Altered Destiny V0.08 Progress Report #12 - Release Window?!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey everyone,
     I usually post my week's progress report on Fridays, but I'm doing it one day early this week. Why? Because before the end of the night, I will have reached the end point of V0.08's content.
     I still have a scene and a half to write/code together, but for the most part, the images and animations are created. I biggest thing right now is that I have a decent backlog of animations needed to be rendered. The last two scenes of the update alone have a total of 16 animations at likely over 1800 frames to render. I have my secondary computer rendering these animations 24/7, and now that I image creating/rendering is done, I can use my main computer to essentially double the speed. I'll even attempt to use my laptop to try and do some of the work if it can.
     There's still some work to be done, such as updating the gallery, fixing any missed graphic bugs, and some small planned additions to new scenes that would likely add 15-20 images in total, but that's about it. By the time I get all these other stuff done, I'll just be waiting on these animations to finish. Once that happens, I will be uploading the BETA version.
This will be the biggest AD update to date in terms of image/animation count. As a rough estimate, you're looking at 620+ unique images and over 50 animations. It'll overall end at a big story moment along with a nice surprise. Very excited to get it out to everyone. Not long now!
