So over these past few weeks a bunch of cute little gypsy children have been trying to get into my house by breaking some windows and even a door. Furthermore, their father actually threatened to vandalize the rest of the house himself when I brought the matter to his attention. They're actually my lovely neighbors and this has been an ongoing thing for some time but police say they can't do anything because there is no proof. Funny part is, I can't record the children doing these things because then I'd be the one going to jail, since recording children without their parents' permission is illegal in my country.
Several neighborhoods in my town are being vandalized and harassed in this way by gypsies. Police say they're doing this to buy property well below market price, which they've been doing for the last 30 years in my town, only now it's getting worse. Apparently however there is no law against this, so it's all fine.
Anyway, as for the poll, I can gather so far that new systems and features should probably be the focus for a while longer. Some vital planned features require more content however, so I'll try to put some effort on that as well. Nonetheless, since "New or expanded features" is pretty vague, I'll set up a new poll at some point with more specific kinds of features to get a better idea of what you really want.
So far however, since the last release and partly because of these events, I've been basically taking a break. If I learned something from the previous over-a-year-long release is that forcing yourself to do at least some work every day ends up working against your productivity in the long run.
I'll probably resume development before this year is over, but bear with me for a little while here.
Hope the situation with the vandals is resolved soon. I can't imagine how frustrating that would be. Have you considered a security camera or maybe a home security system? Might be more trouble than it's worth to mess with something like that though. At any rate, good luck! I think the new version will tide everyone over through the holidays! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good wishes! It's rather frustrating but at least they allowed me to enjoy this little break more or less peacefully.
DeleteI've been getting some interesting ideas during this time that I'm looking forward to develop inside the game, but so far they only exist as chaotic diagrams and shorthand notes scattered all over the place.
