Episode 7 - Progress Report #7 (Patreon)

Hey everyone

More renders are done 🙂.

Here is the progress:

• Writing: 95%

• Coding: 100%

• Environments: 50%

• New Characters: 6/6

• Renders: 10%

  • Day 18: 200/400

  • Day 19: 0/550

  • Day 20: 0/400

  • Day 21: 0/700

• Post-Processing: 10%

• Music/Sound: 0%

• Testing/Polish: 0%

There are some scenes in the first half of Day 18 that take a little longer than usual to make. There are a few reasons for that, but I don't want to spoil too much about Episode 7's beginning, so I'll keep them for myself 😬. I hope to pick up some speed after a little bit though.

I'm also back at doing post-processing of the images pretty soon after they've rendered, like I did before Episode 6. That means the images are finished earlier, which allows me to playtest more frequently. This is both more pleasant for me as I get to have little breaks from rendering to test the game, and it also cuts down a lot of testing time in the final stages of development.

There are a lot less variables at play this time (compared to Ep. 6), so everything is a lot easier when it comes to testing, writing and game logic.

I also spent a bit of time slightly changing one of the new character's designs, and I finalized another new character's model (Peyton) according to the results of one of the recent polls.

I will also eventually update the Character Overview, but you'll need a little more patience with that 🙂.

❤️ Thank you for all your support, and enjoy your weekend! ❤️
