Dev Log Ep3 Week 10: Got to Keep Those Numbers Up!
January is nearly over, and I swear it has been a blur. I have been fully locked in, grinding away on this episode, surviving on sandwiches my good wife keeps bringing me and as much caffeine as the human body can reasonably tolerate. This episode keeps growing, but damn it, I am determined to get this thing out in a timely fashion, so I keep pushing.
Alright, enough whining. What did I actually do this week?
This week I focused hard on breaking the 1,000 render milestone for Episode 3, and I want to give a big thank you to my boy Rann for helping me push through that wall. I managed to hit it pretty early in the week. I also took my laptop to a housewarming party and sat in my best mate’s office writing script while people occasionally walked past and tried to work out who the quiet guy in the corner was. I had a great time, hung out with his dog, and got a solid chunk of writing done.
I also made more progress on the lip sync animation and have now hit the halfway point on that cinematic. My goal for this coming week is to push hard and try to finish it, as I still have other animations to work on and it feels like this one is starting to block overall progress. The challenge will be getting it finished while still keeping the render numbers climbing.
Episode 3 stats:
Renders: 1095
Animations: 7
Word count: 13,181
Quick plug for a friend. My good mate Classy Lemon recently dropped an update for his awesome game Projekt Passion. There is a slim chance you found me without already knowing about it, but on the off chance you have not played it yet, do yourself a favour and check it out. It is genuinely fantastic.
Alright, I am heading back into the cave to get back to work. I will surface again later this week with some special renders for you. Also, Zoe winning the poll honestly surprised me. Usually, Akari or Charlie take these, so it is great to see Zoe getting some love, especially with how much of her story is coming up in this episode.
Until next week, remember that I appreciate all of you.
Cheers,
Bat

WoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Great to see the progress, breaking the 1000 render goal. Lol, I thought Zoe should get a chance, despite Charlie being the number one LI in this and Akari's popularity. Nice. Cannot wait for the special renders. And, yes, definitely looking forward to Mr. Stay Classy Lemon's PP Season 3 once its done. Too many AVNs to play, so I might wait for the entire season to finish, or jump in once there are more updates.
> as much caffeine as the human body can reasonably tolerate I think you are way past that point XD > I want to give a big thank you to my boy Rann for helping me push through that wall 🫡 Good job as always, Bat :D
GOOD TUESDAY MORNING 🌄🌞, BAT AND EVERYONE My MLadies 😍🥰!!! "Just sandwiches & caffeine 😭?" That won't do 😓. Somebody properly get this man out and feed him 😭. Thank you, Rann, for helping and motivating Bat RUNNing through that wall 🤣. Who's the good boy 🐶… 😋. Sounds like what I would do at a party 😂. I'm not into partying despite my positive outlook. "Keep pushing!!! YOU GOT THIS, BAT ✊🏻!!!" I haven't played PP yet… despite knowing about the great Lemon 🍋. It's in my backlog 😅, which I have no access to until I get that LTop. I haven't played that many AVNs since my LTop broke 😂. I played some here and there, only because I'M DESPERATE 🥵! Plus, it does nothing for my original saves, so I'm going to have to replay anyway (no biggie, I love replaying 😅). AND ALSO THE SCREEN IS TOO TINY, AND SOME ANDROID PORTS AREN'T OPTIMIZED, SO THE GAME IS TOO LOW RES!!! AVNS AREN'T MEANT TO BE PLAYED ON ANDROIDS, PEOPLE 🔥!!! "AAAAAHHHHH 🤬!!!" Sorry… lost myself there for a second 😁. Can't wait for those special renders 😉. As always, thanks for the Dev Log, Bat! Keep on keeping on 😉!!! ALWAYS EXCITED AND EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOUR GAMES AND READING YOUR POSTS 🙌🏻🔥!!! Love and appreciate everything! You ❤️, your ladies 😍, your posts 🥰, your previews/renders 😘, and your game ❤️! Always make my days better 🌈! Thank you, everyone, always, for being in my life and being a part of my routine 😉! Stay safe, stay blessed, and stay in PERFECT health, beautiful people! And don't forget to stay hydrated! And you're never alone ❤️🫶🏻!!! OUR AVNS AND OUR DEVS CONNECTS US ALL 🤗!!! Have an amazing and beautiful week! I'll catch you all—ON THE NEXT ONE ✌🏻😁!!!
Make sure you take time for yourself, mate. People need to talk to you and you need them. Great progress.
