ANNOUNCEMENT: PATREON GOAL REACHED!
Well, it's finally happened. We can finally dedicate ourselves FULL-TIME to the development of Taffy Tales!
What does this mean? Well for starters it means I'll have more time to draw and refine the game to an even higher standard than it is now.
In light of reaching our goal, and as part of our policy to improve the quality of production, we thought we'd share some news with you.
NEW STRETCH GOAL:
You may have noticed that a new goal has been added. We never actually consideredreaching this goal, and we're already overwhelmed by your amazing support in letting uswork full time doing what we love!
This new goal is so we can begin the process of
HIRING a new
CODER to help further increase development speed.
This new stretch goal also covers me being able to get some new shinyand expensive hardware (and software) to hopefully further increase both the production speed and quality of future updates.
SO WHAT'S NEXT?
Well first off all, Lostraven has sent me over all of the content that couldn't quite make it into the previous update, AND a re-draft of the opening and some earlier scenes in the game! Don't worry, nothing is being stripped from the game, we're just adding more options to make the game feel as interactive as possible.
All of this content will come courtesy of a '
TECHNICAL UPDATE'. We want to make sure everything (including the coding and bugs) are ironed out to the best of our ability before starting the Mega updates.
OKAY BUT WHEN'S THE NEXT 'REAL UPDATE?'
AFTER THE TECHNICAL UPDATE RELEASES, we begin the process of the first of the Mega updates...
I know, I know...
This is what you voted on the Polls for. We can now finally reveal the order of the Mega updates!
1.) A combined Becca/Clara update. (Over 40K words written!)
2.) The fabled MARY update! (Over 50K words written!)
3.) The Tiffany update! (To be written!)
And now a few words from the writer, Lostraven.
'Hey guys, I know you desperately want the Mary update done, and many of you will want to know why it isn't first on the block. At the time, due to the size and scale of these mega updates, we didn't want to start with Mary in-case it was simply too overwhelming. We certainly want to avoid any dips in quality due to exhaustion on our part. In light of this, the
'Main story' that is being introduced into the game now flows through the three Mega-updates cohesively, and we couldn't be more excited to show you what we're working on!
Thankfully, all of fears were unfounded, as we now have the time to deliver these characters updates justice without burning ourselves out
From the bottom of our hearts we wish to say thank you,
We hope we continue to deliver the content you guys enjoy and push the boundaries with what's expected of us.
