Dev Log #105 - Keeping up the pace!

Hey all, welcome back to another weekly dev log! This week, I'll be mainly discussing the most recent poll results for Rachel's outfit and a few more details as we are now in mid-January of the new year! Let's get into it!

Poll winner
The winner of the style and color of Rachel's outfit is....

Calm Night! 

A landslide victory for the dark and flowery design, perhaps an analogy to what she wouldn't tell Cara? Perhaps?

As always, thank you everyone for participating in the poll! Do look forward to seeing this outfit in-game for Episode 3!

Development update
Speaking of Episode 3, development on it has been going smoothly, with me bouncing back and forth between scriptwriting (i.e. dialogue going together with renders) and rendering proper!

While it is hard for me to share details of what I'm exactly working on without spoiling potentially fun/crazy scenes, I want to assure everyone that there is progress!

On other fronts...
I'm also halfway into finishing the custom renders for this month; in keeping with my past year's promise of delivering the renders in the same month itself, I'm working doubly hard to ensure everything is ready before the next month (in this case, February) rolls along!

I will be looking to start and finish Alexis' side story in the coming week along with the Lunar New Year side story, also preparing it for an end-of-January(-ish!) content update!

Some minor clarifications
With side stories becoming more of a mainstay akin to filler content in mangas/comics, there is one thing for me to mention regarding some terminologies I may use moving forward.

Because the monthly side story may or may not come with a seasonal flavor story (i.e. Christmas/Halloween), I will be referring to these types of content as a "Content Update", which I have referred to as such in recent updates!

This term generally refers to the update containing non-canon side stories of the current month and is not meant to include past side stories.

----------------------------- EPISODE 3 WEEKLY BREAKDOWN --------------------
Story: 90% done. No change since the last update.

Renders: 27.5% done. 172 new renders were added since the last breakdown, the total now stands at 1604 renders. Up 2.5% since the last update.

Dialogue: 25% done. Working on the main story scenes in-game. Up 5% from the last update.

Game Playability: 15% done. Renders/visuals are being updated as I write the dialogue in-game. Up 5% from the last update.

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

As we move into the latter half of January, do look out for an upcoming poll that will decide February's side story, which will bring two all-new side stories and one returning side story as poll options!

And as usual, stay safe and healthy!
