Update Notice: Delayed for about 3 days
Added 2021-09-30 13:56:49 +0000 UTCHey all!
"True to my word", I'm currently rendering the last picture. So, in theory, in a few hours I could publish the update.
BUT - There were quite a few renders I was not really happy with and I had zero time to rework them. The whole ordeal I posted about in my earlier post took up even more time than anticipated. Who knew a business plan had that many components :(
The released versions currently have some renders I am not very happy with - And I haven't updated them so far. If I were to release the version today, I would likely never re-visit the new renders that come with it, looking at my behaviour so far.
Therefore, I decided to redo a few of them now instead of "some other time". For the long run, I believe this to be a better approach to releasing my work. Obviously there are still persistant doubts about the quality of my renders, but I can justify most results to myself due to my hardware, and the even higher time more quality renders would need. But some renders really didn't turn out... very good, and I know I can improve them to a degree I find acceptable without taking too much time.
I was a bit hesitant with this, because I don't want it to look like I'm stretching this into October for money. It being the last day of september, I still don't feel like I want to publish it like this though, and decided to do it this way anyway.
Obviously, respective tier supporters during september are still going to get a link for the release in a few days. Don't feel forced to continue your support because of this. I'm happy for the support I'm getting, of course, but I really have no intention to force you into situations you might not like, if your support was only for the promised version.
All the best, see you very soon!
