0.5.1 beta
Added 2020-07-28 05:00:59 +0000 UTCAnd with that, 0.5.1 beta is complete, taking us from day 76 -> 97. I totally chewed over too much with the epic video "Call to Action", which has taken something like 150 hrs worth of rendering, 25 unique DAZ movies, tons of special-effects, all synchronized to music. I'm still not *totally* happy, MC's armor has some clipping issues that I'll try to fix with another overnight render, but mostly it feels a lot like what I had in my head, and Alexander Nakarada's Wrath is a perfect fit.
Act V deals with different themes than the preceding chapters, more than anything focusing on MC's changing nature and how it affects him.
So what's left for a public release? I did a spell-checking pass, there's a couple of dialogs that read a little strange if you haven't upgraded the Crowley / explored Elsewhere that needs cleaning up, and I need to introduce a late night visitor to the Crowley that will become relevant in Act VI and beyond. Unless I find something terrible, it should be ready by Friday.
As mentioned earlier I decided to break book 1 into 6 acts instead of 5; the content density of ~20 days/Act feels right (Act V was initially planned to take ~40 days), and splitting it where it does makes sense from a story-telling point of view.
