🕑 Added 2021-08-11 18:01:01 +0000 UTCWell I guess I just need to get the news out of the way, if you frequent my Discord you already know what's up so feel free to skip this and go straight to the progress report.
For those who were unaware, last Wednesday evening I recieved a phone call informing me that one of my oldest friends had passed away. Given our relatively young age this came as something of a shock and it threw me off my workflow a good amount. I can't pretend our relationship was the best (in fact Davis and Valentines friendship is much based on our irl one.) But regardless it's never easy losing a friend like that. I'm not telling you this as a "boo hoo woe is me" thing. I just have always strived to be as transparent with you all as possible because I believe it fosters a more positive relationship between us. Those who have been around here a long time will probably remember that this isn't the first death I've dealt with since I started developing games.
Now if anybody is worried I want to assure you that I'm okay. I took the time I needed to get myself in order and have been slowly getting back to work. It's not the speed I'd like it to be at, but baby steps right? I appreciate everybody's patience with me as I navigate this time.
Progress report:
Writing is at 99%. The final draft is currently out for proofreading and when it returns I'll make all the needed changes and pop that to 100%
738 renders complete with full postwork. Not as much time with these in the past week, for above reasons, but we're picking up some more steam.
No news on animations this week.
Coding is sitting at a nice 30%. I expect it will sit there until I get my finalised script back, then it will start ticking up.
I'm going to get back to work now. Of final note I want to say that the service for my friend will be this weekend and as such I'm going to delay our 5 and up post until Monday.
Thank you as always for your support, and this week give somebody you care for a hug, just let them know that they matter. Take care of yourselves.
Sláinte.
