Episode 7 Progress Update #4

Episode 7 Progress Update #4

I wasn't able to get writing done like I'd planned because I was pretty locked in on getting the animations right. It took me a few days to figure everything out and get things right. Another thing I did was go back and convert all the images from previous episodes, so that took up a lot of my time, too. But I was able to get that done at least.

Here's bullet point rundown of what I need to do.

-Render one last scene. There are some other scenes I have to go back and render because of some mistakes I noticed but besides that, every scene is finished.

-Render the last few animations. I'm trying not to go overboard and take too long, so I'll pull back and push them into the next episode if I feel like there are too many.

-Finishing editing all of the other renders. I've started editing the renders and inserting them into the files. I should be able to get a good bit of it done over the course of next week.

-Finish setting the base code. Once I do that, I have the template so that I can start writing.

Once rendering images, animations and editing is done, I can focus completely on writing and coding to put the episode together. Even though I can write while stuff is rendering, I have to admit that it's kinda distracting to multi-task. As more things get done, I can pay more attention to the writing.

I don't know where the finish line is but we're a lot closer than before. I'm looking forward to sharing the finished episode with you all. Thanks for your patience.

The coffee shop is out of commission but you've still got work to do. You, Riley and Billy have a lot to figure out. What sort of plan will you come up with now that the unexpected has happened?

Erika won't be too happy after hearing about what happened. Maybe she can help you get to the bottom of this mystery...

Thanks again for your patience, everybody. I'm trying to balance between getting everything perfect and being efficient to get things done. I'm looking forward to this episode because I've got a lot of story to tell. Thanks for sticking around.

Leave a message if there's anything you want to say. Enjoy the weekend. Take care and I'll see you next week.
