Dev update #83 (Patreon)

Hi, everyone.

A productive week, even though I was away for a few days. I had a good inspiration finally. Which I haven't had for quite a long time, and was able to write a lot of different pieces of dialogue for different scenes. Mostly it's an Octavia event but for all different routes. Dialogues with Octavia are tricky as there are three paths with her already and even a bit smaller branch if you hate her. I tried to squeeze everything to keep a few simple lines for each path, so I didn't have to work on four separate scenes. It's semi plot scene and an event scene. If that makes sense) I guess it'll work fine. I also completely finished postwork for art and animations for the first scene and coded about 60% of it. As for the renders, due to shifting my attention to writing, coding, and postwork I haven't much time to do posing and rendering but still had some progress here as well.

Approximate numbers as of today: 575 renders and 8 animations.

Now that I've written most of the Octavia scene, I can see that it won't be small. It may take a little longer to complete than I thought. Mostly due to several routes.  And again, I get back to improving my workflow. It's a never-ending process, I must admit. There are a couple of things that slow me down while I'm posing scenes, and I decided that it's time to sort it out. Anyway, I won't get into annoying technical details and just will say it won't take long to finish, it'll improve my workflow and increase the dev speed.

I'm sorry for being less active lately. Life is crazy. I already prepared a couple of new previews for you guys, I'll post them next week. As well as will work on this month's wallpaper and special renders. A lot of plans for next week. I think I'll focus on posing scene with Octavia I've already written and will finish writing the parts of it that remain. 

Have a great week and take care.
