Progress update v0.3 + Special Christmas episode + Custom renders of November

This past week I haven't had time to work a lot, I had many events planned and I've been sick for the past two weeks almost, sleeping an average of 4 hours a night, so my brain was not at its best, and I wasn't that much in front of the computer.
But I'm getting better, and I'm starting to feel the urge to create.
So I intend to work a lot more than usual this week.

Still, I've managed to create and queue 8 animations cumulating a total of 1808 renders, and I estimated the rendering time to be just a little over 21 days (*gasps*). These animations will take place in the "intro" of v0.3. I can't wait for you to see what I've done as I think it really looks good.

Now let's talk about my plan for the two weeks to come.
In my previous post I talked about a christmas special episode that will be released at ... Christmas, you guessed it.

So as my rendering station is occupied for a little over two weeks still, I intend to create that special episode starting Tuesday.
I haven't written the script yet, nor have I bought the assets, but I know what I'd like to do in this episode. In my opinion, two weeks will be enough to create the script + the renders. I can't estimate how long it'll take me to render those, but the sooner I start doing it, the more animations I'll be able to include in this episode.

Also, I don't want to have to spend more than two weeks on this project as I have big plans for 0.3.
I want to include a lot more animations, such as people walking in the streets while talking, or people hugging each other, etc... My goal was always to make the scenes more "vivid", with people doing things in the background for example.
Adding animations for mondaine things such as the ones mentioned above is really stepping up the level in my opinion.

Finally, let's talk about custom renders of November.
As you may have seen, Lucy won the last poll I published, and will be the model of November.
I already created a few of those, and I had so much fun doing those.
I decided to start working on the Christmas episode on Tuesday so that I finish the Special renders of November tomorrow.
They'll be out November the 8th and available to Chicken Tier and up.

So yeah, lot of things to do, but I've never been that motivated before.

So in the meantime, have a great week and I'll see you soon.
