Dev Update #47

Added 2023-08-21 15:25:02 +0000 UTC

Hello Patrons!

I hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Everything is good here.
I just wanted to give everyone a quick update. I don't have much to report other than I've been grinding away at the update. I'm getting close to finishing the scene that I'm on, and then it's to the last part of the update. The last part will focus mostly on one character. It's one long scene broken up into three parts, but depending on your choices in the game, you may only see half of it.

I hoped I'd be further along at this point, but it's always hard to tell how long scenes will take to create. I spent way more time on the last gallery scene than I should have and added a lot more animations than planned. But I created what I wanted to create and didn't restrict myself this time. The scene I'm talking about is my favorite in all of Ripple so far.

Also, I've been adding more After Effects stuff to the animations. It's pretty cool. You'll see the creativity I put into this update when you play it. My animation count is high right now, and there will be much more in the last part. I already have 118 animations done, and I'm sure there will be another 20 or more in the last part. The image count is about 980. It probably would've been much higher if I hadn't used so many animations. Currently, the new lines of code added is about 8000. And once I finish the last part, that will probably jump to about 9k-10k lines. Which would make it the biggest update so far in terms of lines of code added.

Have a great day, everyone!
