I had problems finding this title because it's not tagged fantasy.
Why is that tag missing? And if fantasy doesn't apply here, what is the correct tag to search urban fantasy stories?

Hey everyone and Happy New Year.

I hope you all had a few nice days but I'm glad that lies behind me now.
Time to get back to my chill schedule of working around the clock. :-D

I did get a bit of work done and I finally finished the work on the current scene (yesterday...). Took me long enough and it feels good to move on to something new.
The PC's are rendering the remaining images and animation for the scene and once they're finished I'll put together the next internal test build.
After that, I'll start the work on the next scene.
Speaking of the next scenes: I started revisiting the remaining scenes planned for this update. I planned quite a few "alternative" scenes beside the "main path" through the chapter but I'll most likely cut it down a bit.
The development of this Chapter has already going on for quite a while and I still have some scenes that I want to have in the Chapter so I need to cut it down a bit.
Nothing important will be cut, though.
Mostly MC idling around at work and stuff like that.
it will streamline the path through the Chapter a bit more but it also means less work now and in the future (branching!).

On to the first numbers for this year...

140 new static renders for a total of 1316
9 new animations for a total of 42
317 new lines in the script file for a total of 3910

That's it for today.
Have a nice weekend, guys.

Cheers,
Ceo

Nothing like starting the new year off with some good old numbers! Over the two week holiday break, Ceolag has averaged ~70 static renders, 4.5 animations, and 159 lines per week. Overall, that brings his average to 63 statics, 2.0 animations and 186 lines per week since work on Chapter 6 officially began. Here are the charts:

It sounds like Kaija's scene is behind us, and we're now venturing off into whatever comes next. Still no word on what is coming next, though we have learned a bit about what won't be coming next based on what Ceolag has decided to trim. I'm all for keeping the game focused. Alternative paths can be very cool, but they are also resource hogs. Hopefully these changes will cut down on the development time without making things feel constrained or unresponsive to our input.

We probably won't be able to judge that until the chapter is finally released. But with any luck we may get a sense of what else the chapter will have when we see next week's previews. In the meantime, happy new year, everyone!

Feel like I should make this a keyboard shortcut by now.....
Tell me, when was the last devlog without Kaija front and center? Can you even tell me? My comment was nothing particularly about her herself. Even Ceo has apologised on Discord for it being nothing but her damn previews. So my comment was perfectly accurate was it not?

We'll be calling it the damn Kaija Tales soon.

There are other Lis but none, so far, is terribly popular. Things seem pretty evenly split between people who love Kajia and people who hate her but out of the others, none stands out as the favorite. Second place would probably be Finn - but I don't know why he'd be making new Finn renders. Even if he did one, just for fun - putting it on an update would send entirely the wrong message and probably piss people off all over again.

I said for some of us ;)

Many don't like her. the last 130 pages or so have made that abundantly clear!
I know man, just joking around, I don't take all this stuff seriously like some others, mostly just fucking around with all the Kaija hating.
