All Patron Teaser ð
🕑 Added 2020-07-29 00:02:07 +0000 UTCAnd you know what that means - Early Release day is close! ðĨģ
I now stagger one-handed and one-eyed towards the finishing line. Yup, one eyed - in addition to my RST I also have an eye problem. Do NOT get Covid... it screws up your health for months! ðą With my lockdown hair and health issues, a generous soul might say I look like a dashing pirate ðīââ ïļ Crueller types might suggest Quasimodo ðð
Anyways, I figured that I'd show you just how much I have managed to do in the meantime... especially since you've all been so patient and sympathetic! ðĪ I always knew the remaster was going to be a big task... I just wasn't prepared for quite how big! (over-optimism is my very un-British character flaw ðģ)
Above are the main highlights of the remastered scenes... so, sooo much! The CGI graphics are now all done (as of 5 minutes ago ð) - so just the remnants of testing, extra coding, editing and UI graphics to go! ð Early Release for Lieutenants+ will hit Patreon on the 31st.
I should remind everyone that Patreon charges when you upgrade and on the first of the month - so plan any payments around the knowledge that upping to LT for Early Release on the 31st will see you pay again on the 1st... not that the additional support wouldn't be appeciated ð I do wish Patreon would take the Steam route of a month from payment, though... Surely this cannot be too hard, Jack! ð

I'm loving the images but I'm sad to hear about yourself. You stay strong, take care of yourself and focus on recovery :)
LukaM
well, we knew that
Pilgrim
OK :-)

Hey Pilgrim -because I promise 3 days Early Release for LT+ in the tiers list it wouldn't be fair to do a simultaneous release (or 100% legal, tbh ð) I'll release All-Patron 3 days after ER - and then keep it Patron-Only for longer than usual - hopefully that should make sure that everyone is recognised for their contributions ð

Cheers rogue! Yeah, not used to be sickly (apart from an old broken ankle I've always been in fine health). Just gotta wait for my body to work through its issues, I guess ðŠðŧ
RanliLabz
Big thanks, Phreddy! ð I always worried about the time needed for the remaster (and the knock-on affect on story prog) - so good to know it's been worth it ð
RanliLabz
Me too! ð I'm really looking forward to getting on to Phase 2 - and the fact that completing Phase 1 will feel like having finished the first part of a trilogy!
Pilgrim
Since there was no update in July, what about to open the remaster for all patrons on 31st?

This is bittersweet news, sweet because the release is close and the images look so good! Bitter because of your eye issues, covid is a menace. Hope your health improves!!

I've played through the remastered release to date, and honestly, any delay in story progression is worth it. The remastered version is so much richer in both story and graphics.

Dashing pirate is good ð looking forward to wrapping the remaster and that spiffy new uniform eventually
RanliLabz
Just remaster, uman... storyline next update ð
RanliLabz
Sorry Michael! But this is the last remaster - meaning the next update will be new storyline! ð (back to Cis and a return to the cadets... plus MC's spiffy new uniform, I hope!)

So still no story progression :(
uman
So is this release only remastered images, or does the story advance as well?
