Dev Update (Patreon)

Hi folks,

Just to keep you updated on episode 19 development.  (Skip to the summary section if you don't want to read the spiel).

As of today, we finally finished updating ALL of the beach house images.  As mentioned in a previous post, we weren't happy with some aspects of the beach-house art, so we wanted to re-do a chunk of the images.   However, as we went through it, we realized that it didn't make sense to just upgrade some of the art (because there'd be a quality mis-match) so we ended up improving / re-doing every single image in the beach house scene ( > 220 images in this scene alone).  All of our original images will eventually be available for anyone that gets access to the "cutting room floor" tier perk so you'll see we aren't bullshitting you about re-doing everything.  

It obviously took quite a bit of time but we're really happy with how these new images have turned out.

So at the moment, ALL still images for Episode 19 are completed (>400 images).  

The art priority for this week is the animations for the Beach house scene as we want to try to get a decent amount of anims in (Anims for the other scenes are already complete and just need to be rendered over the next couple of days).

Script-wise:  Expecting to have a completed draft of the full episode this weekend.

I was aiming for an end-of month release but I think I'll have to push by a week to give us time to get a beta out for some testing / feedback  (and complete our own run-throughs & variable checks) to ensure that the final version is up to scratch.

****************************Summary************************

Beta release at the end of this month (November, just in case you're not sure).

Final release one week later.

I'll publish the link for everything before the end of this month to ensure that anyone who drops their pledge in November still gets access to their November tier.

Thanks,

CG, Ace, Cell
