[Progress Report]:18th of July

Hey everyone,
The real life situation is still rocky and ongoing, but it's at a point where I can begin focusing my attention back on Superheroes Suck.
For those that don't know, instead of Version 0.90, I will be releasing shorter Version 0.875 for this development cycle. It's unavoidable at this point, as I really only had half a week of development done before everything was uprooted. I want to thank all of you for sticking with me through this. Your continued support and understanding was a real source of comfort.
The goal for the upcoming week is to finish out Harper's event and then move onto what I can manage before the rapidly-approaching release date. I'm trying to pick necessary but "lighter" events to wrap up at the moment so that I don't rush important plot points, especially since we're about to reach the narrative "midpoint" of the main story. Speaking of the main story...
We're at a point where I need to complete certain character's events before I can reach the next "phase" of the story. The most obvious one is the match with Riley, and I'm hoping to get at least that done before the release window so there can be a sense of progress in the upcoming Version of the game.
I'll end this update with a very sweet question sent to my inbox.
"Hey, Solace? Why don't you live stream your work?"
Well, I suppose the most straightforward answer is that live streaming and rendering both use my GPU, which would cause the live stream to crash whenever I clicked the render button. The second answer is that I don't know a human being on the planet who would be interested in watching a progress bar run to completion two or three dozen times in a row. I wish this were as glamorous looking as drawing art, but alas, it is no where near that. It's a bunch of frightening looking textures transforming from tiny dots into an image. Thank you, though, the question gave me a smile and a good chuckle.
Thank you for all of your support,
~Solace

Posing is hell, especially during an animation. I don't know why I keep finding myself posing hands. Manually moving every part of each finger is a special kind of torture.

I've thought about it a lot, but I think putting out a 0.875 and 0.90 separately would be better for the game overall. This way, I can have some deadlines that will help motivate me for content development. In situations like this, a little motivation can help me get out of a rut.

On to my funny reply. You could live stream the hell that is posing. No gpu needed. Lol. Keep the head up. We got your back
Whooli
I can't speak for anyone else but personally I'd be okay with waiting longer for a 0.90 if you were more comfortable doing that
