Chapter 5: Week 49 Progress

Added 2025-07-08 02:32:51 +0000 UTC

Hey all,

It took a lot longer to get the report posted tonight because I wanted to be able to announce that I've finished with the script and coding for this release! Or at least the beta version... There's still a lot of testing and polishing that I need to complete. On top of testing, I have 2 pages of notes for edits, photoshops, and SFX/songs, etc... that I need to integrate into the chapter as well.

However, as you might imagine, testing is probably the easiest step in the entire development process. So, if I'm a good Bonk, then I can start sending test copies to the testers sometime next week, and then I can start rolling the update out for subscribers soon after that.

So I still won't make any promises, because as soon as I do, something will inevitably mess everything up... But ideally, this update will be fully released before the anniversary of the last update. I really don't want this update to have taken me a full year, even if I'm only a week or two short.

Also, for those who read the rules on the last report about the beta tester requirements, you can disregard those requirements until further notice. After some helpful comments and a little reflecting on the problem, I decided that for the time being, I'm just going to choose the people that I think want/deserve it, without any specific requirements. I'll be changing the Mithril subscriber tier to remove 'Beta tester eligibility' from its description as soon as I can.

Alright, that's all for this report, folks!
Much love!
JB
