Chirp!

Welcome to this mini update devlog of the Mike'Vali!  First off, I apologize for the long silence with these updates. I'm aware that there are bugs to be fixed, and some of them already are in some ways, but the past months have been an absolute crap show in my personal life and killed my motivation to work on pretty much anything. Kinda like a burnout, but instead of only feeling you've worked too hard, this is like getting punched in your mind constantly, which is killing the motivation. Sorry about that, it's getting better now but I ain't fully recovered.

The next HUGE update to the Mike'Vali is right around the corner! the 1.1.0 update will introduce things such as face tracking, Substance Painter Project files and a fixed up Blender project that can finally be appended from! And more!

However, due to the MASSIVE demand for Greedobe products in the avatar space (Photoshop and ESPECIALLY Substance Painter), I've decided to release the Substance Painter Project files early! I still need to tweak some things, such as how the eyes do not match the original Affinity Photo files, and learn how to properly use the software further, but these should still be VERY helpful for those in need to make their recolor using this piece of software. Please give some feedback through the Discord Community! In the mike-avatars-troubleshooting channel!

In addition, I wanted to announce a heads up to everyone working on editing their Mike'Vali though the Blender project:

The upcoming update will upgrade the Blender project version to Blender 4.0, which is INCOMPATIBLE with Blender 3.6 and older. 

This is due to modifications in the Blender code regarding how files are saved. It's possible to read a 3.6 file in 4.0, but not the other way around. The 4.0 update does include amazing new tools and QOL features, so I highly recommend upgrading! Sorry if it does cause inconveniences to some.

See y'all for the full 1.1.0 update soon!
