Status update & Patron milestone reward - Part 13

PCs have been rendering animations this week, and the speed is decent.

As I've mentioned before, I've been exploring SFW animations more than usual, but I've also tried utilizing a different kind of animation type that I've done a few times during lewd scenes in the past. I'm talking about animations where the camera cuts between different angles, making it more cinematic than looping. I found it very fun making animations this way, especially SFW animations.

Sometimes I string together 3-4 animations in a single animation. I will be moving more towards this animation type in the future, too. It won't replace the standard looping type, but it's something I want to explore more because I see potential in making interesting animations with it.

The Interlude will have 36 animations, and it's plenty more than that since several include 2-4 animations in one. So, the animation count from now on might feel less, but what's on paper won't do it justice. After all, it's just numbers, and the feeling when playing is what matters.

I estimate the remaining render time to be somewhere in between 1-2 weeks. Testers and proofreader have been notified, so beta testing and proofreading will start as soon as the animations finish, and I've tested them in-game.

I have polished and playtested the game this week, and I'm feeling happy with the Interlude as a whole. The release date is leaning towards early March at the moment.

Since there is waiting time now, even for me, I'm going to go ahead and start working on episode 9 because I frankly can't wait to get started on it. I have a lot of writing and planning to do. The Interlude will, of course, take priority when I can work more on it.

The .zip file for the Interlude, the first installment of Season 3, will be approximately 2.5-2.7 GB. You will be able to download it using a free MEGA account this time, which is great.

The preliminary changelog for the first modest release of Season 3 is the following:

Next week, I'll give you the final part of this series, which is the remaining three pages of the comic book and some of the art that I used to create it.

Have a nice weekend!
