Update on the update
The second animation is taking even longer than the first, its almost finished rendering but at the current rate it would finish around 2 a.m. EST.
I'm still dealing with some of the long lasting symptoms of Covid, namely the fatigue and I'm already super tired so I think I'm going to head to bed and have the update out in the morning after I wake up.
I'm really enjoying my current sleep schedule and I really don't want to fuck it up. I feel really good about my workflow and how I've managed things recently and I don't want to mess it up because with the animation finishing around 2am I'd still have to convert it to webm, do one last bug / spell check test, and package and upload it. So it'd likely be around 4-5am before I was finished.
This update is two weeks of work resulting in 270 renders with 2 animations.
The entirety of last month I only made 370 renders and 0 animations, so I hope that illustrates why I feel way better about where I am at despite the fucked up render times on these animations.
Really sucks that fucky shit tends to happen when I'm popping off but I'm focused on the positive. I've worked my ass off and more importantly than that I've had a blast working my ass off and I know I'm going to continue doing so.
I am sorry for the delays, I know how much it sucks to look forward to something and then have it be pushed back.
It's sometimes easy to forget all the good and focus on the bad. I have to constantly remind myself that WVM is a very long project and in the grand scheme of things these few days mean very little. It's just really hard and upsetting when you know you're letting people down even if it's just for the short term.
And I very much appreciate the kind words and advice given on the previous post.
Anyway, update out in the morning. I have a few errands to run for my grandpa but I'll get those out of the way asap and it shouldn't take me very long at all.
Thank you guys <3
