Chapter 1 Redo - Devnote 1

A Town Called Tool
A downloadable visualnovel for Windows, macOS, and Linux

As I announced in the past, I'm going to re-render the first 5 chapters of this novel, this will delay things for much longer, it's very regrettable but A Town Called Tool will be better for it.

Sadly, renders are taken 5 hours and there actually no difference in render times but there are some that are around 2 ½ hours. I'm working towards reducing render times but the new images do look much better than the current ones.

Chapter 1 right now is actually a very bad first example for this novel, so it's essential I get this done.

There are 126 images being re-rendered in total in Chapter 1, sadly there are only 8 outdoor images that are not being re-rendered. We're adding new lighting to the scenes and also we have raised the max time on renders to 5 hours from 2 ½ hours.

P.S. No, I checked the render settings on the 2 ½ hour renders and I have the correct render settings for 5 hours max.

  • Setup Scene for Re-render: 58% (73)
  • Scene images re-rendered: 41% (52)
