Hello,
So, I've recently returned from a forced five-day mountain vacation.
Even though I was set on sitting it out, I came across a very interesting video about mental health, and it said you should treat burnout as if it's inevitable.
No worries, I have no signs of burnout, but I found the video very interesting ...

Hello,
So...
Would you look at that... A Dev log with only good news.
Let's start with music.
I've secured "Some Days" & "Run" from Late kids for both games, and they also sent me a new song, which I will license with the next batch of music from them.
But the ...

So...
In a previous Dev Log, I wrote about the music issue and stuff... The bitterness that came with it, and me not wanting to contact and deal with them.
Turns out, actually mentioning it to someone (you guys) has helped me deal with it.

Hello,
So, first the two bad news.
If you saw the last WiAB Dev Log, you can skip the music part.
From the last WiAB Log:

So, where are we...
60 seconds of the 1:30min intro cinematic are done. (Bellchen intro).
The render queue has around 190 renders in it, and I kinda fucked up by not disabling the Windows update in the past two days.

I also increased the weekly hours I put into Blender. I feel like I don't make enough progress there.
Future Treats will mostly be done there. (At least for the characters I've already port...

Yo,

I'm around 935 renders in. I didn't make the four-digits, but that's alright as other aspects of the game are now in active development too. (The phone.)

Hello,
So, I've returned from my forced-Doggo-Sitting trip.
It was much worse than expected. I barely slept due to my doggo being a drama queen (Thanks Mom.) and allergy hit me hard.

Hello,
First of all: I called this Dev Log #1 because it's the first solely dedicated Chapter 5 Dev Log.
Second of all, usually, there wouldn't be an SG Dev Log today, but a promise I made over a year ago now bit me in the ass.
Over a year ago, I made a promise to my Mother to doggo-sit my own dog... (...

Hello,
I'm on the finish line for the Chapter 2 rework, a few more renders, and some postwork and it's mostly done. (I will do the cinematic at a later point.)
Chapter 5 is around 70 renders in, and I'm breezing through it. I have so much more drive for the new chapters than reworking the old ones. ...

So, so, so...
I'm around 620 renders into the Chapter 2 rework. These damn reworks are like actual updates... At least they require the same amount of work.
But at least there's only one left afterward.
There's not much to say, so let me just show you some comparisons a...

The log is a few days late, and I had hoped I'd not need to make another one but well... Here we are.

Then a week later, I flew back and spen...
Hello,
So, the first Dev Log after the initial Beta release.
I suspect that I will need two Dev Logs to finish the first half of the Chapter 2 rework that comes with Chapter 4.5 full.
I estimate says around 700-800 renders for the first half of Chapter 2.
Current stand: 350/800 renders.

Hello,
Here's a short Bibi Log about Chapter 4.5 and its current state.
But first, WiAB's now completely in postwork and testing.
It will release soon.
I know... I said there wouldn't be a cinematic in Chapter 4.5... But well... Life finds its way. There's now a very simple 51-second cinematic.
