Version 1.44 The Management Release
Incremental Releases:    

So it's been a pretty cool month. We've got a new full-time writer on the team (Ren), which is awesome. We've also got a new honorary team member (Lilia) helping out too, though we can't afford to pay her at the moment. She's been helping out with fixing bugs, and has some plans to improve some of our older Airell stuff like the surrogacy center.

I've been working a lot with Ren this month, getting her up to speed on our craziness. So far she's been great, and she's already got a bunch of new stuff we didn't have time to implement this month. She helped a lot with expanding our daily job content, which adds more variety to all the random things that can happen during your day at work. It covers all the jobs too, usually more than doubling the number of daily events.

The other big thing this month is updating how we handle game resources. The old resources file setup worked, but it was just getting too big to make you re-download everything with each new game release. So now we've split the resources into two parts. A semi-permanent download once file, and then a much smaller resources file that will be updated with each new release. On top of that, we've improved our image compression scheme, so we've cut the overall size of the resources by 25% as well. Hopefully this'll be a little easier on everyone's bandwidth. (instructions here)

Of course, there's also hucow stuff and more. It's been a bit of a crazy month, but you can't make a better bone pile without breaking a few eroliches. Seriously though, I'm really optimistic about how things are going. More people = more AW and more we're able to do. So thanks to everyone who's been supporting us, cause paying people wouldn't be possible otherwise. I hope you enjoy this new release!
