We reached our first goal - 10 patrons!
Originally I wanted to send you some coins on discord. That feature is not widely used yet, so instead we've made you a render and added some post work to it (learning still in progress).
So I am sure you are curious how it's going.
First, as you can see, we are extending our development pipeline to implement some additional post work stuff. This at the moment is a bit try and error. We don't want to change too much, as we believe that our renders are quite pretty already.
But who knows? Maybe we can improve it a slightly little bit still?
Second, you remember I said Animations are important to me as well? I stated that a good story and renders are more important, but I would not neglect it either. Check this tweet:

This is completely animated in Blender. We managed (finally) to transfer characters properly, make soft bodies etc.
I hope no one remembers our early Blender animations.
We are currently porting our Terror characters into Blender. There will be some compromise, as example we only animate sex scenes in Blender and the rest in Daz. But where exactly that will be, we will see. For now I am extremely happy how that topic develops!
Third, Story. A while ago I've told you I am trying to find a writer that fits well to our team. I am depressed to say, we've not yet found that person. This is a current major block that I am trying to fix, as it costs us time and delays the release further. It is the only point currently not going according to plan and I hope I can fix it soon. If not, I would halt the payment for May as well.
I don't want to just release anything, I want us to make a truly grand game.
There is a ton of great material in regards to plot points, character descriptions etc.
We have about 10k words of the prologue written, which are already completely rendered. But we've compiled it and it needs rework, quite a lot. Plus it's not yet the whole prologue. I will keep you updated on how this goes.
Fourth, lastly. Expect a small, but hopefully good surprise in April!
Have a great April,
Eon
