Day 2, Scene 10.
I edited the scene down to just under 5k words. It's still a lot more than what I intended but I can't see myself cutting more content from it. So it will have to do. It has been a real struggle, but it was necessary.
I established a first storyboard for that script and planned 127 shots to illustrate the scene. That number might change as I'll pose the shots. Maybe I can bring it down a bit. As always that's something I can only really decide when I am knee-deep into the posing process.
I've caught up with all the rendering backlog, including the "supplemental" shots I need to properly pose Day 2, Scene 10. I'll probably need one additional image in that series, but so far, so good.
I started posing Day 2, Scene 10. I've barely touched that task so far with barely 8 shots ready to render. I'll probably need about 2 weeks and a half to complete it.
Day 6, scene 26.
I think I now have all the assets I need and made sure I would be able to render the scene as I imagined it. I also started writing. So far, The 8k words goal seems realistic enough. I'm going to put that task on hold, though, as I shifted my attention back to Day 2, Scene 10.
Some more general considerations.
I'm thinking about adding new content to Days 1 to 5. Just like the dream sequence in the new version of Day 1. That new content would be without impact on the story and relatively short. The goal would be to bring some flavour, humour or tension without changing the story in any way. Like dreams, memories or short interactions with external characters.
I wanted to get some opinions on that matter as I've been told that some players would not even consider doing a new playthrough to see that new content and that some others might even be "annoyed" by it. If you have an opinion, please, do share it.
The quick sum up :
