Hey friends, hope you're all doing well this week! Hopefully the hurricane/storms that swept up through the southeast corner of the US didn't affect any of you good folks. I caught a tiny bit of it here in the midwest, with some sections of my city losing power. But, I was fortunate enough not to have any real problems.
I'm happy to say that the shopping scene for Chapter 10 is officially complete, aside from a little touch-up I need to do for a handful of renders. Current render count stands right around 1030. I'm now working on Mason's big ero scene, which I hope to have finished within the next few days. Then there's a little bit of connective scene tissue I need to work on too. Basically, I just need a short scene (10-20 renders) of the player dropping off/picking Mason up from the optometrist, and then a 30~ render conversation scene transitioning from the Mason storyline, over into Gabby's content. Pretty sure I can knock both of those little sections out in a day.
Today I'm stuck at my day job, so I've been poring over the script, seeing if there's any improvements I could make. I always get this weird feeling of nervousness before I release a new chapter, and this time's no different. I remember that, when writing Brittani's photoshoot scene way back in Chapter 4, I was convinced I'd completely fumbled the whole thing, and everybody was going to hate it. On the contrary, I think it stands as one of the more highly-regarded scenes/chapters to date. But, there's always that little perfectionist voice in the back of my head whispering, "Better! Faster! More!"
Perfectionism aside, I'm feeling pretty proud of this one. It's bigger than I planned, and touches more characters than I intended to. But, I think it hangs together well as part of Guy's Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, and ultimately culminates in some things that will set up the next big phase of the story.
I'll be working hard to get it into your hands as soon as possible, but until then: take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!
