—Hello again proggers—

Sooooo. Completely forgot about devlogs. I'm sorrryyyy. Went 3 times over the limit this round, a whopping 30 hours. In my defense, a lot actually got done.

10 hour limit times 3, we are truly speedrunning burnout at this point

Cat or dog? v6.1.0-pending

Okay let's get into it~

—Yap—

Big status update this round: 6.1.0's changes are ready for deployment (Mac excluded again since it's not LTS), planning's locked in for the next round of reworks landing in 7.0.0, and the CHASER album world is genuinely close to done.

—The Great Suffering—

1 — 6.1.0, Ready For Deployment

The full feature set from devlogs #48 through #58 and beyond is ready to ship. Same Mac exclusion as always, since this is a minor and not an LTS release.

2 — Planning The Third Shared Play + Streamer Queue Rework

Next up after 6.1.0: a third rework of shared play and Streamer Queue, this time focused on actually making it look nice, with proper OG tags and Twitter cards, the works. Building on the shared play work all the way back from devlog #9.

3 — Ward System Integration Planned

New integration coming with ward.deltavdevs.com for things like login and cloud persistence. Not a required feature, but recommended once it lands. Slated for 7.0.0 alongside the shared play/queue rework.

4 — 5 Of 6 CHASER Songs, Mapped Out

Lyrics mapped out for 5 of the 6 songs in the CHASER album world, following the planning that started back in devlog #54 and the ACT RIGHT work in devlog #60. One song left to map.

5 — The Album World Is Ready For Linking

The CHASER world itself is fully ready and OK to link now. Major milestone after the camera fight in #57, the fixes in #58, and the state handling issues from #60.

from "might have to be dropped" in devlog #57 to "ready to link" in #61, that's a real arc

—FAQ (no one asked these but they are here)—

Q: What is a "progger"?
A: A human programmer. You. The one who just tripled a 10 hour session limit and still delivered.

Q: Is 7.0.0 the shared play/Streamer Queue rework release?
A: Yes, that plus the Ward system integration, both slated for it.

Q: What's the Ward system for?
A: Login and cloud persistence, among other things. Optional but recommended once available.

Q: Is CHASER done now?
A: The world itself is ready for linking; one song's lyrics are still left to map out.

Q: Is Mac getting 6.1.0?
A: No, still LTS-only for now, but 7.0.0's coming its way.

—This is the end*—

*end for now, session limits (tripled) permitting

PROGRAM!!!
