Yeah I've heard that rendering's a bitch! But those are some rather lofty goals! I hope you've got the time to fulfil them, but take the time you need of course. I just hope it'll turn out well because these first chapters set up a lot of promise!
Oh yeah, you do you. I won't complain about getting more content haha but tell your story the way you want to tell it, no matter what. I did check out both perspectives, and will keep doing so for the other chapters, but as a cis person with little personal experience in this topic, apart from meeting people at parties and such, I feel like I most relate with Michael. So It'll probably be the side I'll keep playing first whenever every chapter comes out.
The shameless plug is warranted and I'll consider it! It's pretty damn tempting!
Thanks Herach.
I was learning on the job rendering out chapter 2, some of my early renders really showed that. Actually I re-rendered practically all of chap 2 because of a few issues that cropped up early on. The first thing I learned was that switching to AMD before starting this was a huge mistake, only when I sold a kidney (just kidding :)) and bought a 4080 Super did rendering times get down to a respectful level.
I understand that, I think that's why I went with the multiple paths route, because some folks want to identify with one role over the other, so you have the choice.
