By rules, ya it was likely deleted... but this is the WVM thread, so it's kind of a weird "sometimes the rules apply, sometimes they don't" kind of area.
when your posts get deleted 99% of the time you get notified they were and why. ive had a lot deleted and only one time did a post go missing without me getting a notice.
then again ive had some contentious back n forths with devs, so maybe they go out of their way for me. you know like a reach around no straight man ever asked for.
jokes aside, if you cant see it and are pretty sure you posted it, its likely a moderator saw it, removed it as off topic but didnt find it important enough to mention or take time to give you notice. also, on this thread if a mod took their time to remove it, then they arent bluejay fans and removed it strictly out of spite, since only name calling really gets deleted round here these days, and thats only when its members calling each other names, no one seems to care about devs feelings. you gotta wonder how far youve fallen that forum mods wont stand up for a dev on their own games thread, but will delete a bluejays post. haha
you know, i decided to work on the game myself, completed all the renders and story reworks in a day but deleted it because i forgot to put a black bar over MC´s face in one scene. While waiting for the reworked stuff to render I single handedly ended all wars. Naturally you all won´t notice any of the changes because IT NEVER FUCKING HAPPENED!!!!!!!!! but you can Donate to my patreon where i post a ton of excuses regularly.
When I first joined it was right in the midst of the overly long episode 13 hiatus. At first I used to be disappointed about the missed deadlines as I did/do enjoy the game, few months in of reading his excuses (or not reading due to his months of silence sometimes) I started finding it rather funny. People actually falling for all the obvious bullshit, It made it rather hard to even sympathize for his supporters. But now well over a year later it started making me wonder... Is he actually just taking advantage of mentally disabled people? Like seriously, how is he getting this much support for nothing but lies? surely people can't be this fuckin stupid to believe anything the dude says anymore.
I hope you've all had good weeks, mine was pretty decent but also a bit chaotic.
I've sent what I was able to, to my testers. Though in a pretty jank way. So far no major issues outside of the jankness. There is a handful of minor stuff as well as some feedback mostly relating to dialogue(...)
I'm currently working on those issues, and making decisions based on the feedback I received. No major changes planned.
I didn't do a ton of render work for the update this week, only about 30 renders and some variant animations. But I also tweaked and edited a few that were pointed out to me as having some issue.
My focus this week was on the much more boring to work on but also necessary work that is essentially just file management. Tons of re-organizing and renaming renders and animations to fit in the things I've added. Tons of dialogue work, edited many more renders, and squeezing the last bit of compression I can out of the android build to hit the 2GB limit.
And the thing I said I was tired of talking about last week, Character Sheets.
I had intended to release them without updating many of the renders in the already released sheets. Well, since my computers had some render downtime I decided to queue all of those up so they match the slight changes in the new ones. I have Harper's here as an example.
The rest for the girls in the A-H name range will be out as soon as those are finished rendering and I am able to put them together, so in the next few days.
I also want to real quick just mention and thank the supporters that have stayed at higher tiers over the months. I've mentioned before and I'll mention again, pledging monthly right now is not needed to receive content (As long as you're in the discord or DM me), though I'm very thankful.
I'm in content debt, I have promised things that have not been released and due to me not wanting anyone to feel like they had to stay pledged I've just been releasing everything to all patrons at the same time, including former ones.
And that will remain the case for all of E14, but it's not permanent. And I am thinking of ways to add something extra for you guys that won't add much extra work but obviously the focus will remain on just getting out of content debt.
Furthermore, the end of the month is upcoming and I have some mental hang ups when it comes to that. I know if I don't say this now the next 8 days will be hell as I would try to make it happen and lose my mind about it.
Day 37 will not be released by the end of the month, there's still a chunk of work to do. And as always with giving bad news, I have an intense urge to instead promise I'll have it out by some other point. Not doing that today. My plan for the rest of the month is just to keep my head on straight, work on the feedback I got, and have things be tested in a larger and less jank way.
That's all I have to share for this week, as always thank you all so much for everything and I hope you all have wonderful weeks. Take care.
