Update soon

Hello again,

I'm very sorry about the lack of communication recently and the lack of an update. I've been going through quite a stressful time over the past month (this year isn't going very well for me so far), which has been impacting my progress. I'm still working on the next update and will have the preview version released as soon as I possibly can.

Thank you all so much for your support and patience, and I'm sorry again for how slow I've been with updates this year. Hopefully things will change soon.

Slight Delay

Hello again,

I've got the big PR merged, but I'm still working on the main quest content, so I'm going to delay the preview release by a couple of days in order to get it finished. I could get something put together for a release tonight, but I thought that it would be better to get this main quest content finished off first. Sorry about leaving this delay post until the last minute; I kept on thinking that I'd be able to get it done in time...

Thank you for your patience, and I'll be back in a couple of days with the preview release!

P.S. I'm aware that the wiki has broken, but I'll only have time to fix it after this release is out.

Edit (Wednesday, 31st): I'm still working as fast as I can on getting this version ready. I'll have it released by the end of the weekend at the absolute latest! Sorry!!!

Progress News

Hello again,

This is just a very small post to let you know that things are going roughly according to plan, and that I should have the big PR merged and the main quest content finished by the end of this weekend. As such, the preview version of 0.4.8.5 should be out by this Sunday, 28th. I'll make another post before then if it's looking like I'm not going to make that date.

Thank you all once again for your support, and I'll see you again very soon!

More Progress News

Hello again,

I ended up losing a couple more days than planned over this past week (due to getting some things sorted out in my life), so I'm still a little ways off getting this preview update finished. I've made progress on the main quest content, and should be able to get that finished off over the next few days. I'm also still hoping to get a big pull request merged for this next release, so with that in mind I'll be aiming to get the release out towards the end of this next week. I'll make another post to let you know how things are going on Wednesday.

Thank you all once again for your support, and I'll see you again soon!

Progress News

Hello again!

This is just a very small post to let you know how things are going towards the next release of v0.4.8.5. So far, I've finished fixing all of the reported bugs, and have also merged more pull requests (PRs) from github. I'm planning on merging a big PR before this next release, so the only things that I've got left to do before the release is ready are:
- Merge the big PR
- Finish the main quest content I was working on

I'll also try to add one of the extra goals that I mentioned in the previous post, but that'll depend on how much time I have left over after competing the two points above. I'm going to be away from my computer for a few days this week, so timing will be a little tight, but I should still be able to get everything done by this time next week.

I'll make another progress news post on Friday to let you know how things are going. Thank you all once again so much for your support, and I'll see you again soon!

Plan for v0.4.9

Hello again,

I'm feeling a lot less stressed now that I've got v0.4.8 released, and although I'm going to need to take a couple of days both this week and the next in which to get some things sorted out, I should be able to get back to working on LT at a decent pace once again. My plan for this next version is to focus on a few key things, with some extra goals on top to work on if I get time. These goals are as follows:

My key goals are:
- Finish fixing reported bugs
- Merge more PRs (Pull Requests) from github
- Finish the main quest content I was working on

And my extra goals are:
- Add yoga content to Pix's gym
- Add loans to the bank (along with related bounty hunter content)
- Add Shadow & Silence content

I'm going to focus on bug fixes to begin with, and then after that I'll spend a few days sorting out PRs. After that I'll get the main quest content finished. Depending on how long that's taken me, I'll either get a preview version (v0.4.8.5) released at that stage, or move on to getting one or more of the extra goals added. I don't want this preview version to take more than a couple of weeks, and as I'll be losing four or five days over that time to getting some personal matters sorted out, I likely won't have much time in which to get the extra goals added. As such, they'll probably roll over into the full public release of v0.4.9.

That's my plan as it stands at the moment, although things might change. I'll make a progress update post at the end of the week to let you know how things are going.

Once again, thank you all so much for your support, and for sticking with me during the big delays of the past two releases. I hope to not let that happen again, and to get the preview version finished within two weeks. I'll see you again in the next progress post!
