Time for new report! Yay?

Good news, I've made some progress from last report. Bad news, I'm still struggling mentally. I did have a few devs reach out in the last couple of weeks for their support, which I'm thankful for, as they understand it the most. There is no denying or avoiding it, I'm pushing through a major lack of dopamine after game releases. It's always the hardest around 60-90% of the game update progress, when you pass the halfway mark and lose the big stored positivity of last release, but also don't get the rush of the very last stretch before it's out. And with what I'm doing and amount of work, it's just even more amplified.

But that's on me, and I'll have to find ways to battle it. I guess rendering butts helps a bit 😁
And speaking of rendering, yeah, okeyish progress since last one. Finally finished Avis's cafe section. Unfortunately her heel shoe broke... Like actual bug/glitch. I posted it on my server, but for some reason her shoe (only one) would start stretching more and more continuosly, going into the ground 🤣🤣That was a small setback, as I tried to fix it but found no solution. But yeah, that brings us to 1820 total ep2 renders, +170 from last report. And with that, all ep2 stuff besides the beach is fully done.

And the beach was an interesting part. To try occupy my struggling mind, I made all clothes/outfits for beach + the hotel part, so essentially I have all outfits for end of ep2 + half of ep3 (as hotel is quite lengthy). That's good, I think most outfits will be well received ^.^
And speaking of the beach, the map of it. Uhhh... Yeah old was made out of items and had some issues, from low quality sand, the sea color etc. After researching and trying some stuff, I decided to commission a brand new map. I'd say it was worthy of the $ investment! It took a few days of back and forth as there were a few back, some limitations etc., but overall, I'm extremely happy what Fouetty cooked for me. The picture is only a preview for the map and outfits, so while not render ingame it's very similar to what you'll see.
Call it a little gift from me for the patience. I don't want to post side to side pic with old ep2 render, it ruins the post 🤣

Oh, and I was the first it seems to discover a very specific bug with certain clothes on big maps. I guess hooray for the bug finder Kat? 😑

That's all for now, thanks for patience, and as always
Love you,
Kat <3
