March 2024 Update
🕑 Added 2024-03-03 19:51:56 +0000 UTCGreetings Everyone,
Over the last month, we raised $555.44 on Patreon and $46.18 on Paypal. This brings us to $601.62 for the month and $1493.98 toward our $2500 milestone goal. At this rate, we should meet Milestone #4 in 2 months.
Progress on the Aeromogul slot system slowed over the last month as I had to redirect focus toward GearCity: 2nd Gear bug fixes. This culminated in a few hotfixes and one full minor update, v2.3.0.1.
I hope GC:2G v2.3 is stable enough now that I can knock out 2.5 months of work on AM unabated. Then I will have to jump back into GC:2G for 2-3 Months as I work on Milestone #4.
Artwise, last I talked to Serhey he was working on texturing the new vehicle bodies. Yes, the new art system has textures and shaders! Remember, the new system's goal is to make the car designer more functional AND pretty. But unfortunately, I have no eye candy at this time.
But what I can show off is the unfinished slot system UI for AeroMogul. Backend functionality works for this as well:
Currently, I am working on slot acquisition, which is fairly complex compared to most games in this market. Once I have that working, I will switch to AI flight timing/scheduling. With that designed, the AI will use the slot system for their flights. At that point, things in this GUI will look much less uniform, and I can start working on player flight scheduling.
The website and points will be updated a little later this evening.

Once I get the stuff I mentioned in the post and couple other little things, we should have a playable enough game for a very early alpha test. GC:2G slows me down a bit though. I was really hoping to have a "beautiful corner" finished by now, but the artwork side of things have stagnated. But that's fine. The amount of programming work that needs to be done dwarfs the artwork requirements.

Really looking forward to a playable form of Aeromogul!
