Progress update #19 - Final episode
🕑 Added 2023-03-26 19:00:37 +0000 UTC
Hello everyone,
I hope you're all well in this fine Sunday.
I wanted to first of all thank everyone for the kind messages and feedback over the trailer of the last episode of The Entrepreneur.
This is something I said I was going to do at some point in the development of this last episode, but when I actually put the clips together I thought it looked really nice and was surprised by the result.
You also guessed it, who says trailer says we're close to the release of the last episode, finally.
I could potentially come up with a date for the release, but as many have told me before, it's best not to foreshadow these things too much.
Huge progress has been made lately but there's still one major subject which I haven't looked into, and that's the music for the game.
When the game will be completed, it will be my goal to release it on Steam as well.
But my actual music provider turns out to be the same one that put Drifty in an uncomfortable situation regarding the Copyrights claim last year.
Therefore, I need to make sure I find a solution for that before releasing it.
The easiest one would have been to buy the right to each and every song I use in the game, but we're currently at 130 songs, and looking at around 190 once the game will be complete, and I can't afford buying rights for every single song.
So, I need to find a music provider as soon as possible. So yeah, little bit of an issue on that.
But regarding the progress made on the other parts of the game, we "skyrocketted".
My career change helped out a lot, as it allows me to have a different lifestyle.
I now wake up around 4, work on the game before going to my job, and then come back in the evening, eat, usually don't even work, just chill so I can fall asleep pretty fast and wake up refreshed at 4 the next morning.
Moreover, I have my weekends free, so the amount of work I put during those days in gigantic. Feels like when I was still living in France working 10-12 hours a day.
So without making you guys wait any more, here are the numbers so far:
Animations: 63
Statics: 1487
Dialogue: 6200 lines
As far as I'm concerned, we might need another 10 animations or so, and we'll be done with the animating part.
Statics wise, I thing just another 400 would be enough, and finally, the script is entirely done. I still modify bits here and there as I advance making scenes, but the whole story is written.
That's a huge progress that's been made recently.
I'm excited and anxious lately, as I always am the closer we get to a release.
But yeah, this is what we've all been waiting for, and it's almost there.
In the meantime, I finished working on the game for today, so I will allow myself some pizza and a beer before bedtime.
I wish you all a great week, and I'll see you soon.

Makes me so sad at the thought of this being the final episode. This is my favorite VN right now in the entire market.
