Dev Log #94 - Storywriting for days!

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

Episode 3 progress update!
The bulk of work this week involves mainly building on existing scenes and shaping them depending on player choice and how each path flows!

Without spoiling too much about this, an example is whether you choose to have Cara help one person or the other near the second half of Episode 2. In keeping with the spirit of "choices matter" in Cara in Creekmaw, these two characters will look to offer up different scenes, deeper choices, and a variety of unique and spicy scenes!

Other than coming up with the overall structure of these two split paths, there is also work being done on the common scenes, which aim to tie the whole package together! With how the characters have developed over the past releases, it's a matter of bringing it all together (the tough part) and then executing it (i.e. via renders and dialogue).

While the planning phases are still ongoing, rest assured that the render queue is still nice and full as scenes come to fruition!

Side story progress update!
As Halloween creeps closer, the progress on the two new side stories continues as I am also developing these renders in parallel with the episode's development! Of course, do note that the render number below for Episode 3's progress does not include the renders created for these side stories!

Other small updates
Before the end of October, I will also be holding a poll to decide the next side story for November, and at least one costume poll for Episode 3, so do look out for those polls coming soon!

Last but not least, there will be no side story vote for December but there will be a Christmas special side story to look forward to! More details will soon follow nearer to the end of 2024!

---------------------------------------- EPISODE 3 WEEKLY BREAKDOWN --------------------------
Story: 65% done. The structure of the episode is just about finalized with major plot points plotted out, what's left to do is to fill the gaps with the appropriate scenes and plan the general flow! Up 15% from last week.

Renders: 4% done. 127 new renders were added this week, now totaling 287 renders. Up 1.5% from last week.

Dialogue: 5% done. No change from last week.

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

That's all for this week! I will be looking to share more in the coming weeks! In the meantime, stay safe and healthy!
