🕑 Added 2021-12-03 13:23:49 +0000 UTCShared $1 and $5 post this week due to the importance of the screenshot.
It's a very weird feeling having worked on the story for almost two years, knowing that at some point I would have to use the words that make up the story's title, knowing they will tie everything together.
So as I watched that scene, I'm not going to lie, it was an overwhelming feeling, and I ended up going outside for a bit just to soak everything in. The scene is very powerful, but heartwarming. Hopefully I've done someone proud.
But for work, I spent the most of this week doing Renpy stuff. Got 6,000 lines of dialogue, menus and variable work done. In fact I almost caught up with the completed renders, and are now only about 25 renders behind on the scripting.
I still have a few hundred renders to do for the rest of the chapter, alongside a bunch of animations and some more serious scripting. But I'm shifting attention back to the visuals for this week, and will probably do animations all through testing as well.
Numbers for now should be about the same, with a slight increase in both story renders (1,237) and animation frames (10,726) due to me rendering some filler renders where they were needed.
And with that, have a nice weekend, enjoy the season, and stay safe out there.

I have mixed feelings, when I look at this screenshot. It's gonna be so different New Year night for me. I'm looking forward to see Cece again.
