Alright, its been a pretty decent week I'd say. While I didn't manage to finish the whole school part of the update but I did get to the last scene of it and got a decent bit of that one done as well. Probably won't finish it today though, as I've been feeling a bit under the weather since waking up and having the school part done is more so symbolical anyway.
The Mrs. Clements scene caused me a bit of trouble with me going back and forth whether to make a new map after all as I couldn't help myself to not feel a bit lazy reusing the same environment for her scene. I decided against it though, my justification being that there can be some value in having reoccurring environments, kind of like establishing it as a secret spot for her and the MC to do their thing.
I actually had a similar thought a while ago while playing through v0.9 a bit more regarding the music. While I do enjoy looking for new tracks with every update I almost feel like the variety is getting a bit too much and that using the same tracks for scenes with similar emotional contexts can almost be like training the player to get into a certain mood. There is probably a better way of describing what I mean and maybe I'm just talking nonsense but I will try to add less new music and make better use of the tracks that I have going forward.
That's just me sharing some of my thoughts though. For next month my goal will be to get done with rendering and although there are still quite a number of scenes remaining I do think that its doable. Don't take it as a promise though, as even if there is still a lot of stuff that needs doing after the rendering process is done anyway.
Anyway, that's it for my rambling, here are some teasers for most of the bigger school scenes:
