Personally, I have to get the Kleenex ready so I can play this all again.
I am glad it will end with so many happy endings.
Getting there means I force myself to do Chapter 6 all over again.
Peace

Nothing too important to report this week, and that's always a good thing. It means things have been running smoothly.

There's progress on all fronts, stills, animations, music, and scripting and I'm crossing out things on my bullet list one after another.

I mentioned last week I wanted to complete most parts except the concert, and I'm almost there. I still have lots to do on the concert scene but I had to do some tinkering with a Daz script that was no longer working. It was a really old and out-of-date script that I managed to get working with 8.1 characters, which will save me a lot of time in the remaining weeks.

I've also been rendering the teaser for my next game, which you can see a bit of above. So enjoy this little teaser of the teaser. Some of the girls you've seen before, some are new. Synne, Celeste, Paige, and Siwan.

This week, my company also was approved by Apple as a verified developer, so things are looking good for the iOS release.

I've also been looking into the Unreal Engine as a potential engine for a game. I would love to make something in the style of Life is Strange, but also realize that big projects like my next game/VN will at some point require thousands of renders to give you the kind of branching I want to give you. A simplified 3d environment will be able to recreate Daz quality renders in real time, and could potentially be an enormous development time saver for the later parts of a branching VN/story. Anyway, I feel it's worth looking into.

Have a nice weekend, and stay safe out there.

No numbers this week, though Drifty did imply we might not be finished with animations yet. Hopefully we're still on pace for the release.

I'm not sure what to make of Drifty's next game, though. It seems like a Unreal engine wouldn't mesh well with the detailed renders he was showcasing. And I suspect it would lose a lot of elegant simplicity I like about Ren'Py. I guess we'll have to wait and see how things pan out, but for now I'm more interested in seeing how Leap of Faith ends than starting a new story.

I don't think he's talking about making the next game in Unreal, but rather making the environment (and maybe characters) and having easier (?) control over the environment and still be high-quality CG? At least that's how I read it, and that he was interested in someday making a game inside that type of system.
