A bit of a detour... (Patreon)

So I was planning on bringing in the Monopoly game this update. Which is a HUGE system and was going to take me about 2-4 weeks to get working. I have since decided to postpone that system until Monday (In Game) because Monday is the first time it rains in game, and it makes sense you'd be stuck at home playing a board game on a rainy day.This does not mean the next update is going to come out quicker. Number one, I am remaking the UI for the entire game. That's already huge. But more importantly, and what I'm most excited about, is I've just created LORA's (Pre-Trained AI Data) for each character... Which means now when I run my AI workflow over the images, it will PERFECTLY create the more REALISTIC version of that character. Without needing all the extra photoshop work. And it will look FAR more realistic. If you guys were in the Discord, you'd see what I mean. I put a lot of examples out. Anyway, I'm going to be putting all the images BACK through AI for the game. So they will ALL look consistent, and more real. This will take a while. Not MONTHS though. Because I don't have to pose them or re-render them, or even do much Photoshop on them. I just have to run them all through AI again, which takes about 5-8 minutes per image.TLDR: I will still be taking 2 months or so on this next release, however, not for the Monopoly game. It's for a MASSIVE upgrade to how the whole game looks. From the Images, to the Video, to the UI, it's all getting upgraded. And it looks GOOD... Like, REALLY fucking good. Trust me, you'll like it. And it's worth it.
