Developer's Journal 2:38
Added 2023-07-09 00:30:22 +0000 UTCHey everybody! I am very close to being finished with the still renders. I did hit a couple of speed bumps this week (found additional renders I needed to create/fix), but we are still in good shape. Here's what's left:
- Still renders for two short scenes which introduce an important new character. That character is already modeled and one of the three sets I need is already set up, including a small custom asset (postal boxes) I had created for the game. I have put these scenes off for last as I've reworked them in my head several times, but I think I finally know how I'll do them. I'll probably need about 40 renders total.
- I am still waiting on the final three animations to be posed, and those will each need about nine hours to render
- I have a "renders to be fixed" list with about four hours worth of work
I hope to finish the still renders and the "to be fixed" list by Tuesday and then send a build to the playtesters, who I imagine will need at least two days with it. Then I'll need some time to fix whatever issues they spot. By the time that process is complete, hopefully the animator will be finished with his work and I can spend a day rendering the animations.
I do have family in town this weekend, and while I enjoy seeing them the timing of the visit is stressful because I've been laser focused on this update for the last few weeks. Regardless, we are in good shape for Episode Two.
Thank you for your support!
