Progress update #4 Final episode
🕑 Added 2022-09-21 00:11:42 +0000 UTC
So, lately has been challenging for a lot of reasons.
Firstly, when I woke up this morning, one of my screen, after 5 years of hard work had unfortunately passed away.
It means I now need to work on 2 screens instead of 3. I know, poor me, right?
But to be honest, it really makes a difference as I used to have this screen for the script and use the other two to work on the 3D part.
Now, something feels off. So, I bought a new screen on internet.
it will arrive in 8 days, can't wait to receive it.
As for the progress made with the game, I was not really happy with myself up until yesterday.
The thing is, we are currently understaffed where I work, and because of that, my work asks of me to do extra hours or cover other sections of the restaurant, sections which I didn't know anything about and had to learn.
As a result, I was really tired lately, and spent most of my time sleeping.
So yesterday, an idea came up to my mind.
Because I can only work 2-3 hours a day on the days I'm not off, why not try working differently?
The thing is, what takes the most time is whenever you create a new scene, you need to load the characters, the background, the main place where the scene will take place, adjust the lightning etc, etc...
Usually, it takes around an hour for me to do this.
But the issue is, I can't only work 2-3 hours because after 2 hours is when I reach my peak concentration and productivity in a task.
So I usually go into a mindset where I think I'm going to waste my time working, which means I was feeling demotivated to even turn on the computer and get to work.
And yesterday, an idea came to mind.
Since it only takes me around an hour to setup a new scene, why not set all of them up?
That way I can put the "hardest part" behind me, and not feel overwhelmed and discouraged whenever I only have 2 or 3 hours to work.
So what I mean by that, is that today and yesterday were two days where what I did was just think about each and every day that are scheduled, look at my document what event where to happen on those days, create the "base_scene" where I would load the place, the characters, both main and backgrounds, adjust the lightning, etc, etc.
I managed to create everything for day 2, 3 and start attacking on day 4.
It may not mean much to you guys, but to me, it's a huge win.
I also got started on the second LEWD scene of this episode, so I secured 3 animations which will help me keeping the rendering station busy.
And that's about it.
I wish I could have put more work in the game lately, but it's one of those phases where it's going slower.
Luckily, yesterday I found something to still maintain a certain level of productivity, and that's a good thing.
Anyway, next week I will drop a poll for the 4K wallpaper of next month, and other than that, I will work as much as I can.
As always, have a good week, thanks again for your support, and I'll see you soon.

It is always a good thing if you found a improvement to make you're workflow better. I, for myself, better wait longer to the next update, and have a very good quality than if it was faster and not so good. Keep on the VERY good work, I really look forward on the next update !
