Development Update 9

Hope your imagination is running wild with this preview image. I've finished 108 renders, and when I scanned through them just now, I couldn't find a good one that wasn't spoiling too much.

That's why you're left with this one. Maybe someone can guess in which room this render was created. You've already seen this location in the game.

Okay, as I already mentioned, I started doing renders. 108 doesn't sound so bad, but to be honest, I was surprised when I counted them. I was hoping to do 200 renders for Episode 2.5, but it looks like I need 250-300 instead. Well, more content for you guys. 

I've also created a few animations. As always, it's painful to animate with Daz, but it's the devil, I know. In the end, I always get something half-decent, so it's okay.  In total, I have three animations for the next release. I'm not very keen to increase this number.

While I wait for my images to render, I have some time to use productively. That's why I decided to translate A Foreign World into German to keep me busy. It turns out this is a lot of work, but it's also quite fun. Today, I finished translating everything up to Episode 0.5. I think that should be 8.000 / 50.000 words.

I'm also working with Moskyx, who is creating a Spanish translation for A Foreign World. He already translated everything up to ep1.5, so his translation is only missing two updates (ep2 and ep2.5, which will release shortly).

I'm hesitant to share good news. It might not become a reality, but for now, it looks like A Foreign World's Steam launch will be a success. For two weeks straight, I gained 200 wishlists a day. This means that 4.800 people have indicated they want to buy A Foreign World, and this number is increasing at a scary rate.

Ah, and A Familiar World flopped. Maybe the game picks up with the release of A Foreign World, but I will probably just barely break even on that project. That's one reason I'm hesitant to say A Foreign World will be a hit because A Familiar World already performed below my expectations. Maybe A Foreign World will too? It's pretty much impossible to tell. We will have to wait and see.

Anyway, I plan to release Episode 2.5 before or right around the 06th of February. That's what I've planned, but this date might change. Especially the German translation, and a proper testing phase might delay the release. 

Keep your eyes open for new information.

Until then, Enjoy!
