Hi mate, thanks for asking. I've moved from Blender to Cinema 4D bought an annual license for Cinema 4D and Octane render. Bought a shitload of assets at Blackfriday/BlackWeek/Cybermonday/Cyberweek whatever. The school is almost finished now. I settled with a mix between "School's Out" Asset from Daz3D, Nimikko's Japanese Assets at CGTrader and Unreal Marketplace and SbbUtutuya's asset from Unity Assetstore.

Here is the 1st floor with the dissected remains of the original School's out asset in the background.
I also changed the story a bit, added a conspiracy that overtakes the agency Alona works for. Alona just escapes before the Agency headquarter is stormed by military troops. Colonel Hugo is either killed, arrested or maybe escaped himself, but Alona doesn't know what happened to him when she takes the flight to Japan the next day. Kanji is an operative of the Japanese Intelligence. Out of friendship to Colonel Hugo he sets Alona up with the apartment and a limited cash reserve in return he wants her to run a few operations for him. Kanji is also the person who brings Alona equipment in return for cash of course, something like a shop.
I also added a couple of new contacts Alona will run into. One of them will be Ben who in this alternate reality has completely enslaved Rachel and is using her to run a shady business.
There is now a rough design of a chain of Antagonists up to the root of all evil, which my version of Alona will be able to bring down in a final ending, several love stories between different characters in the game, several paths Alona can chose depending on the players preferences. In school there are a lot more Bully interactions, most original events have been woven into some kind of storyline. The English lessons now have topics that lead from simple presents through all 12 or 13 English tenses as well, as things like prepositions, colocations, idioms and so on. The office story now runs parallel to the school, you don't have to finish the school story to start the office story.
Other than that, I finally was able to setup three different Computers with dedicated tasks. I have one fileserver in Linux that is doing all the storage and backuping things. One workstation and one renderserver for Daz3D. They're all build from spare parts and second hand goods, but work nicely so far and I barely spent money for it.
Unfortunately no nude pics of Alona yet, will probably sample some scenes together in a few days, stay tuned ;-).
