Dev Log #28 - Wrapping up opening day!

Hey everyone, welcome to another weekly dev-log update! It has definitely been night and day since the last update I posted in terms of progress, as I've been picking up the slack that I left behind during the low productivity of last week, so let's get into it!

A productive week
On the rendering front, I've made significant headway and completed the posing/rendering of the second half of Day 3, and will be starting posing/rendering of Day 4 over the weekend! In general, the finalized content of Day 3 is aimed to be pretty tame at this point and will be used to introduce a sizable amount of characters into the game; five characters, to be precise, who are a mix of previously seen characters that were not named as well as all-new characters!

Dialogue/game-wise, there are currently seven planned (and rendered) scenes on Day 3 (I classify scenes as a "change of location") and the dialogue/game is currently up to the fourth scene. This is slow, no question about it, but I'll be looking to hone in on a specific day to fully flesh out and pump out the dialogue for the first day, and subsequently follow this workflow for consecutive in-game days.

Render requests
As it has been the topic of mention over the last two weeks, I'm happy to say that I'm working on the last backed-up render request and will be ready to upload it sometime in-between this week and the next for Supporter tiers and above (just in time for April, too!). I hope you all look forward to it as much as I am when I finish them up and have them uploaded!

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

In summary, here's a quick breakdown of progress so far:
Story: 70% done. Day 3 and Day 4 scenes are finalized, with the remaining days being arranged. Up 10% from last week.
Dialogue: 10% done. Generally slower than what I would want it to be, but I'll be pushing hard now that I have all of the Day 3 renders completed. Up 2.5% from last week.
Rendering: 17.5% done. With Day 3 done, I'll be looking to pick up posing/rendering Day 4 over the coming weekend! Up 7.5% from last week.
Gameplay: 10% done. Up 2.5% from last week.

It has definitely been a better week than before, even if the dev log happens to be shorter than usual! I'm hoping to keep up this momentum in the following weeks as I really start getting into the "meat" of the content.

Thank you and stay healthy! I'll see you all next week!
