Development update - Chapter 1 Part 4B (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone,
Going to start by saying that I am feeling a bit drained this week. I feel like I need to take some days off to relax and not work on the game. As you all know, I love rendering. It's my escape and my way to express myself. So that's what I am going to focus on for the upcoming days. No game renders, but custom renders and soul rendering.
Believe me, all I want is to finish book 1. Having said that, I found it's really hard, if not impossible, to loop DForce hair, so I came up with a strategy to loop the animation. But it needs more animations for that and more effort with editing. Don't get me wrong. The DForce hair animation is amazing, but it's unloopable. It's a big effort, and I feel like starting it this week will drain whatever is left from me, and it will still turn out bad. You know my standard by now: if something doesn't look good, I redo it. I don't want to do that. So I will rest until I feel re-energized.
One thing I am going to finish soon is the Android release. It will be released with Turkish and Russian translations for now. I tested them, and they are working well.
So I did have the chance to experiment with animations this week, and I have something ready, but I am thinking of improving it. Other than that, I did manage to create more renders for the mini-game. The mini-game code is working well; I don't have much left to finish there, so I'll leave it at that and continue once I need to assemble it all. Also found some good music and SFX for it.

Polls
Special art Poll - I think someone is going to be very happy with the Poll's results this time. Gio is demolishing Jeanene and Kim this time. People can still vote today. But I don't think it's going to change the result.
Favorite girl poll — With over 450 votes, Lauren remains in the lead, with Gio close behind, followed by Mercy and Dianna.
The poll will be open for one more week. So please vote for your favorite character here.
Thank you for your support, everyone. Till next time,
DC
