5 Interesting Facts about Episode 1 that you didn't know (Patreon)
Content
Fact 1: I rewrote the ending 4 times.
I really wanted to make the ending one of the best parts of the game, ann I wasn't satisfied with the first version, the second, and neither the third.
There is one part of the ending that we are still remaking to get it just perfect.
Fact 2: I remade day one from scratch and it's actually of our latest renders.
When we first started making the game, our renders looked bad, and we improved them over time (check this post about how we make our renders now)
Because quality is really important for me, I deleted over 300 renders just to get a good start to FreshWomen.
Fact 3: It took 11 months to release Episode 1, but we now have the skills to make episode 2 in around 4 months.
We spent the first 2 months designing the girls and 1 month learning the technology. We also automated a lot of manual tasks like renaming files, putting them in the right folders, converting to webp, png, jpg and such.
When we hire our second artist, we'll make twice as many renders per week.
Fact 4: There were mini-games, but I removed them.
We made a mini-game for Dance Dance Revolution, where you'd play with Julia, but it added little to the game and I scrapped it.
Fact 5: It was supposed to be much shorter
My first plan was to have around 500 renders.
But I felt it needed more and I let it grow to 1091 renders and don't regret that decision.
