Hey guys and girls!
Just a quick one.
I've been very active on Discord in regards to progress/stuff going on, so might as well share here as well for those that aren't on the server.
Progress is going well, but I did had some difficulties. Unfortunately, we've been expecting it sooner or later, but our dear family member passed away at the end of August. Even ignoring any emotional aspects, just being involved with funeral, it's planning, and attending in another city with the family took some time, and moreso with the emotional impact.
I've been hard at work last 2 weeks since returning to more or less normal state, and it's been extremely productive, however I underestimated the amount of things that needed to be fixed. I guess due to University and stress during it (and lack of time), some of the renders I did during it, dialogue I wrote etc. was just... Not optimal. Multiple times I only had 1-2 hours free time, and the next free period was in a week. Some of the thoughts just got lost in those separated worktimes. I've fully redone 50 renders with new lightning, and I've reshot 70 renders for small clipping, accessory's misposition and small things. Small things that went under the radar due to my lack of awareness during uni.
But yeah, just wanted to give a small update. It's going well, but slow.
As I was expecting to be done with Ep4 in the last week of September, If you are one of the 2 highest tiers patrons with beta access and I don't manage to drop the update for you, feel assured that even if you unsub, I'll still send you the Beta. That's the least I can do.
And of course, if anyone else felt wronged, let me know in dms and I can refund for September.
I am really, really excited to finally drop the Episode as it's by far the most important one so far. But I don't want to cut corners, like with Episode 3 messy release. The biggest thing remaining are animations, and all the bits that are left to be done are updated daily on my Discord.
Thank you for reading, your patience, and love you as always
