Monthly update: Water Sports Edition

It's the end of the month again and time for the good old status update! I released 0.3 a bit over a month ago, and after that, Alice was voted to have her story done next. Since then, I have mostly been planning and writing the story and it will probably take at least another month before the first draft is ready. Amy's story was the longest yet with about 75,000 words and over a hundred rendered images. I aim to make 0.4 and Alice's story to be roughly similar in length. Meanwhile, I have been mostly publishing some older cut content and some exclusive renders for higher tier patrons.

Other, smaller news:

* Android release for 0.3 incoming "soon", I have been doing some small optimizations and changes to save battery. Shader effects are also completely disabled on mobile devices for now.

* Interactive 3D scene demo and technology (I posted about this earlier this month). Time will tell what will happen to this, but I will probably make a poll at some point to see how essential animations and/or interactivity are to people.

* Blender 2.8 was finally released literally a few hours ago. Its new real-time renderer will make rendering traditional, pre-rendered video animations a lot faster once/if I start working on them. I have already been doing some experiments with the pre-release versions, but it will take some time to convert all scripts, materials, settings, plugins, and other stuff to 2.8.

* Incoming: more renders that were cut from existing storylines (some need a bit more polishing and re-rendering). Also, I should soon be able to post brand new, Alice related art.

* New unique renders for 10$ patrons, also a vote about which girls will feature in those renders once the current beach scenario is done.

That's all for now! Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
