Greetings everyone,
This month the release of GearCity v2.0.0.9 and GearCity: 2nd Gear v2.1.0.1 slightly slowed progress on AeroMogul. I've also had some health and offline issues that have knocked me completely off the computer during working hours for more than I would have lik...

Greetings Everyone,
I've gotten a few hours of work into AeroMogul since GearCity: 2nd Gear's launch. Although, I've been putting Mondays and Tuesdays into GearCity recently as I am falling a little behind on bugs.
As previously mentioned, the game now efficiently processes and cach...
Greetings Everyone!
As you may have heard, we launched GearCity: 2nd Gear last month. The launch was a little rocky, some features I don't use went untested, resulting in some instability. I resolved those fairly quickly, but additional fixes to smaller issues caused some larger issues. In...
Greetings Everyone!
After two months of work, GearCity FBS Milestone #1 is complete! I finished 16 of the 17 funded items. The only unfinished item was a self-funded game launcher that I have temporarily postponed.
The first release of GearCity: 2nd Gear is version 2.1.0.0. Remember, ...

If you missed it, the new GearCity DLC is named "GearCity: 2nd Gear." I'm in the process of putting the final touches on it now. Only 2 more bounties remain, emissions and rebalancing aircraft engine requirements based on a couple of books I obtained for AeroM...

Milestone #1 will reach 100% funded by February 2nd, if not sooner. So it is time to caucus, lobby, and discuss what you want to fund. The system works off popular vote, so it might be a good idea to rally behind what you want to get it approved. 2023-01-25 23:19:20 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello everyone!
I've recently finished v0.0.2 of AeroMogul.
Since the last update, the game now loads all the world's airports. However, I will still need to curate and edit the airport's data. I have also implemented the initial UI for the advanced s...

We raised $304.46 over the last month. We currently have $2224.46 in milestone funds. With four months remaining, we need to raise $775.54 before the deadline. That's only $193.88 per month. If our Patreon remains constant, we should be able to do it.

First, I would like to apologize for how late this post is. Over the last month, I've been in and out of doctor's offices and hospitals. (No reason for any concern.) That's eaten up quite a bit of my time because programming isn't something you can start in the morning,...
