Leaving the ghetto behind... (Almost).
Added 2014-11-18 06:14:49 +0000 UTCHi, guys. Videos are great and all, but here is a quick recap. I am leaving for Rostov-on-Don in an hour, along with the first batch of my stuff. I am adding music and sounds to the game. One short scene is still missing from the game. All the extra (behind the scenes and making off) materials are still missing from the game. When I say that those are the only things that are missing from the game I don't take into account those additional sub-quests we were supposed to be adding with DAHR. There is a possibility that we will cancel the whole sub-quests thing in favor of sooner release. I am not putting this up for a vote because this is a decision I will have to make myself. Also we reached $7000 and PayPal already contacted me about filling out my TAX forms. Still all this is very exciting but I can't get carried away. Task at hand is the move and "HT" release. Then we'll see... http://youtu.be/3-C4f65WglM

I know, I know. And if anything you have all the right to "pressure me" as much as you want. The cold truth is the game is "ready when it's ready" and I can't change that.

2014-11-23 17:30:19 +0000 UTCSorry. I didn't get that it is "almost" ready. Didn't mean to press you. I was just curious.

2014-11-21 19:53:13 +0000 UTCYeah... He were supposed to illustrate all the sub-quests. May still happen...
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:58:48 +0000 UTCDamn!!! There supposed to be some Danya's art?! You just dropped a moderate bag of salt over my potential wound!

2014-11-21 17:43:17 +0000 UTCHeh... You I couldn't agree more, my friend. And thank you for your support, as usual.
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:22:39 +0000 UTCThanks. You support and trust in my is incredibly encouraging. And ironically that is what pushing me to release the game without the sub-quests. But whatever I decide you may be sure that the game would be worth all this wait! (God, I better be right about this...)
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:21:58 +0000 UTCYes... The sub-quests thing is not 100% decided yet. But there is a possibility that I will cave and release the game without them. Well, we'll see... And thank you.
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:19:48 +0000 UTCThanks. I know it's not a very popular opinion, and that is why I appreciate you sharing it even more.
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:18:55 +0000 UTCThanks, Dorago. Dammit, I can't keep up with your pledges, guys. But I am trying. I mean I did actually move 0_0 And it is all thanks to you.
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:18:11 +0000 UTCYeah... There is a possibility that the sub-quests will get cut in favor of sooner release. Although they are not terribly time consuming because they will have very little text... (mostly DHAR's art).
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:16:49 +0000 UTCGame is almost ready... And I've been saying this for two months now I think. I will release it as soon as it's %100 ready. Or as soon as it's 120% ready. Extra 20% being the sub-quests. But since it's completely playable without them, right now it's a 50/50 chance that those sub-quests will get cut.
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:14:20 +0000 UTCProbably... But that's life T_T
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:11:35 +0000 UTCHeh... Yeah... Settling down here little by little... Hope to post a proper vid report soon.
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:11:15 +0000 UTCI couldn't have said better 0_0
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:10:32 +0000 UTCThank you.
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:10:16 +0000 UTCThere are not nearly as many cats here, since it's a big city. But I'm sure I'll be able to track a few later :)
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:09:54 +0000 UTCThank you for the support, Lucas!
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:09:09 +0000 UTCYeah, I know T_T... And thank you, Booky.
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:08:25 +0000 UTCThanks.
AKAMAN
2014-11-21 17:07:07 +0000 UTCCongratulations!!! Maybe you can go for release without sub-quests, but leave them for update, of GOLD edition some day, if they so time consuming to add now? P.S. If all will go as planned, i'll have good rise of income soon, and definitely will throw a little more adequate sums of money your way. Just keep doing awesome stuff! )
Nitrat
2014-11-20 20:47:10 +0000 UTCCongratulations on 7k. But I do have a question tho ... You said you will release the game and maybe leave the subquest out. So how much of the game is roughly done and at how much will it be released? 80%? Great job so far. Keep it up. :)
Fredinator
2014-11-19 16:22:58 +0000 UTCYeah, thank man.
AKAMAN
2014-11-19 04:55:52 +0000 UTCI'm sure the cats will miss you
Sodajuice
2014-11-19 01:20:11 +0000 UTCI'm giddy as a school girl for the release. Also, hope the move goes really well and you don't lose anything! Enjoy the new and better abode!

2014-11-19 00:25:28 +0000 UTCCongrats Akabur :D You have levelled up your domain!

2014-11-18 19:26:37 +0000 UTCI hope you decide to put in the extra stuff with Dahr before you release the game, but whatever you think is best works best for me. Good luck on moving and I hope you'll feel better in your new crib. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

2014-11-18 17:21:43 +0000 UTCGood news all around!! Congrats for your new home, Mr. A, and thank you for your efforts with HT!

2014-11-18 15:20:19 +0000 UTCCongrats on leaving the ghetto! Though I hope you'll find new cats to feed - those videos were pretty cute ;-)

2014-11-18 14:39:33 +0000 UTCWould be awesome indeed if it gets in the game at release, not DLC. Having it as gold edition/DLC would probably push it back away to after Magic Shop completion. That's a long time! Willing to wait for a longer release for it to be up instead :D
Hellomellowyellow
2014-11-18 14:30:56 +0000 UTCYeah, not much fun. But living in a bigger city should make many things easier for me. Good art supply stores, art-studios where I could take live drawing and stuff...
AKAMAN
2014-11-18 13:38:44 +0000 UTCThe city cats... Heh...
AKAMAN
2014-11-18 13:35:34 +0000 UTCOnly 2+ hours actually. That makes the whole thing way less stressful for me then it could have been.
AKAMAN
2014-11-18 13:34:12 +0000 UTCCongratz bro, you deserve it! Waiting for HT!
Lokyaesir
2014-11-18 12:23:09 +0000 UTCI don't think the sub-quests and all that go with it will be wasted, he (or they) could keep it for a latter update or it can be material for a "gold edition". In any case I'm really looking forward to play this game ! And Akabur, congrats for your moving and good luck it will be a lot of work ;)

2014-11-18 11:56:32 +0000 UTCBreak a leg, this is going stellar , I am really happy for you, to think we used to send you paypal donations so you could get new pants, this makes me all soft inside. You show progress in the game, therefor you dont need to hurry with it

2014-11-18 11:41:17 +0000 UTCIt's allways cool to have news from you, it's cool you can move, I hope there will be no fire there ^^ About the game, the music sound great, about the sub quest, personaly, I'm ready to wait a bit more, it would be sad that your and Dahr work go to waste. And be prepared, soon, YOU WILL BE OVER 9000 !!! :D
Dorago
2014-11-18 08:51:22 +0000 UTCGood luck moving m8. Good to hear you'll be safer.

2014-11-18 08:31:45 +0000 UTCWow, congrats on 7,000 man. Now that's proof people like your work. Good luck with the move, glad to hear you decided to go ahead and move.

2014-11-18 08:00:37 +0000 UTCTake all the time you need getting settled into your new apartment, uprooting your life is stressful enough as it is. Hope you enjoy your new place.
Venture
2014-11-18 08:00:24 +0000 UTCYour moving and the HT have something in common, both are difficult at first both once everything is set and done you will be happy. About the content you will make the best decision, so no worries about that. Tax are bothersome, but try to fullfill everything, no one want to have problems^^ Best of lucks with the move and we are all happy for you.

2014-11-18 07:19:07 +0000 UTCCongrats on the success! Think of the possibilities. You have a whole new city of stray cats to feed. ;)
