Progress Report #7 JAN 4 @ 23:15 UTC:
PART 4 - It's all done! Sort of...
T
echnically, I'm still pending final revisions from aaronminus. There are a few hour left before the final cut off. If I get the corrections in time, I'll do my best to put them in. If not, we'll look at getting them in for the next update (not what I prefer, but can't wait forever). I've done all the other crap I need to do for release (short of uploading).
I've spent most of today testing and re-testing. Looking for typos, errors, bugs, art issue, etc... I've finalized the patch files, finish compression, and built out the uncompressed patch. I've also built the Release Candidates (the finalized version you'll get to play), and I'll be doing more testing on them later today/tomorrow.
So... yeah, it is pretty much ready to go short of uploading. To which you might be screaming: "okay, so release it! GIMMY,
GIMMY,
GIMMY! I WANTS IT! I NEEEEDDDSS
IT!"
And it is coming, just not right this second, but very soon. The target window is roughly around ~18:00 Jan 5th (UTC), which seems far away, but I promise isn't that far off.
Last steps here are some final tests on the RC, dialogue revisions if they make it in time, and then uploading. While those processes doesn't take 18 hours to do, I do have real life obligations that will take up a lot of that time. So, as quickly as I can while balancing the rest of my life around it.
Anyhow... thanks for staying awesome!
