Update #112 To the moon!

Hello (hello hello), is there anybody out there? Just nod if you can shear me. Is there anybody home? -Excerpt from Uncomfortably Woolly.

Since I feel like I can't use a 112 what's your emergency joke today since I half-did that last week, you get this travesty instead. Guess I'll have to wait until Update #911 to try again.

Anyway, this week I did indeed finish scene 4, and just about started on scene 5 which I hope to fully make in the coming week. Expect spicy previews next week, though I'll make no promises on exactly how spicy, I'll decide on a whim then and there.

Such are the faces of people suffering great pun-ishments.

Been having thoughts on a certain aspect of masculinity lately. Why is it that cars and motorcycles are considered masculine?

One would think that propelling yourself forward by the power of your own muscles would be the masculine thing to do. But no, apparently it's manly to have a machine do all the hard work for you. Is being a lazy bum really manly?

Ooh la-de-da, look at me! I'm going super fast without putting in any effort! Weeeee!

And for some reason it's manlier to be a lazy bum in a diesel/gasoline guzzling machine, rather than an electrical one. I say they're both weak!

Real men walk and run and ride bicycles and go kayaking! Pedal boats are manlier than a car! Manly masculine men with luscious thick thighs on bikes! That's real men!

Ahem. Anyway, here's a render from scene 5.

Kinda wish I'd gotten some fancier buildings to the left instead of those derelict ones.

I couldn't find a skybox with a moon, so that's an actual moon prop with a spotlight aimed at it. To get the shadow I put another smaller moon in front of it and made it invisible. Except it still casts a shadow, of course.

I've been meaning to get the moon in a render, but I keep forgetting about it when I'm actually setting up the scenes. Now that I have a really dumb way of doing it, the moon might show up more often in the future. Maybe I'll even have more than one for fun, I've no clue how many moons this planet has after all.

Then again, I've never shown a moon until now, so it'd feel odd to suddenly have several visible moons. I might just stick to the one. Though I'll probably struggle to keep it a consistent size.

Horns, horns, horns! Rohan had come at last!

You may or may not remember Jarlina talking about getting a massage from Ruru. Well, that's the setup for scene 5. How spicy will it get? Well, let's just say it's their first scene together, and leave it at that. Do I have a third sentence that starts with well? Well, yes, but it's a shit one.

I just recently had a horrible thought. Is this a blog? Am I a blogger? Is there a blog with a worse name than "Update"? I mean, it's supposed to be a devlog. There's just a wee bit too much nonsense that has nothing to do with development for it to only be a devlog. At least I think so, I haven't exactly looked up the definition of the word. Haven't looked up blog either, come to think of it.

...

Now I have to look them up, dammit!

...

Alright, I've looked up some definitions, and I still lack a definitive answer. I consider that a good thing, because it means I can in good conscience ignore the entire thing and pretend that everything is fine.

And on that note...

Thank you so much for all of your support, and I wish you too a spot-free conscience this week!
