Weekly progress report #19

Hey guys. It's time for another progress report, which is gonna be brief and straightforward as I mentioned most of the important story stuff yesterday. Also, enjoy some of the new sprites.

As far as the development goes, I have started writing the new scenes (out of order so far), and have three right now. Good enough to make one day at least partially. Version 0.7 is going to have five days once more, just like two previous ones. As for the renders, I have about 15 right now, which isn't that impressive, but I'll speed up things later on. I've been experimenting with some new lighting techniques, and I like the results so far. Way more realistic and nice looking. One of the scenes (with Bree) is fully finished, while Reese's scene is halfway complete, and Kushari's scene has one render done. I usually start with the scenes that require new sets to be made, just so I can set on the backgrounds and new sprites. 

Not all the events of v0.7 are already set in stone, of course, partially because of the future polls, but all events for the main routes are already in my head. Speaking of polls, there's gonna be a story one tomorrow, and an event one on Tuesday. The story poll will decide where Melinda lives now. I'll give you four options: she either lives with Lucia in the suburbs, in Samuel's flat, or rents a house out of the city with or without Rebecca. All four options have different possible events, and also define Blake's schedule in a pretty important way. Samuel's flat is located in the city, so Blake can visit them at any time, but the houses are far away, and without Suya to drive him there he has to arrive in the morning, and spend the night there, which will affect the course of some events, naturally. And if Melinda lives alone, she can go slightly harder on Blake, as she won't peg him right in the middle of Lucia's living room, but on the other hand she can come up with something that involves both of them. As for the event poll, it will be about the person Blake meets at the club in a compromising situation. This could lead to some interesting results.

Overall, my flesh might be weak, but the spirit is willing hard, so if nothing goes wrong, expect a stream of new content next week. I will also try to make more text posts just to keep you updated with how the story goes. While this update can be considered «transitional» between some important events, there's a lot at the stakes right now, and you might notice that Blake gets somewhat bimbofied already (if you're following that path). He can still say «no» in most situations, but… Well, you'll see.

So that's about it. Have a nice day, and once again: thank you!
