Status update Episode 12 (Patreon)

Happy Friday!

After finishing the lewd scene I talked about last week, I've been working on different areas of the episode.

I've been working on music and sound effects chronologically. I think I'm somewhere around 35% done with that.

I completed the art for three different scenes - two canon scenes and one for the Others branch.

I played through the episode on the Josy and Maya branch to better understand what it's lacking. In general, all main girl branches need more content. It took me two workdays to play through this branch once while also fixing things along the way.

It was interesting to play the big free roam event in its entirety for the first time. Not many errors had snuck in, and it was an enjoyable experience. It needs improvements in many areas, but that's not something uncommon.

After playing through the episode, it's definitely shaping up as a whole, but the lack of content in the branches is notable, and the scene flow isn't what it needs to be in the middle and near the end. This is explained by the lack of scenes that are either in a dialogue-only state or just in the planning phase. I will work on those areas in the upcoming weeks.

While previous episodes have had lengthy free-roam events, this episode leans more toward the VN-style for reasons you'll understand when playing it.

I also added all the lewd scenes to the gallery, brought that code up to speed, and made the miniature art for the gallery.

Now I'm back to adding music and sound effects as I play through Jill's branch. The episode currently has 15 new songs, and I have acquired 15 more songs that I can use where needed.

Next week, for starters, I will continue with the audio work and write more dialogue. Then I'll likely pose static renders for the written scenes and play some more variations.

Have a nice weekend
