Hi all!
Just a little update to let you know where I'm at.
I completed the Ivy scene yesterday and played through etc. I wasn't totally happy with it. It felt too shallow and needed to provide more opportunity to actually get to know Ivy a bit more, so I added another bunch of dialogue, meaning I had to add an additional 80-100 images. They are all done now, and I've just played through and it's WAY better.
Only things left to do is add a few additional sound effects that I noticed I'd missed, code the notebook items, add the scene replay feature, and it should be good to go.
Realistically, it won't be ready for tomorrow (valentines day) which I what I was aiming for, but hopefully I'll get it to you by Sunday.
Following this, there' only 2 more scenes for the afternoon (Kaite and Jane), then I think 3-4 more scenes for the rest of the episode, then that's it! It's certainly going to be a bit of a slog to get it all done by the end of March, but that's what I'm hoping for.
I've booked time off in March for my wife's birthday, but I booked additional days to work on the game and push it though.
I can see the end line in sight for the entirety of Episode 3, and it's taken a bloody long time, but it's almost there! The reason I'm feeling more confident is due to these patreon releases.
It's nice to know that this content has already been played, and I've gained feedback on it. It's so useful and very much appreciated.
It's past midnight here now in the UK, so I'm going to head to bed!
Speak soon!
