Good day Citizens,
I hope everyone's doing fine today. I wanted to let everyone know that I am working on SL, but my time has been significantly limited due to classes. I don't have an exact time for when we'll have this update ready, but I know for sure that it may take a while. If things go according to plan, this update will be on the fairly larger scale, at least in terms of renders, dialog, animations. I'm everything ends up well. That being said, again, I haven't been able to devote my full-time to the project. With the semester having started, I've only been able to work a few days on SL so far. I can honestly say, we are not even close to completion. Script has barely been started and I'm still not 100% sure on what I want to do for the scene.
So yeah, I just wanted to let everyone know that we will probably be entering a drought on content for a while. Again, I am working on SL whenever I have free time, but usually on the later parts of the week (like the weekends). This week, for example, I'll have today, Friday, and the weekend to work and I'm so happy to continue with the script. I think there's going to be at least 5 sections before we're done, but we'll see.
On a brighter note, I'm just so relieved that the Android version has been well-received with no complaints so far. This means I don't have to worry about the 2 GB bullshit limit, and can go ham on my animations. I actually limit the time of my animation loops because of this constraint. Now that it's gone, I'm hoping to make better/longer animations in the future. We'll see how it affects performance though. I also want to note that the server I'm currently using to host SL mobile download may need to be upgraded soon. I don't know how much I need so far, but I'm at the bare minimum for now. We'll see how things go in the future.
So to reiterate, we will be entering a drought for SL as I take care of RL bullshit. The game is always being worked on during my free time and I don't do anything really to jeopardize this. SL is my main source of income, and without it, I won't be able to sustain myself. That being said, I don't want it to feel like a job, because the moment it does become a job, it may affect how I feel about "working" going into the future. The project was originally created as a hobby and for fun, and I want to maintain that feeling moving into the future.
As always, thank you all for your continued support. It's already been about 2 weeks and we're barely even 10% done this update. I haven't even started renders yet, and am still in the brainstorming/script process. I have a bunch of time starting today until the weekend, so I'm going to try and get as much done as I can.
