🕑 Added 2021-07-09 11:55:28 +0000 UTCThere's some things to cover this week, so I'll jump right into it.
Progress
First of all, it's been an extremely productive week. I think I've rendered more than I've done in any single week before. In addition to that I spent 2 days building what will be the centrepiece scene of this chapter and completed the light-test renders (which I don't add to the render count).
That scene will probably consist of somewhere between 300-500 renders alone, with countless different staging possibilities due to who your girl is, or other earlier choices, and consist of a total of 11 people at the same place at the same time.
This weeks renders bumps the render count up to 820 story renders and 8,522 animated frames. It also leaves me somewhat behind on the renpy part, so at some point I will have to abandon renders for a bit and go all in on the scripting in order to catch up.
Leap of Faith figurines and possible competition
I've ordered the first of what will hopefully be several Leap of Faith figurines. This one is of Cece. I really want to host some kind of competition to give it away with the release of the new chapter, but there are Patreon rules to which kind of competition I can host. Most notably:
1. The contest can't be for patreons only if the winner is determined by luck (ea. number draw).
2, The contest can be held for patreons only if it's to be a creative competition where I decide upon a winner.
3. Alternatively, I can create a special tier spot, limited to 1 person, where the first to pick it up wins (this removes the luck factor/competition, and then acts as a reward instead).
Please feel free to share your opinion in the comments if you'd like a competition like this.
That's it for this week. Enjoy the season and stay safe.
