Devlog#10: A good first impression.
Hello there !
It's been a month or so ever since the last dev update, so it's time to take some time to talk about where things are right now.
Tales of Unity:
As you may know, ToU is in a bit of a stand-by position, while I'm still working on Project: Jericho I also keep some ideas that could fit Tales of Unity better.
I am preparing Patch 0.10.5 which will contain a small chunk of content, and the patreon voted animation.
It'll be a minor patch, I'm mostly getting it out there so that I can stop recieving messages like "Is part 1 needed for part 2?"
The update will contain one animation with Lou, and one with Ame, Ame's animation though isn't cannon.
Project: Jericho:
P:J has been moving more or less steadily, a few days after I published the Alpha I got sick and remained a full week in bed, and only began working again on the project a week back.
It'll push back the public release for sure, but to make up for it, I'll release a second beta in a few weeks which this time will be available to 5$ patrons for testing a few days after 10$ patrons.
When it comes to content as of today, Project: Jericho contains around 250 renders the public total should be close to 600.
2 animations (There are three more that need to be done).
If you want to compare, ToU part 2 was 110 renders large with 1 new animation.
I do have to rework a few renders that could use a quality buff too, alongside finding a proper typo for the names and a new textbox, alongside of course new BGM.
But the project is moving nicely, I think I'll be able to get the beta out by the end of the month, and the full public build by mid / late december.
I apologize for the delay once again, I do want to take the time to make this first impression an absolute hit.
Stronk's personnal life:
As you may be aware, my life has been a bit in shambles as of 2021.
I kinda got over most problems, the main problem actually being my struggle to work, It's still mentally taxing to boot studio and work but I now do it and enjoy it once I begin working.
It was my main problem and I'm glad I got over it, now when it comes to family, things are a bit complex, my need for a new appartment are starting to show and it's something I have to keep at the back of my head, as you may know, I am back to living 100% off patreon, so I have to be careful with my spending and potentially check my rights for ways to get an appartment soon.
To do that I began checking with a psychiatrist for a full mental check up.
I really hope I can get myself something as small as a studio by mid 2023.
On that note, I hope you all have a great day or evening, take care of yourself and we'll see each other for the beta release and the next dev update, my DMs are open if you have any questions.
Have a good one!
