Good morning!

Great week crossing t's and dotting i's for the party segment. It's a real spiderweb of variables. But I'm confident in this part of CH4, especially since I plan on letting the beta test go for two weeks instead of the usual one week. I don't want to share too much about this event, but I will say that a short scene plays out and you'll be free to roam the party after the scene. Or after the scene plays out, you can simply go straight to the ending and start the closing sequence for CH4. You won't miss story related content if you do that. Just bonus content like wallpaper opportunities for the in-game phone and any interactions with some of the LIs attending.

I also have bad news regarding the mini music player. Due to the new music system, I will have to remove it because it won't properly display track names. Once my composer completes the full soundtrack, I may bring it back. But unfortunately, it will be removed. I did see it visible in a lot of screenshots that people would share from the game. So, I figure there are a number of people who use it. So, RIP mini music player. If I can find a way to bring it back and work with the new music system, I'll bring it back. I just didn't want to spend development time trying to get it to work with the new code. Since it's a small feature that's not core to the game.

Anywho, I'm excited to finally tackle this party. Lots of moving parts but, I hope you guys enjoy this party segment. Render count is now at 3,543 for CH4. Monday/today, I'll be mostly working on customs and then maintaining focus on this last stretch for renders this week.

Have yourselves a great week!
