Dev Update #298

Summer Scent
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Posing is still ongoing. I reached shot #121.

I have lost a lot of time because of a stupid mistake. I loaded an asset (Jack's shorts) with the wrong shaders (rsl instead of mdl) and started posing with it. I didn't notice it until 30 shots later, when Jack's underwear started shining like oiled latex in a random preview. I couldn't see it before because reflections take time to resolve, and when I preview a shot, I usually don't give it enough time to properly render. As always, editing the shots took a tremendous amount of time, solely because of the excruciatingly long loading times that come with the multiple-character scenes. I wasted almost an afternoon on that, but Jack's pants finally ceased shining.

I also made a mistake when cutting the scene. Apparently, basic arithmetic is incredibly hard, to the point that I counted 20 shots more than I actually planned. The correct count is 226 shots planned for scene 32. However, I am considering adding a few more shots in some strategic places. I'll see when I'll get there.

No problems on the rendering front. Shot #82 has been rendered. We are progressing steadily.

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 scenes 30 and 31 are fully written, posed, rendered, and proofread. Post-processing and coding phase #2 are done.
  • 18 746 words of new content so far.
  • 3 331 lines of code so far.
  • 561 shots are planned, 456 are posed, and 417 are rendered.
  • 5 animations have been posed, and 2 more are planned. 330 / 330 frames rendered, 330 post-processed.
  • I'm currently posing scene 32.
