Progress 07.04.2025

Hello all!

So what's up? Starting to render the final scene, well started rendering it earlier. It has been somewhat smooth process, but it helps that I didn't really need to build sets right now. But it's just calm before the storm. 0.39.0 will be more complex to render as fairly certain that one scene in there will take three or four days due to the complexity of it. Meh... I'll deal with it when I get there.

As for writing, unsurprisingly I'm where I should be had plenty of time to write over the weekend, despite the mood not being there until 5 in the morning... Still I'm happy with it.

And talking to the two refugees from the Empire, well sorting out their lesson plans so to speak. During the updates at the tower there are a couple of scenes with them, and then after we return from the next trip some more. Well, that was it for today, I'll take a short break and continue rendering...

Progress 04.04.2025

Hello all!

Rendering is going decently, and I noticed that there is a chance that 0.38.0 can be really short if you messed up things with Malgrin and the Empire. In hindsight should have swapped a couple of events to a different day, but that wouldn't really have helped things since it would have just pushed things forward. Eh. Happens. Just creates an interesting thing for the hidden image location. Anyway, a few large scenes left to render, but I know more on Monday how things are. I know one scene will take at least two days to render, but I should be on the schedule I set for myself.

Writing, it could be worse, but in other hand it could be better, it's a just lack of time at the moment as there have been some interruptions. But luckily, I know what I need to write... that and there shouldn't be any set building left in this update as is so I should be able to write between renders at least some. And weekend so less people wandering to the door, or if there is any, it's people I can afford to ignore. But as always, writing isn't something I'm concerned about.

And a preview... of two people talking. And this was the least spoilerish render of this current set I've been doing this week. That and something that is suitable for public posts... But it has been interesting so far, some things being slower than expected and some much faster.

Alright... just to curb some expectations. Yes, she is a potential character, and no I don't know when (and if) she appears because I'm not writing Sorcerer 2 (or any other VN's outside of ToaM that is). Plans are plans until the writing starts and incorporates those plans. But that being said, model was made, and I like it thus would be a shame not to make a proper render out of it, or a few renders. Anyway, you all have a great weekend!
