Teaser (1)
This week, I had no choice but to give you all a sneak peek at one of the new characters that will appear in chapter 5. Sorry, I need to keep her name a spoiler for now. This was one of my favorite renders so far.
Well, after the release this week, I wanted to jump right into chapter 5. I'm pretty excited for chapters 5 and 6 of The Perfect Town for several reasons, most of which I still need to keep to myself for now. However, it does get us a little closer to the main storyline and back to everyone's favorite characters.
Enough jibber jabber, let's talk some numbers. This week, the focus was on the update and responding to questions, so I couldn't get quite as much work done yet. However, I was able to complete 63 renders and 2 animations. Next week, I should be able to get back on track to hit my normal numbers of 70-100 renders.
Side projects: I know I planned to get the new character poll back and running again, but I got sidetracked. I hope to get it addressed this week. I am also working on the special Halloween render, too. I feel really good about 4 of the characters I made. I really want to get 1 or 2 more characters done before Halloween.
Other things of note. A fellow content creator reached out to help me with a new text box for the game. From what I have seen so far, I think it is going to be great. We are also talking about adding a replay gallery option, too. I make no promises, but hopefully both will be ready for the chapter 5 release. Programming is one of my weak points, but it is nice to find those in this industry who like to help each other out.
Well, I think that is all I have to say for now. If you haven't joined my Discord, I hope you will and chat with me and other fans there. That is all for now. Have a great week, everyone.
Teaser (2)
Another week and another new character to the story. This one is someone special again, but we need to wait for chapter 5 to learn her name and why she is where she is. Wait, is that...
Ok, let's talk numbers. I had a decent week, still not back to those 100 render weeks, but I am getting closer. I completed 80 renders and 2 animations. This brings the total count so far to 143 renders and 4 animations. I know the animation counts seem high for this early in the development for a chapter, but I lost a big day to render again, and those are the best days to run animations, which take 6-10 hours for those 7-second renders.
Side projects: New poll is up now, for simple eye makeup for a new character. My goal is to get another poll up this week for further customization. I made some further progress on the Halloween render. I'm up to 5 costumes now. Still trying to figure out who will be the last one, but hopefully I will decide soon. I also need to get the Ward tier custom render done and the November calendar finished up this week.
Personal stuff: I'm going to lose another weekend day for work to get a house ready for sale; this will be three weekends in a row; it does impact my progress, but once again, I will have an animation running while I am getting that house in order.
Well, I think that is all for now. I have a busy week to get ready for, I'll talk to you all later.
