Dev Update - 2023/05/26

Added 2023-05-26 11:46:51 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone,

Here we are again with a Dev Update.
My PC is currently rendering the last 5 images for the last scene before the chapter finale. Everything else for this scene is done. The scene is written, coded, and the postwork for the rendered images is done.
I'll run my tests of that scene later today. The scenes before that are already tested.

So at the end of today, it's safe to say that Chapter 3 is its final phase of development. Well, it already is since I started coding the final scene while waiting for the PC to catch up with the renders.

The chapter finale will take a while. The finales of CH1 and 2 took around 5 weeks each (CH1 starts with Paul picking you up, CH2 starts with Kaija/Cianán picking you up) but the CH3 finale will take less time as it's shorter than the first 2.

After that is done it's time for the beta test, polish, add achievements, and gallery entries etc.

I expect CH3 to be released towards the end of June. It's a rough guess and not a guaranteed release date, though.
I'll give a better estimate when the game enters beta.

The numbers for this week:
91 new static renders for a total of 965. My goal for this chapter was 800-1000 so it'll be a bit more than that.
500 new lines of code for a total of 4730 lines.

That's it for today, have a nice weekend.

Cheers,
Ceolag
