The Grey Dream News

Hello everyone,

This week we've been busy with animations again. But before we get to that, let's talk about why we haven't had a status update for Greyvale Rivalry this week. As you may know, we've said that The Grey Dream will be our priority until we finish this season, so we thought it was only right to shift our full focus to finishing Episode 7 for a few weeks.

Now we can talk about what we've been doing over the last week, we've been rendering animations pretty much non-stop and with all this rushing we've finished 70% of the animations in this episode, not counting the cinematic. With all these animations done, we're getting closer to the release every week. We haven't been lazy on the rendering front either, we've finished 3 more scenes. Overall we're really happy with the progress we've made over the last 2 weeks.

Before we get to the scenes, we've asked you to leave a review on the last status update. We would like to thank everyone who left a review. It has really boosted our morale.

Render-wise, we weren't really focusing on one scene, we were working on the transition renders between the animations. There are about 50 renders.


We've also started to work on the final scene. We can't really give you a render count for it, but at least we can give you a preview.

Hello everyone,

Nothing much this week, mostly coding, writing and choosing music for the scenes. Like the last status, we've been mostly busy with the animations. Once again we found a problem with another animation and lost 2 days for it, but the rest turned out great. We've also started to spend a bit more time on Grey Dream instead of our new project to get this episode done sooner.

One last thing before we get to the scenes. If you have the game on Steam, please leave a review. It really helps us with the development of the game and with the morale.

21. Scene: Finalised with 61 renders.


22. Scene: This one ended up with 65 renders. Haven't started coding yet.


23. Scene: 55 renders. Haven't started coding this one yet either, but we should be able to catch up next week.

Hello everyone,

We're back with the sixth status update. The last 2 weeks have been quiet, nothing fancy and not too many problems. The only thing that happened was that we found a problem in 2 different animations and had to redo them. It took us a day each to fix them, but that's nothing compared to some animations that take almost a week to render.

We don't have any big scenes to share this week as we've been working mostly on the animations, but it's better than nothing I guess.

Fifteenth and sixteenth scenes: Quite small scenes. About 50 renders in total.


Seventeenth and eighteenth scenes: These two ended up with 53 renders.


Twentieth scene: 56 renders.

Hello everyone,

We're back with another status update. The last two weeks haven't been that interesting. We've mostly been busy rendering animations and since we're rendering at 60fps it takes a few days for each animation. Let's just skip to the scene reports since I don't really know what else to talk about this time.

2. Version of the eighth scene: It's still being worked on. 8 animations and counting.


Twelfth scene: About 50 renders. It's practically done, but I can go back and do one or two more renders.


Thirteenth and fourteenth scenes: These two ended up being close to 100 renders. Some of the renders from these scenes don't feel right, so we may end up deleting some of them, so the number of renders for these scenes may change.
