Still Working + Preview

Added 2023-01-16 00:48:38 +0000 UTC

Hi all!

I've been cranking away at the newest build of WDD, but unfortunately, I am not going to make my release date tonight. It should only be one or two more days though, so not too bad. Please enjoy this screenshot of the new dreamworld while I continue to work!

This also brings me to the harder discussion. I have been putting out builds for my games to the best of my ability every two weeks for many years now and this one is the first to really challenge that habit. The art workload for WDD is bigger than any game I've done before, even Silkfang as each dreamworld is created from scratch. There is next to no tile reuse. Coupled with the larger character portraits and full screen CGs, a two week release cycle is unsustainable, especially with the coming of the semester.

So here's what I'm going to be doing from now on. Previews of work being done will continue to be posted here weekly, but builds are going to go up only when they are ready. I'm going to try for every three weeks, but depending on my workload, it could be longer. I know some of you are really big fans of the super regular builds, and I am too, but it's just not feasible at the moment. The whole point of my work here is that quality is high and content is thick and this change will allow me to better do that. And don't worry, I'm not anticipating months long gaps between builds.

That's all on that for now. Thanks for being the best community a creator could ever ask for!
