So my first day off has come and gone. I have a few things to share.
First.
The format of the videos had to be modified. It wasn't efficient to use .AVI at 120FPS, so I switched to .WEBM at 30FPS. This reduced the size of the novel by about 1GB.
Second.
In the end, I converted the images from PNG to WEBP, which dramatically reduced the size. I can't say for certain but the VN should be around 1GB in size.
Third.
I ended up doing what I wanted for this update, however it feels just a little bit small. I am still deciding if I should continue working on the buildings or if I should add more content for this one. As of one lewd event, I am planning to finish it with another, making two. However, the in between feels a tad shallow to me.
WHAT NOW?!
Progress is balancing again and the next week feels relaxed. The week after that is rough and the week following that is very, very chill. Thus, I might take advantage of this tight schedule to work on the buildings.
As a side note, this time I wanted to keep working on the VN without reading through the forum a lot. Yet I read this recently. Even when someone posted a clearly toxic post, I was able to discern the message behind that toxicity, which led me to realize that such high quality is unnecessary. So thanks to random angry person. You helped me find solutions.
So far, everything is proceeding smoothly. There is no change to the deadline: Sunday, 28th.
