In Her Own Hands v.0.8.3 Path Poll & Dev Update

With the public version of In Their Own Hands ver. 0.1.5 now out of the way, I am shifting focus back over to In Her Own Hands.

First, the Path Poll is now available to Patrons $9 and up. It will be open until Monday at midnight, and be made public as soon as the poll ends. Click here to access the poll.

Second, a few notes about this update.

Creating the public "to-do" list for the last ITOH update worked really well for keeping me on task and preventing extraneous "content creep." I will be doing that again with this update once the Path poll and Scene poll have both ended.

Two tasks are already on the to-do list:

• The latest update to SugarCube changed the Save API, and something broke. More than likely, from what I can tell, it is just some clashing CSS. Fixing this is my top priority for this update. I will be getting started on it even before the polls have ended. Wish me luck!

• I am going to continue transitioning old text messages into the new system. This will be especially beneficial on a couple of paths where---in the old "image" version of text messages---I had options that required multiple images to be created and called based on the choice. The new system will make choosing different options a much easier endeavor. There is no way that I will finish all of them in this update, but I will try to get at least one path done. As far as I can recall, the Abby and Jasmynn paths have the most text messages with the most options.

Finally, my work schedule is going to be changing sort of drastically in about two weeks. I can't predict yet how this is going to affect development time on this and future updates, so I won't project a release date yet. Once I have a better idea of how much I have finished and how my new schedule will affect things, I will let you all know. My current goal for this update's alpha release is between 4-6 weeks, but I am not prepared to commit to this timeline just yet.

Thanks again for your support!
