2 weeks to go! (insert some kind of pepe freaking out here).
It sounds like much, but for me this is the two weeks where I improve upon a chapter the most. Let me give you a little rundown on my schedule the last two weeks before a release.
The second to last (this) week is all about finishing up every scene that's planned to be in the chapter and give it a playthrough on each girls path. Normally I find a lot of places where I can add or improve upon the chapter by inserting additional renders and rewrite some dialogue to make the chapter more forward flowing and consistant.
In addition to that, I add all the small stuff, like additions to the phone, nukes, messaging, camera, trait and girl scores, scene differences based on your trait, end screen, music additions, sfx, etc, etc.
Next weekend, the chapter is off to beta testing and proofreading. While that is being done and I adjust everything reported back to me, I finish up the last scenes which as of now is half of a lewd scene and five different endings to the chapter.
On the release date itself I have to upload everything to Mega and Drive on duplicate accounts, for both mac and pc versions. This is due to the extreme traffic the first hours where I have traffic equal to my monthly normals every single hour, and I really want to avoid temporary shutdowns. In addition to that, there's the Itch upload. All in all close to 60gb of uploads.
It's a hard few weeks, but great fun as I see everything come together as I imagined it. I can't wait to show it to you.
Oh, and the girl up there. Meet Siwan. You'll get to enjoy more of her in my next game. :)
Have a nice weekend, and as always, stay safe.
