Chapter Twenty-two (0.22.0) Update #2
Added 2021-11-11 23:06:26 +0000 UTCIt's always funny how I get to this point in the build and I start thinking "oh, man, I only have a few scenes left to do" as I'm considering how much work remains, but then I start adding things up and it's a hell of a lot more than that. It's transitions. It's cleaning up the script. It's redoing some shots and animations or just adding more. So, I end up being not as ahead as I think I am.
As far as the update itself, there's a playable skeleton there, with the first half being largely functional (minus some code and audio), so a good push over the next week will have us on target. The second half? Major scenes are there--they may be slideshows and misaligned script--but there's work to stitch them together and I see myself doing more than one reshoot to add more content.
I won't say too much about the story, outside of one thing: After this chapter, you'll have passed through all of the potential plot flags that splits the cast from lovers or friends, except for Carol. So, if you're playing Carol-only... well, you're seeing a different game than those going for everyone. And that's the funny thing for me. I have to write, code and shoot a lot of stuff for alternative pathways that I'm not sure'll even get seen in a single playthrough for most. But, it is always nice to read comments from someone talking about a scene and you know they had to do something just right to get it.
