Hi!
Good news only! Again!
I’m almost done with all the static renders for Episode 8.1. Just a few more days of rendering left, and every scene will be complete, which is always a good milestone to hit.

So, what can you expect? Plenty of action. I’ve finished both the simpler scenes and the more complex ones, including a 30-render combat sequence that was tough to put together but came out exactly how I envisioned. There are also some very challenging scenes on the writing side, especially the one I mentioned before, easily the hardest I’ve ever written. Since this is only the beginning of Season 3, I think it makes for a really strong start. It sets the tone perfectly, and now it’s just a matter of following through and finishing the story.

We’re down to the final stretch: just four more episodes left until the full game is complete. Episode 9.2 will be the final one, which means we’re getting very close to wrapping up the whole project. It’s honestly kind of wild to think about.

As for what I’ve been working on lately, I spent the weekend rendering and also coding in music, sound effects, and the gallery. At this point, aside from the last batch of static renders, the only thing left is animations. And yes, there will be plenty of those (as always), but cloud rendering continues to help a lot. I’m still on track for what I said earlier:

Episode 8.1 is releasing in November.

In the meantime, don’t forget—Season 2 launches on Steam October 30th!

That’s it for now. Back to work for me!

Take care!
