What did we do this week? (April 8th 2021)

Fei : The polish phase of Chapter 1 has begun! I left my side job to have full focus on Neon Tail. The accumulated fatigue wore me down too hard, and stopping it immediately gave me a powerful second wind. I'm working hard and feeling good.

Hopefully the hard work will bear its fruit in the form of a salary...

Anyway, I've reworked the main menu, added many details and a tiny bit of narratives in the camera angles.

I've restructured the whole Missions orders, and fixed the Ghost System, while recoded the whole basic tutorial. The rework shall soften the learning curve and add simple and chill exercices to teach the very basics of my skating system in a way slower pace.

I've also fixed an incredibly hard to fix bug, with the camera going wild during a save, and I also fixed a bug with not being able to hop off vertical slopes.

I fixed the music volume bug on startup fixed Optrellian's shrug animation, added a Ruby receiving superpower animation and started sculpting an alien plant. I want the plant to look elegant while very alien, not necessarily in a creepy or scary way.

第一章的打磨階段已經開始了！我辭掉了副業，全身心投入到霓虹之尾上。這個副業日積月累的疲勞讓我累垮了，停下了這些，我又恢復了精力。我正在努力開發中，感覺很好。

希望辛勤的工作能結出豐碩的果實，以一份薪水的形式回報。

不管怎樣，我重新設計了主功能選選單，增加了許多細節和並在鏡頭角度中進行了一些敘述。

我重新構建了整個任務順序，修復了幽靈系統，同時重新編寫了整個教學關卡。重新修改後的教學關卡，讓學習曲線不再這麼陡峭，添加簡單和令人覺得有趣富有挑戰性的關卡，以一種較慢的速度來教遊戲中的滑冰系統的基礎技巧。

我還修復了一個難以置信的難以修復的bug，這個bug會使在紀錄喝飲料時鏡頭變得瘋狂；也修復了一個無法跳下垂直斜坡的bug、啟動時的音樂音量錯誤、奥崔利恩的聳肩動畫。新增了一個露比接收超能力動畫。開始雕刻一個外星植物。我想讓這種植物看起來優雅，但又很陌生，不一定要讓人毛骨悚然或害怕。

Leo: Hello, guys!

I haven't written any update since last month. Remember when I said I will show some of my favorite locations on my riding bicycle route?

This is a bicycle lane in the middle of Taiwan named Houfeng Bikeway. Luckily I just live near it so I come to ride it almost every weekend. This is a small round trip of about 2 hours, and beside the mountain road when I come back to my sweet mountain lodge, I don't need to spend too much effort during most of the excursion.

There are farmlands, trees, bridges and tunnels... lots of different views on that path. It's very suitable for a relaxing physical activity after a whole week of heavy work. And sometimes new ideas emerge during the ride. So I'd recommend this routine if you ever got the opportunity.

哈囉，大家好久不見了，還記得我之前承諾要介紹我的腳踏車騎乘路線嗎?這次我來介紹一條漂亮的路線，這是位於台中的后豐鐵馬道，很幸運的，因為我住在這附近所以我幾乎每個周末都會來這裡騎一趟。這是一趟往返大約2個小時的兜風之旅，除了回程時的山路之外，基本上不會花費太多力氣，路途中會經過農田，林道，大橋跟隧道，擁有各種景色，非常適合在一周密集的工作之後做一個適度的放鬆，而且在騎車時偶而也會有新點子降臨，非常建議大家嘗試。

Yang: We've started recently to polish Chapter 1, and we're also planning on displaying Neon Tail on Game Vket's exhibition, an online VR game show event. (https://www.game.v-market.work/)

I'll also add a newsletter on our webpage, as it is a convenient way to create a form using firebase cloud database.

It will help us send important news about Neon Tail, such as an official release date.

我們最近開始了打磨第一章的內容，另一方面我們也參加了支援VR的線上電玩展會 - Game Vket。(https://www.game.v-market.work/)

我會在火箭果汁官頁上加上電子報訂閱的功能，將來用來通知玩家們關於Neon Tail的重要訊息，例如發售日期等。
