Dev Log #31 - Steady as she goes!

Hi all! Another week; another dev log, it is hard to believe we are already a third into the year 2023 and I hope everyone is well!

Slower than expected
A point of note that is described below is that the progress of development is noticeably slower than what was described in previous dev logs, where I expected to be done with Day 5 before May arrives. However, as of now, I'm halfway into developing Day 4. This is something I'm acknowledging as I want to reassure everyone that, despite this slowed progress, this does not change my original release date of mid-May to end-of-June, although a mid-May release is looking less and less likely. I'll keep everyone updated in terms of this window and the eventual release date!

Progress update!
For updates, in terms of rendering, I am currently posing/rendering halfway for the third H-scene of Day 4, with the fourth one being moved to the morning of Day 5. I'll be looking to complete the in-between shots (after my return in May) of Day 4 as well before having the entirety of the Day 4 dialogue catch up to Day 5.

Reviewing the story, the events of Day 6 and Day 7 have been planned (i.e. the events that will link all story-related events together) and they are definitely exciting scenes to look forward to! I will be taking the time to finalize them after my return and get to work on them immediately following the work on Day 5.

As mentioned above, the dialogue has not progressed much since last week, with it being at the same point as it was last week, which is a quarter of the way into Day 4. This will progress greatly once I finish up on Day 4 and head into the development of Day 5!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In summary, here's a quick breakdown of progress so far:
Story: 85% done. Days 6 and 7 have initial plans which are looking to be finalized. Up 15% from last week.
Dialogue/Gameplay: 20% done. No progress from last week.
Rendering: 30% done. The final H-scene of Day 4 is halfway done (slower than expected), with in-betweens pending before the posing/rendering of Day 5. Up 5% from last week.

Overall, it definitely feels like a slow month for me as April begins to wrap up and I will be looking to turn up the pace for May once I return from my absence, which I will be using to refresh my mind and also to come back more productive and raring to go!

Thank you and stay safe!
