Hello everyone,
Last week sure has been busy, but great.
First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who voted for Law School in the GameStoryLog Awards. We won two awards: Favourite Game of 2025 (Jury Vote) and Most Awesome Cutie Patootie Dev (me).
It means a lot to me, guys. Thanks for your support and your votes!
Aurora also got a whopping second place as Favourite Love Interest, which is why she made this week’s devlog cover. Clearly not because I don’t have a render of Elsa to show *cough-cough*.
Anyway, to start things off, I received part of the RAM I ordered. I’m still missing two sticks for the main computer, which are currently stuck at customs. The reason I’m mentioning this is because the main reason I bought it was that one of my rendering rigs kept crashing. I replaced the RAM hoping it would fix the issue, but it didn’t.
A friend of mine has the same issue: black screens followed by the computer freezing and needing a manual restart. It happened once or twice a day over the last two weeks, then it happened six times yesterday.
I looked it up online, and after a few Hail Mary attempts to fix it, it came down to three possibilities:
Both our GPUs are defective. Very unlikely.
Windows Update messed something up and needs a fresh install. Most likely.
The motherboard is dead. Likely, but not as likely as Windows.
I’m going to replace the 5090 today with a 4090 to see if I can run it without issues. If it still crashes, that means the GPU is fine, thank God. This is a bit bothersome because my queues are very, very full, but I can’t really help hardware malfunctions and troubleshooting. It always takes time, and with three PCs, it’s bound to happen eventually.
This has been the major setback of the week. I also had to deal with some IRL stuff, but other than that, I was locked in.
I’m now working on the final scene of this event. It splits into two different endings, one of which I’ve completed, and I’m now moving to the LEWD part of this scene. I hope to be done by the end of this week. I cannot wait to move on to the first scene of Day 3.
This week has been quite tough for me. Depending on the player’s choices, drama unfolds. Girls get hurt, MC gets hurt, or the girls are happier and relationships progress. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions for me, and I didn’t expect it to hit me like that.
But I guess that makes for a good story!
Now let’s talk numbers:
Static renders: 3,687Animations: 134Story content: 49 scenes written (47,929 words)
That’s an extra 212 renders since last week. It’s been quite some time since I hit that 200 milestone, and I love it. I was locked in, and I hope this week yields the same result in terms of animations.
Because I have an idea in mind for the size of the last day, based on the scenes and events, I can now see a date in mind for finishing the 3D part of this episode. It’s still too early to talk about a potential release date, but I’m going to do my best to let you know as soon as we get closer.
But anyway, I think that’s it for this week. I’m excited to work on this LEWD and finally put it behind me. I need to move the story forward, and that’s exactly what this third day is for.
I’ll get back to work now, and in the meantime, I wish you all a great week.
