Hello!

A few previews above as usual.

Some good news to start of this month's dev log. I now have the new computer I mentioned getting in the last dev log. I've only had it less than a week now, but it has massively increased my productivity. The render times of the new machine are legitimately 5x quicker than my old computer*, which I'm also still keeping so I'll be working with two at the same time. This is going to vastly speed up how quick I'm able to get updates out. I can't say yet how much longer it'll take to finish ch3, but it's going to come a hell of a lot quicker now. (*the raw numbers from my test comparison was that my old computer completed a render in ~85 minutes while the new one completed the same render in 17 minutes. A crazy difference.)

Some more good news: I've finally finished the big party scene of ch3. Every scene from here on out in the chapter is a smaller, less crowded scene, which will also make working through them a lot smoother, and therefore quicker. The big scene ended up being over 800 renders, which, for reference, is over half the size of chapter 1. So it took a long time to make, but there should be a lot of content there for you to enjoy.

I'm hoping that in the next dev log, once I've had a solid month of working with the new equipment I'll be able to give somewhat of an estimation on how long's left to go before chapter 3.

Thank you for your patience as always!
