Devlog #13: Back on track
Hello friends,
here we are back with another devlog. And oh boy am I glad to finally tell you I got things sorted out and I can go back to developing the actual story.
Wait, what happened?
In my previous devlog I mentioned an issue that occurred. Back then I called it a big one. In reality… it was a gigantic one. 😅 For a while it actually looked like I wouldn't be able to create CGs anymore. And without going into too much detail (too embarrassing lol), that basically would have meant no more content for the game… which would be… bad? 🫠
As you can imagine, I went into full panic mode. While trying to fix things and get everything running again, I also started making plans for the worst case. Thinking about how I could somehow bring the story to a somewhat satisfying end… or at least to the end of a chapter. And oh boy… even just thinking about being forced to end the story (or pause it for a long time) made me really sad and kinda made me realize how invested I am in the characters and the story 😵
And that's exactly why I'm so glad to share with you that everything got resolves and that I'm now back on track developing 0.19! Yay!! 😁
That said, the whole situation did have a small effect on the development schedule:
a) Gallery update!
While I wasn't able to make much progress on the story side, I used the time to implement a highly requested feature: showing missing pictures in the gallery. Along with that, unlocked images will now be persistent, meaning you'll keep them between runs and can go full picture hunting (if that's your thing).
This is how things look right now:
b) Behind on schedule
Losing around 10 days set me back a bit 😅 so I'll try to catch up, but the next release might take a little longer than anticipated. Sorry about that and thanks for your patience! I'll announce the new release date in the next devlog.
As always, thanks a lot for sticking with the game and just being here, it really means a lot 😊 Hope you have a fantastic weekend. Stay safe!
Your Donut
P.S.
Could it be that someone got a little too much sun? 👀

There's going to be one soon!
Hope everything is alright! Any ideas on the timeline for the upcoming update? Can't wait!
Hey i wanna be paid member but I cant pay with card and paypal is taking too much time to confirm bank sources is there any fast option?
Someone else paid for my membership for me. Maybe you can find someone to help you with that.
Is it update day today
Naah i think he said need to wait more days
So date of update ?
I'm happy that we're back on track! I hope the default will be that missing pictures are hidden. It ruins the immersion in phone games when you open the gallery and see all those blurred or placeholder pictures.
It's hidden by default :) You can opt in if you're curious what you might've missed
I hope everything is going allright! Take care, dont push yourself too far ☺️
Oh no, I'm glad that the issue got resolved hope everything is good now and that you are doing well 🫡👍
Dev to dev, don't try to catch up, please. Just stick to the pace you usually do man, your updates are always worth it
Nuh-Nuh-Nora 🥺
Just for the record. Doesn't look it's Nora. So who got too much sun? Mina or Alexis? U are still missing the evidence pictures.😂 Like always. Really don't bother with missed release dates, I've seen alot worse" months behind" take the time, see the sun, don't fick anything up, "again"😜 what happened to snapgram. Full implementation is around?
I guess that's Nora..
Please take as much time as you need, I hope that you don't have to abruptly end this great game, if you need help with these issues we are willing to help if it's possible, am looking forward to the new update, I just hope it's a bit longer with more images than the previous one which felt a bit short, thank you for your hard and amazing work again please take your time no one is in a rush
