Progress Report #10 - March 11, 2022

Happy Friday everyone!

Another week down, a few more renders and another animation in the books.

With the current scene I'm averaging about 9 new renders a day. With that being said, I expect to be working on scene 4 for about two or three weeks, give or take.

Scene 5 is mostly done on my end (re:Progress Report #5). We need Puggy's animations for that scene (4 planned) and I'll have to do a few transitional renders (budgeting out around 25-30) and it'll be done.

Scene 6 will be shorter than Scene 4 by a large margin. It's a mostly transitional scene with some dialogue that helps clarify some things that have happened up to this point, depending on the choices made up to it. It will also set up a some of the through-line plot for the game. I don't really want to call it the main plot, as the main plot is really your interactions with the other characters. The through-line is just the glue that holds the experience together.

Scene 7 will be another large one where many of the first batch of choices will be made with each of the Minges (Scene 3 had your first consequential choices with Mary and a yet to be named character). The actual scene itself will not be as large as this one, but as I have a tendency to render out different images for each of the choices within the paths, it balloons the numbers a bit. I feel pretty confident that that should only take a month or so.

Scene 8 is now also mostly done. I assume I'll have around 50-60 renders for it once I get to it. 4 of the 6 animations are in the bag. 2 need to be touched up and re-rendered.

Puggy turned in his first animation for Scene 2 this week. He's working on the second animation for it and then I'll need to do 6 transitional renders for it and Scene 2 will be done.

The plan for this weekend is to try and get the queue loaded up with about 16 to 20 renders tomorrow so that I can let it run all day Saturday in the background while I try and get everything we've got so far fully coded and in to Ren'py. This will let us get an idea of how everything is flowing up to this point. I'm fairly confident that it will all come together well.

Progress continues being made. Things are looking real pretty like. I'm getting both more excited and nervous as we get even closer to the first of many finish lines.

And with that...

Scene 2 - 86.8%
