Saturday Pics - Second Week June 2022! (Very Important Information Inside)
🕑 Added 2022-06-11 18:00:04 +0000 UTCHello people! today Saturday Pics have very very very important information, I was going to prepare images with text but I decided to better write it here, so lets start!
This month I will be moving to live in another city... in another country... in another continent ๐this is something that I have being planning since the start of this year, because it's a total change in my life, I will be moving from Spain to Venezuela. (It doesn't seem like a smart decision, right? ๐)
I want to let everyone know, because this game is getting big and popular thanks to everyone of you, and the least I can do to be thankful, is to let know everyone of you that if I go radio silent for a few days is because of that, this will also change the hour at which usually I'm connected, I'll be more 'aligned' with people from America hour wise, so my Discord / Post hours will change too.
These last months I've been under a lot of pressure because this is a very big decision ๐ I quit my job here (that's why everyone have seen me spending more time in Discord) and still I'm under a lot of pressure as everyone can surely imagine ๐
I didn't want to tell everyone about this earlier, just wanted to try to stay focus on the game without excuses, and a lot of people without knowing this, wrote me that I've to take my time to make the game, and that there is no problem if I've to take more days for the launch... wow, I really appreciate that, truly ๐ thanks so much.
That being said I'm doing my best to release the game tomorrow, I've to pack my things (computer, monitors, etc) and send them to Venezuela, so I've to do that the next week(s) and hopefully they will be there before I arrive to keep working on IoM (this is a custom made pc that I built for this game and for rendering, without this pc I can't develop at the same pace that I'm doing right now or do the kind of animations that this last update will have) and while I don't have it, I can do simple things with my laptop.
Also the country is very corrupt ๐ I hope the the computer don't 'dissapear' mysteriously ๐
But... this means that this will be a small update? Not at all! like I told previously, no excuses ๐ maybe this is one of the biggest updates so far, I think this is the update with:
A) The biggest amount of renders in any update so far
B) This update contains more animations that all previously updates combined
C) New kind of animations and effects in this new update (As always, trying to improve and a new things)
D) Animated main menu screen (very subtle) ๐
E) A new character (Nina) I've not posted any image in Sat or Sunday pics of her because you all know my policy of 0 spoilers ๐ฎโโ๏ธ๐จ
F) The update is over 30+ minutes of gameplay, playing at 'normal' speed
G) And more
I hope everyone has been following the Johnny / Amber trial ๐ any similarity to reality in the game is PURE COINCIDENCE ๐
I've learned a lot of new things doing this update, things that I'll use in the future to keep making the game better and better
So the update has a lot of cool things, but there is a downside ๐ฒ... I will do my best to launch it tomorrow, probably near 10:00-12:00 PM Spain hour (GMT+2)
Right now, it's not finished, and I'm still working on it and adding more and more things, so this is the first update that I'll launch without being tested first ๐ this can lead to bugs...
So if there's any bug, I'm sorry, just let me know and I'll try to fix it ASAP (That's why I'm keeping my laptop) I can't make images with my laptop but I can fix or modify code, so I will probably will still be connected during 1 or maybe 2 weeks (while I'm still here packing and sending all my stuff to another continent haha) during that time I can fix bugs if they appear ๐
If that pressure is not enough... I'm scared of planes haha ๐ , so pray for Jen and the girls that the plane don't crash ๐
I'm again, very surprised and happy that people without knowing all of this has shown me a lot of support on Discord / public or direct messages, and direct messages via Patreon, the community that is being created around the game is AMAZING, I remember when I started the private Discord with 0 members like a year ago hehe, I was hoping someone to join haha ๐
I know that many people will ask me why I'm moving from a country like Spain and quitting my job here to a country like Venezuela, and that would be a very good question! especially because Venezuela is a very insecure country with a high rate of corruption, 80% of the people live in extreme poverty, there are constant blackouts, the quality of life is very low, it has sanctions from USA, there is nothing like Amazon so trying to buy something is very hard, and the list goes on... And the answer is extremely simple... family ๐
There is a very high possibility that I'll be the only person in the country developing a VN ๐
But I've so much to do now and I'm writting all of this! And we know why we are here today, right people? for the Saturday Pics!!!! So lets go people!
1) Our lovely Jen doing tricep kickbacks ๐ฅฐ
2) Eve and Jimmy in the MarcialART gym!
3) What is John doing? I think he's praying, what do you thing he's doing? ๐ค
4) A doggo!!!!... WAIT! Why is a pic of a doggo? What is going thru MarcialARTs head/brain? Maybe he went crazy? ๐ฎ
Have a great weekend everyone will keep working on V 0.05! See ya!

Hello TPB! thanks a lot, indeed is very stressful ๐คชAbout the Discord, send me your full Discord username here or with a direct message and I would gladly add you ๐(It's a private server, so only having an invitation does not work)
TPB
Good luck with your move. Iโve moved continents and it is stressful. Iโm hoping you can invite me to discord soon since the invite link is not working . Thank you ๐ป
MarcialART
Thanks a lot Sparxx! Yes, that's a very good observation, I'm getting insurance for the equipment, you are right having a bad feeling about Venezuela customs ๐
MarcialART
Those are good possibilities Woody!, but I still think that he's only praying ๐
Safe journey boss. I'm so proud of you for following your dreams and living with family. You've truly given up a lot. I hope your equipment has insurance because I have a bad feeling about Venezuela customs ๐
Woody George
#3 may be John getting some action or he getting punched by one of his people that wants to see Jen.
MarcialART
Hahaha ๐
Fayt Leingod
Hey Marcial instead of waiting till lom gets bigger maybe you could rent a C130 and just have it shipping to your new address LOL. I am sure your family would would have quiet a few questions for you regarding that move hahah
MarcialART
Thanks a lot Greggp! I hope that too ๐
MarcialART
When IoM grows bigger I will hire a transport to go there and bring the Abrams, Fayt ๐
Greggp1989

MarcialART
Thanks to you Anna! Yes, it's not the same as living in Europe, thanks for the good wishes, and I will be careful, the future of the IoM girls is in my hands, nothing can stop that! hehe ๐
Fayt Leingod
Marcial doesn't need luck. I live like not even a mile from the military base here. I am sure they wouldn't mind loaning me a M1A1 Abrams Tank for Marcial but sadly your gonna have to find your own way to Transport it to Venezuela LOL
anna mazzella
Thanks for the pics and the new update for the game this week. I wish you well. I hope you will be OK, Please be careful . You don't have to turn to the news to know that Venezuela is a very trobled and even a dangerious country. Take care of yourself.
MarcialART
Hahaha, hey Fayt! It's easy to bribe when Jess is on my side ๐คฃ
Fayt Leingod
Haha I already knew you was moving to be with family. But you bribed me with Jess so I had to be shush shush about it. :P LOL
