Progress 19.12.2022

 And a good day on this fine Monday!

So let's cut to the chase. Update 21 is being proofread. It's tested for most parts and a few errors that slipped by have been fixed, same with update 20.

I started rendering the update 22. Big shock there, I know. And it's going surprisingly nicely. But then again, if it wouldn't be going smoothly after all the renders I've done to this day, well...

And thus, we move to writing. About three pages left of update 25's writing, which is about an hour's work, so I should move to update 26 tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest, depending do I need a small break.

And since the first two sequences of update 22 consists of heavy spoilers, you get concept stuff!

Doing anything that is not a medieval European style is a bit annoying. The lack of furniture that fits, the lack of interior to match the exterior. And on top of that, my brain wants to be accurate as possible thus, mixing two different cultures annoys me even when they are aesthetically close enough for most people not to notice.

Right until I remember that I'm not doing a "historically accurate" story, but a fantasy story. If I say a Dragon Emperor, I can really put a literal dragon as emperor, although, in this case, I just changed the guards and things went from annoying to, yeah, that works nicely. And then we have this...

I could write a ton about technological progress in a fantasy world. There are many aspects to consider when creating a fantasy world, as not all regions will be equal in technological advancement. Accessibility to magic, gods, religion in general, economic aspects, allocation of resources in the world, and so on. The list is quite long. Even today, we have fairly primitive tribes living in the amazon and probably several other less accessible places. So why they couldn't exist in another world as well? Also, this is the image that gave the final touches to the redhead that is in the water. I had the character made for some time, but something was missing. And now, seeing her in that image just makes sense.
