A dev's life - "Betriebsblind"

Added 2023-07-18 21:10:01 +0000 UTC

We have a word for when you can't see the problems because you deal with them every day.

It's called "Betriebsblind", "operational blindness". The 1:1 translation doesn't make any sense, but basically it means "when you work on a project for too long you don't see the problems anymore".

I've played through chapters 1-3 10+ times in the last few months, and just yesterday I played through for 10+ hours. And there are still things I haven't seen.
Frustrating.
And I guess even with a one week absensce from the game it wouldn't be better.

Luckily I have some help with that ;) Thanks guys, you are awsome!

Anyway, I've been playing through the update the whole day, fixing this, editing that. Doing some fill-in renders and so on.

I still need to do some post-production work on the renders and the animation, add some music and SFX.

I'm not calling this a release announcement, because the proofreaders need some time too.
But... I'm more than happy where I am at the moment.

It took a lot longer than originally planned, but I'm happy with the result. And I'm curious to hear what you will say.

Thanks for your support, next post will be a release announcement.
