discussion Complete VN Ren'Py DAZ The List [0.13] [Uncle Loco]

[Uncle Loco]

I am thrown off on what day it is so I apologize for not posting this earlier today.

Spoiler: TPT Chapter 1 teaser

Officer Fayth on duty, or taking a coffee break? I wonder who she is talking to.

Let's talk numbers. This week I completed 86 renders and 0 animations, which brings the total count to 317 renders and 2 animations. I still have not hit the 100 render goal yet, but this is due to making a lot of new characters and locations. Once I get most of the characters completed and the locations the counts will start increasing faster again.

My work schedule is a little messed up this week so I am not sure what bonus content I will be able to get to this week. Well, that is all for now.

The game has themes like death. I knew it from the star when I looked the pictures. Some definitely look like corpses. Hope fore the best for my HDD

New status and teaser TPT

Spoiler: TPT Chapter 1 teaser

Wait a minute I thought Izzy wore glasses. I wonder who she is with and why it is so empty there.

Let's talk some numbers while you try to figure out who she is with. So this week was a great week for renders I finally hit the 100 mark and completed 108 renders, but 0 animations. This brings the total count to 425 renders and 2 animations. I am on track still for a December release date as well.

As for side work, I have another odd work week so that might make the side stuff not get addressed again. I figure you would all rather have me focused on the update anyway. I did get one side project done, but you will have to wait until Dec 1st to see it. Well, that is all for now.

 

[Uncle Loco]

I know I typically wait until Thursday to post these here, but with tomorrow being a holiday I am not sure if or when I will be able to get to my PC tomorrow so you guys get it here a day early.

Hmmm, I wonder what is happening to Officer Libby. Did someone say something to her? Did she see the scenes I was working on this week? I guess we just have to wait a little longer to find out.

Ok, numbers time. This week I completed 90 renders and 2 animations. Which brings the total counts for Chapter 1 to 515 renders and 4 animations.

I also completed renders for the game's main menu and 21 renders that are for the new relationship tracker. Most of these were sent over to the person making it for me. I don't think I will get much work done this week on the game with the holiday and with projects going on at work, but don't worry I am still on track to get the game out in December. I am going to try to get out another character sheet this week too.

So what is left to do? I have 2 scenes to render both are on the larger side, and both need tweaks to the dialog. After that, the coding can begin. Once the coding is done I can test the game and send it off to the proofreader. When the proofreader gets it I have a bunch of small things to do like write-ups for the game intro, create some artwork for the game, and update the banner here.

For those in the US Happy Thanksgiving, and for those not in the US I hope you have a great black Friday. Stay safe out there.

Well... the comments persuade me to give it a try, but I'm not a fan of the death theme, if I read one of the comments above correctly...

Death and reincarnation have a place in the story. The List is game 1 of 5 in the saga, even if someone dies they will be back at some point in the game unless their soul is consumed.

December is here so it's time for a new monthly calendar.

You have generously been providing those here, so this is not even remotely a complaint. I appear to have missed October and November calendar renders, though. Did you post those on this thread as well?

Thanks for the information, I hope to have a pleasant surprise.

Thanks, I know a lot of people struggle to get past the first 2 chapters, but I have found that those that stick around really enjoyed the story I have put together.

 

[Uncle Loco]

Thanks for the information, I hope to have a pleasant surprise.

There are quite a few surprises in game one and a lot more to come in the overall story, between the 5 games planned for the saga.

New Teaser and Status

Spoiler: TPT Chapter 1 teaser

Georgia seems a little surprised. I wonder if it has anything to do with what I worked on this week. Well, good news bad news. I didn't make a lot of progress on the renders this week, because of the holiday and family over. However, I did get a jump start on Chapter 13 of The List. More on that in a moment.

Numbers time. This week I was able to complete 60 renders and 0 animations for TPT. I did however complete 5 animations for The List. I needed something to render while I had family over so I prepared several animations for The List Chapter 13 to render while I had to entertain family. Anyways back to TPT. So the current total counts for TPT are 575 renders and 4 animations. I have 1 scene left to render and then all the boring stuff can get started. Coding is going to be a pain this time with all the new changes so bear with me.

Due to the lost time last week, there will be no special content this week. My goal is to get the draft to the proofreader this week, so fingers crossed everything goes well. That is all for now.

 

[TinCann]

Enjoying the work. Took me a while to start it, but glad I did. Keep up the good work Loco.

Your real-life relationships and health are more important than any game development schedule, so I'm happy you focused on them. And it's not like you slack off or anything. Hope you had an awesome holiday, Unc.

Final teaser and status before the release of The Perfect Town a side story in The List Saga/

Spoiler: TPT Chapter 1 teaser

We are so close and unless something major happens the update will be released on December 11th. For those that have been around since day one, this is the 2nd anniversary of The List's first release. There are just a few remaining tasks to complete. The draft is with the proofreader and is expected to be completed sometime today. Then I can test the new tracker and add all the finishing touches.

Well with that exciting news out of the way let's talk some numbers, This week I completed the the last few renders completing 35 renders and 0 animations. This brings the render count to 611 renders and 4 animations. I coded 98% of the script this week and started a few things for chapter 13 of The List.

Outside of this there is not much going on. I will be working on The List again after I release Chapter 1 of The Perfect Town. I am in the early stages of planning a few holiday renders, I have a fun idea just not sure if I can pull it off yet.

Super excited for both the start of The Perfect Town and the next chapter of this game. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

The Perfect Town update is out and posted here if anyone is interested. It does cover some events from chapter 12 of The List.
