🕑 Added 2025-09-30 11:14:13 +0000 UTCHello folks, trying to be prompt today as I try to get some shit done, so excuse my brevity.
So first order of business Billing is once again paused and will remain so until release is imminent. Wanted to get that posted first, now some update news.
So as I mentioned last time, we would be having some test builds out. And good news we did move into testing. On the flip side we have what is colloquially referred to as the bad news, while it worked in initial testing, testers and I have encountered errors in the save transfers, while it brings all the point values and a few of the variables (IE names are transferring fine) It does seem to be struggling with a not insignificant chunk of the rest of the variables which obviously is a problem. I’m attempting to figure out what exactly I broke in the process, but coding is not my strength, and this thing was tad more complicated than I usually attempt. I’m working on a fix at the moment, and I have a DM out to the gentleman who helped me build it initially, though he’s been away for a while so we’ll see where that goes. I’d prefer to fix it but worse comes to absolute worst I can just fold this into the initial executable, I’d really like to not do that because the amount of work to accommodate the backend changes is about as much as the work to fix the other problem. Also the size of the game was already getting unwieldy, but at this rate the thing will end up being 30G which is why I split it up in the first place. But at the end of the day I’ll do what needs to be done to get the release out. That’s our big hurdle at the moment, hard for the testers to test properly when paths are firing incorrectly at a whim, but they are doing the absolute best they can manage. They’re the unsung heroes of this whole thing, I wouldn’t be able to manage without them, they’re working the paths and renders they can when they get them, so really I just need to hurry up and solve this code issue and we can get them some proper work.
That’s about where we’re at, everything at the current moment hinges on me getting this fixed before we can make some proper progress so I’m going to get back to it. As usual I’m going to put it in my normal note about getting saves prepared to transfer with the caveat that you can probably wait a little longer, just in case there’s a code issue on that end that needs to be solved. But still be prepared.
That’s all I can really talk about in regards to our current build and where we’re at, so I’m going to leave it here and get back to work. I still have a long protracted dev ramble I’m sneaking out for you folks at some point, but getting my thoughts properly organised and formatted is a chore, and I figured you’d prefer I spend more time working on the update than that, so it’s been a very backburner project. As always I appreciate your support,patience and everything else you’ve contributed to my creative journey. I hope you have a lovely and safe rest of your week.
Sláinte.

All perfectly valid critiques, hear what you're saying and appreciate you sharing your experience. I appreciate the support you've shown and hope when we finish up the game you give it a play and hopefully enjoy.

If my memory is correct, I have been a member for the last 2 years and it's frustrating to say the least. I really like the game and it's probably my favorite VN but after 15 months with no content updates...I kind of lost interest in it, probably forgot some important plot points and I don't have the time or energy to replay it again from scratch just to catch up with it again after all that time. Ultimately, it's your game and you should do what you think fits best but IMO if you want to keep your audience engaged you shouldn't make the updates so large, like you said it yourself "Book One was about 214,000 words. So Part 8 alone is about a third of that size". I hope the game will be finished in a couple of years and I'll probably play it then if I am still around. Until then, good luck!

Every good AVN I see you comment and I mostly agree with you have said

Worst case scenario, just play through again. I'd like to have the excuse and it helps to refresh the memory. Plus I learn new things when I go back through it.

And this is why I hate coding, yes I can do it. I just refuse to do it. Good luck and don't over stress yourself with it. Get up and walk away for awhile when needed.

Dont stress yourself - we are going nowhere, as speaking for myself, you dont have to pause billing. We all know how this business works, so no harm done. So, when it takes more time, it takes more time and i give a shit about that as long as you continue, i love Unbroken and i am looking forward to continue, next month or next year, it doesnt matter. Just my 2 cent, love you guys ! 🫡😉👊
