So I've realized that I'm certainly going to need to upgrade my laptop in a few months while I've been working on this update... My VaM folder is over 1.3 TB large. I've been working off of an external hard drive for a few months now and it's excruciatingly slow compared to when I was working directly from my laptop (internal SSD is only 1 TB large). I plan in a few months to upgrade to a Razer 16 once it releases & try to expand the internal SSD as well. Not really an Dev Update on D.I.E.T., but wanted to share anyways since I'm about to pull my hair out as I wait for assets to load ha.

So in regards to D.I.E.T., got all my still renders done this weekend. There's quite a few more in this update than there has been in previous updates. Character sprites are a bit simpler to do for me (I've got a template scene for taking transparent photos), but there are usually hundreds of sprites in one update. I'll be working on this every night this week as per usual.

I plan to release one more Dev Update before release (barring any catastrophic issues). Thanks again for everyone's support and patience.

Respectfully,

CoastalBunny
