Law School Episode 2 - Progress update #10

Hello everyone,

Last week was quite the adventure! I finally received the long-awaited parts for my computers and managed to upgrade both of my rigs. I tackled the main computer on Friday and the rendering machine on Saturday. Let me tell you, those two days couldn't have been more different.

Friday was a marathon. I spent hours assembling everything, only to run into temperature issues during testing. I ended up disassembling and reassembling the build multiple times, only to discover that the AIO cooler was no longer up to the task. It just couldn't keep up with the demands of the i9 13th gen beast of a furnace So, I ordered a new AIO from Corsair, which should arrive today. Fingers crossed, that will be the last of my parts orders for a while.

Saturday, on the other hand, was a breeze. I swapped out the motherboard, installed the new components, reinstalled WiFi drivers, tested everything, and even had to swap two fans due to cable length issues—all in under an hour. I’d like to credit Friday’s ordeal for prepping me, but the truth is, my rendering case is just way more organized than my main rig.

Unfortunately, all this tinkering meant that Friday was a bust work-wise. I managed to squeeze in a bit of work on Saturday, but not much. That said, progress has still been great, because of the 3 first days of the week.

First of all, I managed to complete DAY 3 in game of the second episode of Law School. DAY 3 in game turned out to be the biggest day of this episode by far in terms of content, with nearly 400 scenes and 20 animations—it’s a real chonky boy. There’s even a Facegram free roam sequence in there, which can be a bit time-consuming, so I’m really pleased with how it’s shaping up. The heavy dose of animations is due to a LEWD scene and several transition animations. I’m excited to render them and see how they look.

Now, I’m diving into DAY 4 with enthusiasm. Starting a new day always feels like a big leap forward. Once DAY 4 is complete, I’ll be about 50% done with this episode, including post-work. Needless to say, I’m fired up.

- 831 story statics

- 35 animations

- 22 scenes fully written

As you can see, we’re starting to build some solid content in the animation department. The static images are a bit on the light side, but I have some scenes in mind that should balance that out.

Other than that, not much else to report. I’m sticking to my new diet and work routine, and they seem to be doing wonders for me. With no vacation planned until October, I’m confident that by the end of August, we’ll have some impressive numbers for this second episode.

Anyway, I’ve got to get back to work. Wishing you all a fantastic week!
