Last Report Before My Vacation (Patreon)

Good afternoon,

we're again close to the weekend but before I begin mine I wanted to give you another review of the past week as well as a short overview on things I want to work on after the two weeks are over.

So first about the past week: I've been working mostly on the last outside map as well as the daily cycles for Elisabeth, Abraham and Lilly. The other thing I've started to work on are sprites for cows, a renovated barn (outside and inside). The latter will probably need some more adjustments as I still have to make up my mind how I want to show cows inside the barn that doesn't take too much space (After all the wagon project with Kate still has to work in there). I've also started working on the alternative progression for the renovation of the MC's house (yeah, it's going to happen). And of course there were some more bugs that got reported and needed my attention.

So much for what I did over the week, now lets talk about what's coming next.
First there is now a two week vacation that I will be on... Please don't expect any replys here or on discord during that time, I might check in from time to time, but if it's not really really important I want to relax a little.
After the two weeks I will work on a few things that I had on my to do list for a while now but never really could fit into any update. There is for example the Deep forest map (near Rumah) that still has the old rpgmaker graphics. I wanted to rework this map a long time ago but never had the time to do so. Then there is again working with Blender on my to do list... I still weren't able to get that water splash animation going and I want to pick up on that as it really could improve future scenes. Another topic (but probably too big for the two weeks) is the work on an ui overlay for an android version of the game. - While I know this sounds exciting, It would also mean extra work with every update. Still, it is something I wanted to do for a while now, and maybe I can get a few more steps into the direction of getting it done. And then of course there is more progression with Penny's update that I would like to work on.

So you can see the list of things on the to do list is long, and I don't expect that I actually can get everything done in the two weeks after my vacation. I also plan to not work full time in those weeks (after all this is still relax time, but as you know I love working on such things). I will also finally want to play some games that I have on my pile of shame (still wasn't able to play BG3 and I hope to draw some inspiration from that).

Oh, I forgot to talk about the elefant in the room which is the title image of this post ;)
The rest of the scene doesn't exist yet, but this is a scene I would like to add into Penny's update as well. So you can see it as a small teaser of things that I will work on in August.
I will also most likely write at least one more report in July about things that I was able to get done.

So much for now, but now it's time to pack and get ready for the trip!
I wish you all a nice weekend!
