I’m afraid that ComFleet III is taking me way longer than I expected it to take. I mentioned in the last update that I expected the game to be released in June, due to how quickly I was able to make a functioning shop system. Now, I think the game will likely be released in late June at the earliest. I’ve been on and off with the project and all I have gotten done since my last update is some Virtua pedia pages, randomized news, and even a small mini-quest that I hid in the news. I even attempted to make a save feature (thanks for requesting that JimothyJohnJr), but I haven’t managed to come up with a way yet. I had an idea of writing the variables of the game into a text file, but that would delay the game greatly because there are TONS of variables littering the game, whether it be the fleet name, difficulty, the 128 variables used to generate the galaxy, or just a random variable that says that this is a quest would be extremely difficult for me to put into another file at my programming skill level.

Besides finishing the things I’ve started, there are tons of things I still need to get started on such as removing bugs, pirate travelling A.I, sidequests, bug effects, unlockable codes, make black holes dangerous, and so much more features that still need to get started on. I’m hoping that this game isn’t delayed anymore, and I hope I can get this game done sometime in July at the very latest. May flew by like a breeze, and my progress was very little so July is the latest date I can think of. I hope I can release the game sometime in June, but I am beginning to have my doubts.

Also, take into account that I have a life besides programming to attend to. I am going to be moving soon and I still have my freshman year to finish. I am working on this game on a laptop, so moving shouldn’t stop me too much, but I still have responsibilities outside my dark programming cave.

Phew, that was a looooong update I had to get off my chest.

I hope that you guys still keep faith in this project though there are possibilites of delay. Thanks for supporting ComFleet III!
