Quick status update

Hi all.

Priority one is getting Naturalis released to early access. You might think it's as simple as just putting it out there... but I want it done right, and I try not to feel like I'm in a hurry to get it done, even though it's basically the one thing holding back further development.

I also haven't promoted my Patreon much at all for months, yet people still find their way here somehow - for that I'm very grateful! It's been great to see. 😍

However due to that long publicity blackout, I'm working extra hard on this promo video. I'm trying new things (at least new to me): AI voice acting, cinematic camera movements using Timeline+Embody, better use of post processing effects like motion blur, and possibly machine learning based frame interpolation and video upscaling as well. The final high resolution output will be available subscribers.

In the vein of doing things right, I want to ensure the user experience is as good it can be in the Naturalis early access version.

First, I'll move the Settings window behind a button that can be accessed from both the TittyMagic and BootyMagic UI, and get rid of the third plugin slot. That involves some restructuring and testing, but it's good for the long term. Those settings aren't accessed that often, and they're probably more convenient to access from the plugin UI anyway. Probably should've done it that way to begin with.

Second, I will look into repurposing the in-plugin presets implementation from Expression Randomizer into both BootyMagic and TittyMagic, so that presets can easily be saved and loaded for the plugins independently - hopefully that will be about as straightforward to do as I imagine it to be.

Besides that, I'm working on technical improvements to my workflows when it comes to things like how my Patreon releases (and to some extent free releases as well) are organized, built, packaged and published. It's a bit too early to say how that will affect users, but that's taking some of my time right now.

That's about it for now, back to keeping the ball rolling... 😉
