New year, new name, new beginnings!

Some of you might have noticed my ongoing “personal re-branding” of my online persona, the first bit being my new avatar image (PFP) across all the internet platforms and social media, and the second being a name change - Say goodbye to “Elvanos” and hi to “Vishiri”!

Now, you are probably wondering why I am even writing a post about it to begin with since people tend to change their online nicknames all the time: Since I have become a fairly known figure in the world-buildin...

Some good news & some bad news

I was originally planning to write a somewhat positive, lighthearted update regarding the progress of my personal affairs that will likely very soon start spilling over to the FA’s development. However, sadly I need to first address an urgent issues before I get back to the good news.

Patreon is changing its billing model in order to accommodate for Apple’s new billing policies by allowing ONLY a subscription-model for content creators and removing the ability to charge people at th...

Super-early spooooky autumn status update

It has been over half a year since I last posted the last status update concerning both my personal struggles in life and the status of FA in general. This was largely due to the fact of me being extremely busy at my new job along with patching up all kinds of previous issues, problems, financial debts and any such misfortunes that I carried over from the last decade of my life.

All of this effort spent on patching up my life sadly also affected FA's development: I managed to find some ...

Christmas update on FA, my IRL affairs and other news

After a fairly unnecessary long pause from usual updates I finally bring you yet another one; most certainly and totally not caused by my horrible memory and constant postponing!

First of all, I would like to open with some rather excellent news: Both my health and current job have been stable and going well in the last couple months without any significant issues, blunders or problems. However, my work has been a bit more demanding to get settled into than I originally anticipated and ...

State of FA’s development, my personal IRL developments and other similar news

After quite some time of delivering mostly doomful and gloomful news through Discord, Patreon and other news channels with only occasional blips of something positive happening both regarding FA’s rewrite/development, along with things happening in my personal life - I finally have some good news for all of you reading this message!

First, lets get likely the most concerning issues out of the way; one upon which all else hangs on: My long-lasting health issues have improved to the deg...

This version is adding full-page-search similar to what you would normally find a web-browser of any kind when pressing "CTRL+F" and that would instantly allow you jump around the page and quickly find any mentions of the word of na...

An early June update for all those wondering how everything is going!

I finally have some somewhat good news concerning the FA's rewrite progress and my own life, at last, getting back on track! But before we get to the actual good news; a bit of a recap of what happened in the last couple of months - Including the last two Patreon posts:

When I wrote the pre-last update concerning both FA's progress and my own health issues, I was expecting it to be the final one - Little did I know that my health problems would have a pretty serious relapse about two we...

RELEASE - Fantasia Archive 0.1.9

A small-ish update to the program that is meant to drag it a little more into 2022 programming standards with many updates to the internals of it and a few small updates and optimizations that will hopefully make it nicer to use and run a bit better on most people's computers!

An actual update explaining the whole situation as to why there is an update to the older FA version while the 0.1.8 was supposed to be the last one will follow on Patreon either later today or tomorrow; this time...

A long overdue update!

I have some fairly exciting news for y'all along with a fairly short post this time!

After more than half a year of struggling with my health issues, it appears that all has finally been resolved! The final examination (the dreaded colonoscopy) found nothing bad and all other symptoms disappeared more than a month ago, so it is safe to likely say that my health is back to normal!

This means that the development of FA will finally resume properly as I finally have the mental energy...

A slightly delayed New Year's report for ya'all!

I finally have some good (I hope?) news for y'all!

First off, let's get the health issues off the table: They got marginally better! I won't torture you with excruciating details this time around; especially for those wishing to not lose their dinner over such things. And while the problems aren't fully gone yet, I am trying my best to follow the doctor's advice along with the medicine I was prescribed - So hopefully stuff should fully fix itself in a couple of weeks/months.

News concerning the rewrite

Heya all,

This post will be a bit of a rollercoaster ride, as I will be covering some of the things that have been happening in my life in the last couple of months since the last update and how the rewrite as a whole is looking. Part of the text will also be about health-related (and other) issues I have been dealing with since, unlike a lot of other people, I like to keep things transparent between myself and people who care about my creations - This means that in this post you will f...

Heya all,

This post is a big thank-you to all my supporters (Patreon and non-Patreon alike) as well as a sort of coverage of both the development of the rewrite of FA and my current IRL state of affairs.

So first, the big thank-you: Everyone's support has been incredibly helpful in the last few months as I have been struggling a bit financially due to some unforeseen circumstances in my life. However, with your aid, I was able to overcome those hurdles, and I am back on track and ...

The long-promised, big performance update is finally here! It brings an incredible amount of changes under the hood of the app that will make it marginally more snappy, responsible, and easier on your machine.

On top of it, a long-present bug was finally fixed, that was causing a gradual slowdown upon adding more and more documents to the app. This issue was causing gradual corruption to the saved data of the current project as time went on. This issue will not be happening in any newly...

RELEASE - Fantasia Archive 0.1.5a

This release is a little unusual as it is neither a full-blown release nor a hotfix. This version is more or less a reaction to a new Fantasia Archive category that opened up on Cartography Assets and allows for uploading of existing projects/templates for projects that people can use to kick-start their worlds.

The new addition allows just for this and more, as the "Merge" functionality lets the user import data from such project into their already existing project without any data los...

Big thanks to my Patrons and all other supporters!

As of today, the Patreon donations reached 150$/month - This is far the most I ever received via donations before and I just want to say:

Thank you; from the bottom of my heart!

This amount of money will already allow me to invest a bit more time development of FA than I normally would be capable of and, if it increases a tiny bit more, will allow me to start commissioning graphical elements from professional designers for further development of the app!

Before we get into the meat of this announcement, a small word of warning: A large portion of this patch will be aimed towards optimization of code and performance as  the current state of FA was written somewhat hastily after the first wave of very enthusiastic reception. Thi...
