Dev Diary 98
Hello all, TD here.
Ch4Up6 currently sits at 2,350 static images, 77 animations, and 48,530 words.
Which works out to 124 statics, 17 animations, and 3,570 words since the last dev diary.
A drop off compared to the last dev diary, but not every static or animation is created equal (one of the animations has like 8+ people in it for example). As mentioned last time, GIL is balls deep in a group scene that is the culmination of several character threads unspooled over the free roam. I'd say we're about 70% done with that, currently at the tail end of the first of two endings. That napkin math may seem weird, but they share the same lead in and quite a few animations so I'm hoping by the next report this scene and then some will be behind us. The scene we're working on after will actually be the theoretical terminus for potentially ending the update, but GIL and I both remain ambivalent about what to do. There's quite a bit of content in this update already, enough to justify a release, and giving you guys something would be a boost to our morale. However, we also know completing the full exhibition in a single update will be a more satisfying experience. We might actually do a poll on this, not to definitively let you guys make the choice for us, but to satiate our curiosity on what the silent portion of our supporters would prefer. If we **did** end the update here, our utmost goal would be to get the next half out over 3-4 months.
Anyway, that's for future us. Right now we'll keep to the trenches. As always, thank you so much for your support and enabling us to do what we love doing.
