Hello everybunny.

I may have experimented a little too early with our new plugins that kinda needed a lot of troubleshooting and bugfixing so there was a day's delay on this release. I will definitely be working out the weird stuff on studio and experiment with them during our scheduled 'Rest & Experimentation' period.

With the picture above, you can see we we have working 'lightshafts' in this release and perhaps it also helped with 'ambient fog'. I didn't have to use a lot of fake shadows or our usual 'Circular Shadow' tricks with this release and I'm so digging the new tools we have now.

We've also adjusted some objects in the scene to use a something different: the PBR shaders we've wrote about before that allows some of the magic to happen with the lights in the workspace.

All in all, I think I did a good blend of work and trials for this release.

We introduced a bunch of new characters to our ongoing character poll, including some of the characters recommended to me on our Discord, and so we're continuing to feel out whom (characters and games) the community are hoping to see more of.

It's just 'Time' again that we're short of - we really do want to create more of every character we're showing on the polls. We didn't do all that work on these characters to convert, fix and troubleshoot weird KK->KKS things, modify textures and adjust accessory pieces of all the characters we've shown on the poll just for them to sit in a corner collecting dusts - oh no no, we're going to use them one day (I hope so) even if it'd be in our 'extras' or in our Interlude releases.

Anyway, let's meet again on our coming Interlude release. o/
