Final Chapter 4 Progress Update!
Hello my pretties! It's time for the final progress update/report for Chapter 4, and boy are there some big things to talk about! Since I completed my move, my productivity has sky rocketed, and it's been great. Patrons have enjoyed a bunch of special content, and Discord members have enjoyed great interactions.
Alright, let's get through the bread and butter and discuss the Chapter. It's been a hell of a journey. As of writing this post:
Overall design: 92%
Environments: 96%
Writing: 83%
Rendering: 72%
Animation: 78%
Code: 4%
I only have 3 scenes left to write. I know exactly where they are going, so it won't take too long. It's far easier to write at the end of the Chapter, than the beginning!
I have 5 scenes left to render, but the environments are ready to go for the most part. That is the most time consuming thing for me, creating my unique custom environments. Also, since I recently discovered the joy of the Render Queue, my rendering time has significantly improved!
Animations are mostly done. I have 4, maybe 5 left to do. Got another round of great animations for everyone to enjoy coming up
And finally, the code. The code is the easiest part for me. I have already started it, but will do the majority of it while rendering the final scene(s). There is one particular segment in this update that will be pretty tricky to code, but I have faith in getting it done.
So, that is the Chapter 4 update. I'm hoping to have C4 in the hands of the Beta Testers in about 10 days. If all goes well, I'll be able to start rolling the update out to Patrons a couple days after that.
In other news, I have finally signed up as a developer with Steam, and the BTW store page is now in review! With a little luck, I won't have to redo anything, and I'll be able to share it with everyone in a few days! It's so exciting! I do not plan to put the game on Steam until the release of Chapter 5 though, so I'm hoping you'll all at least wishlist the game, make it look popular
Thank you everyone for your continued support! I couldn't do this without you, and I'm so glad to share in this journey with each of you!
P.S. I have a very special, and long, animation of Hannah coming soon. It'll be available on Discord first, before anywhere else, so make sure you join the Discord!
