Status update Episode 3
🕑 Added 2018-06-06 17:03:54 +0000 UTCHi guys!
Time for another status update; I'll try to make these posts weekly.
Since my last update I've been working hard on preparing renders and polishing the script. Last time I told you that Episode 3 might be slightly shorter than Episode 2. Forget that, Episode 3 will be about the same length in code but should feel longer due to fewer branches.
The script is 95% done and the completed render count is 311 and 7 (non-lewd) animations. 104 renders and 2 animations have been prepared and put in the render queue. I estimate that I'm about 50% done with the renders.
Other things I've done during the week:
- Upscaled every image from Episodes 1 and 2 to 1080p.
- Redesigned the intro/outro screens and the main menu with the help from Patrons, the Acting Lessons Discord server and fellow devs.
- Fixed minor bugs from v0.2.0.
- Implemented a system that lets you inspect your score with NPCs in the relationship report. (See the image in this post)
It is too early to set a release date for Episode 3, but I'm very pleased with the overall progress. I hope to be able to set a release date in my next status update.
Later!

I played it awhile ago but something still feels off about it. If you like the general style I would recommend playing with the color shades (I would suggest trying paler or more muted colors) or the border thickness (making it thicker imo).

Hm, I actually like the simple design. It's also a bit of a "branding" choice I've made. I appreciate your input and it's good that you say what you feel. I will keep the design like this for the moment; tell me how you feel after seeing it in game when Ep3 is released.

Not trying to be negative, but the progress bar (if it's not a placeholder) doesn't mesh well with your overall aesthetic. I think you're mostly going for a refined artsy touch for Acting Lessons whereas your logo is a little bit simple.
