Hello fellow Pandalorians!

I have another development log for you, keeping you updated while you wait for me to stop doing them and finally announce a release date. :-P But sorry, it's not that time yet.

At the moment, I'm still working on creating renders for the current update. After that, I will work on the audio, and then programming-related stuff will follow, like save file syncing, automatic update notifications, fixing a couple of still existing but very rare bugs, and a lot more. I also want to try and squeeze in a fix for the language files. At the moment all language files are being loaded. They're not just there, but are actively loaded on startup, totally disregarding whether the language is active or not, so that's something I want to fix before the 0.4 (public) release (this might especially increase loading speed for the web version). That's not really necessary for the early access release, in my opinion.

Regarding the renders, I didn't count them after the last time, but I'm roughly at 900 right now. Two more scenes to go, so I'll probably reach the 1200-ish mark in the end. I'm also getting a bit more comfortable with animations here and there, though I can't add too many, since those can be especially time-consuming and I still want to release 0.4 this year! :D

I'm currently trying to figure out if I want to adjust the hair shader on the characters as well. Some characters look fire with it, others… a bit off, in my opinion. I might share some shots in a later dev log or a possible future sneak peek!

That's it for today guys, thanks for sticking with me while I'm slowly finishing up Chapter 4. From what I can see so far, it looks good to me. I haven't brought everything together yet, with music and everything, but the overall vibe is to my liking! :) Thank you all for the continuous emotional and financial support, and I hope you all have a great week ahead of you!

Your, 
Panda
