Development Log : Week of June 15 - 21

Since I don't want to be continuously spamming everyone's emails every day with my progress report, I'll be editing this pinned post throughout the week instead.

Current Stretch Goals

• $300 per month to unlock spicy side stories  (Achieved!)

• $600 per month for extended character Question & Answer sessions  (Achieved!)

• $1000 per month to unlock a second drabble each month (Currently: $1000+/$1000)

Browser Compatibility:

• Works: Chrome, Opera, Safari (Mobile), Brave (Desktop)

• Doesn't Work: Firefox + derivatives (Might work as of June 2025), Midori

• Sound files may not work properly on iOS 💀 (Update to OS might fix this)

June 15

• Checked/Edited/Polished ~350+ Lines of Code(Currently at line 4945 out of 5494 Chapter2-2, Approx ~2200 words)

• Joining someone in the bunkbed + all the reactions that garners + bunkbed musical beds version done. Started the loft bed section. Of course, the bed-switching code isn't working properly here. 🪦

• I'm definitely going to do an Alpha Update next month where you can use Cheat Mode to trigger the Harbingers that haven't officially joined yet because there's so much of them in the Free Time Hub already

June 16

• ~450 words written/coded of game.

• Checked/Edited/Polished ~375+ Lines of Code(Currently at line 5261 out of 5608 Chapter2-2, Approx ~2100 words)

• Terribly buggy loft bed variation done. I had to rewrite the bed-switching code for the fourth time again. Who wants to bet that the sofa & dinette bed versions will need to be rewritten too? 💀

June 17

• Checked/Edited/Polished ~400+ Lines of Code (Currently at line 5639 out of 5669 Chapter2-2, Approx ~2300+ words)

• Dining bed + sofa bed done. All the extra RO reactions in the gosub file are also done. Just need to finish off some extraneous bits which I fully expect to catch on fire at this point.

June 18

• Wrote 950+ words of this month's Q & A session

• Checked/Edited/Polished/Wrote ~300+ Lines of Code (Completed at Line 36568)

• That's it. End of the Free Time Hub.

• Preliminary QuickTest passed.

June 19

• Wrote 1300 words of this month's Q & A session

• Created new ending file. Prepping Beta files for update.

• Didn't realize that I'd wiped out all the annotations on Chapter2-3 back on 11/11/2024 3:23PM (good thing I saved all my backup files to a zip drive!🙃) so I had to spend a nonnegligible amount of time searching for and combining those files today. Then I screwed up my annotated version of the free_time_hub file.

June 20

• Wrote 600 words of this months Q & A session + uploaded + scheduled to post on Tuesday.

• Still prepping the Beta Update

• QuickTest passed. RandomTest... failed... failed... failed...

• I spent literally hours combing through the code to find an obscure gosub/goto bug in the Adrian Table Mountain section. But that conversation had been coded several updates ago, how did it pass literally hundreds of thousands RandomTests before now? And now there's another one in the ^%^ Bed Hub that I can't track down...

• 💀 😵 ☠🧟⚰️🪦

June 21

• Wrote ~1000 words of this month's mini-game (although quite a bit of that is just the startup file + stat menu)

• No one will ever realize how much research I had to do for that single page of setup before the shenanigans begin. And I still can't find any canon heraldry for Duke Escant or the kingdom of Elmet.

• Finally caught all the bugs. Maybe. QuickTest passed. RandomTest x 50,000 passed. Noticed an on 'oopsy' in Merlin's Phone file. QuickTest passed again.

• I'll probably (hopefully) finish fussing with all the new files tomorrow, so the Beta Update for the Greater Circle tier will come on Monday.
