Firebreak Dev Update #3

It's already devlog time again!

Hopefully seeing updates from us twice a week feels like an improvement over our introverted approach to updates before.

As the year begins to wind down, we are beginning to see the chapter coming together.

Kent continues to churn out art at a prolific rate with nearly 700 renders complete.

Sound and music selection has also made small, but concrete steps in the right direction.

The flow of the initial chapter is feeling very good to me at the moment, and is doing a good job of peeling the story onion without giving away too much about what lies at the center.

General chapter progress aside, the last week has really focused on tool refinement, and even some education.

While we started with no experience in development, and we've certainly gained knowledge through the School of Hard Knocks, some things benefit from a more focused learning regimen, and as such I've been immersing myself in formalized Python training while using what little downtime I have to understanding model development.

Hopefully these skills will allow me to do some things I simply lacked the knowledge to do in Chasing Sunsets.

While development is moving forward full bore, this is also the time of year when family obligations compete for our attention, but as always we'll both do our best to not let that impact our tempo.

We're approaching a year into DAZ 2025, and the tool is still not functional enough for Kentyrr to create art on, even if I'm using it to render without issues. This means he's still running older GPU's until those shortfalls are addressed.

As winter approaches in the northern hemisphere, we at Stone Fox wish you truly blessed holidays. Early in the new year, we should be able to start forecasting a launch date for what we've been working on. We think it will have been worth the wait, and hope that when the time comes, you agree!

Stoya.

Hey guys, I'd like to apologize for my miscalculation and not taking EU people into account for the Quiz.

I'm pushing it one last time to next week end. In order to not mess much with the Dev Update, i'll upload a poll TOMORROW for you to vote. I'll offer 4 possibilities over the weekend ( 2 saturday and 2 sunday ) and go with the winner.

Once again, please accept my apologies for this.

Al.
