Dev Update #11 (12/02/24)

Hey everybody :)

I'm thrilled to announce that the render goal was met for this week! I was able to reach a total of 156 renders, and I also have an animation waiting on standby! The animation is going to take 55 hours for it to fully render, so I'll be slowly chipping away at that whenever I can. And if I ever take a day off from rendering, at least I'll have something I can render throughout the night, and won't have to waste that night's render potential/time.

And in terms of writing progress, I was able to write a decent amount of new script. Probably not enough to last me the full week (as I have been mostly focused on rendering), but I'll focus more on that in the next upcoming days.

Nothing really too exciting going on for me to report beyond that; just been meeting my render quota daily, and writing script whenever I can. Going to continue that all throughout February, after which I'll start thinking about v0.3's release date. I’m not going to make the same mistake as last time, and set some arbitrary date way before I'm actually in the position to be able to do so. I'm just going to continue to keep up with this new and improved render rate (which I'm incredibly happy about it, as I'm sure y'all are too), and play it by ear as v0.3 gets more and more fleshed out.

A quick note about the preview image you see here: I was having difficulty choosing a preview render that wouldn't spoil something, so I just made this sexy little render instead. And speaking of which, I'm going to be working on February's 4k wallpapers today, and aim to have both of those ready for purple-belts (tier 3 supporters) tomorrow.

But that's all for this one! I'm looking forward to sharing more with you soon, and thank you all your continued support! <3
