[News] Public Builds and Time Savings!!!
Added 2017-04-23 01:17:02 +0000 UTCHello Patrons and Lewd Connoisseurs!
Building a brand new engine and supporting a platform like HTML5 has not been the best choice in getting regular builds out to public. Especially since HTML5 is a relatively new thing for me to be trying.
Why? Because solving problems for HTML5 builds has been a bit of a mess when trying to get a stable one and testing them can span a few nights. With the amount of time I have, this is not a good thing.
Building a HTML5 game from Unity takes a lot of compile time, then uploading the result to a website to be tested, which takes additional time. Once it’s finally uploaded, I do a test where I usually find something wrong which I then fix and repeat the whole process all over again. It SUCKS!!
So far, most of the problems have been figured out with the Zurizuri Engine and HTML5 builds, but all the previous minor releases for browser are broken or perform really badly. So it doesn’t look like a decent public alpha release of Paizuri University Chapter 1 will be made available, at least not until next month.
Which is bad news for Patreon growth this month! We’ll just have to make up for it next month I guess.
So to salvage this major fuck up, we’re going to start releasing public downloadable versions and leave HTML5 versions for final releases (if they work).
Here’s our reasoning.
- It takes too fucking long to do all things mentioned previously.
- We have some big changes coming to Chapter 2 which will probably break the browser version more anyway.
- With the current amount of time I have, it doesn’t make sense to keep supporting something that is going to break frequently.
- We need more sexy pictures! How that relates to this situation I have no idea, I just want more of them.
- And lastly, I’d like to avoid situations where we can’t do a public release thing >_<
Since managing builds is no longer a problem, we’re releasing the public downloadable versions of Paizuri University Prologue for PC, Mac and Linux! This version will also be rebuilt using the latest version of the Zurizuri Engine mostly for the better visual novel aesthetic and improvements. So there won’t be anything new and you can expect it very very soon.
This won’t change the current reward structure and any of the patron exclusive content will remain exclusive to patrons.
Hopefully this all makes sense and ya’ll looking forward to what we’ve got coming! ; )
