I'm going to make one more update this week as a 0.1d, as I have gotten some good feedback on a few quality of life improvements. I'm kind of prepared with the writing as before I started, I kind of skeleton wrote the entire story on a program called Final Draft (this also allows visual descriptors so it helps imagine renders) this rough draft has thousands of renders kind of described but I always go too long and cut down later. (My first draft for this update was 25,000 words! Cut it down to 18,000 and trust me, it's MUCH better being less verbose) I take a longer time with renders than probably most, both because of being new and also my GPU is weak (6 GB) so I have to play the game of test rendering and then hoping it has enough memory. (On this first episode, about 80% of my first render attempts didn't fit as a GPU render, so I constantly had to adjust) I have even adjusted my script up to 0.4 to reflect my GPU reality as I can't do 6+ character type scenes yet.
I'm hoping I am a little faster this time as a lot of my time on 0.1 was just figuring out how to code everything as a newbie. I had never ever really read a line of code before in my life, and it was very intimidating. My rough goal is May 1 to July 1 workload if I can keep the same size and quality as this one. Now, I feel a little more comfortable versus 0.1 so hopefully it is easier to work a little more quickly.
