Weekly Report 208 - No More Money
🕑 Added 2023-05-26 17:21:44 +0000 UTCHi guys,
How is everybody doing? I hope you all had a wonderful week.
First of all I want to apologize for not posting a weekly report last week. Due to my week immune system, I got sick again. Last week I have spent it all in bed with fever. Right now I'm feeling a lot better, except for a bad cough, but I'm back at work now.
RELEASE CHANGES
As you know I wanted to release this episode in June, however some things happened.
First my old machine that was rendering the animations broke again and this time looks like it's gone for good, so until I'm buying a second machine to render the animations, I'm doing everything on a single computer.
That being said even if I still had a second computer, there are just too many animations to be rendered. The whole episode has around 140 animations (300-600 frames each). So even if I finished everything today, I couldn't release the whole episode in June. The machine I'm currently working on has 2x3090 and it still takes 5-10 mins to render a frame.
Then the owner of the place where I live also told me that he's going to sell the place, so I will have to move out until the end of July, which is going to affect my work hours.
Because of this and some other personal reasons, I decided to split the episode in two. First part will be released in June and the second part, late July or early August.
PROGRESS IMAGEG CHANGES
If you have noticed in the progress image, I have removed the music and made it more clearly how things are going on the artistic side. The scenes for this part are almost done, however I still have some animations to prepare.
The reason I removed the audio tab is because I had to remove the music from my game due to some licensing changes. I have found a few alternatives, but none of them were as good as the music we had before, so rather than putting some music just for the sake of it, I'd rather not add music at all, at least until I find a better alternative.
PROGRESS STATUS
This past week I have mainly worked on animations. Right now I'm working on animations for Charlotte.
That being said I hope you all have a great weekend.
Kind regards,
Jason

Charlotte and Tris are worth the wait! Splitting the episode into two parts also sounds like a good call. Glad that you are feeling better!

Never a bad thing to have to go thru those great games again at least.....always a positive outlook :)

It's NP; I hope you get better. As for me, last Saturday was brutal. Due to a tech problem on my main laptop, I had to reset it. I didn't backup anything, so I lost progress on lots of AVNs (including NMM, RNM, Paradox and NMS). I'll have to replay them (but at least I'll get to experience them again, so that's the good part). It sounds rough, but we're be here. Best wishes and GL ✌.
