PSA: v0.9.9 on May 27th

Update (May 25th, 2019)

Update (April 24th, 2019)

Originally posted by MZ: If everyone thinks the code is currently in a stable enough state to do a

new release, they could just contact me and I can do a build and upload it

to Steam.



In the past when I did a new release, I would generally spend the last few

weeks leading up to the release *only* fixing bugs and polishing, instead

of introducing any changes that might break things. I wouldn't want to do a

release prematurely and then discover that it had some game-breaking bugs

in it.

Also, I was hoping for 0.9.9 to wrap up the Wanderer story line, but other things keep getting in the way...

All signs point toward an update coming Monday (May 27th). :)The following is an email from MZ to Comnom, who inquired about the status of the next update.Given this, we're currently putting finishing touches on the update and plan on asking MZ to make the new release in the coming weeks. Reminder that v0.9.9, as with all other odd releases since v0.9.1, is considered an unstable updated, meaning you will need to be on the beta branch in order to play it. v0.9.10 will be a stable release and should come out roughly a month after v0.9.9, bringing mainly bug fixes.Once the release is out, this thread will be locked and a new thread will be pinned asking for update feedback.Kiko and I have been getting a number of private messages asking whether this game is still being developed, and I have noticed a few comments on the v0.9.8 news update as well. Given the fact that the time since v0.9.8 has been the longest time of any update cycle (213 days since the release of v0.9.8 as of the posting of this thread vs the previous longest time of 149 days from v0.9.6 to v0.9.7), this is understandable that some people would be concerned. Just know that the game is indeed still being developed."What's the hold up, then?" you might ask. We were wondering as well, so when we asked, MZ (the developer) said this:So the reason for the long wait is partly due to MZ being unable to build a Windows version of the update (which I'm sure we could handle for him if needed), but also the fact that real life has gotten in the way of finishing up some of the things that MZ wants to add this coming update. Remember, developing this game is just a hobby for MZ and the rest of us, so situations like this are (sadly) to be expected.If you have any further questions on the matter, go ahead and ask below.
