Weekly Update! (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone!
I got paid by Steam today and before I get into the development progress, I'd like to thank all of you again for showing so much support. It means a lot that I can continue doing this full time and not worry about working a 9-5 job. For some reason, I could never stick to those.
This part is a mini update about my personal life so feel free to ignore this if you're not interested. Like I mentioned in my previous post, I just got back from meeting my sisters future in-laws and they'll be coming to visit us in a week. They'll be here for ~3 days so I may not be available to respond to you on discord/Patreon in those 3 days since I'll mostly be showing them around town etc. If it's urgent, however, feel free to dm me on Patreon since I get email notifications for those and I know I need to get back to you asap.
As far as the episode is concerned, I did have a few days where I wrote a lot but scrapped all of it because I wasn't happy with the flow. When I play these games, I want something to feel like it has some meaning even if it's filler content. And I'm not a fan of brainless filler content. Some of my scenes felt that way to me when I kept reading through them so I decided it's better to re do rather than commit to something I'm not happy with. Since I can throw out LOTS of renders a day, I decided to continue with my 'code first, render later' plan. I'm still liking the way it's working out since I'll get to really fine tune facial expressions etc as per the pre written dialogue. I should have some previews for you in the next update. Sorry about the lack of previews. I guess that's the down side of coding first and rendering later. But I'll have a few up on discord and Patreon soon!
As always, I'm available to answer any questions / concerns about the game. Some of you ask me about specific future content so feel free to continue doing that. Just keep in mind, I may suggest not knowing about certain elements if they include major spoilers.
Thanks again!
