Merry Christmas

Hey everyone!
For those of you who celebrate, I hope you're all having a good Christmas. For those who don't, I hope you're having a good day regardless.
I just got back from a family lunch and I've been up for 23 hours now. My software is crashing a lot so I can't leave batch renders overnight and have to monitor the renders to make sure they go through. It's a minor issue because I can just restart the software and it works fine. The only downside is I lose some sleep for a while but I'm waiting to post this update because it was really fun to work on.
I'm almost done with all the scenes I wanted for this release. There's just one scene left which I don't want to skip because I want it to be part of this release. It just feels like it should be here. So I'm sorry but it's probably going to take 2-3 more days. I've proofread the scenes so far so it's just this one that I have to code and go through again. It'll be a mini free-roam event so I'll have to go through pathing too to make sure there are no major bugs.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the progress although I'll be 2-3 days late compared to what I had in mind. I'm gonna take a 3 hour nap now and continue rendering as soon as I'm up. Happy holidays! 🎄
