Episode 2 Weekly Status Report #6 (10/05/26-10/11/26) - Available to all paying members) (Patreon)

Hey guys, I'm making this status report available to everyone because I said I would let everyone know when I finished all of the renders and animations for episode 2, and I just finished all of them for episode 2. I didn't think I'd finish them all in time for my next weekly update since I was out of town for most of the weekend with my fiance, but I was able to find more time than I anticipated during the work week and Sunday after getting home to get the rest of it done. So the totals for episode 2 are:

973 renders (93 made in the last week. Prologue + episode 1 had 996 renders)

76k words (up 6k from last week. Prologue + episode 1 had 65k words)

21 animations over 5 sex scenes (5 made in last week. Episode 1 had 18 animations)

These totals are subject to change as I finish up the rest of the work for episode 2, but probably not by any significant amount if at all. I think the renders, animations, and writing for episode 2 have come out better as I gained more experience and heard some feedback and criticism, but I guess that's up for you guys to decide when you get to play it.Anyway, now that the bulk of the work is done (making the renders/animations, writing, and doing the bulk of the coding) I can move on to next and final phase of development. This one will be quicker as all I have to do is proofread, revise, bug fix, and do a little bit of coding.

I also have to finish rendering everything not yet rendered and then fix any errors that I might have missed. So, as for what's left to render I have 492 renders left in my render queue and 5 renders so far to redo. As I've mentioned before, of those 492 renders left to render, not all of them are full scenes, as a lot of times I have to render my characters and backgrounds separate for my PC to be able to properly render them so while it's a lot of rendering to do, it (hopefully) shouldn't be too bad. I also have 8 animations left to render. Unfortunately, I had to redo 3 animations which I had finished rendering. Basically, I tried rolling up a skirt in those animations, and when I rendered it the skirt would flicker and jump and clip and was really distracting and ruined the animation. Needless to say, I've learned my lessons about doing things like that. Anyway, I think these 8 animations will take longer to render than the 492 renders in my queue. I know I've said in my updates waiting for things to render shouldn't delay the release of episode 2, but I think I spoke to soon with that and I'll try to be more careful with the things I say in the future. I just didn't expect to have to redo any animations, but that was naïve of me to think.

Anyway, I think it's too soon to say when I'll finish rendering and proofreading everything. But it's safe to say that this phase will be quicker than the previous one. I started working on episode 2 on August 29th and finished the renders/animations/writing on October 11th, so about 6 weeks. We're not looking at 6 weeks here. I'll keep you guys updated every week like usual letting you know where I'm at on the proofreading and what my backlog is down too. And I'll make another post for everyone whenever I finish proofreading or finish rendering my backlog, whichever I finish first.

Anyway, that's all for now. Let me know if there are any quality of life changes you'd like to see for episode 2. Right now I plan on adding the ability to change the MCs name, and making the textbox smaller. And if you have any questions feel free to ask. And as always, thanks for all your support.Courtney found something in your room. She isn't happy, but what else is new?

The laundry room just finished getting remodeled. Nice!

Pizza time.
