Progress Report #1 (new style) - Future Fragments

Starting over at #1 for the progress reports because with the new image setup, it'll be a lot  less confusing if people are trying to find image versions of the previous reports, but they don't exist, etc.

It's another cross collaboration post, this time with Quickie: A Love Hotel Story!

Hey, so it's been a while since we've done one of these; an update post is coming next week, and we'll start with the bi-weekly updates from then on, we've actually gotten quite a good amount of content done too!

That said, the cross collaboration post this time is for Quickie: A Love Hotel Story by Oppai Games!

(Future Fragments) Just a reminder

We post updates pretty frequently to the Discord over at https://discord.gg/puXrfSm if you're wanting to keep up with progress on Future Fragments!

The reason we don't post updates here that often is because every time we post here, all the backers get an email notification about it, so instead of posting every 2-3 days an...

Note about weekly progress updates

Over the last few weeks I realized that posting every week kind of comes off as repetitive/pointless when a lot of the current stuff we're working on is big, bulky stuff (True Final Boss, Databanks/Cutscenes, etc.)

So as a result, starting April 2nd, I'm going to start posting the updates biweekly instead, so then we can do a nice, big post each time, instead of weekly po...

(Future Fragments) Weekly Progress Update #4

Well, honestly, this may not come as much of a surprise, but we've been doing basically the same thing we've been doing the last two weeks;

  • True Final Boss programming stuff
  • Databank / writing stuff
  • Art stuff for True Final Boss
  • Bugtesting

However, next week I should finally have an actual template for these updates and databanks SHOULD be done...

(Future Fragments) About the $10 reward tier

Since we've delayed the game until Spring/Summer 2021, we've decided to also delay the cutoff for the $10 background name reward.

So you've now got until the end of April to pledge to that reward, at which point it will become just an extra support tier.

Update Post Day Change + some music!

We're going to change the weekly update post to Fridays instead, so then we can have "Future Fragments Fridays"!

Look forward to the post then!

In the meantime, here's the mastered version of the song for the first phase of the True Final Boss fight, "Humanity's Future"!

There's another 10 songs left for that battle to master, although most of them we won'...

(Future Fragments) Weekly Progress Report #1

So here's the first weekly report; we'll be keeping these up until the game's complete between Spring to Summer 2021.

These will just be short reports detailing what's been done with each portion of the game's content.

These will be somewhat sparse for the next week or two as each of us are fairly focused on a single thing for the rest of the month, so there's not r...

(Future Fragments) Delay on the Demo AND the Full Game, important post

So for a quick note, we'll be delaying this month's demo until February 3rd at midnight because we really, really want to get all the Powerups in for this demo, and Frouge needs the extra day or two to finish them off. (Remember, there's 50 of them!)

If you pledged $5 in January, you'll still get the demo even if you don't continue your pledge through to...

Regarding pricing in different regions for the final release of Future Fragments

One more thing for today; many of you here are from places besides America, with some of those places having lower average rates of income when converted into USD, which would likely make purchasing (or pledging) $20 USD to get the full game something that'd be very unfairly priced for your region.

So I wanted to make it clear that the Steam release for Future Fragments will be pr...

Notification of $10 Backer Reward availability shutting down

Due to the work it'll take to get the $10 backer names in the game at this point, similar to when we shut down the Databank tier, we're going to have to cut off the "get your name in the background" reward for the $10 tier in a staggered schedule.

All pledges happening AFTER the end of February will not be eligible for the $10 "name in background" reward.

(Future Fragments) Poll about the most recent build and bugs in it

We've gotten a few people saying they can't run v0.48v2 on their computers, and I'm starting to think it's a Windows 10 bug due to some recent update.

If you downloaded v0.48v2, can you answer the poll below? Would help us to know if this is a massive, operating system-wide issue, or if something else is causing it.

About the German Adult Games Ban on Steam

For those who haven't heard, Steam recently decided to enact a full ban on all adult games on Steam for users in Germany, thereby following the AgeID laws in Germany.

Now, for those of you who wanted to get the game on Steam that are from Germany, unfortunately, that means at at launch, you'll likely have to get it on one of the many other platforms we'll be putting the game on (and if yo...

Possible Patreon Messaging System Errors

Patreon has recently done some changes to its messenger system for creators, and uh, it's broken things pretty badly.

Luckily, I'd already started a database of backer rewards/requests years and years ago, so it doesn't affect us for the most part, but if any of you are backing other people, have some sympathy for them if their systems weren't backed up like ours and try to be understandi...

Shouting out another fellow dev!

So a while back, without getting into specifics, I got shortchanged a bit due to clerical error involving some group business stuff. Now, the fault wasn't anyone's; as a group, collectively, we'd missed this error, and so no one was to really specifically blame, wasn't anything malicious or anything like that.

Need your feedback on a potential major bug in the demo

In the demo we just released, v0.48v1 (not any other version!), we'd like to ask if you're having any of the following issues.

  • When you're listening to the main music track in the level (just standing there idle in the hub room), does the music "crackle" or "pop" at times randomly?
  • Does the music "skip" or "stutter" or "freeze", like you're hearing it play,...

(Future Fragments) Clarification on the full game reward + tiers

I'm seeing a number of you switching from the $10 tier to the $20 tier to get the game at launch; just to be clear, you do not have to do this.

The game is a reward at launch for people who've pledged $20 cumulatively, meaning, in total, over time.

So if you're already at the $10 l...
