🕑 Added 2022-07-20 00:37:34 +0000 UTCA few weeks ago we are experiencing some difficulties, the main one, as I mentioned to a colleague, is our rendering power.
Today we have 2 working machines, a very old one that is with my wife where the scenes are made, and the main machine which is mine.
Whenever it is necessary to test the lighting, or the composition of scenes is necessary to use my computer, and this consumes a lot of time, some scenes take more than 1h to be finished.
It was already in our plans to buy a new computer, but we will have to speed up the process, with a global crisis in components the price of products is very high, to get the bill for everything, we will have to save a lot because a new computer will cost us more than 1500 dollars, converting to our local currency plus the taxes that our government applies on international purchases, the total amount will be something close to 2800 dollars; (yes almost a new computer for us, and another one for our government.)
What patreon offers us today, we wouldn't be able to pay even 10% of the investment value, and many players always ask us for improvements and improvements that we still haven't been able to do due to the limitation.
It's always good to remember that game development is not our main activity, and we'll have to hope that in that time, we can have money to pay for the high investment in this new computer.
Explanations aside, let's get down to business, with the English revision version released, our full focus is now on developing the new version.
We are thinking of releasing a smaller version than expected, to try to take advantage of the new computer to make better renders, without having to go back to redo something that has already been done, but we haven't made that decision yet, we are thinking about it, we will keep you informed about.
