Progress 28.04.2025 and Changelog for ToaM 0.39.0

Hello all!

It is Monday and a release day... I hope, soon. Anyway.

Rendering of 0.40.0 has started. Luckily, I wasn't as ambitious writing this one as I was with the 0.39.0. Still a lot of text, things that can be missed, but less hectic. Which reminds me, there is a scene I need to fix for 0.39.0, didn't notice it until too late. But I'll try to fix it for 0.40.0. Annoying, but happens.

Writing in other hand is still on 0.43.0. Why? Well, my body and mind decided it was time to sleep. So I slept a lot of extra hours instead of writing, but that's just a good thing. Insomnia is good for productivity but it sucks for creativity, but it isn't that much missing, so it won't be a long delay. Especially since I'm altering my work routine again. Some things just aren't that good while efficient. Anyway...

A preview! Mostly because it is a mild spoiler. A bit more foxes today. I try to incorporate them into the tower, so they get scenes. These past few updates have been more focused on the people tied to the tower. Orcs, the foxes, a bit of ogres and Rhea. The next section has Maryn, Eshe, and the Nagas. Then the follow-ups... well, plans are plans, have to see how things go with them.

Inspiration is a curious thing, at times it take very little to spark, at times it's like pulling teeth. Today, it was an easy day for it, granted the extra hours of sleep helped tremendously. Anyway, a bit more rendering then writing, and compiling the remaining release post...
