Hello all!

It is Monday, and I’ve done stuff... Unfortunately, no preview because, well, yeah... not really anything I can show in public. Anyway.
Rendering is going all right. I have seventeen scenes left to do, give or take. Of course, that is assuming I counted correctly. So, the progress is steady. At times it is slower and at times it’s quicker. Posing can be slightly annoying occasionally, but I’m getting the hang of it again. Somewhere around 950 renders, minus fixes and some additional images.

Writing? It’s in an okay state. I’ll probably start writing the update 4 tomorrow or Wednesday, depending does my brain wants a break or not. My only real annoyance is that there are limited opportunities to make choices in the early part. We are dealing with people who know the MC and have some sort of relationship with him, personal or professional. So there is no need to "win them over," if that makes sense. Update 3 might take slightly longer to render, not sure until I get there, but there’s nothing new in that regard.

Concept. Realistic pacing requires "filler" scenes, granted I rarely do filler scenes that don’t have a meaning. This was titled "Heritage" when I made it. Alexander’s past is shrouded to say the least. Tamara knows things, obviously, but not that much. She knew who Alexander’s mother was, obviously, considering the story in Sorcerer 1. But outside of that? That is unknown. And now you ask, who does this tie to everything else you are writing now? Now, that is a good question. Things are connected, while the problem that our hero ends up dealing with doesn’t have anything to do with him. There might be things about his parents and ancestors that might provide a solution to some problem. Assuming the needed knowledge is found. Will it happen? Maybe. It is one avenue that I’m, let’s say, exploring in the background. Anyway, things are going decently. And now I’ll take a short break and then continue rendering. See you all on Friday!

The disparity between his and Aya's outfit quality while they're holding hands is already enough. Much more and it'd likely get remarked upon. Not that he'd care, but Aya probs would. :)

Right, right. I suggest a new outfit for Aya, something more modern.

so there is one major flaw with this game when it comes to its lore (as far as i have seen) the necromancers need corpses to reanimate (which will naturally decay over the decades) so if they just dig up all corpses and burn them and from now on start cremating their dead only would that not make sure the necromancers can only have the corpses of animals and creatures that dont cremate the dead ? if so that would drastically reduce the amount of corpses to fight during THE event.

you are overthinking, cremating wasn't popular on this world and it's not on this either, on trs deads were sent to space.

It isn't just "fresh" corpses, skeletons, even partial work since they can be combined. And there will be hundreds and thousands of dead due to wars, famine, plagues and what not. Besides, funeral pyres aren't hot enough to dissolve bones. So, there is a lot of material available. And if not? What prevents them from just killing villagers? And that's assuming they only use one type of magic and don't make flesh/bone golems (the reason one isn't seen is because there isn't a model or morphs to make one).

Don't even need to be human. A horde of undead tiger and elephant zombies sounds pretty fearsome. :)

well it would not be a perfect solution but is tens of thousands not better than hundreds of thousands ? if cremating is not hot enough/wanted scattering the bones would also help or just crushing bones into powder. destroying corpses so that they are not usable for reanimating would be better than doing nothing right ? also on a completely different note is it correct that these last updates dont go past secret image 28 ?or am i missing some files ?

Numbers don't matter when your opponent knows no fear, or bleeds, but needs to be chopped, burned and crushed to pieces. Most soldiers would be conscripts during a crisis. Most would be basically cannon fodder to eat the enemies' arrows and blades so the real soldiers would be able to do the damage. There are corpses there just waiting to be risen. And retrieving the dead and wounded only works if both sides respect the pause for it. And it wouldn't just be undead; people flock under banners, be it good or evil side for power, riches and status. Or just for the sake of killing. And then there are those who are forced, such as slaves. Someone who can raise the dead doesn't care for the soldiers or slaves that are pushed in front of the enemy's blades. And there are magical ways to make people obedient. Like that one collar that blocked magic for that one Naga.

As I said, bone/flesh golems would be a thing... if there were models to show them (at least ones that can be used without legal issues). So scattered or crushed bones matter fairly little if there is other material available, scattering bones or crushing them doesn't matter if the material is there fresh as what do they care of the living if they want corpses and their souls? Attack a village, kill everyone and raise their corpses or make flesh/bone golems. And as e6mill said, animals work as well. There is no for it needing to be a humanoid. Just again, if there aren't models I can't show it, and it doesn't mean they don't exist. There was a gigantic bloated corpse in the swamps. Just raise twenty or thirty of those... (probably the closest I can do for flesh golem really). And you can't gather all the animal corpses from the forests. Hell, they just could attack a farm, kill the cattle, horses, chickens and whatnot and craft golems from them. The only real way to stop necromancers is to destroy everything living. And even then it wouldn't matter. Find a skeleton of a dragon that has been dead for several millennia, and you have an undead dragon under your command. Also ghosts, banshees, wraiths, wights, necromancers and all other things are still potential allies of necromancers. Yuu is more of an exception than a rule. In reality, you can only make it slightly more inconvenient by "properly disposing" of your dead.

As for the secrets. 0.50.0 was the last one that had secrets.
