Progress Report

Hey yo.

Just some quick updates with this Patreon post. All projects have long-term goals, so take note that the below are just the more short-term stuff I have in mind for them. If you need long-term items, my past Progress Report posts are still accurate.

I am currently providing for BISR the same polish work I did for LPO. This direction isn't any thing new, and we've been at it since I declared BISR functionally complete as a renewal as of 2.3. Even then, I am continuing work on 2.4.5 with OStim integration, improved handling of SexLab events, and more QOL features.

LPO doesn't have much in the near future as we are pretty much right at the asymptote of improvements. The one thing I want to improve when I next have time is Ambience's compatibility with Devious Devices. I want to properly block dialogue where appropriate, and soft integration may require SPID to distribute a blacklist keyword. I'm still thinking over this implementation.

As it's been apparent, my progress is slowing down. Two reasons: I've been busy in real life, but equally important is that much of my progress for these projects were front-loaded. Unlike many authors, I devoted effort simultaneously toward speed and quality for the goal of having long-term playable versions as early as possible. These two aspects would be contradictory if not for that most authors typically substitute one or the other for novel features instead. As such, it is entirely natural for my progress to slow at a faster rate. I am quite happy as a user of my own work.

Along with this update post, I am also announcing that I won't be pausing billing at one-month thresholds of inactivity. It's one less thing I have to remember to do. I'm also disallowed from disabling billing perpetually, anyway, beyond removing my page. For as long as I don't go the way of Ponzi, this page will always remain open as a tipping page, as I've described before.

Now, back on the topic of project work: If you aren't already on my Discord server, come join us! I'm always open for consultation, and we already have some BISR betas in the channel for testing. Beta 1 is likely the stable beta so far if you need a fix for mod event reception. The next beta that will be uploaded on Patreon, when closer to RC, will be for BISR.
