Progress update #16 - Final episode
🕑 Added 2023-01-16 09:42:34 +0000 UTC
Hello everyone, I hope you are doing good.
This last two weeks have been important to me because I changed a few things in my day to day routine, if we can call that a routine considering how hellish it is to organize you day when your schedule is never the same from one day to another; but those changes have helped me feeling better every time I woke up.
It used to be a battle every morning when the alarm rang, but lately it feels like it's getting easier.
That allowed me to have more energy and so I get to work and I am more productive.
So much so in fact, that I finally finished the 6th LEWD scene.
I now have 2 more to go, and we'll be done with my least favorite part of the development.
My rendering machine has at least 3 weeks of rendering, which is good, but scary as I will add another two weeks shortly, and then many, many statics. It feels like I'll deliver later than I expected, but we'll see.
I know many of you have been telling me to focus on releasing something that I'll be happy with, and not care too much about when.
I thank you for that, because it's reassuring, but a part of me doesn't like that, and tries to come up with solutions to increase the speed of rendering. I guess it comes with my personality!
So last two weeks, pretty productive.
I finished that 6th LEWD scene, and I wrote a lot.
I'm thinking about doing statics only for the next couple of weeks so I can relax a little and enjoy the work. It's stupid to say, but when I render a 300 frames animation, when it's done and I look at the folder I have only one animation and it took 3-4 days for it to be completed.
If I create 60 statics and queue them when I go to work, when I come back in the night, I take a look at the folder and that's 60 statics I have, and that's really pleasant. It feels like much work has been done.
So I intend to work a lot on the statics for the two next weeks.
Also, I'm going back to France from Thursday to Sunday, so I won't work during those days.
I will queue an animation which will probably take 3 days to complete, so not much time will be wasted for my rendering station.
For those of you who don't know, queuing statics on my software is easy as I can pile them up, whether its 10 or 5000.
But with animations, I need to manually select a few options, so I can only queue one at a time. Not much of a queue then.
I need to take a few days off to clear some stuff that came up in France, so it's unfortunate but at least I'll take that of my mind.
Also, I was working on my resume yesterday, and already sent a couple to some 9-5 jobs that I thought were interested.
I plan on quitting my job on the 28th of February, and start a new one on the 1st of March.
So things are moving in the good direction regarding my New Year's resolution.
Anyway, let's talk about numbers:
Animations: 51
Statics: 701
Dialogue: 3800 lines
We're getting closer to a decent size update, but my goals are far from being reached yet.
Much work to be done still, so I'll get back to it.
Talk to you guys later, thanks again for the motivation lately!
