Programmer Status Report

For the past 2 months, we've been prioritizing foundational work on Subeta v2, as well as re-implementing the Custom Wearables system in v2 with significant improvements. This work has taken nearly 100% of our focus; the good news is that we're on track to finish it by mid-December! Bugfixes (and other work) have been mostly on hold while we work on this; once it's completed, that will free up bandwidth for other things again.

Our priorities after that will be:

☕ Hair Salon! This will be our first priority! We've spent months playing whack-a-mole with the Hair Salon this year; fix one issue, and another pops up. Our plan now is to rewrite major parts of the code behind this, taking what we've learned from these issues to replace the current code with code that's robust, well-designed - and free of the current Hair Salon's endless bugs! We're aiming to complete this work by February.

☕ Planned Cash Shop Subscriptions features: that is, adding the ability to change payment methods, upgrade, and downgrade subscriptions without needing to cancel and re-subscribe. We are hoping to completely this work by some time in January :)

☕ Pet Profiles v2 - We haven't forgotten our promise for the new Pet Profiles system; after we've finished the two goals above, pet profiles will move into priority again. It is too early to give a timeline for completing this, but I'm looking forward to resuming work on it! There are so many cool new features planned for this, you will love it :)

While I have your attention, here are a few mini updates regarding various bugfixes, bug reports, planned features, etc:

☕ Site Layout-related Bug Reports These are not going to be fixed anymore, since we are working on a new site layout - so it doesn't make sense to spend time fixing the current one. (The only exception is if some new error occurs that makes the site unusable.)

☕ Minigames A few games, like Stargazer, have been glitched or taken temporarily offline. These are still on our radar; most of these need to be coded anew, so we'll rewrite them when we can find the time/resources to do so. No ETA on these; just wanted to mention that we do intend to address these and bring back the ones that have been down!

☕ Broken Avatars / Broken Wardrobe There is a new megathread for if your avatar is a broken image, and/or if the wardrobe is completely broken and unusable for you (like it's just a blank page, an error, etc) - here: Megathread: Broken avatar image, and/or wardrobe completely unusable

☕ Filled Wardrobe Achievement Please see this staff update about the broken Filled Wardrobe achievement if you haven't yet: https://subeta.net/forums.php/gotopost/64976448

☕ Subeta V2 Feedback Forum Have any questions, comments, suggestions, or concerns about the new version of Subeta we are building at new.subeta.net? There is a forum category where you can voice your thoughts here: https://subeta.net/forums.php/forum/2297/ Please be sure to read the stickied post so you're aware of the participation guidelines in that forum.

Finally - you're more than welcome to ask if there's anything not mentioned above that you'd like a staff update on, and we'll answer what we can! However, please be aware that - unfortunately - some answers will be along the lines of "that's on backlog" or "we've had to pivot to something else for now".

All right, that's all for now! I hope everyone is excited for the upcoming changes to the CW system - and for Luminaire!!! <3
