I remember you said you were working "round robin", and were waiting to make FRM 4.9 before you made DMSI. 4.9 is here. Then you made OF. Now...it seems you're making a drug sub? Also making ANOTHER sub ahead of DMSI now suddenly, a massively detailed multi-stage one that will no doubt take an extremely long time to make? What happened to it being made after FRM 4.9? Are you saying now it's being pushed back by months...again? (This just brings up familiar feelings of the program being backburnered is all...)
Things don't always go the way we would like them to. I made OF as a way to fund the business after spending so much time on FRM, and then I had someone of significant importance to us all, even if you don't know who they are or why they're important, ask me for this sub. The call to build it was made because it will benefit me, you and IML for me to do so. Even if you can't see how.
Honestly, I don't like being stuck constantly trying to make sure we have enough money to keep going, which constantly forces me to do things I would rather not do, or do right now, to stay afloat. But since the whole corona virus thing, sales have taken a serious hit and it has forced my hand in a number of situations.
Right now, the queue is the custom sub, then one of the six stage sets, then DMSI, then the other six stage set. I don't think it will take all of a month to build the six stagers.
If you were in my shoes, you would be doing the same thing I am doing, in the same order, if you knew what I know. Bear with me. This isn't necessarily how I would like things to go, but I have to prioritize until we get back to regular sales. This month OF seems to have gotten us back to our regularly scheduled programming. The custom is a relatively simple one. And because of the design and planning I have done on the skeleton script, coupled with how good LTU/UMS are already, upgrading the first of those should not take too long either.
Just remember, I don't do anything without a good reason, and what I end up doing is not always how I would like to be doing things. I'm sure that as a fellow business owner, you know how that goes.
I've had some issues during this pandemic...indeed. I'm scaling though now after doing some heavy-duty pivots. Wasn't easy. But now I can take advantage of extremely low ad costs because obviously most places have scaled BACK or even shut down. So, it's an opportunity I can't miss. Many of my associates in different fields are in very bad shape. I feel for all business owners, people always seem to think we're all billionaires with inexhaustible wealth so nothing affects us and we're all greedy etc. Many I know are in dire straits.
I also asked this because I wanted more info on the process, to decide if getting OF for myself was worth it. Sounds like it'll be far within the 8 month window OF was designed for. Fair enough. So I'll continue as is until 3.3.3's (or 3.4's?) release.
Thank you for answering. All the best. Hope LTU/UMS turns out well.
