Status update Episode 8 (Patreon)
Content
This week I worked on several different tasks.
I've added art, code, and writing to Rooster/Chats and updated the design of the game menus (Save/Load/Preferences, etc.) to a more modern look that I intend to keep across season 1/2 and season 3 binaries.
I've written more of the missing scenes and posed static renders and a couple of SFW animations for them.
Here is the updated checklist of what's left to do:
Writing tasks that remain:
Two scenes of medium length
Code for one mini-game
Code for previously on Being a DIK screens
Code for episode end credits and screens
Adding Bios for all events (I always leave this task to last)
Art tasks that remain:
Possibly a few SFW (safe for work) animations
Render time for the final animation queue, currently 40 animations waiting to render
Static renders for four scenes
Render time for those static renders
GUI elements for one mini-game
Audio tasks that remain:
Implementing sound effects for a few scenes
Implementing music for a few scenes
(I intend to work on everything above next week and should complete a lot. I will also start playtesting next week.)
Other tasks that remain:
Polishing the dialogue and code
Playtesting
Thorough testing of transferring saves between Season 2 and Season 3 (Steam and Patreon).
Double-checking variables
Quality control of renders/animations
Fixing bugs that I find while testing
The episode is now bigger than episode 7 in almost every regard, and I feel that I'm getting close to having a complete episode that I can polish and test.
I don't say this often enough, but thanks for your continued support!
I'm looking forward to rewarding your patience with one hell of a season finale that will have you talking circles for months to come.
Have a nice weekend
