Progress Report #19 - May 15, 2022
🕑 Added 2022-05-15 23:56:57 +0000 UTCHowdy folks!
It's been another busy week. I've attached the numbers below so you can see the progress. This week was getting everything into Ren'py, designing the GUI, and looking for any holes we needed to fill with dialogue and renders to make it all flow better.
Scene 4 continues to be the scene that never dies but it is close. I thought I was done, but it was newb hubris. The reason: I'd originally had a bit of dialogue at the end of the scene that led you to a forced encounter. While coding the scene I realized that some folks may want to say no, so I have to add a few renders and lines of dialogue to allow you to turn the poor girl down (you monster).
At the same time, I finished writing and am doing all of the in between renders for the Scene 5 to tie Puggy's animations together. I have 23 of 24 renders left for it (one is rendering as I type).
My personal goal is to have both Scene 4 and Scene 5 tied up either tomorrow or Tuesday while working on the writing for Scene 7, which is the last unwritten scene.
After that, it will just be posing and rendering and a little bit of coding left until we are done with the first release. With what we have completed so far, Puggy and I are as happy as we can be with everything. Every time we chat we always end it with the hopes that you all will like it as much as we do.
There are still a couple of other big hurdles to address code wise for things we have planned (not minigames... I promise. I'm not big on minigames personally, at least not for the story I'm trying to tell here). I'm hoping that they are a bit easier than planned. We will discuss those as we get closer to release.
So, without further ado...
