Chapter 5 - Progress update #1 (Patreon)

Since the last few weeks have been a bit quiet, with the exception of the release of Chapter 4, here is a little status update.

I am now completely finished with everything for Chapter 5, so “only” the static renders remain.

Script + dialogues finished

Translation + 1 automatic + 1 manual check

Transfer to code + implementation of technical logic (variables, jumps, etc.)

Set and character construction

Creation of test renders and Photoshop batch jobs

Posing, animation, rendering, editing, and conversion of all animations (animations are already finished and in video form. Audio has also already been added. So the biggest pain in the ass is already completely done.)

Selecting the first version of music that I want to use (I won't know if the selected music really fits until the individual labels are finished and playtested.)

From now on, this means posing and rendering 250 images per week until the estimated 2500-3000 static renders are completed.

The first “official” progress update will be released on February 20. Since I haven't had a break since the beginning of Chapter 4, I'm leaving it open whether I'll start posing next Monday or the Monday after that.

If it stays at 2500 renders, then it will be a mid-May release. If I have to add a few more, then it will be more likely the end of May.

That's it for this time. Until next week.
