The render marathon continues, and that's all I've been doing this week - posing and rendering. Everything has been going smoothly, and I've shattered my previous record of how much I've been able to output in a single week with 288 new story renders and 1,426 new frames of animation for this week alone. The total numbers for episode 3 so far are 526 story renders and 2,714 frames of animation.

The big minus with my computer going through what I pose like a hot knife through butter is that I've been unable to queue up a decent render queue, so my main focus is to continue working on that. At this point I'm looking forward to bringing in Celeste, as I know she renders much slower due to her hair.

Storywise, what I've been working on is the intro and end of episode 3. The intro has a lot of variation depending on your previous and actual in-the-scene choices. So it's up to you how to play it, and should feel rewarding on most paths.

I'll continue working on those for the next week, and hopefully, build a bit of a render queue by then so I can get a bit of a breather.

Enjoy your weekend, and stay safe out there.
