First of all: My apologies for the late post.
Currently, I have a quite playable version of 0.08.5 but I am honestly not satisfied as to how things look and feel.
I decided to spend more time to make the new content more towards what I wanted and the way I envisioned. I hope you guys can understand that I want to get the first scenes right as further content builds on it (also continuing from a "good" start will make things much easier in the future).
The other issue is to make those scenes feel "reasonable" timing-wise, Carol Love back then was rushed and I did receive quite some understandable criticism. I want to avoid that for this update.
As for a release date, all I can say is that I initially wanted to release by the end of this month but with all the hiccups, that's out of the window. Again, I am not happy how much time things are taking.
Obviously there is a limit as for how long I work on this update but I think it's the right call to get it done right the first time instead of reworking it in the future.
I'm a little stressed out about the situation but I think I already did some good edits and improvements that will make the experience a little more fun.
This is the first time after the very big break where I work under time pressure and I apologize for the long wait.
Looking into the future though, I am still optimistic that releases will come out faster especially when it comes to rendering times (Denoiser for the win). On the other hand, the number of animations people expect from an update nowadays is way higher. I guess I have to adapt and get used to those "new" requirements.
I will keep you guys posted!
Cheers!
