Hello all!

Monday! Hooray? Well, maybe. So what is going on?

Rendering is in a good state I have one scene left to render, but it is largeish. The update is a bit weird one, there aren't that many scenes, but the length is basically the same as any other update, so it will most likely will feel short. It will be around 300 renders though, not that it is much of an indication.

Writing? Writing is in a good spot all things considered, not too annoyed about it. I mostly got the parts that annoyed me written since it is content that can be missed with a singular choice ages ago... But consequences and all that. And since I ran out of non spoilery stuff to show... Well you know what it means right now. More rambling!

There has been, let's say suggestions of what I could explore more deeply in Sorcerer 2. Some are plausible, some not so much. A lot of it comes down where the story goes, and what I can make environment wise. Certain aspects leans more on the eastern mythologies and mysticism, some European, some African, some North and South American. Spirit of the Glade leans on Native American mythologies for example, with slight twist of things. I will consider some of it, but I wouldn't expect to see anything that might have been suggested since there are moments what you want to be visual, even if it would be a flashback or "vision" from the past. Something like... this environment is easy... although the fire in the braziers is bad. Need to fix that if I use this as an "production" environment. But for example, and it is just an example, if I would need a scene in a monastery I would have to evaluate how I would do the scene first. Do I have courtyard, do I have entrance, etc. If I have them in "European" style I would use them, if I don't? I need to find something else the examples case this would be used instead. Only thing it lacks is the interiors but those are relatively easy. So why this? I wanted to test the area, and glad I did, now I know about a few issues it has that I need to fix. Yay. Anyway, short break and back to rendering.
