Progress report 2

New year, new report!

Phew, hope you all had some amazing holidays.

I tried my best to reset a bit mentally, have some more than needed family relax time, and even touched grass and had new year celebration with friends. I also got drunk and threw up, but as I said on my server "there are always positives".  Funnily I've never threw up before, so I'll use this "experience" for sure when I use it in Fates future updates 🤣🤣

Besides feeling shit those 2-3 days, I've then went back to work, doing around 40 renders average daily, which was great pace. We reached 700 total renders yay!
The pace was great, and I am honestly really happy with the renders, and cant wait to show some more soon. I've actually showed quite a bit of during my work, kind of behind the scenes on my Discord, so if you aren't there, you are missing out!

Multiple Ep1 maps have been completely changed, and some (MC's place and Avis's street) have been completely ported again, because I actually liked the design, but the maps had some major issues which would be problematic in future. There is no beating around the bush, porting all these things, making commissions, costs money. But I am very thankful to all patrons, and especially one individual I won't name that donated a big extra amount for me to use on said maps. I jumped straight onto more maps with the extra funding, and I also sent him all previews, progress on them etc. so he can fully see where and how that money was spent.

Unfortunately, I also reached a certain wall. Last 4-5 days I wasn't able to render anything, because I was rendering really fast and I caught my map guy by surprise when I suddenly needed multiple maps ASAP, a total of 3 maps and 2 outfits for upcoming stuff, all for Episode 1 content. I could jump to some content further on, but with the possibilities of me coming up with some idea while rendering, and then having to redo a later part due to such earlier change isn't the smartest. So yeah, few slightly frustrating days, but I used them to take a bit slower, clean some stuff, make some amazing new outfits for characters and so on. I've been slightly down in these days, again thinking if I am doing the right move, but when one member on Discord showcased multiple plotholes (both dialogue and visual) in ep2 regarding the beach scene, I was again convinced that holy shit I have to fix that crap 🤣

Overall, decent progress, small holdup on maps, and cant wait in few days to again go crazy on renders once maps are ready.
And of course, the first set of sneak peeks on Patreon will be this month, so stay tuned! (I'll first post the remainder of some customs/public renders and then sneaks after)

Have a lovely day,
Kat <3
