Dev Log Ep3 Week 5: You Guys Are Taking a Break
Bat here. I have been in the Bat Cave all week grinding away. I am fully prepared to ignore my family for most of Christmas to keep productivity high. I will, of course, be expected to take part in some Christmas Day activities. Unfortunately, I am also working my day job over the Christmas period, so I will not be able to put in as much extra time on the game as I had hoped.
That aside, let’s talk about where I am at this week. I managed to get 90 renders done, which feels pretty solid. I also added another animation to the game, bringing the total animations up to three so far (For the episode). I will continue doing more Blender animations as I move through this episode. Below is a rough version of the animation I worked on this week. The final version is currently rendering and should clean up the noise, remove the reverse lighting, smooth out some of the camera movement, and extend the fade-out at the end.
I also switched to Cubase for music production. I have always used Logic for this workflow, but it does not play nicely when I am in voice chat with other dev friends. That made music production feel a bit isolating and honestly not much fun. I am hoping this switch makes the process smoother and more enjoyable.
That is really all I have for you this week. I hope you all have a great break and enjoy the holidays if you celebrate them. Thank you, as always, for the support and the kind words that keep me going.
One last thing, I will be putting some effort into growing the Twitter following for the game. If you use Twitter, please head over to

and give the page a follow.
Take care, and until next time, stay awesome.
Cheers,
Bat

Same. Go enjoy the holidays and stop working for a while. Lol. Regardless of what you do, Bat, Merry Christmas and enjoy the upcoming New Year. 🎅🤶🧑🎄🧑🎄🤶🎅 We know Moonlight will continue to shine like the moon it is.
Bat it's always enjoyable to watch you work and do some amazing stuff
Animation is looking good! Might want to dampen the chrome a bit - older car & wet pavement splash tends to dull it.
*Reads the title* "Damn right, you Devs are!" GOOD TUESDAY MORNING, BATMAN AND EVERYONE 🌥!!!! Lol 🤣… making contingency plans for the other Devs I see 🦇. Bat: I love you and your dedication… And I say this with the utmost respect. "No, no, no, no! Get your butt off the chair/away from the rig and go spend time and focus on your family and day job during the back-to-back Holidays 😂." We loved a family man 😅. Awesome! Any progression is solid 👍🏻! GL with the music change! I used Twitter… or I lurked on Twitter. That app is just full of a bunch of bots. I don't even know who's real anymore 😂. So, I stop giving 0 F's. I know I already said this… But F-IT! "Make sure to finish your Christmas Shopping, people... or I'll show up and give you coals 🎅🤭. Wrapping my gifts now (as I'm typing this message; don't be like me—13 to get through 😅). Enjoy the back-to-back Holidays WITH YOUR LOVED ONES (dramatic pause to look at Bat), Batman and everyone 🥳!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎁🎄❄️☃️🎅/🎇🎆🧨🎉!!!"
