You romantic lot, you. The winner of last week's poll is Sea and the MC in a romantic setting, and should be very much in line with Sea's personality. It's going to be a fun set to render, and will be unlocked by finding one of those collectibles throughout the episode.
Misc. mishaps this week
Lots of things happened last week. On Saturday my main computer broke down. Spent most of Sunday, trying to fix it, but eventually deciding on buying parts to build a mostly new one. The parts arrived on Tuesday, but unfortunately my old CPU fan was not compatible with my new motherboard/CPU combination, so had to order a new fan too. Got the new fan yesterday, assembled everything and started re-installing all my software/3d assets, which has just completed as I type this.
Luckily, my render rig was fixed and upgraded a few months ago, so I could keep doing beta-test corrections on that, and keep it rendering animations during the night, during dinner and other times I was not actively using it (reminded me of when I made LoF, and had to optimize just about every hour of the day). :)
But don't worry, I'm still very much on track for the release date of November 8th with both computers up and running again, but it's going to be a heck of a busy week (rolls up sleeves).
There will be no dev update next Friday. Hopefully you'll all be enjoying the new episode by then.
Have yourself a lovely weekend, and stay safe out there.

You know it's OK to lower your shoulders every now and then. Just don't tell Jan. Cheers!

Excited about the new episode! Sorry to hear about the hardware issues. I'm sure nobody would blame you for releasing a little later if it comes down to it. Thanks, Drifty!
