Dev Log 24-Sep-2023

Hello!

Sorry for the slight delay with this update, but this will be the last update before the release and I wanted to have something a bit more concrete to present.

That being: I just finished writing all the text for this release. Even though there's images missing, today has been the first day I could play the whole release from start to finish.

Now, there's still work that needs to be done before it's ready, so let's go through what's done and what still needs work.

- Images: We're at around 1400 images and there's about 2-300 left to do. The infiltration sequence is about halfway done. I'll be wrapping that up in the following days and continuing on to the climax of the chapter.

- Animations: I've already announced that these are finished, but some details--there's a total of 11 erotic animations coming to about 40 seconds in total and a few more animated images (effects in premiere and such) that are meant to add some dynamism to a few sequences. A few more of these non-erotic animations may be needed, but they don't take long.

- Code: All done. Still needs more testing and bug fixes, but it looks pretty clean overall.

- Post-production: Not started yet. I want to do all of it in one go. Luckily, I've been more careful rendering this time around so it's gonna be a lot easier than last time.

- Game Design: I still need to add stat xp allocation and affection points, but this shouldn't take long. I think I can finish the post work and this in a single day.

- Credits: Need to make the list and then make the credits video. Shouldn't take long, but I should note that anyone Practicus or above (at any point since the 2nd release) will have their name in the credits. If you want to be credited in a specific way, please message me and let me know how. Otherwise, I'll be using your username here by default.

- Fixes: There's a few images I want to redo, but this is optional. They don't look too bad as they are, but I think they could be better. We'll see how much time it takes.

And that's about it, I think. I can't wait to finish and finally show you what I've been cooking here. I think it's a good wrap to the first chapter.

As mentioned, this will be the last log for this release, so the next time I post will be the announcement of the release dates.

Until then, have a wonderful time!
