Dev Update #191

Progress!

I'm almost done with posing scene 22. There are about 10 shots left. I expected to finish that task earlier this week but ultimately changed my plans.

I took some time off from posing in order to develop a simple text message system. I included that feature in the posing of the scene and I had to make sure my ideas were viable. And they are. I'll have to refine the code a bit more but it's already fully usable and behave about how I expected it to. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Of course, I can always improve it but it will do nicely for now.

There are several text message events in the game, and for now, they're all handled through the dialogue system. I will change that in future updates. The text message thingy needs to be supported with some specific poses to be fully functional but it shouldn't be a deal breaker as I've planned to rerender a lot of scenes anyway.

Still no news from the artists I tried to contact. I think that a week is more than enough for someone to answer my emails had they been interested. I will interpret that silence as a no and resume my foolish quest.

The quick sum up :

• Day 6 Part 2 will contain 8 scenes (Scenes 19 to 26).
• Scenes 19 to 21 are written, posed, rendered and coded (logic ready). Scene 22 is written.
• 24 377 words so far.
• 4627 lines of code.
• 770 renders are planned, 761 shots are posed and 726 are rendered.
• I'm working on posing scene 22.
