Hey everyone!
Last week went great! I actually got everything done that I set out to do, and that always feels good. The start of the week was a little slow (Mondays never fail to throw a few real-life curveballs), but by midweek I was rolling again.
I finished the last animation for the final LEWD scene of this episode, which brings us to a total of six LEWD scenes for the first part of season 2. I’m super happy with that number. It feels like the sweet spot for an episode.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal week without a little chaos. Yesterday, I ran into an annoying issue where some of my scenes started crashing when I tried to load the genitalia asset on a character. The weird part is that everything worked fine while I was editing, but the second I tried to render, boom, crash. Since it was the first time I used that asset on a LI, I didn’t see it coming and ended up losing a few hours reopening each scene to remove it and find another fix. I’ll dig into what caused it later, but for now, I’m just moving on.
Let’s check out the numbers:
Static renders: 2,895
Animations: 67
Story content: 42 scenes written (35,443 words)
Only 111 new renders since last week, but I added 12 more animations, so I’ll call that a win. I’m definitely getting more confident with the LEWD scenes too. The step up between the first I've created and the last is night and day.
The current LEWD scene is almost done. I just need to finish the post-coitus talk, and that’s today’s goal. I’m guessing there are about 30 to 35 renders left for this one. Depending on your choices, you might not get to see the LEWD part, but the dialogue afterward is important, so I’ll be doing two versions of the renders. I'd much rather have one render, two variations of scripts, but oh well, you don't always get to choose.
Once that’s done, I’ll move on to writing and creating the final two scenes during the week. If everything goes smoothly, this should be wrapped up by the end of the week. After that, I’ll add some transition animations for some scenes, create the Facegram posts, and then head into post-production. If all goes according to plan, that should start next week.
I’m honestly really happy with how this episode is turning out. It’s been a solid push, and the results are showing. That’s it for this week’s update. Time to dive back into work.
See you all next week!
