v.0.10 Progress report

Added 2023-04-06 07:26:11 +0000 UTC

Here I am once again with my boring progress reports.

The next version is out of schedule (as always lately) because Simone's scene didn't result as I was expecting. The text looked right and the images looked right, but when I tested it, it was a bland scene. I've rewritten the whole scene, returned to the original scenario that was on my mind and I'm rendering it and testing it as I do. Now it's what I had in mind.

I've introduced a little change in my working pipeline that is resulting in livelier characters. More blinking and fewer words per render... and more renders obviously.

Right now the update is in this state:

Scene 1 - Wakeup: 100% written, rendered, and tested. 124 renders.

Scene 2 - Breakfast: 100% written, rendered, and tested. 162 renders.

Scene 3 - Simone: 95% rewritten, 90% rendered, and 80% tested. 692 renders (will go up a bit).

Scene 4 - Meemaw's arrival: 100% written, rendered, and tested. 132 renders.

Scene 5 - Family lunch: 100% written, 20% rendered. Stopped rendering to redo Simone's scene.

Scenes 6-8: 20-50% written.

Right now I'm at 1,223 renders for the first 5 scenes, 536 of them animated.

Since tomorrow it starts a long 4 days weekend for me, I expect to push the development a lot and I hope to be able to release at the end of next week or the start of the following one.
