Illustrated Dev Diary, 19th of March, 2021

Added 2021-03-19 13:11:32 +0000 UTC

Remember last week I said nothing much happened and it was a good thing?

Well, this week has been the exact oposite. Somehow Payoneer managed tag my monthly withdrawal as "completed", even though it was not the case. Long story short, it led to a whole lot of hours throughout the whole week wasted on the phone that was meant for me to put into scripting and dialogue. Frustrating, but at least it was fixed today so I can move on without having to worry about that any more.

Current numbers are 1,037 story renders and 9,979 animated frames. Animation is still a high priority for next week. Hopefully I can catch up a bit with the scripting part as the animations render before I go into the last weeks where I pose the remaining story renders (quite a few of them).

I've decided upon the release date, though the renders and animations for the video is not completed yet. Don't worry, I will not move the date, but there will be less waiting from the video is released until the actual Chapter 5 release.

I also want to make sure I don't release at the same date as a prominent dev which I suspect has a release scheduled for roughly the same period.

Now it's time enjoy a weekend without customer support. Have a good one, and stay safe. Next week the dev diary will be somewhat special. Some might have guessed why, but those who don't - be sure to check in next Friday.
