Hello everyone,
So, last week turned out pretty nice. It had a moderate start, but a great finish. I’d say I’m back to my normal pace now. Whether it was scene fatigue, stress, or flirting a little too much with burnout for too long, I think it’s behind me for now.
I managed to create about 90 renders throughout the weekend, which is great. I decided to take it easy at the beginning of the week, and that was probably the smart call. It started with a tough scene to set up, especially lighting-wise, and then I wanted to do something a little special with it, which forced me to put some restrictions on myself. It was tricky, but I’m happy with how it turned out.
All in all, pretty satisfied.
This second freeroam has 6 different scenes and a LEWD scene. I’ve completed two of them, and I’m almost done with the third one. I think it should be finished either today or tomorrow. After that, the next 3 scenes are all smaller than the ones I’ve done so far, and then finally comes the LEWD scene. That one is a rather big one, since there’s a lot of character bonding beforehand.
I’m hoping I can get all of that done between this week and the next before moving on to the final part of this Halloween event.
Now, let’s talk numbers:
Static renders: 2,823Animations: 114Story content: 43 scenes written (43,721 words)
Close to 170 renders since last week. It's pretty nice, still a little short of what I usually do, but I think this week will bring better numbers.
I also had to rewrite one of the smaller scenes after coming up with a better idea. It felt more suited to the characters and their temperaments, and the first version was a little too close to another scene I had already written, so that’s a double win in my book. I’m looking forward to working on that scene now.
Other than that, I’ve ordered a new custom song for Miss E for this episode, which is pretty dope. I should receive it tomorrow.
Progress is good. Those last 2-3 weeks were a little rough, but I’d say we’re finally back on track.
I don’t think I’ll break 3k renders before the end of this month, but it should happen in time for the next devlog. The fact that it’s soon to be May is crazy scary. I’m still hoping to maintain my June release, but if I could stop adding content, that would definitely make things easier lol.
Anyway, that was it for this week’s devlog.
I also wanted to mention that some guys on my server have been organizing contests for a few weeks now, and this week it's a hand-drawn drawings of characters from Law School. Over paint, or in real life, or whatever, really. We’ve received a few already, and I’m not sure what yet, but I’ll try to come up with a prize for the winner. The winner will be decided this Saturday in VC.
So if any of you like drawing, feel free to join the server this week and show us your art!
I’ll get back to work, and in the meantime, I wish you all a great week.
