Hey everybody.

I thought I'd work on the dream scene this week, but it took me a couple of days more than I expected to finish with Malena and Anna's scene, and then I went back to finish the final courtroom scene which I had left undone. Renders for both of those scenes are now complete.

My process this update cycle has been different than it was for Episode Two. For Episode Two I was constantly playing through the scenes as I made them and making adjustments to the dialogue and the renders. This time I haven't been doing that, I think just because I've been struggling to keep my render pace where I want it, so I've been afraid to stop and do any serious editing. That does mean that once I actually get a rough draft of this update finished I'll need to spend more time polishing it than I have in the past.

There's still a lot of work to do before I even finish the rough draft, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have to do a couple more short to mid-sized scenes with Malena, two mid-sized scenes with MC's sister, a short scene with Seo Jun, I have to finish the beastly wedding scene, and I have to do Gina's scene. I'm giving a very rough ballpark here, but if I had to guess I'd say I'm about 67% finished with the rough draft. There are about 1075 renders finished so far, so I'll probably end up with about 1500ish by the end. So far there are 18,000 words of new dialogue, but I still have a couple of scenes left to write.

That's all for this week. Thank you for your support!
