v0.2.0 Progress Update #1
Added 2023-06-09 15:13:06 +0000 UTCHey Everyone!
I've been working hard on the next update of Eruption Imminent and wanted to give you a little progress report. First things first: I don't have a release date for you yet.
I finished writing Chapter 2 and started doing renders. So far around 140 renders are done, with about 50% of them already rendered and post-processed.
Now, the thing is, I underestimated the size of Chapter 2 quite a bit. I'm all done with the writing now, and going by dialog lines it's about twice the size of Chapter 1. This will probably amount to roughly twice the render count as well.
I'm currently still debating if I'm releasing Chapter 2 as one update (like originally planned) or if I'm going to split the chapter into two releases. I'd prefer it if you all experience the new chapter in one go instead of arbitrarily cutting it in half somewhere in the middle. But I also don't want people to wait forever for the next update, so I might have to do the pragmatic thing here.
I'll be off work from my daytime job for the next three weeks and I plan on working full time on Eruption Imminent during that time. So hopefully I'll get a good chunk done until the end of June. Don't expect a new release this month, though. I'll keep you posted, thanks for being patient.
Also, I'll start posting previews next week, so look forward to that :)

So long as you stay engaged with your audience and keep momentum going, I think you'll be fine.
