Development Update Chapter 1 Part 3

I am really trying to step on the gas; I am producing more renders than usual this week. I want to finish all the art as soon as possible, but not at the cost of quality. So, that being said, this week was productive. I like where this scene is going, and I think I am almost in the middle of it. This one will include animations as well—at least 6-8 animations. I am aiming for 8.
Last week was also rough regarding one of my biggest supporters. Their account has been suspended, and Patreon is not responding to them. I hope it will turn out well for them and everything will be on track. Also, they are a great friend of mine, so I hope it will be okay.

Personal life

You may or may not know that I was laid off from my current position after 10 years in a big company. Losing your job can be a bad situation, but it's also an opportunity for a change in life. I feel like I did what other people told me all my life, and I always put people before myself. Developing this game was the first step in my journey to reclaim my life as I want it to be. Don't get me wrong, I had a very good job, people would switch places with me in a second. But it was all about the money, not the soul; I hated it. So, I am following my heart to enhance the time of development while pursuing a new career that I am excited about. 8 years ago, I took a one-on-one in-person photography course, but I never did anything with it. I didn't dare to change my career and work as an individual. But now I know, and it feels much better than what I had before that. I fetched my old DSLR, which cost a lot back then, and I am starting a new online photography course. I created my social media pages and website, and I am ready to start this new journey. This feels very good, cause creating renders in Daz is basically digital photography in a 3D space. Now I will also do that in real life, which will benefit the game visuals. Both gigs will complement each other, and I'll learn from both of them as my clients will get the best results I can give them both in the game and in photography. Still, all I want to do is develop my game. I wish I had enough income from it so I won't need to compensate with other things, but this is life, and I aim only to develop my game, so it will happen eventually. But sometimes we need to make a few adjustments in life. That's it about my life for now.
