An Update on the first Update
🕑 Added 2017-02-14 07:42:08 +0000 UTC Good news, mostly. I really need to stick with my planning better. The first update (planned for the 14th "ish" originally) was intended to have 2 minor scenes 1 major scene, a new character, a new room, and a handful of new lines/options for Lily. The good news is two fold. First, I'm still likely going to hit the "ish," I'm anticipating the patron release no later than early morning on the 17th(with the public release to follow two weeks later). Second, the reason I didn't manage to hit the 14th specifically, was that I expanded both of the minor scenes substantially.Minor scenes are intended to have only 2-4 renders, with no animation or sound. However, I was wanting to introduce the first actuall use of the game's stat system, and the idea kinda ran away from me. I ended up expanding the smaller minor scene to 6-renders, including an animation, and the larger scene (the Tennis Courts), is bordering on a major scene work wise, as ended up doing 10 renders, including an animation and probably a tiny bit of sound.
All 16 of those renders are complete, and I've built the new room (an Onsen) as well. Likewise, the new character is completed, and I know what I'm doing with him (the major scene involves him). Major scenes usually have 8-12 renders, animation and sound. I'm planning on knocking 2-3 of those out tonight before I crash(it's 1:30am and I normally crash at 6:00am or so), and I think I can finish the rest of them in a day or two. After that, I'll need probably a day-ish to add everything into the code (I'm a bit of a procrastinator with thing I don't like and I hate renpy's code strcuture, so I leave that 'til last, usually). So, hopefully it will be done and up for the patrons on the 16th, but given I mostly work on it overnight it might be early on the 17th.
So, all told, not quite on the exact day I was half-aiming for, but there will be a fair bit more content then there was originally planned to be.
