#Minecraft seasons

Rain Check.

With my Writer's block for NSSS cleared, I've taken some time to think about the path moving forward.

I really want to release more updates to NSSS, but, for now, that means putting a major, promised aspect of 1.1.12 on ice.

Seasons, and all the other goodies I've been cooking up for the next update, will still be coming. But the weather system will be put on hold, at least for a while.

Weather has been the last major part of 1.1.12 that I've been hung up on for a while now, and every time I try to finish the implementation I encounter some major bug that's a pain to quash and all the wind gets taken out of my sails. It's holding me back from finishing the rest of the update, and it's holding me back from starting work on other work that I want to do on NSSS.

So, what can you expect?

Hopefully, more frequent teasers of what's still confirmed of 1.1.12 - Seasons, mostly, but there's a few more seecrets in there ;)

The weather system, particularly dynamic weather, is still a major part of my vision for the future of NSSS - it will still, absolutely, come, but it will be in its own, smaller update, not bundled in with a smorgasbord of other goodies.

Once 1.1.12 is out - which may be a while yet - then 1.1.13 will be arriving much, much sooner. And 1.1.14, and 1.1.15 - and so on. I'd like to return NSSS to a more frequent update cycle - nowhere near has fast as 1.1.3 - 1.1.7, but fast enough that I can push an update, listen for feedback, and then fix or improve things with the next release. A little, often - like firing a steam locomotive.

Novelty is only fun for so long - I won't know for certain if the changes that I make are good ones until I can examine them in the long run. It seems that 1.1.11 ended off on good footing - people are still enjoying it 2 years later - but there's bugs and problems that have materialized over that time which really ought to be smoothed out. It's time to fix 1.1.11_111-1... and I'm all out of ones.

There are also going to be some changes to the patreon. Stuff like playtesting access will probably get removed as a tier perk - I'd like to generalize the patreon from "support my work on NSSS!" to just "support my work!", which will be NSSS in addition to other things. Whatever happens, anyone who has ever gotten a custom name color or cape or particle effect will keep it in perpetuity - they're meant to signify a 'thank you' for throwing money at me, after all! Every dollar, euro, pound, zloty, real, and lira is appreciated.

I need to tidy up the website a bit as well, and the forums are still an unusable mess - if someone knows phpbb theming inside and out and is willing to pitch in, let me know!

"people often ask me this: "Joe, I just drank 8 shots of tequila and I feel like I am about to throw up. And you've had about 17 beers and you're still standing, how?""
