Thank you, I am okay, I am that type of person that likes to stay busy and my story is not work for me, it's a hobby that I love and have passion for, because of how I came up with the whole story from my past, and keeping everyone updated is important to me, because of you guys like my story and that means a lot to me, and I don't want to be that type of dev that waits months for an update or months to post sneak peaks
I love what I do, how I interact with everyone that likes my story
Has AI helped me within Future Past and Becky's Reckoning? No not really, I did try AI to write a narration when Becky first explored herself to explain what she was thinking, but other than that I have not used AI in Future Past at all, I did use Ai for the belly dance video with Becky I posted on Patreon, but that's because I am in the process of upgrading my pc to a 5090 from a 3060 and animations on 3060 takes about three days to render for a 5 second video, that belly dance video is the only time I have used AI for anything like that, that's because my current pc takes too long to render an animation, but that will change in couple weeks, when I get my new pc and I can start making animations like there's no tomorrow
I learnt some coding when I was at Uni, studying more with animating and building characters / building and interiors within Red Engine & Unreal Engine and blender, before I started to learn more about coding and branching out with different paths while making Shelly's Future Past, I love Future Past, that means everything to me, but Becky's story I am so proud of how it's turning out
I don't even enhance the renders, which I know I should actually do, but I prefer the natural look on how the renders rendered without the need of enhancing them or adding tints, I know a lot of devs will use AI to enhance them, but I render my scenes in 1440p but other devs render at a much lower quality, so I don't see the need to enhance them
Making Shelly's Future Past and Becky's Reckoning, for me is a hobby, I don't see it as an income or want to think about delaying updates to milk people, if it makes money, fantastic and that is what's helped me get my new pc built for me, but as long as some people like what I am making, that means everything to me, I do work full time, but I have passion for my hobby and make scenes every night and let them render when I go to work, but I do still have time with my mom and siblings and for myself and my friends and I do travel over the weekends as well, just camping out in a van here and there around the UK
