Hello my pretties! It's time for the final progress update/report for Chapter 4, and boy are there some big things to talk about! Since I completed my move, my productivity has sky rocketed, and it's been great.

Alright, let's get through the bread and butter and discuss the Chapter. It's been a hell of a journey. As of writing this post:

Overall design: 92%
Environments: 96%
Writing: 83%
Rendering: 72%
Animation: 78%
Code: 4%

I only have 3 scenes left to write. I know exactly where they are going, so it won't take too long. It's far easier to write at the end of the Chapter, than the beginning!

I have 5 scenes left to render, but the environments are ready to go for the most part. That is the most time consuming thing for me, creating my unique custom environments. Also, since I recently discovered the joy of the Render Queue, my rendering time has significantly improved!

Animations are mostly done. I have 4, maybe 5 left to do. Got another round of great animations for everyone to enjoy coming up :)

And finally, the code. The code is the easiest part for me. I have already started it, but will do the majority of it while rendering the final scene(s). There is one particular segment in this update that will be pretty tricky to code, but I have faith in getting it done.

So, that is the Chapter 4 update. I'm hoping to have C4 in the hands of the Beta Testers in about 10 days. If all goes well, I'll be able to roll out the update soon after that. Just as a reminder, with the release of Chapter 4, the price will be going up to $8.99. This is part of the process to make sure that the Itch price matches the planned price on other platforms, once Chapter 5 rolls out. Those of you who have already purchased the game, you'll continue to get all future updates at no additional cost!

As usual, the Chapter 4 download will include ALL content up to that release. Two months after the release of Chapter 4, I will make Chapter 3 available as a demo download.

Thank you everyone for your continued support! I couldn't do this without you, and I'm so glad to share in this journey with each of you!
