Hello!
Fuh ... I tried to write this message for 4 days. Finally, I have time.
Now
144 frames are ready. Not bad for 25 days ... Approximately 5.5 frames per day. It could have been much more if it were not for personal problems. I will tell about them below.
In general, this update was the most demanding of computer power. From only Kati’s model with wet hair, the computer was starting to slow down terribly. And when there was a full scene, it becomes difficult to simply turn the camera. As an example, imagine that you play in game in
1-2 FPS, you will understand what fun it was. On the other hand, I came up with several new ways to work on the old computer. It takes more time, but work comfortably enough. It turns out about 20-30 FPS, if we use the same example.
The problem is that this is version 0.2.6. :-( I was counting on releasing chapter 3 by the end of February. I thought the whole chapter 3 would be 400 frames (even wrote it in plans for chapter 3), and version 0.2.6, this
is already 410 + 39 (Extra). In general, I need to think of something with the speed of the release of updates, or look for an opportunity to earn money on a computer in another way.
This is just an idea for now, but what do you think if you put
The Intoxicating Flavor on hold and start creating a simpler game so that you can release the full episode once a month? Accumulate on a new computer, and then return to
TIF in full force? It just seems to me that I picked up the quality of the image high enough, and my computer does not pull this quality. I’ll save up for a new computer only in half a year, and working now is very, very uncomfortable. Plus, if it goes on like this, then I will completely release the game in only 2 years. :-( So far it's just an idea, but every day it comes to my head more and more often. I will prepare a small presentation by the end of the third chapter of the
TIF. Then we will decide what to do longer. If someone has ideas, thoughts, objections - write in the comments, discuss!
Now personal, if you don’t like to read about other people's problems, feel free to skip it.
To begin with, I was diagnosed with a serious spinal disease. If anyone remembers, I complained of a headache three weeks ago. Unfortunately, I spend too much time at the computer, 8 hours at work and 5 hours at home while working on the game. Because of the pain, I had to lie in bed for a week and a half, plus the doctor forbade sitting at the computer at home for at least three months, but of course, I don’t really listen to him. So I did not stop working for a day. The worst day was February 14th, it was really bad for me, so I didn’t work on the game, I just made wallpapers for my desktop. Making them is much easier than just frames for the game. Sorry for not responding to comments, I do not have a normal smartphone to answer while lying on the bed, but I'm glad you liked it!
But this is not the end of the story, on the 17th I felt good enough to fully return to work, but the universe decided otherwise. It have started a thaw in the city, and I was flooded from the roof. For 9 hours destroyed the whole room. It's just hell. So quickly that I did not have time to do anything :-( Now I have to do repairs in this room ... It feels like this year someone cursed me ...
In fact, I still worked on the game every day. Even on the day of the flood, I managed to make two frames. So there is nothing to worry about, and I will not give up work. I hope the worst is over and it will only get easier.
Thanks to those who did not quit, despite the fact that you had not heard from me for two weeks, and thanks there who supported me at this time!
