Progress Report 06.07.2025

Hello!

It’s nice to see you after these ~3 weeks! 🤣

Ngl it felt so weird to just stop writing reports out of the blue, like something was definitely missing!

But generally I think it worked out well since I had time for my thoughts to grow into shareable sentences I can unleash upon you now.

I’ve been mentioning how I wanted to have long, fleshed-out scenes in both paths, right?

So for the last couple of weeks - definitely over a month, maybe even two (which is insane btw) - I was working on the final scene for the update. I’d say it’s easily going to meet the quota from above and more than that. You’ll see a lot of pretty renders, animations, animated renders, which hopefully combining these ingredients is going to make a tasty-looking dish 😋

Other than that - there are still 2 smaller scenes I want to work on and implement, but like last time, I really wanted to start working on the code again, make sure all the puzzles fit well with each other. So I have already started!

I know it’s been taking a long time and frankly, I’m not happy with it. Three months between updates has been a goal for a while, and while I clearly failed to deliver that this time, it’s still a goal that I’m hopeful to reach in the future. It’s possible that if I had planned everything better, I wouldn’t struggle this much - but the milk is already spilled. Maybe it would be better to split the update in two, but what I know for sure is that I just went overboard and made scenes too long.

There is a lot to think about, but I’ll just leave it for now and release the update first. Then I’ll take a break and think it all through again. You know what they say; you measure twice and cut once. And here I am... still cutting.

But look, here's Lucy!

Additional Render
Animated version available for Serenity Tier and higher!

If you're wondering if your eyes are playing tricks on you or if I have just reworked Lucy once again, then I come in clutch with your awaited answer: you're absolutely fucking right, I reworked her again.
I don't know what's wrong with my brain, but for some reason, I just couldn't nail her look without feeling regret a month after.
But this one is the last one, I swear!

Surely.

Anyway...

Here’s what I’ve done:

• ~50 renders 

• 5 animations

• 1 animated render

• ~300 lines of code
