Plans
Patrons only

Hi
Well, I'll just lay out my plans for January.
This month I plan on releasing 2 Dana updates, and one IR update. Also the alpha of the prologue for the post Dana game.
The first Dana update will be not this weekend but the next one, as usual. As for IR, I'm not sure. Just released one a few days ago, so it will probably be near the end of the month.
I hope to have the alpha for the prologue of the post Dana game ready this weekend but I'm not making a promise on that. Most of the renders and the dialogue are done, but since it's a new project there's a lot of coding that I have to do from scratch. So, we'll see.
(Added message.)
Today I'll also be posting a new version of the patcher for testing. I'll need about 20 testers, so I'll release it to 10+ patrons only. The reason for this, is that I'm testing the server. And I want to limit the logins for now. Till I can make sure that it can handle the traffic with no problems. If everything goes well, and there's no reason why it shouldn't, no future download will be over 30MB's. And the patcher will no longer trigger your antivirus.
Also, some uncertain news. I've been postponing a promotion at work. I had hopes that at some point patreon will make up the difference in salary. But I have to throw the towel in on that. They were about to offer it to someone else, and I couldn't delay any longer. I'll be starting in my new position in mid February.
How will this affect releases? I don't know. On one hand, I'll have fever office hours to deal with, and I can work more from home. On the other, I'll have monthly business trips. How all this will work out, I'm not sure.
I've spoken with some of the people who help me with rendering. Maybe I can prepare more renders while I'm home and with a lighter schedule, and have them render while I'm away. I can't tell you how it will work out till I actually do it.
That's it for now.
Will keep you updated every few days on the next Dana patch, and the prologue.
As always, I'm very grateful for your support.
