Dev Log Week 27: I Don’t Even Know What to Say
Right, another week has flown by, and I’m pretty sure I have zero memory of what actually happened. All I know is that I woke up today with more renders in the queue, a mountain of work still to do, an office full of empty Monster cans, and a tiger in my bed.
Long story short, I still have a few stills left to finish. Once that’s done, much like a wild night out, I’ll have to piece together the chaos and figure out how to explain it all to my wife.
This week I made solid progress, finishing all the scene creation needed for the final section of stills. I’m really happy with how the environment turned out and managed to keep good momentum on the renders. I completed 121 renders, bringing the total for this episode up to 2,176.
I’m thrilled to be on the final leg of the stills, and I can’t wait for everyone to see what I’ve been working on. That said, there’s still plenty left to do, and I don’t want to rush it. I’ve got music to compose for the episode, some coding cleanup, post-production polish on the renders, and one animation in particular that I want to get absolutely right.
Nuii Pointer, the dev behind Echoes of the Cataclysm, has already helped me out with this animation, and now it’s my job to go in, finish it up, and try not to wreck what this animation wizard and all-around amazing human being has built.
Thanks again for all the support. It really keeps me going. Hopefully by next week I’ll have the stills wrapped up and can move on to the next stage of production.
Cheers,
Bat

Too bad you did not wake up next to one of the LIs in your game. That would be pretty sweet, no??? 😁😁 Maybe even have a dream about that is great. Again, awesome meme with The Hangover.
Absolutely agree with all my brother said ! 🫡💯👊
Flow. That state of mind where time doesn't matter. Oh, those days. Met my boss in the parking lot at 6:30 a.m. telling him that I was going home for a shower. He didn't know yet that this was my 2nd all-nighter in the same week - where I would end up billing 40 hours of overtime over the seven days. I went home, had breakfast with my sons and my wife and got back to work. When I got back to the office, my boss stopped me in the hallway "This isn't sustainable." I nodded. No point in reminding him that it was his decisions regarding staffing left me in this lurch, the week before Christmas. Two years later, I retired.
Sounds like my boy had the time of his Dev life 🤣. Surprised you weren't eaten by "said" tiger. Your wife would understand… just say it was a boy's night out 😂. The environment looks nice 👍🏻! And the numbers are nice and a lot, but, "Ewwww, 121 and 2,176. What ugly numbers… 2,200 would have been perfect 👌🏻!" Final leg!!! I can't wait for it too 🥰😛!!! Music 🎶! Coding 👨💻! Post-production polish 🧹 and one particular animation 🎞 (I wonder what it'll be 😋)? Nuiiiii 🥳🙌🏻!!! As always, thanks for the Dev Log, Bat! Keep on keeping on 😉!!!

> an office full of empty Monster cans Average AVN dev moment XD As always, good job :D
Sounds wonderful - although i think Monster Energy Drinks are disgusting. I am more a Red Bull man, but with the Tiger we agree haha 👍😉. Anyway all things considerd this sounds good, keep on going…👍😂👊
Some great progress being made and I Don't think you are gonna have trouble with the animations.
Do casualties raise their hands? *raises hand*
