0.8 Progress update

Added 2025-09-03 07:21:07 +0000 UTC

Hi,

It can be hard to estimate a real number on progress percentage, since certain parts go quicker than others, but version 0.8 is coming along. Coding has become quite fast now, while rendering is still the bottle neck.
The game development is essentially split into 3 parts: Writing, rendering and coding.
There is a lot of post processing done on the renders, but I've got that streamlined down to where it is a quick process.

I'm pretty much constantly writing so that's an easy portion, although some of it is edited after the coding is finished. Each scene is written separately in script format. Version 0.8 will add 11+ new scenes of varying length.

I can't put an accurate number on how many renders there will be, since that can vary a lot depending on the scene length and if there are animations. Currently I have made about 500 renders finished for version 0.8 and I expect that number to be closer to 3000 when it is finished. For example, the raw 0.7 working folder was 27 gigabytes in size and has 8,993 files, but that includes the photoshop files, original+filter version of every render and all the animation frames and files, representing everything I make before finally optimizing it to input into the game where it is all distilled down to probably 500mb or 1gb in size.

Looking forward to sharing it with you when it is ready. Thank you all for your continued support.
