Law School - Progress update #5

Last week was pretty good, we reached an important milestone which was the completion of the first day.

Altogether, it contains 676 story statics, which is honestly pretty good.
As a little information, the first episode of The Entrepreneur contained 1490 story renders.
I'm also not rendering most of the animations yet, so that almost all the renders that are being created in my workstation are rendered as soon as possible.
So all those 676 story statics are already rendered and waiting patiently for post work.
Important milestone for me, as  the first episode will be about MC's first week at school.
So, 1 out of seven pretty much.
Day 6 and 7 will be slightly smaller in terms of story statics, so do not worry, progress in the next 2-3 months should be much faster.

Now, I'm currently working on the first scene of the second day which is MC in his first Law class of the year.
This scene will take a few days before it's completed as a lot of the protagonists will be interacting in this episode, which means that I'll have to use a lot of specified billboards, and therefore, create a lot of them, which will take quite some time.
My plan is to create all the scenes loading the characters in it, and then, create all the billboards for each scene based on the angle of the camera , re-open the scenes one by one and load billboards in.
It is quite tiring, but I don't see another way to work around this without impacting the realism of the scene.
But it's fine, as the result will most likely be worth it.

I have a mental Gantt chart I know by heart which defines the steps and achievements for the first episode of Law School, and I need to say, I am going faster than I thought I would.
I'll wait to have completed the fourth day before sharing my plans regarding the release.

Other than that, everything is going pretty smooth with the workflow. Not much to say as this is just another grind part, the episode is all planned ahead, so I just create and create and create.

Let's talk about numbers now: 

762 story renders
8 animations
7 and a half scenes have been fully written.

Pretty good week as I've made over 130 story renders, and they look really good.
Now let me introduce to you the third LI of the game.

Olive is the definition of shyness, talking with her will prove to be quite challenging unless you find a way to have her open up to you. Will you be up to the task?

On top of that, Olive will be the unofficial photographer of the campus, and I will share on my twitter some renders as if they were taken by Olive for Facegram, starting next week.
Expect to see the characters in their daily lives at College with funny scenes, some sexy moments, and more.
Also, as a little game, all the posts you will see on Twitter will be taken from moments that you will actually encounter during your playthrough, so it will be funny for you to try and spot Olive in the background of certain scenes taking pictures with her camera.

So yeah, this is pretty much it for this week's progress update.
The work keeps on going, and I hope you're all eager to see some more about the game.

I'll get back to work, those damned billboards won't create themselves.

See you soon,
