Dev Update #192


Scene 23.

Being done with posing scene 22. I switched to writing scene 23. With almost 1700 words long, it's within my expectations. I planned 62 shots for that scene and I've already started posing it. I have about 40 shots left. I should be able to finish posing it before the end of next week. I'll then code both scenes 22 and 23 in order to send them to my proofreaders.

Other stuff.

I've contacted a couple more artists about music for the game. Fingers crossed I'll get a reply.

I'm thinking a lot about the way I do things, especially when it comes to posing. I spend way too much time on that part of the job and that leads to an extensively long development cycle. I have to do something about that. I know I work differently from other visual novel developers and I should probably get more in line with how bigger names proceed. However, I'm afraid that could impact the mood of my scenes though. I'm not sure what to do here.

I'm also struggling with the content I planned for future updates. Long story short: I planned too much content and I'll probably have to edit that down. Finding the balance between telling the story I want to, and keeping the amount of content reasonable, so that it doesn't take years to finally finish day 6 isn't easy.

The quick sum up :

  • Day 6 Part 2 will contain 8 scenes (Scenes 19 to 26).
  • Scenes 19 to 23 are written.
  • Scenes 19 to 22 are posed and rendered.
  • Scene 19 to 21 are coded (logic ready).
  • 26 065 words so far.
  • 4627 lines of code.
  • 832 renders are planned, 790 shots are posed and 778 are rendered.
  • I'm working on posing scene 23.
