Dev Update #23 (Patreon)

Oh we are getting closer and closer!

450 renders now, I even redid a scene with Katie so that ate into some of the time, but well worth it, as you can see above. There are 20 animations done and a couple others setup and ready to go. Those I will render out during the work week.

Also, speaking of Katie renders, I'll be starting the custom renders for the month tonight. Hope to get that to you guys soon.

As for the script side of things I got a good chunk done last weekend and started off pretty good today as well. I will admit that is probably the part I struggle with most. I end up writing something then thinking it over then re-writing it over and over. But, its coming along nicely and hope to get more big chunks done tomorrow and Monday. When custom renders go at 4k it is nice to sit down with the script for a good hour and just write.

I also had someone help me out to do some nice imagery for the main patreon overview page to spice it up. It was always pretty dull before. So, made that more attractive for that whole marketing thing I am terrible at.

So, another thing. Speaking of marketing I have had some patreons ask me to help out specific other devs in the sense of cross promotion. I personally have never really had issue with this as long as the dev was nice, hard working, and putting out a fun project. It is not something I have ever done, though. I have given shoutouts before, but I never expected anything in return. I know it is a good way to market myself but at the same time I remember the days when some devs basically survived doing that without doing work. That was what turned me off it in the first place. But, seeing guys like hopes and such starting to do it, but being selective about the process is making me question if I just have a poor bias against using them.

That one I would love feedback on. Do you think its overall a good thing? A bad thing? And why?

Thanks guys,

And as always stay awesome!
