28th February 2010

Just a quick, formal blog update today.

In case you hadn't noticed, the updated version of the Kelly date is online. There are three new endings for you to discover. If you find any bugs, please send them to chaotic@virtualdategirls.com so I can resolve them.

In case you hadn't realised by the recent poll, the next game to the site will feature Rachel. This game will also include the removed ending from Kelly involving Alex from the office game, as well as several others of course. An ETA and more details will be posted at a later time on the site.

As an extra note, from March 1st, VIP will not be open to new subscribers. This is because I will be amalgamating it with the offsite, so everything from VIP will be moved over. It seems a sensible thing to do for a variety of reasons. The merge will happen on April 1st to give any recent VIPs the full month they signed up for.

Good news.

I've finally managed to find a way of altering expired members on the offsite.

It's a tedious process and I have to trawl through all the records online (with no search ability), but it is possible. Pardon my French, but thank Fuck. To say I was getting a little stressed out over this would be an understatement.

If you previously signed up for the offsite, but only got one month's worth of access, email me at this address : vdgoffsitereports@googlemail.com

Please do not use the usual admin email address. This will allow me to keep things better organised.

Email your username, password and the email address you signed up with and I should be able to alter your membership to the longer version.

Please be patient as updating the information isn't a simple case of ticking a box and, as I said earlier, there's no search function.

Now, I'm going for a drink.

17th Feb Update

Just a quick update to point out what's happening with the offsite.

Epoch, the internet billing company who handle the memberships, don't seem to have a system which simply allows a one time payment and infinate access. I have found however, the option of how to create new subscription options. The sign-up to the offsite is now a one time payment for four months of access.

This way, anyone who signs up will have a third of a year to enjoy any updates. It feels a little better than one month for $19.99 as I don't feel the amount of games there just now warrent the cost. The original point of the offsite was to help with my house moving around May 1st, and my big thanks to everyone who subscribed so far (especially if you did it for that reason), but a constant source of finacial support for the site also helps keep it going, so my aim is to maintain the offsite like this. There is the VIP section, but there really aren't that many people who take it up (27 right now currently subscribed I think), and since the price is about the same now, I am considering merging the two.

If anyone who's membership has run out wishes to resubscribe at the new rate, go ahead, but there is no new content just yet. When there is, it will be announced on the main free site.

11th February 2010

Just a few straight forward statements for this blog update.

The next game to the site will be an expanded version of the Kelly date. See the coming soon section for more details.

Due to a misunderstanding in how something was phrased, the offsite is only actually giving access to people for one month (it is not rebilling though, so don't panic too much if you signed up). I don't think the billing company has a service where they just give permanent access. I'll have to decide what to do about it.

The 'Super date' I have planned is going well and should be finished around the April time I intend. I'll add a preview to the site once the new Kelly game is online.
