Progress report 17

Time for another public report. In the previous, patron-only report I mentioned I've started mentally recovering, as I had a very difficult time period of work. And before anyone worries, I continued with the positivity! 😅
Similar to what I wrote there, and how I cleaned up a lot of files on my pc, as the negativity and depression made me clutter stuff more and more, I tried to apply that to work as well. Sometimes I joke with the "I'm sure future Kat will fix it", but it truly became a problem last few months, as whenever I stumbled upon a hurdle, I'd just postpone it for later.
And there was a lot of stuff I postponed...
So, I started dealing with it last ~2 weeks or so since last Patreon report. Sure, some stuff are normal to be postponed till later (such as music/sounds, I always do them at the end of an episode work), but the amount of comments I had in my script files of things I skipped in ep2 alone was just... Too much. Roughly 200 comments, many ignorable due to sounds, but many just skipped due to bad mental before.
Last 2 weeks ended up being spent on a lot of different things due to it, so... I guess a small list!
-> Halloween render done ( actually an animation, but I cant post videos so here is a render)
>> That also made me test animating in my new hs2 install, had some small issues with it and fixed it so we good now
-> Made 2 small anims I skipped before
-> 60 new renders (passed the 2 000 mark for ep2!)
-> Started fixing some of the renders in photoshop, re-rendered some I made a comment before needed fixing
-> Fixed multiple inconsistencies in dialogue, did my own crappy proofreading and sent the whole ep2 script to my real proofreader Scooter (he's almost done and he already said pain awaits me 🙄)
-> Together we already fixed some typing inconsistencies from ep1/2 as I always wrote sounds differently each time
-> Spent a day and a half looking at nipples 😂 (decided to improve our darker tone Raiko/Levy, as now when they actually feel darker skin with my ep4+ way of lightning, the bright red nipples they had were a bit out of place)
>> ... Also forgot I never changed all girls having shiny glossy nipples so I had to resave 200 cards one by one yay :katmoment:
This and some small bits cut the "comments" by more than a half, and I do feel lighter after doing all that. I'll continue tackling it for another day or two, and then go back to renders. Still the 4 smaller segments remain to be rendered on the beach, so probably ~400 left. Hoping to finish all of the big ep2 work till end of month.
As always, thanks for the patience, and love you all!

Hello Kat, I'm still behind the comments. I understand that working through things like this and seeing some success helps a lot. I often leave things lying around too and then they accumulate until it becomes unbearable for me. And then I close my mind and suddenly get a lot done at once. And every time afterwards I think: it wasn't that difficult and didn't take that much time. Why don't you do it the same way next time, then nothing will pile up? But then I leave it lying around again...
