Hi everyone, I hope you're having a good extended weekend. I'm going to leave here a small report of my week.

I finally upgraded my computer, now I have a new motherboard with a powerful processor, 32Gb of RAM, and Windows 11 running on an SSD, thanks again to Jersson for the donation. I spent part of the week putting things together and I'm still surprised at how quickly everything opens up, so it was a really fun week for me.

With everything running fine, it's a lot more enjoyable to work in Blender, so I passed a part of the workflow to it. I improved my rigging system, which makes it easier to create animations. The intention is to make all the animations with cartoony movements, so I don't need to use motion captures anymore, which makes the work easier but doesn't match the character design so well.

Another technical detail is that I upgraded the game to a new version of Unity and this one brought some lighting changes, which seem to fix some issues, but I'll need to reconfigure everything one more time.

I've been testing the game on Linux and the results are still not good. I believe that making the game run well on Linux would also solve the problems on Mac and Android, which are very similar. But I don't intend to focus on these ports for now. Next week I start creating the animations for the next update.

I'll still be back this weekend to wish you a happy Easter, but for those who won't have time to look, I wish you all a great holiday filled with joy. See you soon!
