[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update VIII

Greetings,

this week I've been doing more rendering and starting scripting the first scenes.

Locations

There will be quite a few new locations that will be accessible in the upcoming update like the one above. So lot's of new locations to hide little secrets :)

Most of those environments I'd already modeled before starting to develop the episodes so I just did some retouching on those scenes as the the shading was done with an old version of the render engine.

There is one location that I haven't modeled yet and wasn't sure if I would model it myself or if I would use one of the available assets from the various assets stores. However, I decided to model on myself as I want to lay it out for a few specific scenes I have in mind and I want to give it my own touch. And I wanted to model something again :)

Streaming

The location I want to model is a sauna. I have already put a reference collection together so I could basically start anytime. I would like to make a test run for streaming with the modeling of this environment. I'll probably stream in a dedicated Discord channel for this that will be available to all Patreons this time. I don't have a specific date in mind yet, but I want to do this before I leave for my vacation. So probably sometime this month and I'll announce it a few days before in case someone want to have a look.

Vacation

I'm still planing my vacation but I'll be on the road for almost all of October. Like I said I will pause payments for October than. But I don't want to leave just like that for a month so I'll do another 4K Render reward before leaving. For the theme of the render I'll make a poll sometime this week.
