Progress!

So, all the spot rendering is finished and I'm trying to get it out this weekend.
Now I've got the important answer out of the way, I feel free to waffle a bit :)
I'm re-rendering a few of the earlier scenes in full as I noticed, when doing all the spot render checks, that there is a marked difference in quality from the ones done in early March to the more recent ones - and when you look at the results of re-doing them, it makes a big difference.
March version

Current version

Since it's a visual novel...well, the visuals are fairly important and you deserve the best I can give you. Speaking of the novel side of things, I know I've mentioned before how big this chapter is - I surprised even myself when I took stock.
Fun fact time!
- 10,000 lines of code
- 38,000 words (which is bigger than HG Wells, The Time Machine...that slacker)
- 24 set piece scenes (I added a few since March...)
- 12 separate paths
- 5 distinct endings
- 2 mini-games
- A princess! (if you find that scene that is...)
- A new PDA tool
- Hidden content!
- Bonus content!
- Scandal!
- Rumours and clues!
...and probs a load of stuff I've forgotten about.
Play through time for a single run rocks out at between three to five hours depending on choices and content. Taking separate paths means that almost all scenes (your mileage may vary) change to some degree so that the auto-skip will only whizz you through so much. So to do everything, and find everything could take some time - and with the content varying should lead to different experiences each time.
In other words, I am confident that you'll get your bang for your buck regardless of what path you are on.
There is something for everyone in this one, and I can honestly say I've done everything I can to give you a quality product for you to enjoy. I'm going to crack on and get this beastie out...

Did anyone get sent the game yet?
The "Make me spaghetti" mug is a nice touch - you should sell those on zazzle or something similar. ;)

Rumours and clues? Scandal?! A PRINCESS??!! Damn, this chapter has everything!
OMG, that changes everything! ...probably.
Huh, hadn't noticed that Becca was a lefty - or does she mouse left when her right hand is busy? Seeing that the ciggie is on the right tho... it's usually on the off-hand side, so yeah. Lefty.
