Progress 26.05.2025 and Changelog for ToaM 0.41.0

Hello all!

Release day, as expected really. So that will start soon.

Rendering of 0.42.0 started, not entirely happy at the moment, but that's due to me nit picky over certain things and trying to provide more "natural" light so render time is more than I anticipated. But nothing new there, I'll keep you all informed on how it goes as usual.

I'll start writing 0.46.0 either later today or tomorrow, so that's in good shape.

So, no preview. What I render for the next two or three days, depending does the render speed fall into something sensible... is let's say it's going to be interesting. Thus, let's call this one as a background render.

I put a lot of works into my characters. Even to the side characters. You are already familiar with the detectives Cross and Graves, the have a story or two written from the time when I wanted to write "procedural police drama." The third one, the one with the notepad and a pen is Shannon, you might have seen her from random renders on discord mostly. Might have had her in some of the renders in here as well. Well the dice made here a police, in this case a detective. So that is something I need to weave in. And she might have a short story written for my own background material. Yes, in case it wasn't apparent already, I like to write. A lot. And at times, especially now that I can, it is good to give visual on certain things. This is one of those moments. And it helps to fill out the times when I can't show a actual in game render. Usually when I'm starting to render a new update or on the last Friday before the next one, maybe. Also I hate the lighting in this one, it's accurate for the environment, but damn it does make the textures clear...

Anyway to the important stuff.
