Beyond Tomorrow - Chapter 2 #DevLog 7

Added 2023-08-08 16:12:30 +0000 UTC

Hey, how are you doing, everyone?

So, as you already know, I've spent the last two weeks with full focus on writing Chapter 2. Right now, I can tell that 98% of the chapter is written, and I've moved on to creating new scenes. Sadly, some scenes I'd done at the beginning were removed, recreated, and rewritten a little bit. I'm pretty sure that if I released them, you would like them. But I've felt like too much stuff is happening indoors, and I find it quite boring when I'm trying to replay everything I've done so far. So two scenes from the old ones were reworked. Right now, there are somewhere around 500 images done and another 500 or 600 to go.

However, since everything is written and I can fully focus on creating scenes, this is going to be done in 2 or 3 weeks without any problems, but as you know, rendering is going to take the most time. What I've seen this morning is that it takes approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour for one image, so yeah, it will take some time, but when I sleep, I'm rendering, and I'm trying to use every minute I have.

New music, new contracts—but still waiting for another two big artists. It was completely unbelievable for me, but I don't know if I'm just lucky or if I'm really doing a great job, but when I show my work to those artists, they're always going crazy, in a good way. So, hopefully, those two artists will be interested in a contract, and we will do something good.

Yesterday, I was looking at stuff on my PC that I can upgrade, and I need something around 3000 euros. Sadly, we're still really far away from this upgrade, but it's not impossible. Slowly but surely, we're getting close, and the reason I'm saying that is that with an upgrade will also come a Steam release (probably).

There's not much to say in this devlog, but at least something. Previews for higher tiers are coming after this post.
