And here is the TLDR:

-Rough week, but the numbers were steady across the board.
-I discuss how S8 is broken into 5 sections, 1 is finished, 2 is around 85% finished, 3 is about 75%, 4 is 40%, and 5 is 25%.
-May need to update the progress report image to make the above point more clear in the future.

For any of you celebrating over the holiday, I wish you all the most wonderful and happiest week. I hope you get to see your families and enjoy all the delicious foods! To the rest of us, I pray for you to enjoy the cosiest of holiday breaks, with the freshest and fastest food deliveries!

Much love!
JB

reports, but I didn't really do much this week because of the holidays.
I'm back to work this week, though, so until the next report, I hope everyone stays safe this New Year's!

Also, I'd like to extend a MASSIVE thank you to all of the donors here who were kind enough to vote for me in the site's ongoing Christmas Contest. I genuinely don't think I deserve to be on the list when compared to some of the other incredible (and far more consistent) developers being nominated, but I'm still very grateful! Y'all are far too kind!

Happy New Year, Everyone!!
Much love!
JB

 

[Fantabulous]

Jabbonk Why of course you deserve to be on that list, just like ScrewMe and every developer who goes out of their way to keep us freeloaders posted on their progress with our fav games. I'd vote for you guys if I could but I'm not a donor.

Happy holidays everyone!

And it's a long report, so I'm definitely putting the TLDR here:

-New year reflections have me very disappointed in my constant slow dev progress
-Decided 'slow and steady' mentality I've been trying for the last 4+ years just isn't working out
-Setting deadlines and hard goals for myself starting now!
-First goal: All renders and animations for this release need to be finished this month.
-Second goal: Testing/coding/audio finished for mid feb
-Finally: Release update mid-late Feb, or sooner if possible.
-reworked S7 again and may be able to finish it in 30ish renders, despite painfully slow setup times (might still cut section)
-Of the five S8 sections: sections 1, 2, and 3 are complete, and sections 4 and 5 are around 50% complete.
-Sorry for being such a slow dev. I hate myself for it, but I'm trying to change.

That's all, folks.
Much love

Hey JB, love your updates as always and looking forward to the release, but I just wanna say:

If you want to improve that's great, but it makes me sad if the reason is that you feel too slow. It's already really impressive that you're taking on a big project like this for, essentially, love of the game. What you're doing is already cool!

I like the story you're telling. I'm excited to see the continuation, and the more you do the better you will get, it's just inevitable. But don't feel like you need to go faster just to be faster. You're doing great

I don't know if it's been said, but the MC is WAY too cheerful. Bro has an '!' every other damn sentence. I need this dude to be detached, devoid of emotion and monotonous. Dude lost his father and two brothers and has the gall to act all cheery for no reason. I get have a few throughout the story but dude is just way too happy about everything. Bro says 'Oh, it was nothing!' as if he gets pegged on the daily.

has the gall to act all cheery for no reason

"No reason"? With all the pussy he's getting? Fuck you talking about?

 

[buttsman69]

I need this dude to be detached, devoid of emotion and monotonous.

Well, not all of us do.

Any number of reasons someone might be cheerful in the face of tragedy, not least of which it's been near or over a decade. Not every MC has to be an edgelord, especially when they have a support system around them.

Well, he's the most powerful man in the Queendom, has the most powerful women in the Queendom throwing themselves at him. He is becoming a powerful mage, warrior, and leader. Don't forget he's conventionally attractive, and has sex with tons of beautiful women. But sure, he should be a miserable cunt because something terrible happened to him when he was a small boy. I appreciate he doesn't let his past define him.

 

[Fantabulous]

Yeah, who would want to be in the shoes of someone like that...? Heh.

Homelander is kind of the way Skyrim should have been done if you ask me.

Love the story so far and being set in medieval times. My only 'gripe' would be that a lot of things aren't with the times. I just finished with Abigail and learning about the races, towns, and the map. I didn't see or read anything as far as 'modern technology' within the storyline or how they came across them.

Like I said, I enjoy AVNs that are set in this time era with magical/elemental abilities, but the blacksmith has a ruler that looks like the 'modern era' along with a few other things that I've noticed while playing. Clothes are another thing; some of them are also a bit too modern. There are also some clothing that look like they came out of the Victorian era, so I’ll slide that slide since even during that time, things had somewhat of a medieval 'way of life'.

Another thing is kinda minor, but I noticed it regardless: Glorias shop and sees what she is selling, and there is a chalkboard with pricing. I'm pretty sure during that time, nobody paid in 'modern currency’, so it shouldn't have .25, .50, etc. Pretty sure it would've just been a single-digit number in occurrence to their currency such as copper, silver, and gold.

Nonetheless, I really enjoy this story so far. I will be leaving a review once I'm done with the latest update. So far, it's looking to be a good plot and story; the renders are great, and the characters look really good (aside from the occasional weird faces they make). Other than that, I hope the dev keeps it up and continues; I’m looking forward to the future of Homelander!

What "times"? This is a magical kingdom with not-Hobbits and a largely matriarchal society. Nothing there is realistic

I think that if you are going to set hard goals, that they should be ones that you can easily exceed. If in a week you can usually get between a "small" amount and a "large" amount, then set the goal between a "small" amount and a "medium" amount. Stuff comes up sometimes and with hard goals that are difficult to achieve, you will probably eventually miss your goal and disappoint yourself and the viewers who were told that you would be able to achieve it.

The game's development IS slow, but slow and steady is much better than a quick release schedule that burns you out. If you can raise the pace that would be great, but please don't push yourself too far. Let's aim for "slightly less slow" and steady!

To be honest I prefer a slow Dev every day and anyday in the week over who disappears for a time without any commiunication and then pops up out of nowhere and makes excuses about why the next update is not happenin' good luck and take care Dev keep up the good work looking forward to upcoming update
