Hello everyone,
It's been a while since our last update! To be honest, the burnout from the previous status continued. Because of that, we took a one week break to rest and clear our heads. We are feeling much better now!
When we came back from our break, we looked closely at how we work. We realized that jumping straight from the script to 3D renders was slowing us down and wasting a lot of time.
To fix this, we spent about a week and a half changing our process. We decided to focus a lot more on storyboarding before we even touch the 3D software.
The good news is that this new plan works perfectly! By planning the scenes out first, we can work much faster and avoid having to fix things later. We are fully using this new method now, and everything is moving a lot smoother.
Also, before I forget, we've finished rendering the animations in Scene 8.
After all this talk, let's get to the scenes to see how the new system helped us with the latest scene.
Scene 4: Started this one 3 days ago. Normally, this one would take us around 4-7 days to finish, but with the new storyboard, it was hella faster. Currently, we've posed around 150 and rendered 120 images.
Lastly, we want to thank you for the 11k wishlist on Steam! It means a lot. Also, we've started considering releasing the Greyvale on Steam in EA. Since the episode sizes for the Greyvale are really big, the release should be around the 6- 8-hour mark. We started considering it after getting tons of messages asking for a Steam release date, and we wanted to take the Steam release pressure off our shoulders. Anyway, it's still a thought, but we'd like to hear your thoughts on it.
