Dev Status Update (Patreon)

Hi all. Just a quick update on the current Innkeep dev status. The last month has been pretty busy for me as I painted my new house and moved all of me and my partners worldly possessions into it. I capped off the process by spilling liquid into the guts of my laptop and frying it, with the latest versions of my game and image files on the hard drive! 

On the positive side, this was a good excuse to finally upgrade to a proper desktop PC, after years in the wilderness using laptops (I was overseas for seven years and it made sense at the time). With a PC, I can finally do some cool stuff like streaming development sessions. It also just generally makes life easier when working on large image files, opening multiple files, etc.

In a week or so some friends and I will be getting together and LANing it up, and I'll be getting a techy guy there to rescue my old hard drive then so that I can grab my latest work files. This is happening alongside things starting to settle down on the home front, so I should be finally able to start doing some regular dev work then. 

As Innkeep is a part time affair, and I sometimes have to go all hands on deck to deal with deadlines coming from my main job etc., work does tend to crawl to a stop for months at a time during the year. That pattern is going to continue for another year at least, unfortunately. However if my past record shows anything its that I always come back. This game is going to get done. Eventually. Somehow! 

Meanwhile, plans are afoot for next year, where I just might be able to swing into full time development for a while to push it out the door. Lets see where that goes.

All the best, and see you in a few weeks.
