December thoughts
Hey there.
I am glad and very surprised that so many of you still support me. Despite the lack of communication and information about progress.
At the moment 70% of the scenes and renders I had planned for whole EP III are ready.
This episode will probably be little bigger than the last one. If all goes well.
EP III will be released in two parts v.0.3 in Jan or Feb and v.0.3.1 in March or April.
I thought that when I upgraded my computer I would do everything faster, but it turns out that a more powerful work tool gives me the opportunity to experiment more and go through variations of scene lights, poses, etc.
I thought a detailed game plan would help me, but I ended up doing 600 renders of future episodes. I even already did one of the final EP scenes...
I realize that my "perfectionism" and slow work is making it worse for me in the end - in terms of income and patrons count.
On the other hand, I didn't start doing it for the money, or to chase the "renders per month". As I said before, I liked and still like the process, making up/creating scenes, writing dialogues, and so on.
But it's very important to me that you believed in me, and I don't want you to wait so long every time, losing your mood and patience...
I want to find balance, but every time everything is ruined by my fear of your expectations. I'm afraid that if I start working faster, it will affect renders, and the overall quality and depth of the game.
Some people are already dissatisfied with a lot of things in my game, so what happens if I start working on renders less, releasing faster?..
However, I not satisfied with the pace of my work, myself. Maybe I should release updates with less render count again, but more often... idk
Every time, my posts turn into excuses. *sigh* You're tired of it, and so am I.
I hope in the new year there will be fewer excuses and more updates.
Thanks again to all who continue to support me with words or money.
