Dev Update #12 (19/02/24)

Salutations, fellow humans :)

Another week down, and another solid week of progress logged! I managed to reach 132 new renders this week, setting our grand total to 288 renders. It's worth noting that both of the past updates hovered around the 300-render mark, so we've basically already closed in on that milestone, all in the span of just two weeks!

I did end up 20 renders short of reaching the 150 renders/week goal I had set, but, that's because I took Tuesday off after not feeling up to do a whole lot of work. So I took a breather, and instead let a big chunk of the animation I made last week render out. There's still about 60 renders left in the animation that needs to be rendered (about 1/3 of the animation), but that should all be done by this week. I'm also in the process of adding two more animations, currently spending the time to ensure they're both posed smoothly and free of any clipping.

But the plan for the next 2-3 days will be to focus on getting those two animations squared away, while simultaneously  working on script-writing (because I have now caught up with the backlog of script I had). I also noticed a few mistakes in some of the finished renders—they slipped by me due to the increased render pace—but those will all be an easy fix. Just need to go in and spend 2-3 minutes adjusting things, and then put them straight back into the queue to render throughout the night. After I complete the aforementioned tasks, then it’s straight back to rendering later in the week.

I also bought a whole bunch of new outfits this week! Right now, I'm just trying them on the different characters, deciding who gets what and in which colorway/design. I'll put up a poll sometime in the next two days once I have all that sorted out, and then you can decide which ones you'd like to see.

Not a whole lot to mention beyond that, though—just continuing to move forward with the game's development at a steady pace—bringing v0.3 more and more into fruition as each day passes. I'm super happy with the progress I've made in the last two weeks, and I will continue to keep that up :)

But that's all for now guys! Thanks a bunch for your continued support, and I'll see you sexy mother-truckers in the next one! Ciao! ❤️
