Very good game. Played it for the first time now and I had an enjoyable evening with 2 episodes. Waiting for more.

Good luck, dev.

T’was a pretty good week.
After last week's update, the bar was set pretty high. Despite being sick on Sunday and taking the entire day off, I still managed to hit some solid numbers this week.
First off, I’ve completed DAY 3 in-game. This last scene was particularly tough to create due to the sheer depth of emotions and character development involved. I won’t say much, but expect some mixed feelings after this scene. But hey, I know the story and you don’t, so you’ll just have to trust me!
On another note, I’ve increased the quality of all my renders. I'll spare you all the technical gibberish, let's just say I’ve decided to spend 1.5 to 2 times more time per image. It wasn’t an easy decision—I had to weigh whether the addition of my extra rendering rig would make up for the increased rendering time. As of now, I have about 360 images in the queue and 23 animations rendering across my machines. That’s a lot. With this much content, I’m probably good for the next 5 to 6 weeks.
That said, 14 of those animations take place in a low-light, high-spotlight environment with varying colors, which makes them incredibly demanding to render. I’m doing them in 2K resolution, and each frame still takes 15–20 minutes to render. Yikes. Once those are done, though, the queue should clear up much faster.
In the meantime, I keep creating new renders and animations. I’m currently working on the last scene for which I had written the script while on holiday in January. Tomorrow, I’ll finally get back to writing, which I haven’t done in a few weeks.
Now, let’s talk numbers:
1,160 static story images
59 animations
21 fully written scenes
I made 141 renders since last week, and 8 new animations. Those are some pretty nice numbers, considering I only worked 6 days instead of 7 this week.
There’s not much else to add for now—I’m planning to stay in full work mode until early March, as my family will be visiting for a few days. Ideally, I’d like to finish DAY 4 and get a good chunk of DAY 5 done before then.
Won’t even take a shower! (Just kidding… or am I?)
Anyway, I wish you all a fantastic week, and I’ll see you next Monday!

Well keep up the pace. There are a lot of people waiting for the next update......

The stats are looking decent! I wonder how much faster the new rigs are.

I also really liked this publisher's first game...
But the game seemed too short to me...
It's not a short game, but maybe I didn't want it to end because I liked it so much...
I hope this game doesn't end in four episodes...

I liked that there were other relationships other than the main character in this game...
Again, many beautiful women show interest in the main character, but not all women in the game are included in this...
Most importantly, we are not the only character in a relationship...

Well, I found the opposite to be true. I only played the first chapter (the original one, before Chapter 2 was released, which introduced some changes to the first chapter) and I found it quite long.

I don't know if it's because there's a lot to read or because of all the legal mumbo-jumbo :BootyTime:.

When I replayed the game granted I didn't play the game everytime I had free time just at the end of the day and when I woke up basically. Maybe once in awhile before dinner was read and took me like a week to finish Chapter 1 and 2 ( played all paths)

There will be more than 10 if I remember correctly.

At this stage unless something changes there will be 3 Seasons. (Season 1 with 3 episodes, Season 2 & 3 with 4 episodes). So 11 all up.

I could be reading the two messages (his and yours) wrong, but I think he means the original game (The Entrepreneur) felt too short. I agree on that one, it felt like it would go for longer. I'm glad it finished and allowed Law School to come into being though. I liked The Entrepreneur, but not as much as I like Law School, and for a whole variety of reasons.

I can't see this ending in four episodes, we are only two episodes in and barely into the 1st school semester. 2 more episodes doesn't give time to do anything esp given the few set ups we have had

2 posts before yours I shared the dev's plans. Definitely more than 4. :)

Yeah I saw after I posted and began to read down. I did actually do an edit quoting you, but neglected to post it before driving to work.
I was just checking, thought you might have missed it.
As long as you weren't trying to post while driving to work. :)
