I actually think the model adds a lot to the experience. He still spends a disproportionate amount of effort on it.
He's not spending time on it. His graphic artist is. The entire delay in this is because he can't write to any schedule.

So, just to check in and see the complete cluster-f**k that this has become.......

The so called "update" that was supposed to come out like a week ago or so, is now "delayed" yet again for
1) Writing issues
2) Coding issues
OR 3) Avatar reasons

Correct?

In other words: The update mentioned to come out at least a week ago is now delayed (1,2 or 3) until at least some time in Dec?

Really liked the Bangkok update. What happened to the new backround stories? I think I missed some information between those two updates. Are they two different games now?

The background stories weren’t completed, and because they decided to jump straight to Bangkok, it was temporarily taken out of the game. Crushstation has said they’ll finish them at some point and insert them back in the game, but I don’t think they have a plan for how and when. So in a sense it’s two different games at the moment, yes.

Aha, its understandable considering people wanted the story to progress. They can work on the backstories as a side-project to allow the story to move on. I really liked those backround stories so I was kinda bummed when they removed them, but yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah don't worry, it will just take another 2 years to add them back. Then another year to integrate the few character attributes that survived after the re-remake into the 2-3 scenes of the actual 'game'.
Aren't you excited like him? (well tbh I'd be, just looking at my bank account)
Oh and our lovely Victoria will add an option to let you choose the exact number of body hair on your avatar, so worth it! :D

(1.14 week 9) Bar shift scene is done!
This was a tough scene to write. But it’s done! I finished it yesterday.
It’s not an exact measure, but all the Bangkok story content in 1.13 ran to about 8000 lines of code. The new story content for 1.14 is around 11,000 lines of code, so it should feel bigger. And there are two quests instead of one, so it should feel sexier.
I hope you like it

What’s left
  • The writing’s now done, but it needs editing for pace (Crush)
  • New avatar clothes need to be coded into the game (Victoria, Jeff, Crush)
  • Emotes need to be coded into scenes (Crush)
  • Makeup needs to be coded into the game (Jeff, Hyneman)
I don’t think we can get all this done in a week, but I think we can get the bulk of it done. I’ll work my ass off as usual and report how close we are next week.

It's always like that..
..after the initial months of reporting about nothing he starts to say he's woking like a madman, that he has a plan
..then other weeks pass where he says he's stressed and he's taking weekends to recover

[it's my opinion that at this stage, when he says he's stressed, it's becasue he hasn't done shit in the previous months and he realises he has to start to do something]

..then other reports about some distant deadline (2-3 weeks)
..at the first deadline he says he underestimated the effort and he needs more time (2 weeks)
..at the second deadline he's optimistic becase things are running out smoothly and he will soon give a release date (1 week)
..at the third deadline he's stressed again because what he wrote didn't feel smooth. BUT he has some exciting pictures to show us about some totally useless work on the avatar by out lovely Victoria

[note that all this fucking time all he worked at is a single fucking scene. O n e s c e n e. Something that the average guy could write in two or three days]

..after another 1-2 weeks he's so exausted but so happy: the single fucking scene now feels smooth, he just need another week
..a week later he's so happy with himself [he probably just saw that somehow the patrons are all still there], he's now done with the scene. He just need more time to code whatever nonsense into the scene, code some other avatar nonsense into the scene, then edit the scene some more [yes, you heard right, edit again the single fucking scene], then code the makeu..ahhahahahah, ok I'm gonna stop here because I'm laughing too much :ROFLMAO:

It's so fucking beautiful and sad at the same time. I need to find a way to make money like him.

1.14 Final week
Hey guys! This week Victoria finished creating the artwork for this update, and Jeff processed them into FA game assets.
Next week we're going to release the early access version of 1.14 to Analysts+.

This part is always so nerve-wracking for me. Like Johnny Rico, I always get the shakes before a drop. But I've really enjoyed writing this update, so I hope you'll enjoy playing it.

See you next week!
