Progress 16.03.2026 and Changelog for Sorcerer 2 0.5.0

Hello all!

Well, as you can guess from the title, release is soon... ish. Although slight change of plans with... limited download links for now, I’ll put them up as soon as they are available through the evening/night/day. Apparently, the larger ones, for some reason, take their... time.

Other than that? Started rendering 0.6.0, nothing shocking there. As for writing? It’s moving on to 10, so yeah... things are looking okay.

This was an environmental test; obviously, I can’t show what I’m working on right now since that would be a spoiler. But I’m not fully happy with this; some of the textures aren’t... that great. Mostly the ground and some of the stonework. I fixed a few errors but some? Some need a full shader replacement if used during daylight. So why I show this again if I’m not happy? Same reason why I don’t do remasters. You learn from mistakes. And at times if I test something, it might help someone else to avoid the same errors. In this? I would swap the terrace and the ground textures. Will it work? That would be another test. Although... there was another reason for this. And she is in the shadows. Anyway, the important stuff.

Public release: Sorcerer 2 0.4.0

 

 

Tested and played through it a few times, and all the saves worked. But that doesn't mean things didn't slip by. So, as always, if there are any issues, please report them on Discord if possible. That way, I notice them quicker.

Progress 13.03.2023

Hello all!

Rendering is done, post-work is about 99% I just need to fix some poke-throughs I missed. Coding is at 99% as well; I just need to code one and a half scenes. So the update is about to be done and sent to testing. Yay.

Writing? Writing is close to being where I want it to be. Hopefully, I can get the remaining written over the weekend so I can get back on schedule. Nothing big. I had my doubts with a couple of days being more fighting daz than anything else, but overall? Yeah, it’s going okay.

Just a "motivational render" today, no spoilers. There are some design choices that I made during Sorcerer 1 that I’m sort of second-guessing right now. Partly because I didn’t have a clue how to make the changes that I wanted. Now I might have a clue, but having the required skills is a different question. Ifrits are creatures of smoke and fire; the black skin represents the smoke, they just lack the fire parts. I have a couple of ideas for that, just need the time to test them out. If things work out as I planned? It will be a nice change, if not? Well, visually nothing changes. Anyway, quick break, then fixing the poke-through or three and finish the coding. You all have a great weekend!

Progress 09.03.2026

Hello all!

What’s up?! Rendering. I’m actually surprised; I have one and a half scenes left to render. About. This section has been slowish to render, but nothing bad. So yay?

Writing is going decently; not much to say about it. I have a goal for tonight, and so far it looks like I actually might reach it. Probably not now that I’ve said it.

This scene wasn’t really needed in a sense, but it serves as a certain type of affirmation for things. It might... show something interesting as well, and something that has been asked for a while, I suppose. Although need to actually write a short section that I didn’t think of originally when writing this part of the update. Ah well. So anyway. Things are looking good, kind of typical Monday update, I suppose. I’ll take a short break and continue with stuff.

Progress 06.03.2026

Hello all!

Rendering is in... surprisingly decent shape. I even think that I’m where I should be. And thus I’m more or less happy about that.

Writing? It’s getting there. The rhythm of writing has been off for a couple of weeks for some reason. It’s ongoing and I’m not worried about it; it’s just off, you know? But eh it’s on update 9 and all that, so yeah. Just yelling at the cloud I suppose due to irritation of my own making of sorts.

Detectives Cross, Graves, and Randall. When I introduced Shannon (aka Detective Randall) I wasn’t really thinking of making this scene, then later on when I was writing update five or six it just clicked that this might actually be more important to show than just gloss over as an event that happened in the background. This and paired with the update four "hidden" image, gives some... backstory. The problem with these interludes, if you will, is that they can be too spoiler-heavy if you aren’t careful. Now I’m glad that I introduced the hidden images in ToaM, they sort of allow me to show a portion of the story that isn’t necessarily important, but something that is nice to know. Or maybe I’m just thinking too deeply. Right, a short break then finishing the scene and some writing. You all have a great weekend!

Progress 02.03.2026 and Changelog for Sorcerer 0.4.0

Hello all!

What’s up? Rendering of 0.5.0 has started. Not much to say about it except that I’m behind schedule on that one. Mostly because I made and tested the builds today. So, yeah, the release cycle will start today. So hooray?

Writing? I’ll start writing the update 9 by Wednesday, I think. My workflow is all over the place right now for some reason so I’m trying to get it back to where it needs to be. But update 8 is pretty much done.

Ah, Inquisitor Morin... which, oddly enough, reminds me I need to finish the cult thing I’ve been writing. Right, in ToaM I didn’t really show the "enemy" pretty much at all. That was a sort of conscious decision back then. Partly because everything I could have shown would have been a major spoiler. In Sorcerer? Not really the case; there are multiple threads twisting and turning, so showing things from the opposite side isn’t that big of a problem. And now, the interesting stuff...

Changelog: Sorcerer 2 0.4.0
