he had thousands of rendered pictures for old version, and it takes more than 2 months to release full update. seemd as 2-3 years needed to reach amount of content of old 0.9 version
Well, he won't reuse most of them, not just for the aesthetics, but also because the layer stucture is different. The target is to reach a similar level as 0.9 at the end of summer. Once we get the first update, we can evaluate if that's possible ot not. But so far it's all just wild guesses.
Since everything is static, the render time is not what takes most of the time. He has to do a lot of work after that however. In the previous version apparently too much. I unpacked the rpa to use the different layers to create my own pictures and the old version really had quite a confusing folder structure. Instead of location->situation->character->clothinglayers or situation->location->character->clothinglayers he put the character on top of the hierarchy which makes it a bit complicated to find the right layers. Of course he knows his structure better than I do, but coding must have been a pain.
The tech demo of the new version still has it's problems, the lighting is not consistent. I hope he can get that sorted in time.
But then again when only seeing one variation each time while playing, one won't notice. Maybe it's just noticeable while comparing the shots directly.
But if it really takes 3 years ... so be it.
There's no point in complaining or badmouthing it. Who wants faster assembly line progress can always play Glamour.
