[Cora's Bedroom Revamped]
Happy to share with you all that the bedroom remodelling was an overwhelmingly resounding success, I haven't done the most extreme of stress testing but I was able to have 3 characters in the room, and changing multiple outfits and reloading the room repeatedly with zero crashes (something that's super common in the heavily detailed rooms due to TK's outdated af 4GB hard memory limit). So happy to say the next animation for Halloween will defs be taking place in the new room ^^.

[Pheromonal Cosmic Powers]
As such I've decided to redo the Club G0th room as this was a common issue especially when it came to those 4 character scenes and I'm just so mad at my past self for making such an unoptimized room XD.

For comparison, the original room without any modifications and all props, 1,776,195 tris; then Club G0th V1, where I gutted it and without props (as in couches, tables n such), 399,073. This attempt so far where I've retained waaaaay more detail I've reduced down to 354,323 tris (which is barely a third of Cora's Bedroom) and so have way more room to decorate and still retain far better performance. Already the room runs smoother in TK atm without props or furniture.

[Textures]
A big help is just understanding how to share textures better, the club room itself shares a lot of textures which I accidently made too many redundant files the first time around, I also then understood how to do the UVs for the posters better so this time there's waaaay more variety in the posters with higher quality but also far less of a performance hit.

[2 videos in 1 MONTH WOW]

Firstly I've compiled the Cora week videos into a full length animation with added sound effects etc and atm I just need to add all of Midnight Datura's VA work (which I recieved recently) and am debating on getting an entirely new title card artwork or reusing an older art piece but hoping for the first half of next month.

After that I ofcourse aim to have the next video on Halloween as per tradtion featuring our girls Cora and Lillith with a twist of the pole kind if you get me ;).
