I've made the difficult decision to stop making renders and animations for the foreseeable future. (Because I've done them all lmao)

Remember last time when I said I had 9 animations left? Turns out that was a fucking lie told by a Gary who can't read his notes properly. 14. I had 14 animations left to do (in addition to those however many renders). The dumbass, masochistic slave-driving approach (in which I am both master and slave) takes a very predictable toll. A few days ago I had a day where I did about 11 renders total, followed shortly by a day where I did 0. BUT then I recuperated and did 3 animations in one day (top 20 worst days of my life).

Now I gotta fucking speedrun the scoring and shit. I'd love to slam my head onto a pillow for the next week to regain my lifeforce but I'm opting to slam it against a wall instead for the greater good. Again, no predictions for how long this will take, blah blah, you've heard it all before. Basically I've given up all hope predicting shit.

So scoring, coding, and I'm 99% sure I have like a dozen renders I forgot to do in an "I'll do that one later" kind of way, and those missing renders in Ren'Py are gonna jumpscare the shit out of me while I'm implementing the new update. Also, scoring fucking sucks for a multitude of reasons, but especially that I can't listen to my own music while I work, which is what I usually do. For anyone who gives a shit I've been spinning McKinley Dixon's album Magic, Alive! for like the past 10 days straight because it's that fucking good. I'm gonna miss it.

Not entirely sure if I'm taking tomorrow off, haven't decided yet, it's probably going to be more of a passive workday. I need to back up all of my data, I need to compress all of the images (The new content is currently sitting at 48.8GB), and I need to re-encode all of the animations.

Speaking of animations, let me check something.

Why do I do this to myself?

Oh, fuck uhh… tomorrow I'll scramble and gather the final previews for you Resonants. I might put out a patron-exclusive status update just to let you know how I'm doing, but not decided yet.

Other than that, the next update will be the release dates.

Fucking laku noć
