Hi!
I've been deep in development, setting up one of the biggest environments I've ever tackled - a massive laboratory. It's the first large scene that I've managed to make look pretty impressive at night. That's a big plus! The only catch is that it's maxing out the VRAM on my 4090s. It's a tight squeeze by itself, which may cause crashes down the line.
Most of the internal areas are set, though there are still a few rooms left to finish.
On a lighter note, while working on the heist, I came up with some really cool combat outfits for Lady in Black and more. You're going to love them! Excited to show you some previews as soon as I have them!
Coding is intense this episode with the heist prepping system and expansive free roam functionalities coming together. It’s a complex puzzle, but nothing I haven't seen before - I’m ready to tackle it head-on. It's just going to be a bit more time consuming.
On the writing front, everything's flowing smoothly!
With all the work ahead, my new (colder) office is proving to be just what I needed. Stepping out of my living space into a dedicated work environment has ramped up my motivation and productivity.
Alright, back to the grind. Thanks for all your support!
Take care!

Hi!
Quick update for you all: I’ve prepped most of the scenes for rendering! The characters are in place, outfits styled, and the initial lighting tests are done, which means I’m ready to kick off the rendering phase in the next few days - aiming for September 1st.
I’m also writing a few more scenes now. It’s smoother to have them ready ahead of time, so I can focus fully on the rendering and coloring later without distractions. Everything is on track, no delays, and I’m all geared up to keep the momentum going!
While the update is still a ways off, I'm targeting a release window around the beginning to middle of November. It's a bit early to lock in a date, but if all keeps going smoothly (and it usually does), that's when you can expect to see Episode 5.2.
Once I kick off the rendering process, I'll start sharing some preview renders. Expect to see some badass scenes featuring characters in their coolest, sexiest outfits - I'll definitely be posting a lot of previews.
That's the update for now! Thanks so much for your support!
Take care!
