HHR 0.2 in about a week!
Added 2025-06-04 14:50:49 +0000 UTCAlright folks, after numerous delays, we're finally, finally getting really close to HHR update 0.2's release and the end of all these delays!
Right now, my plan is to have HHR 0.2 ready by the 9th of this month for patrons, or in about 5 days. There's only 1 short scene and a little more sandbox stuff to set up and some polish and debugging to do, which I hope we can wrap up by the end of this upcoming weekend.
I promised GoV 0.7 for the 15th and expect that I'll need at least 4-5 days to complete that GoV update, so next week is basically reserved for GoV work.
While HHR is now at a point where even 1 week more time could make a notable difference in terms of additional content, squeezing any more content into HHR 0.2 would basically require me to delay it by 2 weeks due to GoV 0.7, which I feel would be too long.
So instead of delaying HHR 0.2 any further, I plan to release 0.2 with the scenes I can get done by the 8th, and follow up quickly with a content-focused 0.3.
And when I say quickly, I mean within 3 weeks after 0.2, or by the end of this month.
That's right, starting with HHR 0.3, I plan to update the game every 3 weeks.
I know some people prefer big updates, but the issue here is that those who prefer bigger updates can still just skip every other update, while those who prefer frequent updates would be left out in the cold if we kept this "when it's done" approach.
The advantage of smaller but more frequent releases is also that they basically serve as proof-of-work and progress reports as well, so I won't have to write posts like this one anymore, at least not as often or as big.
Additionally, mirroring what we do with GoV on SubStar, those of you who only care about early access to HHR updates and not GoV, can now join the restored $3.50 Level 2 tier, which will grant full immediate early access to new HHR updates, starting with HHR 0.2.
Joining the Level 3 tier will now only be necessary if you want early access to updates of both games, or if you care about side benefits like higher voting power.
That's all for now, but more coming very soon.
Stay tuned.
