v0.25 Progress Update #1

Added 2023-07-30 14:56:46 +0000 UTC

Hi everyone! Here's a little update on what I've been up to and why I didn't post anything for all this time.

v0.25 is about 70% done! I'm not gonna lie, this update scared me a little. After I released the v0.20 fix I only took a 2 days break before starting work on v0.25. My reason for this was that, with all the planned changes, the normal amount of work for this update would double. And so... I panicked! (Obviously)

Lucky for me that around the 15th of July is when I take a 2 week break from everything to enjoy the summer. This year, I wanted to spend those 2 weeks working on the update. And I did. The first week was great! I managed to get a pretty good idea of what's it like to be a full time developer, and I freakin' loved it! Everything was going smooth and at a good pace. Week 2, well... Week 2 started off like a nightmare! That code yellow summer heat wave came in and rendering became impossible. The amount of heat that came from the PC while rendering, combined with that crazy summer heat, turned my room into a 24h sauna. It was really unbearable, so I had to abandon ship and go somewhere cooler for a few days.

It looks like the weather got a little more bearable so, I'm back at it for now! The heat is still slowing things down, but if I change the workflow, I might be able to finish v0.25 by the 15th of August. I'm not making any promises, but I hope I can pull it off somehow.
