Hello all!

I'm not happy... Been battling with a crashing issue with Daz a fairly large chunk of the day. But on positives, I mostly have a stuffy nose anymore. Anyway, I'm mostly happy about how rendering is going. I have three and half scenes left, so it will take a day or two longer than usual to get it done. Annoying but happens, the renders will take the time they take.

Writing, well writing is exactly where it should be, had a lot of inspiration to write things over the weekend. And hopefully the momentum continues, but you know I'm not concerned about the writing. And no in game render today, what I have left are major spoilers so... concept stuff and some things I've been asked about...

So I've had a few questions about some of the concept renders I've done over the past months, and since there have been enough of them I figure that I will share the answers to rest of you since there are bound to be people who have wondered about them, just haven't asked. Mostly about these three, since the rest are more or less manifested somehow in the game by now (or will be soon). The Titan, the Goo and the Shadow elf, that's the official race name. Yes, all of them will appear in ToaM. For two I know when, the third I'm not sure yet when she will appear, or the conditions for it, but I will write it to fit the way I want once the moment is there. And those are just temporary clothes for this particular render. Although I am tempted to keep the dark elves outfit but alas, it won't fit her in the context she is to appear... ah well. Although, I do know a certain demon lord who would like that, a lot...

And while I remember, Update 0.21.0 secret: The imperial family asking for guidance.

Next is about the Sorcerer character. As same with the alien, I'm not actively developing Sorcerer (or Terminus Reach) at the moment as is. I just update the character models between renders, and those renders that have been put out have been just testing to see if there are issues with things. There are some tweaks and updates they need now that I know better. Some needs new hair, some a bit tweak in the mesh to make it work right. This way I don't have to do a mad scramble updating them when I actually need them. But then again, nothing I haven't said before but it can be missed easily in the posts.

And finally, but not the least. The orcs. I haven't forgotten them, just there needed to be time between we last saw them and their return. But the writing is starting to be at the point, time wise, that I might be able to bring them to the valley soonish. That's assuming everything has gone well. That and it needs couple variants for things. So yes, Kasha will be back way before the end...

Eh I should have made more renders but sorting the crashing ate time. Ah well, short break and back to rendering I'll go!
