1. General
The update is going along fine, it could be better but Covid is finally taking its toll on me. Due to the gym being closed for almost 6-7 months now, I found myself in a really shitty Work/Life balance.
I pretty much do the minimum amount of sport (Running/Yoga) to stay somewhat sane but I pretty much spend the rest of the day working on the games. The hours just fly by and before I realize it, another week has gone by and my mental health state declines.
No worries, I will not get depressed or some stuff like this. It's just that I am always tired. My energy levels have declined a lot but I am not the type to complain and not do something about it. If my budget allows it, I will buy a bike next month and try to get on a healthier base again. Being dead tired all the time really sucks.
Anyways, next month I'll buy a new bike and increase my daily sports input. Thanks to Coach Fali, my sleep schedule has improved a lot and is not weirdly rotating all the time.
I am currently building up a few good habits.
2. Benefits of the 3090.
With the 3090, some new possibilities did open up for me. I do value immersion a lot. And thanks to the 24GB, I am now capable of putting more characters into a scene.
It gives the scene a lot more life.
But- it comes at a price- a pretty heavy one at that. This scene up there did take 1h 6min to load up. Just to open the scene. (Drastically reduces the number of renders I can render overnight.)
Then another problem arrives. The scene lags like hell. There is a delay of 2-4 seconds with every action and sometimes my screen freezes for like 4 to 20 seconds.
It gives me flashbacks of the Camping trip in WiAB 0.5.
But in my opinion, it is worth it. (Even though it makes me sigh a lot of times.) Someday, If I can get my hands on a real Quadro-powered High-end system those shouldn't be a problem anymore.
3. Public Previews 4/13
Make sure to view them in full resolution.
This time I got quite a bunch of previews. (13 including the Mila one from above.)
The first results of Amber's therapy on another patient. 
An intimate bond. 
Quiet, but her eyes were filled with blazing fire. 
You can find 9 more previews in this POST.
This was the last Dev Log before the update.

For a one man team, you're doing fantastic. I hope you can keep motivated and keep working on this. It takes a lot of skills, from coding, to artistic, to just creating a game for an international audience. If there is anything practical slowing progress, I definitely recommend reaching out for help. I think most of us understand this isn't the easiest thing to work on.

Hope things get better for you bud. I've definitely been in that position and it's a hard one to pull away from.

Wow, Mila looked different with her new hairdo. She look great it. Not that her previous hairdo was bad... just like to see girls have a variety in their hairstyle throughout the game. "This was the last Dev Log before the update." Wait, what?! "Was"? Does that mean update is out already?! ;P Just kidding.

Having taken most of yesterday off to try to escape my own mind, I can relate. Your previews look fantastic as always. :)
Can absolutely relate to your state of mind re: Covid. It's how I feel these days, and as a former gym rat it's truly taking a toll (physically too with the lockdown kgs). Stay strong and take the time needed. Cheers and thanks for the update !
