We're getting there, one bullet point at a time.

Development

This week has been mostly about getting the dialogues and menu choices in place. In addition to that, music has been selected and the choices and branching is done. There's still a lot to do like, phone elements, character trait scenes, some ui changes, the end of chapter screen, a roam event and a scene that is completely different depending on your trait.

Other than that, I've shortened the script quite a bit, due to finding the first version a bit too heavy on dialogue and saw it could be shortened quite a bit without losing any entertainment value.

No render/image numbers this week, as I've also re-done some animations and earlier ch5 renders week due to errors/clipping/light reflections, so my render folders are having an unusually big number of renders which don't really show the actual number for this chapter.

Chapter 5 and Cece clarification

I've seen a lot of speculation the past weeks of what is believed to be the content of this chapter. First, I know that a lot of you are on the Cece path, or interested in her story even if she's not your love interest.

As I've mentioned earlier, and would like to stress further, is that not all the girls has an equally big part in every chapter. You've already seen Lexi being absent in ch 2, Steph in ch 2+3, etc.

If you are playing the Cece path and only Cece, this chapter might have a shorter feel to it though due to content with Lexi, Steph and Holly being the main focus - plus some new faces. Cece isn't completely gone though. You will still see a bit of how their relationship has evolved, and set up the story for a strong chapter 6-8 finish from her.

Have a good weekend, and stay healty.
