Hey duuuudes, merhaba from Istanbul. I’m abroad visiting Turkey this week, so I may not be super responsive to questions and such.
The goal is to get the next chapter of FiN out by the end of March, though. Before I hopped on my plane, I’d completed almost 700 renders. I basically have a few scenes left to finish, but two of them are spicy scenes, which means they call for a bunch of images.
I’d intended for this update to be much shorter. Like, all the stuff I’ve already done? Not originally part of the plan! It was just going to be Ashe’s date, a couple scenes with Madison and Gabby, and then an ending that put a bow on a couple plots.
Now, this one basically has everyone in it. By the end you’ll have some hot scenes with Pepper, Mason, and Ashe, and a few plot threads will take significant jumps forward.
So, have hope! I’m still working (well, not this week, but..) and it’ll get done sooner than later. I’m never going to be one of those guys that puts out one update a year, but sometimes my ambition gets the better of me, and stuff starts to spiral. When that happens, I just kinda have to accept it’ll take as long as it takes, and focus on the work, not the schedule.
I’ve already roadmapped the next update, with the goal of bringing it in at a way more reasonable render count, by focusing on a smaller group of characters. I think that, if I could do bimonthly updates with sub-700 renders, that’d be a nice compromise between big updates, and frequent updates.
I could totally just start doing weekly updates of 100 renders, but I don’t think anyone would be too happy with those. :’D
I’ll be back on the 27th to post a new dev update. Until then, take care!
