Dev Log Ep4 Week 9: If You're Not Screaming Into The Void, Are You Even Developing an AVN?
What up, fellow ENCOM employees. This is a work retreat. HR have allowed a two-drink maximum at the bar since last year's peanut butter incident. You can thank Steve in accounting for this restriction. If he could act like an adult, we would be able to have fun.
While you all get relaxed and settled down, I want you to be aware of next week's charity fundraiser. We are raising money for Alice in marketing to undergo life-changing surgery that will finally allow her to overcome her debilitating fear of movies made in 1982. We wish her luck. The current total is $3.85, so we are gonna have to cut a few corners when it comes to medical care if we don't get that total up.
First order of business.
The bean counters in finance have this week's report, and it turns out we managed to get 96 renders done this week. I don't know why you're cheering, that's down on the previous week's performance. If you don't get those numbers back in line this week, the Christmas strip poker tournament is cancelled.
The boys in R&D have been working on parallax room mapping this week. This means you can save on geometry and still appear to have depth in rooms on buildings. Not sure who asked them to look at this, but apparently at least one person on the board gave a shit about it, so an unreasonable amount of resources were put towards it.
The art department have contributed some new stickers to the Discord server. What's a fucking Discord server? Anyway, I'm told to deeply thank Default for working hard on artwork that helps fans of the game engage on the server. Good job, Default. At least someone in this organisation is getting some work done.
He's freelance?
Then what do we pay that other guy for?
We're not paying either of them?
...What's next?
The maintenance team have been building multiple sets again. Good work getting some of those knocked out, guys. Hopefully the motion team can come in this week and get that cut scene put together in a speedy fashion.
The QA team have been testing the first few scenes in this next release. They are reporting no problems thus far, although one of them hasn't been seen since last Tuesday. I am told this is unrelated.
Steve, get the fuck away from that peanut butter before I FaceTime your wife.
Well, I think that covers everything on the briefing notes. Remember, have fun responsibly, team. We can't afford another lawsuit. The Chicago City Zoo are still trying to charge us for the two chimpanzees Jerry ate last month.
Peace
Bat

One of the interns made a suggestion, that we can just edit all the movie years to say 1983 to cut costs. I gave her a gold star and a head pat!!
Give that intern the keys to my car. It’s Rusty Vauxhall Nova it’s got 4 odd wheels and sounds like a Gatling gun but she’s still going strong.
Wow...just wow. Best Dev Update yet, Bat. Especially that render featuring all those different MCs from your fellow mates/devs.
Hey boss, we passed a hat round the team on the second floor and raised another $1.15 for Alice. We also raised a stick of gum, a rubber band, two paper clips and some pocket lint. Plus, I’ll personally donate my grandparents copy of E.T. on Betamax for Alice’s exposure therapy. Maybe she could, you know, be on my table again for the strip poker tournament this year? No sir, it’s purely coincidence that she looks like Charlie. No sir, I’m sure she’s learnt how to play since last year. I… er… just want to support her in her recovery… Umm… boss? Is that Steve’s wife on your screen? Again? You know what HR said. I don’t think they believed you when you said you were doing research because she looked so much like Akari. Why are you smearing peanut butter on… What’s that? Alice *is* on my table again? And the tournament is guaranteed for the second floor? Thank you sir! No sir, if HR ask then I definitely didn’t see you FaceTiming anyone…
GOOD TUESDAY AFTERNOON 🌥, BAT AND EVERYONE!!! Lol, legendary render. I like how some of the characters are just our MCs 🤣. About that, answer me this: If our Devs scream, but we don't hear them. Does it still count 😅? You, Encom employees, would be fine. I don't drink. Thank you, Steve, for taking one for the team 😂👍🏻. No 😱... we must raise the funds. I want to donate to the cause 🙋♂️. She needs to see Blade Runner and The Thing and so many hits from that year 😁. Hey... I'm cheering for any progress because I'm a easily impressionable guy 😅. Thank god for THAT one guy in R&D 🤣. I love these cute stickers. Thanks, Default 🤜🏻🤛🏻! I mean, if I were good at anything and on your team or with any Devs, I would work for free because working on the game would be my reward. As long as I'm part of the team ✌🏻😉. Great work, Team 😁👍🏻! Steve, you're fine. Bat would have fired you, but he won't because you're valuable to him and his team 🤗. Bat... stop being such a Tsundere 😅. And FaceTiming a team's wife is just wrong 🤣. Oh, Jerry 🤦🏻♂️. Well, at least you're not in their jurisdiction 😅. As always, thanks for the Dev Log, Batman! 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, Bat and the Bat Family, 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 ✌🏻😁!!!
