Change of planning (+ update about the current funding)
🕑 Added 2021-03-12 09:54:12 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
I'll first give you a small update about where things are standing in terms of funding. Since you can't see values on Fanbox and/or SS I said I'd show you from time to time so you can know what's the current point.
On Fanbox there are 92 patrons reaching 142,100 Yens. Remember that I have to remove 10% of that amount so that's roughly 128,000 Yens which are roughly $1,170.
On SS, there are 50 subscribers reaching $561. If I add up everything we're around $1,750. Thanks a lot.
Some of you are also giving one-time donations through ko-fi (https://ko-fi.com/K3K72OM8M in case someone wants to make one :x) Thank you very much.
We're not reaching the necessary amount yet BUT, you need to know something. I can't aford to stop paying PeakJump since I'm his main source of income. So I keep paying him for SoV3. So he's still working on the game (even if he's the only one for now). Considering the amount of character creation and design research there is to do, I gave him enough work until the end of July just in that department. On his side, he has finished all the necessary pictures for the update that will be first planned (the one supposed to improve and add content to the story part of the 1st version.) So don't worry, I'll come around with SoV3 updates from time to time even if we're not meeting the required amount.
On my side, it'll help that I have no one else but him to pay for a couple of months (well, I'll have to pay nito for TH2 but it's much more bearable than SoV3 costs XD) considering the fact I didn't pay myself for January and barely did so for February thanks to Patreon ^^' (Talking about it, there are still 209 patrons on my Patreon page :x)
That's it for the "small" update.
Now the second part is about a change of schedule that is going to please some and no others :/
Normally, I was supposed to release an update of TH2 around the end of this month (more or less) and then move on to SoVO. Due to the nature of the current update of TH2 and the fact that there's so much to do I won't be satisfied with it alone, I've decided to switch things a bit:
After this update of TH2 I'll KEEP ON, and I'll work on a another update right behind. I'll move on SoVO after that second update.
This is mainly due to the fact that the brothel is taking long (but not only). We're really trying to make things as good as possible so it's taking much longer than I had originally planned (read "I keep adding mechanics".) I won't detail the different problems but basically, aside from all the "extra" features of the brothel (like the cleaning one I showed in my previous post) the two core features need two updates. The first core feature will be ready for this month's update and the second core feature will be ready for the second update.
And that lead to another unfortunate thing (which is one of the main reason I want to make that second update right away), the sex battles won't be implemented in that version. Which is a bit of shame considering the time I spent working on those these last days. But it's not time lost. That's time I'll gain in the second update, allowing me to pull it out quicker than that one.
Ideally once those two updates will be released, all the core features of TH2 will have been released and we'll be able to release more "classical" updates afterwards. I've always said that this update would be like a first version of a game and it's close to it. There's so much to do I'm scattered everywhere and it's not good for productivity so I'm eager to have all this finished so I can make things at the right pace.
In the meantime, I'll show you more about future content in the coming days. Stay tunned!
See ya o/
