Poll results and some update news.

Alright, the poll for this months special render is over and here's the result:

I'm a bit surprised it wasn't even close^^

I'll probably make and post the render this week, so stay tuned on that. Oh and before the question comes up again: The poll is only for Freak tier and higher and the finished render every other special render will be visible for Lover tier and up.

To the bad news (did I say I have good and bad news?):

I had a problem with my 2070S so I send it back for RMA since it still had warranty. The bad news is that I got the money back instead of the card, so now I'm back to rendering on one card which is obviously slower than on two cards. I still have the better card though, so it's not a nightmare.
Now I could of course have protested and be adamant to get the card back, but I got the full price back and I looked the current pricing of the card up and surprisingly enough, it currently sells for less money (used) as I payed for the card and if you know anything about the current grafics cards marked (it's ridiculous) you'll know that's a big surprise and actually an opportunity. So I decided to keep the money, add a bit more and just buy a new (better) card once I can get one.

To the BM update:
Well as you might've guessed, it's going slowly, the current scene already took me two weeks, probably more, I've lost track...
I have one scene halfway done from day 11, three from day 10, five more planned iirc... the last two months haven't been the best in terms of developement, but at least the biggest and most problematic scene is done now (2h minimum for every single render, more than 60 render for this scene, see image below), so the rest should be a little less painfull to render.

By the way, I'm also preparing for a steam release, but I have no idea if it will even make it to steam since these types of games are blocked in my country. Note: they are blocked, not forbidden, so there's a good chance I can release it, but well see. I'll make an announcement if everything goes well.

Well I'm sure this was not what most of you had hoped for regarding the update and I still can't give an eta as you might've guessed, but it's going forward and I do my best to get it done fast but in the best possible quality I can achieve in a reasonable amount of time.

Last but not least, here's a little tease for the update:
