Following some peer pressure (just kidding...), I decided to open up a Patreon page for those who want to help me support the website. I don't intend to make a living out of it, so the goals are set for what the website costs me, and nothing more.
I also wrote my very first post on there, opening with a progress update on Release 19.1.
You can read it here. I even included a little demo video of the new stuff , so be sure to check it out.
I don't have any estimated release date so far, as I've yet to tackle another rehaul of a whole system. Once I get into it, I should be able to give out an estimated release date.
This is just a small message to keep you guys informed.
As I've been busy a lot lately, updates on the website slowed down a bit. You've probably noticed it from the past 3 releases which didn't bring up big features, like the previous releases. Since the website data is in an 'okay' state for now, I moved on to increasing its visibility. According to a few website analyzer tools and Google Seach Analytics, I need to step up my game and fix some issues.
Just letting you guys know that I'm still on it, on a slower pace, and working in the background.
Expect BIG when I get back to work full time on the next module (boss attack patterns )
Here's another preview of what's coming with the new release.
Following some feedbacks I received, I went ahead and added BBCode links to specific regions (Starting Forest, Forgotten Cave, Spectral Cave, etc). Spent a nice 2 hours working on some thumbnails for those (because I didn't have any).
Also, following these new codes is a new feature added to the maps. Selecting to view a region on the map will put some emphasis on it (darkening the unconcerned areas).
Following this idea, I wanted to add options to toggle region visibility (and items too!) with simple controls (which wouldn't require a full reload of the page). This is a work in progress for Release 17.3. I already started a bit by remastering the Item categories completely.
The character page is nearly filled up as well! Thanks to Aerate, I should now have enough material to finish it up. This should be done inbetween Release 17.2 (coming very soon) and the next Release.
Thank you again for your understanding.
The website is still in construction afterall.
