v.0.21 Progress report (VI)

Added 2024-10-20 09:16:27 +0000 UTC

I think it's the first time I do a 6th progress report, but this update is on the verge of being the one with the longest development time (48 days right now compared with 0.19 49 days). The two weeks with my mother and my health issues have delayed me a bit.

I progressed a lot in the last few days.

I finished rendering the first 8 scenes, tested them, and translated everything to send them to test and proofread. The feedback from the testers is great.

I also finished writing the next 2 scenes and a teaser for 0.22, and rendered the first and part of the second. I hope to finish the main work on Tuesday.

The whole update will be ~24,300 words in Spanish/25,900 in English (6th biggest update ever) and it will have...

Drum roll...

~6,903 renders.

39 Animations with 5,309 animated frames.

Yes, I've gone a bit crazy. It's almost 1,000 renders over the biggest update until now (pool party with 5,981).

Currently, 121 renders still need to be posed/rendered and 18 should be re-rendered (I just tested the penultimate scene and discovered some mistakes). Tomorrow I will be out of Barcelona for work, so I won't be able to finish the rendering testing and translation until Tuesday. Then I will send the last scenes to proofread and, with a bit of luck, publish the update next weekend.

Just in time for my birthday, if I manage to publish on Saturday. It would be a nice coincidence if I published the first chapter of Season 3 on the third anniversary of writing the first dialogue lines.
