Progress 11.10.2024

Hello all!

I feel sleepy... So what's up? 0.25.0 was handed to testing and proofreading, and that's about it really. Outside of that todays is mostly Codex work. Wasn't able to updated it for 0.23.0 or 0.24.0 simply because they took longer to render than I anticipated. Not entirely sure how large the update to the codex is at the moment as doing some portrait renders and it gets murky with constant stream of loading characters. That and I had already some of them done.

Beyond that I'll write the weekend and then start rendering the next part on Monday.


And so, I've used all the images that aren't large spoilers... So something else then. Sorry about the dark image, but it's something I wanted to try out. Certain lines are clear, first north, then back to empire (this is already known in the public build so no spoilers there) and then we deal with the dwarf issue. And then what? There are always three or four different directions things can go in my mind. There are ultimately two things that determine it: assets, and does it make sense of storytelling wise? Underwater assets are unfortunately lacking in that regard. Can I make things? Yes, to a point, there are a limited number of things that can be used, but how to make the fit together can be a different thing. So will we go to underwater places? Not right now. What made most sense directed the writing to elsewhere in the world. And these renders are part of me trying to figure out what makes sense, both asset and story wise. That and there are no zombie fish models. Go figure... Although... At times it is smart to say things out loud, you do get ideas that way...

Anyway, have a great weekend you all, and I'll see you on Monday!
