Hiya guys.
There are now a total of 496 images and 10 animations. The last animation I made is 40 seconds long. I don't think I will be making any more animations this long. It takes far too long to render them. It also makes the animation a fairly large size. And it makes it difficult to figure out how to add dialogue to animations. I could hard code text into the clip but this would leave anyone who is relying on text-to-speech to read with not knowing what is happening. Once we do a beta build I will check if an animation this long works well. If not I will just have to break it down into smaller parts, which should be fairly easy as the animation (as well as the previous one I made) is actually made of 5 separate parts and edited into a long one in a video editor.
I am getting very close to finishing this route. Playthrough length just for this part will be somewhere between Chapters 1 and 2 if you've played every possible route in those chapters.
I guess that's about all that I have right now.
Have a great weekend.
Sit tight, smile wide.
