Oktober (Preemptive) Status Update!

 
Hello!

I have to go on a trip during the first week of Oktober, and in fact I'm going to the airport in a couple hours. I'll probably be unresponsive until I get back. So I'm making this quick-post now, and I'll make a proper one, when I'm back. This has not been a relaxing month, let me tell you,.

In any case, Version 0.57 is out for Patreons - and it wraps up Chapter 7!
Also if you read the the 'pre-release' post, that link will work for a while too.

The changelog ended up being is really long. There's a bunch of map, UI and gameplay additions as you'll notice.

However! I plan to polish it more. I rushed to get it done before the trip. September had a lot of IRL stuff taking time away from me. This means, Ch7 will get additional renders and animations, for example when Bath Girl finds them in the Tomb, and some jiggly animations during the "stealth" section. And a 'risky' scenes with Gobapatra of course. Once I'm back I'll get to work on that asap.

On top of that, I'm gonna re-render Gobapatra's animations as well, I will make the movements and physics/jiggling better, and change some things with Depth of Field, skin shading etc, that needs improving (in my opinion). The animations are already done, so making these tweaks will go fast. It's just adjusting some parameters & poses, and then letting my computer work while I sleep. So don't worry about re-rending taking time away from making new content.

Another thing that has taken some time are fluid simulations. As you all know Goblin Layer is a small indie game about an aspiring painter, who only paints with white color on green canvas. So I've been trying to figure out simulations to improve the artistic value of the climax of the painting scenes. It's been a bit of a struggle, but made a lot of progress. Once I've got a good workflow for those, it should speed up making those types of animations quite a lot!

Anyway, see you again with another. proper, Status Update post after the first week of Oktober! And in the future updates!
