Dev Update #294

I have spent the whole week working on the script for scene 32. I wrote a lot. Way too much. I wrote about 6500 words this week and it is way over what I aimed for this scene. The scene is now almost 10k words long, which is 4k words too many. I'll have to trim it down somehow. I always have trouble editing down my stuff as I'm reticent to cut content out. However, this isn't the first time I have to go down that road. I considered keeping it whole but that wouldn't be wise. I think it's better to remove some content and postpone it to a later scene. As said, I want to aim for 6kish words. Which would require about 200 shots to illustrate it properly.

So 40% of the scene has to go. That's a lot. Most of the scene is in between draft 1 and draft 2 state, which means I also still have some refinement and some rewriting to do. I do think, however, that I can get it done in a couple of days worth of work. With a bit of luck, I can get to cutting the scene by Wednesday and start posing by Thursday.

I also have some work to do on Scene 31, like post-processing and some more coding. I'll see what I do first once I'm fully done with the writing.

So... A lot of work ahead, but we are making some good progress.

The quick sum up :

• Day 6 Part 6 will contain 3 new scenes: scenes 30, 31, and 32.
• Day 6 Part 6 will contain 1 reworked scene: Day 2, scene 3.
• Day 6 scene 30 is fully written, posed, rendered, and proofread. Post-processing and coding stage #2 is almost done.
• Day 6 scene 31 is fully written and posed. Rendering is ongoing.
• 21 501 words of new content so far.
• 335 shots are planned, 335 are posed, 335 are rendered.
• 5 animations have been posed. 330 / 330 frames rendered, 120 post-processed.
• I'm currently writing Scene 32.
