First I wanted to showcase a "feature" which I totally forgot to mention in the last post:
"Custom Save-game names".
While this is far from perfect, it does work and allows a you to set a name before saving, which will then be applied to the save-game (Engrish alert! xD). Also there won't be a prompt every time you save, you just input a name, that's helpful for people who just want to save and don't care about making a custom savename everytime.
Note: You cannot rename old saves on the spot (you would be required to load the save and overwrite with a inputted name), looking at a more advanced thing later but for now it works and can be handy. Also I "coded" this myself so I'm proud xD.
To change up the post style, I will interview myself (lol).
Did you take a break/ were you on veqcation?
No not really. In the last post I mentioned that I won't be able to fully work on LaS for the (back then) upcoming week due to changes in my life. But I was still online/available in discord (sometimes invisible or DND) at that time. I just often felt weak and I had to do other stuff in order to faster accept and process the new situation. Now it's not like a health related issue nor a "big" thing, just something that makes you feel like shit and you try to cope.
Did you had a "burnout"?
Heck no! In fact, before the "bad news", I just had my new workflow going which was awesome and made me feel like a hackerman xD. While I did have crazy updates with sleepless nights in the past, I never got tired working on LaS and make cliffhangers.
Throughout the past week I had a few productive sessions, but that's far from being a monthly dev.
When does LaS 0.07 gets released?
My current situation does not only take away time, it also requires me to get some organizational stuff done as well as move around a lot etc, nonetheless every minute of my free-time will be invested in my passion and that's creating LaS. Regarding the release date I really can't give any accurate estimates, since the time and my productivity can change. I can surely say though that it
won't be this month.
What's with all the "monthly dev" bullshit talk.
Consistently releasing monthly is something I want to be able to do for LaS and future projects, but I'm still far away from that considering all the factors required in order to make this possible.
While my recent situation also isn't something that occurs that often, a real monthly dev would still bring out updates even if the Tschernobyl incident happened right next to him.
To make things clear:
I'M ONE SLOW ASS DEV but I want to change, as I have tons of ideas for games and I want to see them being online one day too.
I'm like an old rusty american car that sometimes doesn't start and also breaks down on the way. But I want to become a beautiful reliable German car where you simply know that you arrive in time (German cars are best cars
@Tommybuns).
That's it for now and there will be new posts about changes like outfit polls, no more gallery rewards etc.
A huge thank you for all your patience and support, this morning I woke up and I felt great, time to stop all that sobbing and get shit done!
If there are any questions just post them below I will try to answer them with my Engrish aka Veqrish
