Hello!

Back again for a monthly dev log. Seems like I'm going to be keeping to a rough schedule of giving a progress update towards the end of each month, although some might come sooner or later depending on how much I have to say or if I'm waiting to reach a specific point in development.

ANYWAY, I am now over 700 renders into chapter 3. I'm still working on the larger scene that I referenced in the last dev log. As mentioned then, creating the visuals for this scene will take up most of the dev time, as it's by far the largest scene in the update; everything after that are more individual, isolated scenes. It's the same for all of these big group party scenes, really. Luckily, while there were two of these parties in ch2, there's only the one in ch3, so once I'm past this point the scenes will be smaller and theoretically quicker to work through.

It's always more fun for me to be able to give these updates when I've been working through smaller scenes, because I can talk more about what I've been doing rather than it just being more of the same. And also because I'm able to give a wider range of previews when I've worked through multiple scenes, which I always prefer because it gives more of a variety look into the chapter.

ANYWAY, that's all I've really got to say in this dev log. I'm hoping by the next one I'll have finished, or be close to finishing, this long scene. But, I've had similar hopes before and they've been far too optimistic, so we'll see how things go. As always, see the previews above for a look into what I've been working on.

Thanks!
