Exciting news, within a few hours we'll have the first draft of this script completed. It'll land somewhere around the 59,000 word mark. Over the next couple weeks, I'll do some editing and trimming, the usual work while trying to tighten up the second draft. Hoping to get it down into the 54,000 word range. Hope to get this to the proofer by mid October still looking good.
283 renders posed and completed as of writing. Finally got through that nasty little scene with every character and their aunt in it glad to have that puppy in the mirror. Moving to something slightly less maddening now.... Allegedly.
This week I've been trying something new, expanding the skill set a little. Been creating a few custom props from scratch. Lots of fun with that, modeling a championship belt is an experience to be sure. And I have basically no experience in substance painter so it's been a delight trying to get that together. Maybe one day for fun I'll get together a post showing all my myriad fuckups for fun. I am improving though, and I'm excited for you to see the hard work.
Nothing extra special to share at the moment beyond that, the wheels of development just keep churning. I'll check in with you again next Friday.
Thank you for the support and have yourselves a wonderful weekend.
(Fingers crossed the fights aren't dogwater)
Sláinte!

This post has made me realize that I don't spend enough time admiring all the work that goes into making each scene in a VN, or appreciate all the time and effort involved, especially with nuances like props, and stuff going on in the background of scenes. Thanks for that reminder, and now I'm going to spend the next few years going back over all the VNs I've read, poring over each and every scene in each episode.

Good to hear you're making progress, COVID hit me hard so it's nice to read dev update to cheer me up. Thanks

As an aside, I love the path where MC closes himself off to everyone. Don't know if it will go anywhere, but I enjoy it

Thanks for the update! Creating custom props from scratch; can't wait to see what you created. A champion belt means either one of us is fighting for the belt, or we're going to have a champion make an appearance with "said" belt. Oh, I can't wait to see what it is 😁!
