Progress 10.10.2025

Hello all!

Friday... It is amusing, I told a month or two ago that this update would take longer than normal. During 0.50.0 I was panicking because it wasn't planned to take so long. Now? I'm calm. I knew from the start it would take longer than usual, simply because set building will take a lot of time. If I had to guess, about 1/3 of the time I've been doing set building. But overall, I'm happy with how it is going. I have four scenes left to render. "Problem" is that one of them is a long scene with fighting. I'm around 350 renders, which is roughly where I should be overall.

As for writing? If I can keep up with the "writing schedule" (have I mentioned building sets is annoying because it eats time?) I should be able to finish up the first update by Monday. Not sure if I have the buffer I want, but we'll see... I'll probably take a day or two writing break after 0.51.0 is done and then move to the epilogue.

And then, the final preview of the update 0.51.0 rest... rest would spoil a lot of things. But that being said, things aren't looking good at the temple of Yuina.

And then something else... This is again me seeing can I do something. Will it unfold like this? No. I wanted to see do I have an environment for it, then how... flexible the environment is. Then it just goes from there into something else partially. Although there are few props I need to find for the future, that is a good thing from this. And it also amuses me, when I create the characters there is a spreadsheet full of things. I think the current relating to Shattered Seals characters is somewhere in column BD. And rows? I stopped counting after 1000. It is a huge file, and it holds every character and lots of details from them, and most of it is randomly created. Except for the weapons for Alexander, although the sword was supposed to be a kukri, but didn't have a prop for that. The revolver... I don't know why that became his "signature" weapon. It was just was his I never really considered anything else when I originally created Mr. Ward. Although I would like a different model, .44 will do as the .357 model is... unwieldy, unfortunately. Eh, I'll live. Anyway, I'll take a short break and start rendering the fight scene. You all have a great weekend.
