V0.4 part 2 progress status

Added 2023-01-04 22:08:23 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone.

A new year is starting, and with that, I think it's a good time to talk a little about the next version coming.

So I'm not sure how I should present the progress of these two next week. Don't get me wrong, there is progress. It's just that things haven't evolved the way I thought they would.

Contrary to what was planned, I've been working mostly on editing the first part of chapter 4 part 2. There are a few specific scenes that need to be improved, hopefully with the help of Cephalon Wilzuki (for the new ones here, he's someone I met on Discord who has helped me several times with specific renders). And before I asked for anything, I wanted to have something complete to present, so he could have the full context. So yes, there is already a full edited part, with music, sound effects and all. I would say that's good news. It just feels a little weird to start editing when I haven't finished all the renders yet.

One thing I'm particularly proud of, I managed to find a way to show the wounds inflicted during the fight. You see, so far I've only used the preselected element of koikatsu, the problem is that in a sword fight, there are torn tissues, and wounds that must appear. And there is nothing detailed enough in the preselected element that I could use, so I had to create them. Something I didn't know how to handle until now. It took me a bit of time, and a lot of trial and error, but in the end, I managed to get a result that looks okay to me. Honestly, it's a relief. For the future action scenes, I know I’ll be able to handle it, I'm not going to stop making things a little spectacular because of this...

That's it for me. The scheme hasn't changed much, just keep in mind that the editing part will be much shorter than it should be, and that there is a lot of important progress behind that was done.

See you guys soon! Take care of yourselves!
