Dev Update - 2026/01/09
Hey everyone,
Back to the Friday schedule...
Not a lot of new stuff to talk about, though.
Got back to work, game, and job, caught a bit of the flu... the usual stuff at the start of the year. ;-)
I'm still in the process of getting back into things and to my normal schedule (the flu doesn't help with that...), and so far I'm doing okay, I think.
I set up some more renders for the first few scenes. I'm now on the 3rd scene, which is a little longer than the first two.
Besides that, I'm still organizing the scenes I want to have in this Chapter.
One idea I had through Christmas, and which was brought up on Discord a few days ago (by someone else), was to split the Chapter based on paths into two parts.
I've never been a fan of half-releases, but in this case, it might make sense because there will be two completely independent paths for Chapter 8, Álfheimr, and "the rest."
Both were planned for CH8 because everything happens at the same time.
I haven't made up my mind about this; maybe I'll do a poll in the future.
If you have ideas or feedback about this idea, feel free to post them in the comments.
The numbers for CH8 as of now:
57 new static renders for a total of 90
0 animations
117 new lines in the script file for a total of 596
Have a nice weekend and stay healthy.
Cheers,
Ceo

You are not making it easy for yourself... Having two paths that go to completely different locations, meaning that you will work your ass off creating a lot of renders that some players won't see... I don't envy you! Anyway, half-release or not, for me as a player it doesn't matter, you choose.
First, get healthy again, it got me also yet, naturally not in my working time, no i always get ill when i have my free days...😡 Second, i like the idea somewhat about the path splitting...i think this makes sense to some extent...👍 Third - Dir auch schönes Wochenende Ceo ! 🫡
haha, I know that feeling. It's usually my "approach", too - get sick on the first day off. But it seems this year I'll try it the other way around - got sick the first day of work :-D Hope you'll feel better quickly!
