Hello, everyone!
This week we don't have much to talk about... except that we finished the planned renders! We also did a bit of coding and played through a couple of the scenes to see how we could improve the player experience. After the scenes are fully rendered out, we'll see if anything needs fixing. We know that the freeplay scene in 0.6 needs some love and there are still a couple of flawed renders here and there.
We're at the point where we could start to make some accurate guesses about when the update will be ready, but we'll save that for when we're absolutely sure. There were some really annoying problems to deal with this cycle and we'd rather not add delays to that pile. So far the hamsters have kept the wheels spinning just fine, but if we announced a release date with unknown factors remaining, they'd probably drop dead instantly.
That would be very bad.
Other news
We've finished several pending changes for Patreon and Discord in anticipation of the update. Figured out some headers and thought about some new banners... but ultimately we decided to keep the 0.5 banner for now.
June's special render poll also ended. From a total of 69 votes, Bree came out on top! She'll get the summer special later this month.
Speaking of summer, it's currently Midsummer Eve here in Finland, a revered day on which everyone comes together and drinks a sacred liquid that heals all sorrows. Or so they say. So happy midsummer to you all! Glad midsommar to the Swedes, and hyvää juhannusta to the Finns.
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend as well!
Cheers,
Robison & Npx
