Happy Friday!
Big milestone reached this week - all animations for episode 12 are now posed! If I counted correctly, the total number of animations for episode 12 will be 431.
I have just completed the last lewd scene of the episode. 101 animations are currently in the render queue, and that number won't increase. It's a big number as it accounts for 23% of the episode's animations, but the render speed is good, and I don't have any pesky animations in the queue waiting to render.
I have tried my best to estimate the render time based on the remaining frames to render and the average daily produced render count. The average daily render count will vary because there are 7 different lewd scenes in the render queue, and each scene has different render times.
My current estimate is that it will take between 52 and 57 days to complete the render queue, given no interruptions. I will keep you updated on this estimate, and I hope it improves, as I'm eager to release this behemoth. Beta testing will commence when the queue has finished - or is near finished, if possible.
Next up, I plan on playing more variations of the branch I've been working on. The good news is that even with more variations to play, most of the content is already in place. I'm fairly positive there won't be any more scenes added to the episode, just some extra renders and lines of dialogue here and there.
I'll also start working on the Special Render sets for Isabella and Camila soon. Then I'll focus on playtesting and polishing the episode.
I've gotten lots of playtesting done already, as I've worked on each main girl branch over the last few months. Currently, the others branch need the most playtesting. There are lewd scenes and scenes I haven't even seen in-game yet.
I also have some other game-related tasks to work on. One of those is the walkthrough, which needs to be written and coded into the game for the upcoming Steam/GOG release.
And I need to run a paranoid test of the save transfer to S4 as well, as nothing would be worse than finding out that players couldn't import their saves into S4 later on.
So, to sum up, there's still work to do, but it's all about wrapping up the development from here on in and waiting for the queue to complete.
Have a nice weekend
