Realm 3 - Progress Update

Hey everyone,

It's been a little while since our last progress update, so here's one now!

At the top of this post is a preview image of the Elven King and Queen, Erevan and Zerille.

Things are moving forward, and we now have all the images for the first update posed and the NSFW animations animated. Most of these images and animations still need lighting, rendering and post-work. Alongside this, we are also working on other SFW animations.

--We've made some changes since, but you can check out an early animation preview here--

Previously, we mentioned that we would primarily be creating custom environments from now on to help the game feel unique. Due to several factors, getting these environments together took longer than anticipated. The good news is we now have the environments needed for the first two updates. The environments we have worked in so far had some issues, which caused the files to take longer to open when lighting the scenes, resulting in this taking a bit longer than expected. Now that we're aware of these issues, we will take steps to optimise these in future. It's been a learning curve, but this temporary setback will help us know how to improve this moving forward.

For now, we've added a few new environment previews below :)

(The denoiser is on early in some of those previews. But don't worry, the environments are high quality).

We'll be implementing the upgraded UI in the new game this weekend. Our programmer was suffering with Covid, which delayed this being done earlier. We're excited to test everything and implement the new glossary features over the next week.

A couple more examples of the new UI are below!

Over the next week, we will also work with our composer to start creating some new music tracks for Realm 3.

We knew we were being ambitious with everything we're upgrading for Realm 3. While it has taken us longer to get things together than anticipated, we feel confident that things will proceed much more smoothly once the first update is out. We're still aiming for late this month, but if not, then it will definitely be during the first half of November.

Thanks for your patience. We will have some more updates soon. We can't wait to share more with you!
