Progress 30.10.2023
Man, it's been a painful few days, and it continues. As with TRS2, and to a point with Sorcerer, there aren't really ready made sets for what I want. Therefore, there are a lot of set building ahead of me. That and render times are a bit higher than I would want to but, alas, it happens. But that being said, rendering is going decently, slowly but going forward. And almost done with the first half of the initial release, so I am schedule with it.
Writing is going, getting used to writing again instead of just rendering. Granted, the long render times help with it. The changes I wanted to do to the update 6 are completed so now it is just going forward with it.
Portion of this environment was ready-made... but it wasn't suitable like that, so had to expand it, a lot. Well, there are a couple of options that I'll be trying again soon. Assuming the tool decides to work properly. Releases some resources, not that I'm running out of them at the moment.
And what are these? Well, to state the obvious portraits. I listened to the feedback and now there is a small character portrait showing who is talking. Not everyone has a custom portrait as is, namely those people who aren't important enough to know. But that might change in the future for those people if I decide to make them important. It's funny how many things you need to do before you can release anything. Main menus screens, customising the UI, and so many other things. And I still need to do icons... blah. I'm so not good at that. Anyway, no point moaning, onwards!

Will the new VN have character tab like TR2?
Yes, and then some more since there is some information that I need to convey to make things easier for everyone.
so you said the mc treats a certain woman badly due to good reasons will we be seeing that on fist release?
I wouldn't say treating badly, just being a dick. While the reason is understandable the behaviour could be better, and that change is up to you. And yes, it is in the first release. And you get to see why the cold behaviour, hooray for nightmares! Also I've already shown it in one of those "render only ministories" a long time ago. Edit: And to add things, he does get called upon the behaviour. Is that how you put it? Regardless.
Is this connect to the sorcerer
No, this is something else. It does share similar elements but more sword and sorcery than urban fantasy.
I just finished sorcerer again to prep myself for the next VN. Had to get somewhat into the right mind set. Found a couple of things I didn't notice before, so it's always a good idea for me to run through a VN again. Plus I really like it! Thank you for the renders.
It's always fun to hide things in images, and in wording. Although the latter isn't always intended, just a side effect of the characters and their personalities.
