August 2024 Update
🕑 Added 2024-08-03 14:18:08 +0000 UTCGreetings Everyone,
FBS Fund Raising
We raised $549.56 this month, $540.35 from Patreon, and $9.21 from PayPal. This puts us at $1723.76 toward our $2500 goal. When we reach this goal, we will get a $1000 bonus from Milestone #2's failure, and I will temporarily pause FBS fundraising. I will also be putting an additional $20 from a semi-finished bounty.
GearCity: 2nd Gear
I'm happy to announce that I completed Bounty #19 Complete Factory Redesign and Bounty #8 Merge RnD View and Modify Windows. Unfortunately, Bounty #8 could not be fully implemented. I could not merge the vehicle modification system into the View Vehicle window without a major rewrite of the component selection system. That's not going to happen with this bounty amount. So, I will refund $20 of this bounty even though the other 75% of it is implemented.
I'm about 50% finished with Bounty #67 Engine Height. I should have it finished in about 2-4 more days. I'll finish Bounty #120 shortly thereafter. I expect to have the next GearCity: 2nd Gear update out this month.
AeroMogul
I took a break in the middle of July to throw a few days at AeroMogul. I was able to get the AI to make decisions on which aircraft it wants to order new, and how many they want based on their finances. As mentioned previously, how quickly FBS milestones are being funded and how many bounties are being funded, I'm unable to put much time into AeroMogul. So, I will be pausing FBS fundraising as soon as this next milestone is met primarily to focus on AeroMogul for an extended time.
