Chapter 5 - Part 2: Week 11 Progress

Hey all,

It was a bumpy week, but I did what I could. There's been some things going on behind the scenes that I can't really discuss here, but I'm doing my best not to let it distract me too much.

Apart from that, I've been struggling with hard drive space on my C:\ drive for a while, and it came to a head on Saturday morning when my frustration peaked. I finally decided to transfer all of my 3D software and associated assets (450GB+) over to another hard drive. Thankfully, it seems to have worked for the most part, and I haven't lost any save data. However, it was slow AF, and my PC was mostly out of commission for the entire day. To make matters more frustrating, while my saves were fine, it did mess up some of the asset downloads that were essential for me to work on anything. So that's why half of Sunday was also lost while I reinstalled what I needed to get back to work. Thankfully, it seems like that's all settled now.

In other development news, I've been struggling to finish the difficult 'middle section' of s7 and I'm torn on what to do. I'm heavily debating cutting one of the choices for that chapter, but it's difficult when I feel like it's such a good addition to the game. The problem is how difficult the scene is to deal with. Between the characters and the set around them, it's such a dense scene that I have to keep the entire set hidden/turned off until everyone is posed because it takes 30 literal seconds for each individual click of the mouse when it's on... And sometimes it HAS to be on. It's just been slowly driving me crazy, so, instead, I spent my week refining and expanding on S7, while finishing all the odds and ends I could find along the way. I'll probably just move on to S8 going forward and hope that I'll be more motivated to dive back into my self-inflicted flagellation in s7. If I decide against it in the end then at least S7 would technically be finished right now.

I'm sorry for the bulky report, but it was a busy week so i felt it was needed.
Praying we all have a better week this time around!
Much love!
JB
