Weekly Progress Report (Nov 14th 2019)
Added 2019-11-14 19:33:31 +0000 UTCD:BB - I am actually ALREADY starting the renders for the next release! See? Told you updates would start coming faster! For those that do not hang out in my Discord, I also tried to release the final version of Docks with the hunt and Bad Ends yesterday, but, there are a couple of hunt-breaking bug, and I sent the file to Impresario last night. He said he will try to get the bugs fixed up today or tomorrow and send it back, so literally, any moment the new release will hit the $5 and up tiers!
SB:C - For those that do not hang out in Discord, Isaac will not be able to program this game after all. In the end, he says that his brother deleted all his work. Now, as my investors, I want you to know I take responsibility for this. The reason I do, is that I trusted him when he told me he was working on it, and believed everything else he said. He never sent me a screenshot, a single file, nothing, so I was going on trust alone.
Whether or not he ever worked on it or whether he did and it did all get deleted, I wish him the best, but know that I did learn from this. When working with programmers, I will require a weekly file sent over with any and all work they achieved the previous week. This ensures that they are really doing what they tell me, and worst case, if anything does happen, I will always have an updated version that is only a week or less old. So, lesson learned, however, I do have some potentially good news.
BlankSubroutine, my old friend and programmer, is currently looking over that mountain of material that I produced for Isaac to build the game. Being professional and trustworthy, Blank wants to go through all my notes and everything before committing to programming it for us, but it's at least a possible hope. He will likely let me know sometime over the next few days, and I will announce his decision. Let us hope it is to program the game!
F:CoC - Still can't pay blank for this one, Patreon too low.
F:SoS - Still looking for a programmer to make this.
General News - Not much to report here. I am totally focused on D:BB and excited to show off the next hunt the moment that I know it will work right! Thanks for your support of my hard work, and as always, please leave feedback here or come chat with me and other Anaxverse fans in my Discord!
Comments
Thank you! I appreciate you investing in me. I will say, besides me requiring the files weekly, I am somewhat glad in the sense that not any (or few if any) of my Patreon supporters are here specifically for SB:C. Now, once it releases someday, I think that there will be influx of investors. Right now, most of my investors like reading, but the Unity games will bring in folks that like video games as opposed to interactive novels. Anyway, thank you!

2019-11-16 00:43:42 +0000 UTCIn any case, brother, this error should not occur, just like my job is a software testing engineer. No matter whether the test results are successful or not, I must back up the corresponding documents and records to prove that I have done this to the final results. Not only to develop a weekly report to you, it is best to attach the source code and the corresponding procedures. So at least there's no need to worry about another accident. It's hard for investors to expect to fail again after a long time. I hope to learn a lesson and make a better game. I will still invest in your game for a long time! (translated by Google browser)
2019-11-16 00:39:47 +0000 UTCGood practice nowadays is to use a version control system. (normally git/mercurial /svn). I recommend to you, set up a github private repository, give them access and simply let them work on it with weekly updates (pull requests). Never ever go without it or file based anymore. Any programmer who doesn't want to work with version control systems should be avoided.

I have no idea if he was trolling me all this time, but regardless, there is currently no game. With luck, Blank will do what I thought Isaac was doing all this time.

2019-11-14 20:38:50 +0000 UTCDid he tried to undelete source code? For instance home version of good professional tool https://www.r-undelete.com/ is free for files under 256Kb (like mostly source code files). Once I'm restored a deleted site after 4 months after removal.
