Hey, folks! Hope you're all doing well this week. Real life's been kicking my ass this week, as I've been forced to address some rotten fence posts that surround my house. I spent several hours going to town with a shovel, sledgehammer, and bigass wrecking bar, and only did nominal damage. Good stress relief, though.. Then I turned to YouTube and found a tutorial on using a big jack and a length of chain to yank the concrete out of the ground, and hot damn. That's a heck of a trick. This has precisely nothing to do with why you come here, but hey, I like filling you folks in on my foolish misadventures.
Moving on! Work on the next chapter continues, and I'm working towards getting a new demo build for Chapter 11 ready by month's end. As usual, it'll probably come down to the wire. This has left me with limited time to futz with the rest of Season One that I still need to integrate. This is further complicated by the fact I need to address a few scenes with some artistic goofs, some of which will require some re-rendering. But, they should be easy enough fixes.
There's a bit with Viola where her hair is clipping through her face. It doesn't look terrible, but it looks bad enough to me that I want to address it.
Then there's the issue with the disappearing wine glasses during Ashe's jacuzzi scene. I should be able to get away with doing most of these via simple cut-and-paste in my art program of choice, but I'll need to run renders for a few images that are at different angles.
There's been a small (good-natured) debate on Discord over what I should actually call the next chapter. I'd been calling it Chapter 11, but now it'd really be something else, since I renumbered the previous chapters. But some folks said it should really be Season 2, Chapter 1. I'd been mulling it over a bit, but then the answer came to me while I was watching anime.
For this show, Crunchyroll carried over the episodic numbering from the last episode of season one to the first episode of season two, and.. I dig it! If it's good enough for My Dress Up Darling, it's good enough for me!
Alright, that's enough rambling from me. Hope you all have a great week! May your fences never rot, and your shojo anime always bring you the answers to life's hard questions. As always, take care of yourselves -- and thank you for your support!
