Patreon is slow...
Currently, the Patreon API is super slow for some reason. Some requests take up to 7 times longer than usual. Since Patreon sends data so slowly, some account updates might time out. I will implement a fix that circumvents that issue, if Patreon doesn't fix their API in the next few days.
If you are affected (e.g., if you are a subscriber but the platform says that you have no tier), simp...

Huff, this has been two rough months, and I'm a bit nervous, because this version again includes a lot of foundational changes.
You will need to create a Gain of Life account here. Then, you must connect your Patreon account to your Gain of Life account to import your subscription. From then on, your Patreon subscription ...
2024-10-23 09:57:50 +0000 UTC View PostBringing Gain of Life to iOS
Apple was sued in the European Union and judged guilty of its AppStore monopoly. Thus, Apple was forced to open its doors to 3rd party publishers.
Unfortunately, Apple was too selfish to open its doors to everyone around the globe and only made third-party app stores possible within the European Union. So, a possible iOS version of the game would only be accessible if you own an Apple dev...

After years of development and this Patreon, it is time for the first changes ever to the model on Patreon.
The changes I am implementing will provide stability for the next few years and ensure a consistent experience, just like the old tiers did. With these changes, I hope to increase the value and comfort of the Patreon, not the prices. So you can expect to contin...

I made massive changes to the game's fundamental structure during September. All of them are potentially game-breaking and took this entire month to implement.
Preparation for the new image generation engine
In the meantime, the cloud services for the image generation engine are already up and running, but the game is not yet connected to them. The first tests with the image gener...

Regrettably, I won't be able to provide an update in June as planned. Despite my efforts to meet the end-of-June deadline, I've had to push the work I did in June into July.
I can report steady progress with the new character window, though. The first test runs went splendidly, and I am now working to create interfaces to make it connectable to other applications and integrate them into G...

The new version will be released within the next 24 hours, so don't worry.
This month's version encountered a few unexpected hurdles. GitLab introduced disruptive changes to pipelines, affecting GoL's pipelines. However, I identified and resolved this issue within a day. I hope this does not go on like that because the idea of the automatic game distribution is to save...

The past days/weeks I have been focusing on the character rendering engine again. If you are already familiar with what I'm talking about, I'm sorry, but the first part of the text will probably be boring for you then.

I owe you an update, here it is:
I cut my hand so deeply while cooking that I also cut one of my finger's nerves. I went to hospital and they did surgery on my hand to put the nerve back together so I don't lose the ability to feel on the index finger permanently.
I am unable to use my left hand (because it's wrapped) and thus a keyboard. If you wonder how I wrote this message: dict...
