What is next for Dinks TTT?

I can answer this, at least from my end of things. Currently only chibill has access to the test server FTP, meaning I can't upload files to test stuff myself and everything has to go through him (which isn't his fault, it was a dink decision). This makes things harder for a handful of reasons:
A) If chibill isn't immediately available to upload something, it can't be tested or worked on until he's available, at which point I might not be immediately available again. This can result in things getting forgotten.
B) If something requires numerous small tweaks, I have to repeatedly bug chibill about it, which I try to avoid doing.
C) If I miss or forget something or if something doesn't get communicated clearly (which is just an inevitability sometimes, things get missed), then I don't know what's been uploaded, tested, or changed as I can't simply look myself, and is generally just much harder to keep track of everything.
D) By uploading things to the test server, I would naturally form a collection of all the files of things that had been worked on, and if I needed a file I could quickly grab it from the test server. This made it easier to not only track everything, but to organize the update to send to dink. Now I have to track down each file individually through chat logs and verify that it's the latest version.

All of these issues combined also result in a pretty big hit to my motivation. I'd love to work on new stuff again, but it's a lot of hoops to jump through to get to do unpaid labor. I've tried talking to dink about getting access, but I have yet to hear back from him for some time now.

All of that said, we do have some stuff we've been working on that should hopefully be ready to send to dink soon.
