Annotation to update 0.3
🕑 Added 2021-11-16 15:06:23 +0000 UTCToday I'm finally able to release update 0.3 (available in a separate post).
As I mentioned earlier, in terms of the story, this is a small update that covers one scene and the beginning of the second road scene. However, in terms of individual images/renders, it is by far the largest. This is why it has been so long since the previous update.
Also to the fact that I wanted to introduce much more advanced animations to the game than previous small attempts. I'm not entirely happy with the result, but I did gain some experience. The goals I set, and how I will do it in the future, are that the animations in appearance do not deviate from the rest of the game. It is often the case even in great games that the animation is not consistent with the rest of the game, the visual quality is weaker. To avoid this, I render each frame separately rather than as one whole animation. This is a technique that requires a lot of time on weaker hardware. It seems more natural to me. As I say I'm just a beginner when it comes to this topic and the result I achieved doesn't satisfy me, most of the things I would like to throw in the trash. I also set myself a very difficult task in order to achieve a great effect, for example the shower animations are very short, but they took the longest time after 160 hours of rendering, and they last maybe 2 seconds each.
But in order for the game to continue also and develop as I personally do, I publish it in this form. This is an amateur project and I treat it as an opportunity to learn of course with your support and the ability to invest in equipment, although severely limited by the current market situation. I think you can see it because looking at the first scenes and the last ones in terms of visual progress is certainly noticeable.
One more but the most important point is that the game from this version has a German language version (available in the preferences).
Here thanks to the author of the translation KASI. Thank you for your time and commitment.
This is probably my longest post :D. Finally, thanks for your support, I also invite you on Discord where you can help the project just like KASI.
Thanks and take care.

Thanks for the information. The issues may have occurred because I had to make some minor modifications to the code that determines the path that the main character takes.
