It's been a week since release and I am blow away with the positive reviews, the words of encouragement, and the lively discussions here in this thread. I've posted some things here and on my profile page but I wanted to consolidate everything with the status of this project.
I'm not sure how long ago this project was born but I casually worked on the script, character creation, world building, and test renders, for quiet a while before ramping up into 'production mode'. I released this as v0.2 to signify it is approximately 20% complete. The number I think is fairly accurate, maybe a little high. The entire story is plotted out, including the ending, it's just a matter of rendering it out. The first release was 5k images. I have another 2k+ in the can already for future scenes. Most of that will be in the 3rd release. The 2nd release is mostly new material but I'm actively working on it, and will contain about 3-4 game days worth of story. 3 days is going to take a toll on our weary couple, trust me.
I want each release to be of similar size as the first. I think quick, short updates ruin the immersion but I understand getting bored, frustrated, and forgetting about games with long update cycles. I don't want to promise a particular cadence but I'm setting milestones for a 4month update cycle. Sorry if that pours water and everyone's fire but compared to some of my favorite games, 4 months doesn't seem excessive to me.
Check my profile page from time to time. I'll do short status updates as I reach certain milestones. Those wishing to support me financially, I ask that you give to F95 instead. Thank you.
... hot off the presses...
