Hey boo,
I'm mostly good. I'm aware that my overall mood affects my productivity with artistic things. So, there's a number of things I do to keep me on task. Power naps, regular schedules, and a bunch of other crap you can look up and I think I've talked about before. The regular rules for setting up a work from home space where there is a work place, what where work happens. I generally write in public. Restaurants, downtime at work, libraries, coworking spaces. Writing is easy. I can do it anywhere and everyday. Daz stuff is different.
Ideally, the work station wouldn't be the same as my chill out areas. Each space has its own state of mind.
I know what you're thinking:
"Ray, are you admitting to having a goon station?"
Hahaha, you'd be wrong. I'm saying a gooning station would be the most practical thing.
But for now, I only have the one big PC, which is done with the bulk of the rendering-
Progress
That's right. We've finished the renders! There are a few backgrounds I haven't sorted out but that will come with the coding checks.
My numbered renders are up to 1,358. There are about seventy renders from Dark Candy. I don't count some redos and sometimes I just make renders without a goal--following the art. Then there are some renders that I misnumbered or didn't count because I was experimenting. I might have just dumped everything I had into my work in progress folder. So, that plus the images I've rendered over the weekend is where the 1,756 comes from. I think before I've done a countdown with the number of renders in the WIP folder and I still might.
New Tracker
I thought this would be a good way to follow the ticks to release. The biggest note is any changes that will happen between versions will start at the beta--because of the censorship.
Censorship Watch
Things are still changing all the time. Part of me wants to express plans but there is work to do before then.
I'm confident that everyone that has paid money will have access to the new update, at the very least. It will be nice to have the game on a storefront.
Rewards
I thought back to basics. Memes and naked women. No cosplay. We get Bryerly and MC and the big-big coffee; Tulip with some long hair extensions; and an 8k preview.
