Status update Episode 13 + Art Days Patron Reward Part 4 (Patreon)
Content
What a week. It started with the two-day-long Art Days event, where I created art alongside the Patreon Discord community. For ~26 hours, I worked on art while patrons voted on the sets. 54 art pieces were posed during these two days, and they are now being released daily as a reward for all of you to see. So, you'll get a lot of daily art throughout November and December.
In the days that followed, I've spent time post-processing the art as it was rendered. About 2/3 of the art is completed, and I can soon move on from it completely. Manually post-processing art for special renders like this always takes extra time.
Other than that, I've been working on writing and coding all week. I've written several scenes and am now working on writing the events for a free roam event.
I feel like I'm getting into a good writing flow now, and it's something I haven't done in a while since I've been working a lot on animations.
So, now I'm gonna keep going with the flow and keep on writing for another week. I know that once I decide to start working on static renders, I have my work cut out for me thanks to all that's already written.
Right now, I'm working chronologically, so while I have a good idea of what the first part of episode 13 will be like, I haven't fully decided what comes after. I have a rough idea of how much in-game time the episode will cover, but I still have a lot more planning to do.
Poll News
The first poll for Episode 13 was published yesterday, and it ends in a week.
It's a cosmetic poll for Jill, deciding what she'll wear at some point in Episode 13.
If you want to vote, you can do it here. Sign up as a DIK tier patron or above to vote.
More polls will come during this development cycle.
Art Days Patron Reward Part 4
While making this render, I asked the community who they wanted MC to sit next to at the bar. Jill, Sage, or between them both.
It's kind of like asking a child if they want one or two scoops of ice cream. Haha!
You'll see the winning option in part 5.
