Progress 21.04.2023

 

And good Friday to you all. I think it should be Friday in most parts of the planet... anyway.

I'll start rolling out update 29 next week, hopefully on Tuesday. About there, give or take. My net connection has been annoying, to say the least, in the past few weeks or so. But that's nothing new going toward the summer. 

So update 30? Rendering is on schedule, not that I exactly have one, but I'm still more or less where I want it to be with it.

And as for writing, this is again a complete shock, but it's also about where I want it to be. Sure, I'm one and a half pages behind my goal, but I haven't written today yet.

At best, this is a minor spoiler: the acting Fleet Admiral talking with the UEC ambassador and his staff. Now, the interesting parts happen after a handful of these renders...

And as for the character I wanted to introduce. Her name is Shani, and as you can see, she is a fairy. When I name characters, I start with a meaning that comes to mind when I create or look at the created character. Then I either look for names related to that meaning or create random names. But when I see the name, I know it is the right name for the character. In her case, it ended up as Shani, and frankly. I like it, it might not be a "traditional" name for a fairy, but... that shouldn't be anything new for me. Yes, she is familiar looking to some of you. However, while I liked the character in the original form, I didn't have a role in the original form. It wasn't until I plotted down the first "episode" that she didn't have a role in it, but now she does.

 

Staff is one of the more important tools for the mages. It helps them to focus the magical energies, acts as a weapon, and helps you to stay up after more draining spells. Getting one, well... either you are given one, inherit one, buy one, or... you make one. Tomas originating from a farm doesn't put him in the position for the first three options. But making one might be more hazardous to one's health in more than one way. There are a few more renders about this thing overall
