Quick Left Hand Magic Status Update
🕑 Added 2022-03-05 09:57:13 +0000 UTCOkay, this should be the last progress report needed unless something goes critically wrong. Despite losing most of an entire day to dealing with issues caused by my state government being complete dipshits and nearly making me lose my medical coverage as a result...I'm actually almost exactly on track with my prediction of when I'd be done.
As of writing this, all code (minus some minor edits) is complete. All content written. And within another hour or two I'll have all the editing done as well. Essentially, all that remains is the need to test and bugfix everything. That said, I will warn that the test/bugfix portion is the one bit I had no idea how long it would take. Left Hand Magic has by FAR the most complicated code base of any of my games. As such, testing and bug squishing is a lot less predictable in how much time it will take. That won't remain the case forever, but so early on in building up the whole game's framework, I'm still working with a lot of new/freshly written code blocks. And I just don't have a good feel for how long the testing/bugfix process takes for this game yet.
Ideally, if the bugs aren't too thick on the ground or complicated to fix, I may be done and uploading before midnight tonight (the 5th). Even in the event of it being worse than that, short of some sort of catastrophic failure, I would expect the build to be out by the evening of the 6th. So...yay? Late, but not horrifically so...and the new hardware upgrades should hopefully prevent this from happening again.
On a side note, despite most of my time being spent on Left Hand Magic, I haven't been completely idle with other rewards. I've gotten the wallpapers pretty much done (still tweaking the render settings on the NSFW one), and I've done some critical planning for the Haven's Port scenes, as well as creating a new character needed. Barring any new issues springing up, I'm expecting to be able to get a full build of Haven's Port in this month, despite the overrun of Left Hand Magic.
