Chasing Sunsets - Chapter 7 is in Post Production

Added 2023-04-24 05:16:43 +0000 UTC

As always, the closer we get to release, the more frequent the updates become.

This is just a brief description of where we are as of tonight April 23.

Progress this week:

Sound and Music - Complete
Points and Pathing - Complete
End of Chapter Summaries - Complete
Proofreading - Complete
Unlocks - Complete

Remaining:

Approximately 254 renders
Continued dialogue refinement
Minor feature art - Scene/Achievement/Image Thumbnails
Steam Localization

The long pole item remains the art, but Kent has been averaging 30 images a day on the more difficult of the two scenes.

There are 126 images left in that one, but only 64 of those require the extra effort the previous 220 have required.

The second scene should be far easier from a posing perspective to wrap up the remaining 128 renders, and as such it should go much more quickly.

The still render inventory for Chapter 7 looks to weigh in at about 2019 renders when the last one comes off the render box.

Doing the math, if we maintain this pace, we are 8.5 days from release. That said, I believe our pace will increase as the scene complexity diminishes into the last few days.

Anyway, the finish line is in sight, and Kent and I are ready for a few days downtime. We're as anxious to get Chapter 7 into your hands as you are to mash the download link!
