Episode 6 - Progress Report #26
🕑 Added 2025-05-18 17:46:48 +0000 UTCHey everyone
Sorry for the late report! I had a pretty stressful week and didn't get all the things done I wanted. I also underestimated the time I would need to craft that last scene of part 2 and how many variants of individual renders I need. The constant loading and hiding of big groups of people in this scene really slows down the workflow unfortunately.
Here's the progress:
Writing: 100%
Coding: 90%
Environments: 75%
New Characters: 7/7
Background Characters: 30/36
Renders: 33%
Part 1 (9:00pm): 852/852
Part 2 (10:00pm): 372/430
Part 3 (11:00pm): 0/550
Part 4 (12:30am): 0/750
Part 5 (2:00am): 0/500
Part 6 (3:00am): 0/600
Music/Sound: 0%
Testing/Polish: 0%
📆 Release date estimate: August 2025
I did make a bunch of new background characters too, and I should be done with those soon. I think one more set of 6 characters will be enough to finally fill the scenes appropriately. There likely won't be any scenes with all these characters visible at once, but it adds some variety and realism if you're not always seeing the same 10 characters in the background.
I also spent some time making concrete plans on how I'm going to finish this episode in due time. I sat down and took another look at the remaining renders and other tasks. Realistically there's no real chance that I'll be done before August, so I corrected the estimated date. I took a look at my availability in the next couple weeks, when I'll get some days off work, etc. I've set myself goals for every week, which will hopefully help getting this thing rapidly closer to the finish line. My goal for now is to finish renders until August, and then take around two more weeks for sound, testing, and polish. So I'm aiming for a start of Early Access around mid August. I don't want to promise too much yet, since the goals I've set for myself are very ambitious, but I'll try my best to work towards that. I also already missed the goal for this week due to some personal stuff (and some miscalculations), so things aren't set in stone unfortunately. Nonetheless, I'm optimistic that I can speed up some more in these coming weeks and finish this looooong awaited episode in due time!
❤️ Thank you for your patience and understanding. Have a nice weekend! ❤️
