Dev Update
April 13 9:20am
Hi All,
Just a quick update to say that I plan on having those last bits of the gym scene completed and ready for QC testing in the next 5 hours. I spent yesterday adding a new part to the gym scene. Two ideas came to me and once they were in my head, I couldn't NOT put them in...so that was a little extra writing AND art but it's done now. I know I said all art and writing was done on Monday but I'm sure you'll be glad of the extra two additions once you play it. Teasers of yesterday's additions are below. And I promise there will be no more extra flourishes. Since yesterday, art and writing are DONE! DONE! DONE!
BTW The gym scene required me having to write 4 different scenes to cover different scenarios (dating Katie, dating Jenna, dating both, etc.) so hopefully you'll appreciate that for every option you play, there are multiple options you don't see (but that we still wrote).
I also told you I would post daily updates but I went for a 1 hour power-nap last night at 1am but ended up sleeping through until this morning so hence the silence yesterday.
So after the next few hours, I will leave with the gym scene with the QC team until tomorrow to test it. And I will do the max scores calculations for the stats screen - We always have to leave that until the end until scores stop changing - This is a manual process as we have to step through each variable change and tot it up. (Awkward due to the multiple options).
And Ace and I will continue with our own playthru testing (trying to test every scenario) in parallel to the QC team. So very best case scenario...Will release the game late tomorrow night. More probable- It will be sometime on Friday. Barring a complete disaster, it shouldn't be any later than that. And the chance of a disaster is very, very low considering how much we've already tested and how close we are to the end.
That is for the official/final release of episode 22.
