Some good news and some bad news.
The bad news is that I'm not done rendering and making animations. The good news is that the renders and animations I still need to do are all in the final scene that I'm working on right now. I don't want to spend too much time on it but at the same time, it's a special scene because... well, you'll find out when you get there. Hopefully I get it just right.
Since the last update I've gotten a good amount of renders and animations done. There was a long sequence with a lot of different options, so I ended up having to render different paths.
I intended for Episode 8 to be shorter than Episode 7. Checking the render counts, Episode 8 is going to have a little higher count. That just goes to show how bad I am at planning these things out.
I have Episode 9 and Episode 10 loosely planned out in my head. Of course, I'm not doing any actual work on them until this next update is done. The plan is for Episode 9 to be super short, which means it'll just end up being short. And if it is super short, then at least the update will come out faster.
One of the reasons things are taking more time than usual is because I'm figuring things out still. I'm always looking to improve renders and animations. I appreciate you being here with me on this journey as I learn and get better at this. I don't wanna keep giving you the same quality work if I know I can improve it. I can't promise I'll deliver but I'm not settling either. I owe you all the effort at least. Thanks for all of your support on that.
To summarize, I feel like I'm close to finishing up rendering and animating. I can never measure these things properly, so no timetables. My hope is that if not by the next update, before the end of the month I'll start coding and writing the line by lines.
As I mentioned before, there's a fun event coming up this episode. What event is this exactly? Well, you'll just have to wait to find out. Hopefully everybody has a good time, including you.
Sorry I haven't been posting much outside of the updates. I usually have a philosophy post up when I think of something that has happened or will happen in an episode and I want to expand on it. There are still plenty of things to be addressed but they're not anything time sensitive specific to any episodes. I put a decent amount of time into philosophy posts because I want it to be something worth reading for those of you who take the time out for it. I have a personal calendar that I can reference and hopefully I'll have the time to put something together in the meantime while you're waiting for the update.
I appreciate you all for hanging around. This is a shorter episode but a lot happens that I'm excited to see how you react to. Any questions or comments, feel free to send me a message. Take care of yourselves and I'll talk to you soon.
