Everything is rendered and post-processed.

I had some unexpected issues with the video compression of the animation, with weird artefacts appearing randomly in the final results (these artefacts were not present in the individual frames, just in the video). I've lost a lot of time reassembling the video again and again, trying different settings before I got it right. I didn't have these issues with my previous animations; I guess this is because of the low-light environment I used.

I have a similar issue with some shots in scene 34. Some of them present some pretty disgraceful artefacts that appeared during post-processing ( Essentially, during the conversion into a JPG). And so far, I haven't found a satisfying way to remove them. Hopefully, they won't be too disturbing, but I can't say I'm 100% satisfied with the result. I'll see if I find a solution next week, but I highly doubt I'll find anything really efficient.

Coding.

Scene 34 is in phase three, which means it is functional. Phase three is about coding in the music, SFX, and achievements.

I'm awaiting the return of Scene 35 from proofreading.

The music.

At the moment, I'm working on the soundtrack itself, and I will most likely invest a part of next week in that task too. Depending on the results of my work, I might give you a little taste of some new tracks to come in the near future.

I still have a lot of work to do on the script, but I think I should be able to launch the beta test next weekend.

The quick sum up :

• Day 6 Part 7 will contain 3 new scenes: scenes 33, 34, and 35.
• Scenes 33, 34, and 35 have been written.
• Scenes 33, 34, and 35 are fully posed, rendered, and post-processed.
• 4 384 lines of script so far.
• 17 047 words of new content.
• 527 shots are planned, 527 are posed, 527 are rendered, 527 are post-processed.
• 1 animation is planned. 150/150 frames are rendered and post-processed.
• I'm currently working on the music.
