Progress Report #7 FEB 26 @ 09:30 UTC:
I'm moving forward with the last steps I need to do for release. I don't have an exact time frame, but it will be today (the 26th). I'll keep you all posted as the final steps start to happen.
Sadly, revisions are still pending, but I've held off as long as I can. If they arrive before I start uploading the RCs they'll go in. If not, I'll put them into the next update.
As I've said previously, there will be 2 scenes for this release. First is the part 5 content (because it's largely completed). Second is the new content from Ferdafs (which is just one scene).
For the new content, I've had some issues capturing the images this time around. My current production environment is not where I normally build the project, and for some reason all the captures (video and images) look bad. I tried several capture methods, but the problem remains. I'll do a re-capture of them for the next update, but for this one they will look a little ugly. At the moment, it's the best I can do.
For the ending, keep in mind that while part 5 doesn't conclude the ending, it will be the last one for possibly a long while. I am re-evaluating how to continue on the ending, and while I do still intent to have it completed, I'm unsure of the time frame. Also, in the next update (from Ferdafs (whenever that happens)), the ending will get a slight change, splitting it onto it's own "floating" day so that new content can easily go before it. Story impact is still be worked on, but it will be very minor (for now, depending on what happens in future scenes from Ferdafs).
Anyhow, thank for staying awesome!
