Dev Diary 98

Hello again, TD here.

With another three weeks passed, let’s write a dev diary.

All told, Chapter 4 Update 6 sits at a total of 2,226 statics images, 60 animations, and 44,960 words.

That works out to 295 statics, 10 animations, and 4,576 words since out last report.

Things have felt a lot more steady for us work wise compared to the previous report cycle. We’re past the free roam section of the update and digging deeper and deeper into a large group scene that precedes exhibition 3 officially kicking off. It involves a lot of actor juggling, often with 7 or 8 characters on screen, but in a sense it’s just a warm up for the actual games. At any rate, expect a lot of animations (some of which have already been made) will be added to the totals by our next report.

Other than that, nothing big to note. Morale remains high, with GIL and I are equally excited for this scene just as we have been the previous ones. We’re not quite feeling the pressure of time, mostly because I feel like this update, once done, will comprehensively offer a satisfying throughline for every kind of player. We want to take our time and have no regrets. This is, after all, the next to last exhibition in the story. Something that’s been impending for 2+ years, and well, the entire reason the project exists at all thanks to me wanting to do perverted sex competitions as a scenario.

Still, we’re pretty close to where we could organically hang a cliffhanger, and we’ll make that determination then. Right now I can say I’m personally leaning toward pushing on, but we’ll see how smoothly we wrap up the remaining portion. It might depend on how smoothly this group scene goes.

As always, thank you all so much for allowing us to do what we enjoy. See you next report.
