Dev Log #110 - Custom-made madness!

Hi all! Welcome back to another weekly dev log! Let's get into it!

Development update
For this week, I've mainly been working on smaller connecting scenes as I have used the bulk of the week to start and (nearly) finish the custom renders, of which there are nine this month, several of which are double render requests, so do look forward to a hefty monthly load of renders! Two in a row for punctuality!

Once I'm done with the render requests this weekend, I will focus back my attention on more episode rendering and start on the side story for this month, which is the Noodles side story!

It will be a quieter upcoming week as I will be head down in work and development, and mainly just getting things in order and shaping up the story flow in-game and also developing the side story!

Short-term plans
For March, there will not be any side story release as I will be using the time to fully focus on the development of Episode 3. I will try to publish a few more outfit polls during March, but overall, it is expected to be a month of full(-er) focus and just me zoning in on what needs to be done and what should be delivered after what's done!

In essence, after March concludes (or near the start of April), I will most likely have a better estimation of when the episode will be released!

Of course, the usual posts such as weekly dev logs, previews, and monthly render requests will carry on as usual, so there's nothing to worry about as I will always be looking to give up-to-date news and progress updates (and also keeping myself accountable for my work)!

----------------------------- EPISODE 3 WEEKLY BREAKDOWN --------------------
Story: 100% done. No change from last week.

Renders: 32.5% done. The total render count is 2,169, which is 112 more renders than last week. Up 2.5% from last week.

Dialogue: 40% done. A few scenes got some mild dialogue refinement, but nothing major for this week. Up 5% from last week.

Game Playability: 30% done. No change from last week.

---------------------------------- END OF BREAKDOWN ---------------------------------

In other unrelated news, I'm hoping that my new graphics card (is anyone seeing the prices of these things!?) arrives soon which would allow me to build a new system that would be a big step up from my current system, and that would let me pose and render with more ease!

Okay, with that said, I'll be getting back to work!

Stay safe and healthy!
