Development Update - 29th of June

Hey everybody,

We've made some decent progress over the last week and have discussed how we feel it is best to continue regarding the release of the side path content.

Main Story Release

Almost all of the still images for this release have now been lit and we're in the process rendering them. We will then complete post-work on them.

The animations have been animated but are still awaiting lighting and rendering.

Everything within the code has been mapped out. I will proofread this a couple more times, but we're in a great position here.

The pace we're completing this update is very similar to our other recent updates, which is good.

That said, we are keen to start pushing over the next few months to release High Lathión on Steam as soon as possible. This leads us to our next point.

Side Paths

As you've likely seen from our other recent progress reports, we have been keen to release the side paths. Their size is much more significant than our usual updates; hence, pulling them together has taken a lot more work. We are also adapting to new workflows with them being created in Blender rather than Daz.

With this in mind, so as not to kill the flow of regular main story updates and to bring the game to Steam as soon as we can, we are considering focusing solely on the main story updates, completing the main story for you guys, and releasing the main game on Steam.

We will then add the side path content after completing the main story for you all here and release them on Steam as a free update.

Our decision here isn't final, but after much discussion between Tae and me, we feel this will be the smartest decision from a development perspective and to ensure we don't cause any significant delays for you all.

Let us know your thoughts on this; we'd be interested to hear!

Thanks for your support as always! :)
