Monday Update #108 | Tweaking and Polishing
🕑 Added 2024-05-06 07:37:54 +0000 UTCHey, it's Monday again. Over the last two weeks I mainly spent my time polishing the update and tying up loose ends to ultimately send all the files to StrayHero for editing.
What I did in the past two weeks:
Writing: I finished up all the writing for this update. That includes everything in the dungeon as well as the new sex scene for Enna.
Images: I did some of the re-renders I mentioned in the last Monday Update, but I still got a few things left to do.
Animation: I failed a little bit. Of course I have to re-render stuff, so I haven't really made any progress despite putting in some hours. But nothing that'll delay me much.
Sound: I added a bunch of different and new sounds to the update to bring everything to life.
Polish: I started going over the whole script again and again. After several passes of little tweaks and improvements here and there. Changes to the writing, bugfixes and other things. I ultimately got everything to a point where I could send the files to StrayHero.
And that's it. Pretty much all the work over the past two weeks was done to get the game packaged up and send to editing. Now I'll be spending my time on getting everything else sorted out. Making the re-renders, finalizing the animations. more bug testing and probably some additional stuff.
The highlight of the past two weeks:
it happened when I stumbled upon an older youtube tutorial by an artist named Ida Faber whose work I've seen on artstation quite a few times. In the video she demonstrates how she applies makeup to her characters and while it was very simple, it really showed me an area where I was very much lacking. I used that to make slight changes to all the characters skin textures. The changes are subtle and will only be observed in future updates, but that really unlocked a new tool for me that I'll be able to hone for the future. I guess, I should start watching actual IRL make-up tutorials too.
And with that I'm out. It's early in the morning here in Germany so my work day has just begun. I wish everyone a great week you'll hear from me again soon.

Ah...the "Tweaking and Polishing". That is always the part where you say "I'm almost done" and then when you actually are done you are saying..."Damn, that took way longer than I expected" 😄. Well good luck. And now about the tutorial, I am always amazed that no matter how long you have done something, there is always more to learn 🤓.
