Hi everyone,
Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you celebrated it with your loved ones and enjoyed it as much as you could. Wishing everyone a good year.
I managed to finish the first quarter of the scene. I officially started the second quarter, and it's going well. Haven't faced any serious issues. Render count is rising, and I'm feeling good about this scene. I'll add more previews in the future, probably for the third and fourth quarters.

Steam
As you know, I am working on a Steam release, which involves a lot of things. I am talking and monitoring other developers to learn from them and get advice for a successful release. It takes time and effort. This is super important to me, and I'll put everything I can into it.
I am a professional, and I want to make games for the rest of my life. I can't deliver something I won't be proud of. What may work for Itch and Patreon doesn't always work for Steam. As you probably know, Steam is the biggest platform for PC games. As a gamer and a developer, I know I have high standards, and so do players. That's why I leveled up the UI interface, and I also want to polish the translations. Since people will pay for this game, they want high quality, so I decided to drop the AI translation for the Steam version and use human translation only. That also means I am going to QA the translation. I won't be able to do it myself, but with the help of native speakers, if I find the translation isn't good enough, it won't be included in the Steam release. I won't compromise on my good name. I am hardworking, and this project is everything I ever wanted. So if it's not good enough, it's out. No hard feelings, just a standard I want to preserve.
Renders
I am sorry, this week I haven't managed to create any public or supporters renders. I did make some custom renders, but I can't share them. I am working on something as we speak and will release it as quickly as I can.

.Two-years anniversary
In two weeks, TPOT will celebrate its second anniversary. I am preparing a big post about what happened this year, how I feel about it, and my plans for the future.
It's a good time to say thank you for all the support for the project.
Thank you and have a great weekend,
DC
