r3.6J Progress Report #2 - SEPT 22 @ 3:50 UTC (Task List)
Have reached the end of work for today. Overall, slower progress then I wanted, but moving along. One of the many reasons I'm not thrilled with episode copy scene type is that screen grabs don't slice nicely, which means I have to do them by hand, and even then they are a mess. And while there aren't too many of them, they just take hours of my life.

I've spent the vast majority of today just doing image prep, and I still have more to do (but not tonight)! Hopefully I'll be able to wrap it up tomorrow and start scene implementation.

If you need a break, take a second to check out S6E03 (the newest one), lots of fun possibilities for Ferd and you.

Not sure why you think I wouldn't have already watched the most recent episode, but I have (I watch them the day they come out), and I've talked about it already too (albeit in the Unity thread). The big issue with Space Beth is that there is no setup for her in game. Yeah, she could show up out of nowhere, and say something like the previous Rick cloned her (and probably will, with another ripped episode (sigh) scene), but part of the reason she works in the show is her setup, which the game is lacking.

If she does appear in game (and, again, I would be shocked if she didn't at some point), then she is just another version of Beth, like Fascist Beth or Hooker Beth. She isn't a main character I (personally) care much about. Yeah, she looks like Beth but there is no story element to her that has been established over the course of the game.

So do I want her? Eh, I wouldn't be unhappy with her in game (there is very little that is added to this game I would say I'm ever unhappy with (other than my own garbage art), but if it is another ripped from the episode scene, I would be less thrilled with it.

Also, I have been on "break" for more than a month, not sure I need one just yet.

Ahh yeah I don't look at the unity thread at all. You said you've been busy/traveling so I wasn't sure if you had caught it. Glad you got to watch though. Also totally agree with your sentiment about retreads of show episode with sex. Ferd def shines when he's creating and expanding the world into new territory. I'm a fan of the Jessica core story because it's one of the few we haven't seen fully play out yet (unlike beth or summer), but his last update felt a bit lazy and kind of just copy pasted from the ep.

r3.6J Progress Report #3 - SEPT 22 @ 16:25 UTC (Task List)
Finished up the slicing from yesterday. Scene 3 wasn't too bad (a LOT less show screen caps, so fewer slicing image errors). Starting in on scene 1 of 3 (which I think should be fast, since it is very short). The tricky part is working in this new scene with the existing content, but I have a pretty good plan on how to get it to fit (that's what she said).

If you're curious (and want spoiler on the layout) you can check out the current scene plan below. Note that things may shuffle around as I work on it trying to get it to flow.

Anyhow... back to work. Stay awesome!

r3.6J Progress Report #4 - SEPT 22 @ 21:05 UTC (Task List)
Scene 1 of 3 completed. It is by far and away the shortest part, so I expected it to be done quickly. It has been sent out to the editors for review while I start work on scene 2. Hopefully I'll be able to get scene 2 completed today as well. If all goes as expected I should have all the scenes in by the end of Friday~ish, then some work over the weekend.

While I still don't have a firm release date yet, I'm thinking maybe the 26th? As always I'll give more accurate times as I get closer and know how much is left.

r3.6J Progress Report #5 - SEPT 23 @ 5:20 UTC (Task List)
And scene 2 of 3 done! I've sent it out for editing, but I'm done for the day. Will be back at tomorrow with scene #3.

Lot of little extra things in this one that made it feel like it took forever (first pass QC was especially rough with a bazillion little errors).

I have one more possible alteration I want to make, but I'd like to get some feedback on it before I devote a lot of time to it (WARNING, SPOILERS below, don't expand if you want to be surprised when you play):

I’m leaning towards the citrus fruit themed color… hopefully that’s vague enough :D

... or Red (orange?) (Summer's hair color)
The "correct" term for Summer's hair colour, according to one of my ex gfs, is "strawberry blonde". :rolleyes:

TBH, I don't care about Bova enough to have a hair colour preference, but if I was to pick, maybe "Morty brown" with purple streaks. Then we could add a story line about her being a "feminist", and Morty curing her with a meat injection. :sneaky:

Odd side note, that has been in my head for a few days. Am I the only one that finds the idea of having the replay section called "Mind Blowers", a bit of an oxymoron. In the show "Mind Blowers" are the memories that Rick or Morty want to forget, but in the game, the opposite is true, these are the memories/scenes we want to replay and remember. Trying to think what they should be called, it's not illogical to assume that they might be "Mind Suckers"? :unsure:

The above also leads me to the thought ... what if Summer or Beth discovered the "Mind Sucker" vault, and were able to rewatch the scenes the way we can and do? It could lead to interesting scenarios and outcomes.
