Happy Friday!
I started the week by wrapping up work with the main girl branch I've been working on for the last couple of weeks. It felt like every time I completed a playthrough of that branch, I came up with a new way of testing it. But now, I believe I have covered all bases.
After that, I worked through a to-do list of 70+ fixes I had noted during my playthroughs. So, I took a break from playing by working on those. Most were relatively quick to fix, but a few involved issues I found with mini-games. I went ahead and thoroughly playtested the affected mini-games, and now it's all good.
After that, I started playing another main girl branch. If you kept track, I have this one and one more main girl branch left until I'm done adding content to the episode.
This branch is easier to work with than the last, but also requires multiple playthroughs and attention to detail. I have finished one playthrough of the branch and started creating the missing content for it. I wrote two scenes and created art for them, and I'm now working on a lewd scene.
Speaking of lewd scenes, I have now decided that there will be just one more lewd scene to go after I finish this one.
So, to sum up what's left to do before beta testing:
Create missing content for 2 main girl branches
Create 2 more lewd scenes
Wrap up SFX and Music work
Wait for the animation queue to complete
Write the missing the Bios entries
Write the missing episode report entries
Finalize the credits section for Season 3 (I'll let you know when I'm about to do it in case you wish to be in the credits. This will be the last chance to appear in the Season 3 credits.)
Create the recap section at the start of episode 12
Test Discord Rich presence integration (the code is written, and everything surrounding it has been prepared)
Playtest and polish all branches
The wait for the animations to render will be a bottleneck, and I will estimate the time required once I'm done creating the remaining content.
Have a nice weekend
