What's going on

I'm not totally sure where to start here.

I haven't been able to work on LEWD much lately. I planned to get a beta release done this year, which seemed like an easy goal at the time since the vast majority of the engine is done and I just need to touch up and rewrite some content. By beta release, that is to say to transition ...

More fixes to Patreon linking to LEWD account

I made a number of fixes here:

-Fixed a time mismatch between my servers that could create the original issue that was causing people to not be able to link accounts
-Decreased timeout time when there is a problem.
-Fixed an issue where it wouldn't correctly re-lookup new pledges when they aren't initially found, and tha...

Will likely be gone for a few days/weeks due to hurricane Irma

My power is currently out and I don't know when it'll come back on. It's taken 2 weeks for it to come back after previous hurricanes... So yeah. Don't worry I'm safe, and so are backups. I just have no way to work on the game right now.

edit: Everything is okay. ^^ My power wasn't out too long. I've just needed to c...

Account linking should be working now

You should be able to link your Patreon account to your LEWD account by entering your Patreon account email address at http://www.playlewd.com/account once again.

That will give you test server access as long as you have an active pledge and confirmed paym...

Can't get account linker up this month due to issues beyond my control. Going to suspend reoccuring billing again this month

I'm having issues with getting Patreon's API to do all the things I could do with my bot and it takes a while for their support to get back to me.  Their API doesn't seem to be very well documented.. :(

Since people still can't link accounts and this is holding things back, I'll sadly need to suspend the Patreon again thi...

Won't be doing monthly charges for this month. And... oof, account linking isn't working

So firstly, account linking is broken at the moment. It wasn't something I can fix quickly.
Patreon's API lacks features needed to fulfill pledges for LEWD, namely that you can't use it to get *past* pledges but only current ones. Which means if someone paid money, but then canceled their pledge, to the Patreon API they no lo...

Patreon-LEWD Account linking should be working again

Let me know if you still have problems.  Sorry about that!

Looks like the server had gone down for some maintenance with my provider, which happens every few years. ^^  I'll remind myself to get those services auto-restarting in the future.

Small hotfix

I fixed a server crash bug and a bug where you couldn't move around or anything which prevented interacting with any content outside of the scenario when you first enter the game.  Game should be playable now.

No Patron charges for the end of this month

Hey everyone.  Like I alluded to earlier, I was going to suspend the monthly charges that Patreon does to you guys for one of these months. That'll be this one.  I've been setting up my new computer and had other things going on, and just couldn't hardly get anything done with LEWD this month.

Since I couldn't get mu...

Servers back up

Had some issue to fix, but it should be good now.

Hotfix

I noticed the main server was crashing.  I put up a hotfix that will stop the crash, but there could still be a lingering issue that causes someone to get stuck instead. Please report this if it happens, though I added some debugging logging that may find it just as people play as well.

It's been too long since I've given an update

Hey, everyone.

I would have liked to have a significant update out by now, but there's been things getting in the way of me completing what was planned.
I've gotten a few things done that I'm waiting to post in the update notes when I finish the update, but not nearly as much as I should have the past 6 weeks. It's definite...

Test server will be down intermittently over the next few days

While most updates to the game can be done without taking it down, I need to make some core engine changes to implement seamless reconnects which requires taking the server down as I update and investigate how things are working with said updates.

I don't know exactly how long it'll do to complete these updates, but a few days...

A small site update

In addition to getting the game polished up more for the Alpha3 release, I've been working on polishing up the site itself better.

One thing that's been pointed out a few times, is that the old dev tracker page &...

What we're currently working on

Hey everyone!
There hasn't been an update on the game for a while (I mentioned earlier that there wouldn't be much going on until a bit after the holidays were over), and since we're just now getting back to work on it more heavily, the next update will take a bit.

Yeah, this is long. Lots to go over!

As for myself, I...

Another heads up: This December will be a slow month

I know I mentioned it in the previous update, but I thought I should reiterate in its own update.

The holidays have been super busy for me, and I needed a bit of a break.  Our writer has been adding a bit here and there, but he's busy with holidays as well.

A very significant update should get finished up and come l...

Dev Tools update

View this update in more detail, with images and a list of update notes 

Sorry it's been a while. The past few months have obviously been slower development than before.  Having another writer would help, but we are chipping away and working ...

Some delays

I'd have liked to have update notes out on what I've been working on and I'm almost finished with, but I don't know.  It was hard not to read all the salt about the recent election the past few days, tbh. It was really distracting.

I should have something in a few days still, though, but since it's been a few weeks I want...

Working on dev tools improvements

There's not going to be any major client updates until next month. That said, there has been a lot more content added to the test server since the last major update, which you can see on the Dev Tracker.

There are some performance issues with the dev ...

I need help seeing if there is still a bug with clothing

 Hey everyone.  I had reports of something happening before where text would seemingly be describing your character as nude, except it'd describe their body part as clothing-covered.

I think that's fixed now, but if anyone can can you play through on the 2016-10-21 04:05:49 +0000 UTC View Post

I may be gone a few days. Afterward, I’ll be taking the Test Server down and applying changes to it

Intermediate Update – LEWD no longer requires WebGL, and changes to writing contract

This isn’t the Alpha3 release yet, but I wanted to release this part of the update early as it now makes the game playable for those that don’t have a computer or browser good enough to support WebGL.

It should start with the fallback CSS3D renderer and automatically switch to WebGL if you have support for it. And you can ...
