Status Update

Back on Friday, with pictures!

Renders are moving along. Still slower than I'd like but I'm about halfway done with the intro renders. I ran into an issue with one of the old models and decided to make a change. "Humpty" the "narrator" for the previous intro has issues with his eyes. The rotation axis is off so when the eye is rotated they don't rotate in place and instead rotate on some external axis and pop out the head. I fixed this last time by doing a few extra things but this time I decided to just save myself the trouble and change the character.

Problem is, I choose that character for a reason, I would've felt bad for another model but... I know it's not real but still, I'm a softie. That said, I know of a model I'd have no problems playing this role and I'm sure other people would enjoy it as well. The preview gives a teaser as to who it is, should be fun. With the change, I've added a few extra conversation scenes so it'll take a little longer to be finished but I think people will enjoy it.

The following scenes and BG renders should render out much faster. I hope... We shall see.

Work is going well with development too. Although I keep running off on tangents doing other things. I'm still working on the enemy skills, I'd gotten all the ones for the forest monsters done when I decided to update the few player skills. That went along fine, but I updated the "First-Aid" skill to require "First-Aid Kits" to be used. That meant I needed a place for said kits to be sold. Mj is going to give you the initial batch but to buy more you'll need to visit the hospital, a few other locations too but let's focus on one thing at a time. The hospital itself is done, but the interior is not, well, it wasn't. That's done and the npc to sell the kits is there, which basically means the initial phase of the hospital is ready, so I haver to setup injuries now.

At the same time, I still need to finish the enemy attacks for the Pleasure Palace (dungeon) and finish out that story event. I need to work on the two trainers that are there as well. The next part of the story will be overhauled so I need to do that too. I also need to make sure the social actions for Blaze work, renders link to the right stuff. Then set Fires social stuff up and do the same for her... Haven't started that at all yet. Gotta make sure the S.P.E.R.M stuff is working in general, then check it with the equipment. Need to setup the character bio's, beastiary, and all the professions stuff and whatever else may apply for the current upgrade in the Codex. Look over the LAM system to see if all events are linked to the right stuff then setup any maps that will need it for the update. Hell, now that I have the item table mostly done, might be time to start taking out the placeholder stuff for those events too.

Basically, I have a ton of shit to do. Welp, that's the path I took but that's all for the update! Stay blessed and stay tuned!
