New Year's Day(e) Update 4/26/23

It's been a little over a month so I figured I'd drop an update on NYD:  

Things are progressing nicely. I finally decided on a trajectory for this leg of the story. I'm excited about it! I've finished the script  for chapter one while also outlining the series of events for chapter 2.  

The renders are done for about 2/3 of chapter 1 and the coding is  nipping at the heels of that.

My main focus for the remainder of my self-allotted time will be to work  in some actual "real" animations. I don't know why they're so difficult  for me, but they are. Anyone with Daz animation experience is welcome  to chime in and help me out. I'd really appreciate it. I feel like as  soon as I figure out the basics, I'll be good, but I'm having a hard  time grasping it.  

Anyway, this is going to be a lot of fun. As I said before, this is  going to be a MUCH bigger project than Christmas Eve. To give you an  idea of what I mean, Christmas Eve's entire script was 94 pages long in Google  Docs. So far CHAPTER 1 of NYD is looking like it's about 60 pages. So...  That's not to say all the chapters will be that intense, but I think it  bears mentioning.   

All this being said, the release date has not changed. I'm still giving  myself at least until mid-June if not longer - I really want this to be  good for you all.   

Anyway, thanks for reading, thanks for following, and I hope you like  what I have in store for you. Till then...
