Dev update #18

Added 2020-03-27 15:24:03 +0000 UTC

Hi! I thought it's a good time to give you guys an update... Well! I'm working as hard as ever on the chapter, but this time it's a little bit more difficult than usual. Lots and lots of things are happening in this update and I want to give each scene as much attention as possible. It's worth mentioning that... most of those are happening at night which means longer render times = fewer renders per day.
Obvious solution? Stop making scenes at night! I believe the atmosphere that comes from a scene (tension, uncertainty and so on) comes not only from music but most importantly from lighting. And it's impossible to achieve without it happening at night. I mean... can you imagine a really stressful, intense scene... in broad daylight? It's just not the same. I'm gonna show you something (if I don't forget) after Chapter 8 is published and you'll see what I mean. :) A comparison of the same scene with different lighting.
Well... What does all of it mean? It means... and I have to be honest here... It means that I may not be able to release the next update in April. I wanted to let you know that earlier (and not after your payments are processed). :)
Damn! I can't wait to have this update done already and be able to publish it and see what you think! Unfortunately, there's still tons of work for me to do...

Another preview coming in a day or two!
I hope you're dealing somehow with the virus and staying healthy!

Take care!
