Progress Report

Added 2021-03-21 14:03:50 +0000 UTC

We're getting close to the release of version 0.35 now, folks. I'm going to have it out there before the end of the month, though I can't promise an exact date.

For the past week, I've mostly been tweaking incredibly minor things that, while important to me, might not feel that important to all of you. However, this is my big opportunity to add a significant layer of polish to the experience after the grueling work on the endgame, so I'm taking advantage of it.

Of particular note this week were the updated renders for parts of the tutorial, especially Belle's introduction. If you're on the discord server, you might already have seen the preview I posted there. If not, you'll see it in the game soon enough. Many of my earliest renders and animations were a product of my lack of experience at the time, and getting a chance to raise their level of quality feels great. It really makes a huge difference to the game's first impressions.

I don't expect to make any more progress reports in March, so the next big post from me should be the release of 0.35 itself. Stay tuned. Also, stay tuned in April for the big reveal of what my next game is planned to be about.

Until next time!
