Status update Episode 10
🕑 Added 2023-02-17 08:01:42 +0000 UTC
This week I wrote and worked on renders for some longer scenes with plenty of characters. Working with many characters always take extra time, and one of the scenes had 150+ renders in it alone which required extra focus. I'm happy with the results, and I created art for shorter scenes after that.
I've also been writing other scenes, continuing to fill the episode shell with the planned content.
PCs are chugging on with the animations without any interruptions. The render queue is still meaty. It's smooth sailing at the moment.
While animations are likely ~50% posed, renders (~1200 posed) are somewhere between 25-30% complete depending on the final count. Writing is likely near the render percentage; I will focus more on it next week.
I will mainly focus on Isabella's branch early next week. Depending on how well it goes, maybe I'll work on Sage and Others branches too.
I have been working on SFX and music during the last few weeks, here and there. 10 new songs have been added thus far.

anywhere from Sept to November it is looking like based on the updates - the branching in this episode will be crazy and the graphics has increased significantly ---- so it is taking more time

DPC... I just need you to know that I hate you for how well you wrote in Zoey!! Like I was visibly frustrated that I couldn't drop everything and pursue her because she is great. Complete character development with the interlude and the growth in her interactions with MP. I play a lot of VNs but NONE have this high a quality of overall characters and storyline. Its a legit struggle to choose only one girl through the playthrough but all arcs are well thought out and enjoyable for pretty much any persona a player might have.

We don't know who her husband was and I guess we're gonna be shocked about it soon
Daniel
I just want to wife Nicole!!!
Daniel Mallett
That's great to hear. I didn't know.

That is thoughtful, but he put together his own "render farm" a few years ago that has significantly improved his render times. When he says they are chugging, he just means they are working hard, rather than struggling. One of the benefits of the success of the game has been his ability to afford new equipment when needed, so I am certain he would add more machines to the farm if he felt like there was a performance bottleneck.
Lo Si

I have a pretty good computer and you're welcome to have me render a pile of stuff for you if you would like. I'm fairly good with blender I don't know if that's what you're using, just figured I would offer to help.

Very detailed update! I appreciate it, and I’m sure everyone else does :) I’m really looking forward to the next release on steam. I know it will be well worth the wait! Keep up the great work Doc!
