Hail Dicktator 0.60 Preview #1 and News

Added 2023-09-26 09:40:40 +0000 UTC

This version is well on the way and will release on Friday in one week (Oct 6th). While MC is preparing for the mission, things at the Organization base get more and more dicey for Nyx. At the same time, there is still a certain 'Duo' that needs to be handled...

Unfortunately, the extra week didn't really help me to catch up. It was starting out really productive until the people responsible at Unity decided to collectively lose their mind. Just the thought of having a potential success from all the hard work taken away from you was crushing.

I've spent a few days doom-scrolling the forums and reddit, looking at different engines, and consolidating my plans going forward. It is to late to switch engines for my side project, now just being weeks away from a demo. Switching would likely take more than a year. With all my hard work of the last years being a potential waste of time, I couldn't get much actual work done.

Finally, a few days ago, they backtracked a lot of the worst things, so there is no more immediate danger. However, the trust is completely lost, and I will likely start porting should one of my currently released or future projects be successful. I will be extra careful, especially since the people who displayed this incredible incompetency have not been fired, yet.

Talking on discord and reading your comments helped a lot, so thank you all for that. I also made some plans with friends to use the framework I made for their own projects, and there will be news about that soon (around the end of October likely).

Meanwhile, my plans to get ahead and get some extra hours in for my side project D-Sim didn't really work as planned. There is still a lot of progress, just not as much as I wanted, so I will likely need another week after this release. I'm so very close to a first demo, and as soon as that enters the polishing phase. I will start releasing more previews and pictures, as well as do an AMA about it (though you can already ask me anything you like on here or discord).

Thank you all so much for your support,
