Dev update #161

Added 2024-09-09 10:39:28 +0000 UTC

Hi!
The good news is that most of the toughest coding tasks are now behind me. I’ve been working on planning the heist and coding the Exploration Phase, which was one of the trickiest parts of this update. I’ll admit, I had my doubts about how it would turn out (or if it would work at all), but luckily, it did! So that’s a big relief, and it’s always great to have that weight off my shoulders.

On the writing side, things are moving along smoothly. This update is packed with some big reveals and even bigger plot twists. Plus, you’re going to face some VERY bad decisions (though they’ll be quite rewarding in the short term). I’m curious to see who can resist the temptation because, you’ll be tested more than once!

As for the visuals, I’ve already posted two previews, which means rendering and color grading are going faster than ever. I feel like I’ve finally perfected my workflow, and I don’t think I can push out more renders than I currently do. I’m giving it everything I’ve got to get this update out as quickly as possible - and, of course, to have Season 2 ready by the end of next year. It’s still just a dream at this point, but I’m going to do everything I can to make it a reality.

Lastly, I’ve posted the first Random Render on X and Discord, so be sure to check that out when you can!

Take care!
