Dev Update #213


Still behind on my schedule as I've lost a lot of time this week.

I spent about 10 hours, a whole day of work, posing a single shot that I couldn't get right. As it's an important one, I felt like I had to get it right if not perfect. I'm still not happy with the result but I can't afford to waste more time on a single shot, and I finally moved forward.

It's quite annoying to fail, but it's even more infuriating to waste that much time on it.

I still made some progress, though and, according to my original cut, I'm about 20 shots from being done with Day 2, scene 10.

I've been thinking about adding options to that scene, specifically for the third branch (the Evil Asshole, Moronic Hero and Psychotic Knight paths).

That segment is the shortest of the scene and I had a few new ideas for a short but significant sequence that would show Jack's inner conflicts. However, I'm afraid it would be kind of weird to have Jack show some vulnerabilities so soon on these paths. I'm going to take the weekend to think about it and make a final decision on Monday morning as I'll start to pose that segment.

Anyway, I hope to be done with posing that scene by Wednesday. I'll then code the reworked scenes and send them for proofreading.

After that, I'll probably have to focus on the music problem before anything else. I have some tracks ready, but the more I listen to them, the more I question my choices. I have to make some significant progress on that task and set in stone the basis of a definitive soundtrack. I won't go anywhere if I change my mind on what kind of music I want for the game every month.

The quick sum up :

  • Day 6 Part 4 will contain 2 new scenes: scenes 26 and 27
  • Day 6 Part 4 will contain 2 reworked scenes from Day 2, Scenes 1 and 10
  • Day 2, Scene 1 and 10 have been rewritten, Day 2 Scene 1 has been posed and rendered.
  • 9449 words so far.
  • 281 shots are planned, 260 are posed, and 178 are rendered.
  • I'm working on posing Day 2, Scene 10.

You can follow my progress on this Trello board.

Thank you for your support!
