Progress 02.10.2023 (Patreon)

1300 items in the render folder, in three weeks of rendering. Normally, I do around 210 renders a week. It's a good pace as it allows the mind to relax and it allows things to go wrong. The current pace of 400+ renders a week? It is doable, but it's a killer in the long run. And no, before anyone asks, I'm fine. I sleep enough; I eat enough, and I do... whatever I need to do enough. So what is left? Five and half scenes, I had hoped it would be 5, but one of the more complicated posing scenes was done. So there is that. Although this messed up my plans, but that's nothing new, I'm afraid. Live and learn, I suppose. So...

And then we meet up with Rizei. Yeah, mixing things up here from normal, preview before writing stuff as I'm going to ramble a bit in that section. Anyway, let's continue. There is a lot of "dialogue" about how things are going, some I will show after everything, like the epilogue in Sorcerer. Meeting some people that are talked about, and some who weren't. Showing outside of the "city" as well.

Writing things, it's going alright. I had some concerns about the timing of things. There is, let's say, realistic travelling times. Now that creates a problem with certain story aspect. It is surprising how little people could travel during a day in medieval times. On foot and on horse, it's 30 miles per day on average, give or take, just that the time going from A to B is shorter with on horseback. There is an exception to this, with trained horses who could do 100 miles a day, but they would need two to three days' resting period after that. Thinking that, realistically, going from where I live to the next city, which is a one-hour trip nowadays, would take two to three days back then. Puts things into perspective. And now days there isn't the risk being eaten by wolves or bears.

In this setting, I'm not a fan of Sorcerer style "free for all" teleportation, it just creates problems. Which can be hand waved with more magic. That being said, I was browsing my assets, and I found a way that fit the lore of the setting... in more ways than one, to my surprise. And it limits accessibility to teleportation.
