Devlog #13: Last scenes and rewrites (Patreon)
Content
Usual TL;DR: I'll be done with rendering at the start of next week. Had to rewrite some things but that didn't take too much time.Happy Friday everyone! Remember when I said that I wanted the chapter to have around 700 renders? Then maybe I'd need to bump it up to 800? So yeah... considering I still need to do one sex scene and the 2 end scenes, It's very likely that chapter 4 it's going to exceed 900 renders. For context, that's like chapter 1 and 2 combined.But I'm getting very close to be done with rendering. Hopefully I can get a lot of work done this weekend and begin coding on Tuesday/Wednesday. I "lost" a day and a half of work because I threw out a few things and rewrote a couple of parts. Without spoiling too much, there was a now deleted scene (that you'll be able to see on the Discord server once the chapter has been released) that was a real gut-punch and while it made sense for it to be there, I simply didn't like it.One of my design goals was to never punish the player and while the scene that was cut was not a punishment in the long run, it would have made the player feel bad for their actions and, even worse, it didn't give them a warning that that outcome would've been a possibility.So I simply took the L and removed it from the script, shuffled things around and kept the drama relegated to the "corpo" storyline.Anyway, I'm done rambling. I'll see you next week with, hopefully, a potential release date for the chapter and some more rambling about the future of the game (don't worry, nothing bad, I just want to explain my vision for the progression of the story in the second half of the game).See ya!
