Hey everyone,
This has been a pretty normal week, given the season and the pre-Christmas madness.

Speaking of Christmas, Patreon introduced a new feature a while ago called "Gifts."
Creators and Patrons can gift Subscriptions to non-Patrons (sadly you can't gift to Patrons with an active sub even if you want to gift a higher tier than they pledged).

I'm going to use that feature to gift 6 months of Chaplain tier to 5 people on Christmas.
The registration and selection of the winners will be held on Discord because I can let a bot do the dirty work and keep slacking myself.

Registration will be open until December, 23rd, 11:59 PM (UTC). After that, the bot will pick 5 random winners.
The only restriction for participating is that you must not have an active subscription to me (and have joined my Discord server, of course).

Otherwise, I made some pretty good progress and I'm nearing the end of the long ass scene I've been working on. I hope to finish it before/around Christmas so I can move on to the next one.
To be fair, it is the longest scene of the whole chapter so once it is done the remaining scenes are more diversified.
And no, that doesn't mean we're close to the end of the chapter ;-)

Next week I'll focus on animations, again, and static renders depending on the progress with the animations.

The numbers for this week:
172 new static renders for a total of 1152
0 new animations (come back next week)
535 new lines in the script file for a total of 3443

Have a nice weekend, guys.

Cheers,
Ceo

Doesn’t do it for me - although that may be a neurospicy brain thing. After I dislike someone they stop being attractive or at least it taints their looks for me. The whole hate-fuck concept is just not me.

I get what you're saying, I really do. But the reason I belabor this point so heavily is that, based on everything leading up to that point, I do not believe sparing Finnabair's life would move the needle. Indeed, it has no effect on Finnabair whatsoever, she's eager to keep fighting. It's only Medb inexplicably going from "traditions are sacrosanct!" to "eh, close enough" that forces Finnabair to call off her revenge.

I can't quite buy that. Given just how hostile Medb has been to that point, I think she'd see this as proof the MC was literally too stupid to live. If the MC really felt peace was more important than his life, why did he fight Finnabair at all? Just throw down his sword and say he WILL NOT kill the people he came here to help. That's also something no Templar would ever do, though I doubt it would matter to anyone except maybe Ailill. By the time the MC was fighting, he had no reason to think there was a way to stay alive short of killing Finnabair, and he clearly wanted to stay alive.

Medb's about face was not, IMHO, well handled - unless you think she was just grasping at straws to save her daughter's life, which I doubt was the intent. I guess you could say that the MC disarming Finnabair "proves" the MC had the strength to back up his lofty ideals and thus forced Medb re-evaluate him, but a) the MC had no way of knowing that at the time, and b) the MC hadn't actually won the fight yet. If Medb hadn't intervened, the MC was going to die (unless he eventually bit the bullet and either killed Finnabair or maimed her to the point she literally couldn't fight anymore). In fact, if we want to get technical, killing the mercenary life in Chapter 1 earns a Medb point on the grounds that "leaving a potentially dangerous enemy alive is, again, a stupid move." Finnabair was far more than a potential danger at that point. :cautious:

I wonder if the scene would have worked better if Finnabair wasn't quite as defiant once the MC disarmed her? I'm not saying she should suddenly blubber for her life, but something to give us a sense that she would prefer to live if that was an option might have helped - a scared look that belied her angry words, or a resigned request that the MC get it over with, something like that. It would make Medb's intervention feel more grounded, and Finnabair's about face the next day less incongruous. (It would make Medb's ire if the MC actually kills Finnabair a little less hypocritical, too.) That way it's less a case of Medb suddenly rushing to the MC's aid, and more a case of him wearing down Finnabair's resolve on his own. Alternatively, Medb or Ailill could have flat out told the MC that the duel was mandated, but death was not. That would explain why the fight ended, but might be a little too on the nose.

Ah well, spilled milk at this point. What we got works well enough if we're willing to suspend our disbelief a little harder. But I do think we need to suspend our disbelief.

Question can't remember wasn't Finnabair Mebds daughter. Really can't remember.

Interesting numbers this week. Ceolag is now averaging around 64 static renders, 0.8 animations, and 191 lines per week overall since work on Chapter 6 began. Here are the charts:

That's quite the surge in statics and lines. I'm not sure what it means, but it's certainly notable. As for the previews, Kaija looks good, but I'm more interested in what comes next; hopefully we'll find out soon.
