Progress Sneak Peek - November 1


Hello everyone and welcome to a new sneak peek of Lucky Paradox!

It has been an extremely hard and exhausting week, with 14-hour workdays, a lot to do and dozens of small details to fix.

If I must be honest, I'm depressed that I wasn't able to finish the Halloween update during the month of October, I liked the idea of it being a thematic update, but I didn't feel safe releasing an update with cut content and too many bugs due to the lack of testing. I wanted to have a big update ready with a lot of things to enjoy, as well as adding story content and a few extras.

In terms of amount of content, it is the biggest update of all that make up the 0.7 version, which has also required more renders and art than usual, plus variations and aesthetic changes in the characters.

But what progress has been made during this week?

More than 450 renders have been finished, which are necessary for the new events that will arrive in this update.

Nearly 80 images have been added, distributed among interface elements, costume variations and environments.

Two new original music themes have also been finalized and will be part of the soundtrack, which in total will be 3 new music themes.

And finally, a lot of work in the code, since it is necessary to finalize some functions of the calendar system to ensure that the special events work smoothly.

If I need to explain it, the special events are conditioned to the time of the year (within the game), the player's progress and the progress with the characters, it has been necessary a lot of testing time to make sure that this new feature does not hinder the gameplay. It would be a torture to be in a specific place, on a specific day of the week at a specific time to "activate" content, so I want this process to be automatic and "flow" naturally with what the player is doing. Getting this right is harder than you think. Plus a list of hints to know what content is available and how to progress.

On Sunday (Halloween Day), I decided to take a break because with so many hours of work I was feeling burnt out, this was the only day I took off during the whole month, so it helped me to recover a lot of sleep hahaha

Although the month of October is already over, my focus is to have a quality update ready very soon. It's a pity that the Halloween content will be a bit out of sync with the actual date, but I already have a better idea of how to approach the Christmas update, as well as being less ambitious in the amount of content.

I feel it is necessary to apologize for this delay.

Without further ado, I send you a hug from afar and wish you a beautiful week <3

See you soon with more news!

Are you planning to include pregnancy ?

If the rest of the game is anything to go by then any amount of waiting would be worth it, take your time and release the update whenever you feel comfortable doing so

as much as i want the next update to release (mainly so i can download and play from the beginning on my pc) your health comes first. if u need to take breaks, take them. the quality of this game is already far above most of whats available so im more than willing to wait till the next update comes out. it would be nice to have an estimated date, something like an idea of when to expect it, but aside from that I have no complaints. If its pushed back for whatever reason thats cool too, so long as u and ur team are doing what u can for urselves as well as the game. ur health is paramount here man, so take care of that before u burn urself out. be easy man, cant wait to see what u got in store for us

Stawer, don't work yourself to death here. We love the content, and we absolutely appreciate your updates and your work ethic, but if you're working 14+ hours a day, you've gotta sit back a bit. The last thing we want is for you to keel over from exhaustion and/or burnout. Promise us that you'll take some time for yourself and not overdo it, okay? Maybe I'm over-reacting a bit, but yeah- just please take it easy sometimes.


Rock on.

i'm always willing to wait as long as it takes for quality content :D I haven't seen many who dedicate that much time! I love the passion and the hard work you put into everything it will make the wait that much more special when it hits<3

We all appreciate the work you are doing, and the game has been amazing thus far. Take care of yourself. Would love to help out in any way I can.

I don't personally mind that the update wasn't finished in time for halloween. I would rather wait for a good update than a rushed one full of bugs and bad writing. If the new content is as good as you say, it will be well worth the wait. Keep up the good work, but don't let health suffer from the workload. Take a few days to relax if you need to, an update to a game isn't worth it if your health suffers.
