Chapter 4 - Progress update #3
All animations have now been rendered, edited and transferred to video format for testing. As always, there is room for improvement, but I am satisfied overall and will take these learnings with me to the next chapter. The only thing missing now are the sound effects. Once those are added, I will have finished everything related to animations for this year/until the next chapter.
Regarding the music, I have selected various tracks for each label and scene changes within them. Most of the work is done here as well. What remains is normalizing (sound level), reformatting and integrating them into the code, which I will do when editing each finished label from now on.
The static renders are still going as usual, and there are now just over 600 of them. Except for the huge labels 2–3 (Lisa's labels, for those who are interested), I'm not expecting anything unusual. I just have to go through them one by one. Currently, I'm focusing on the smaller labels, then moving on to the ones that will take over a week to complete.
That's it for this time. Until next week.

Found your game in the last week and I'm glad that I did! The sob story setup and how the story has been building up has really impressed me. There were a lot of touching moments and I'm sure many more to come. Maybe our MC can get a little bit of mercy? Maybe?
That cover image is incredible! I can’t wait to see what happens when Sarah and Madelyn cross paths. I really hope Sarah discovers soon that the MC is Maddy’s father—when that moment comes, I’ll definitely need a box of tissues.
Can’t wait for Lisa previews when you start working on her labels 🥰
Now that's a beautiful cover image! BTW I know a lot of AVN devs find it really difficult to license good soundtracks, because of the genre. At least one I know of had an initial deal that was later revoked, forcing a complete rework of the audio. How has that been for you?
One of the reasons why I don't use vocalized songs, you can't find any that are cheap and are usable in Avn's. I only started using paid music with chapter 3 so I'll keep you updated once I get sued.
Sarah’s looking super playful in those previews, kinda goofy too, in a good way.
Just wait until she pulls out her medical equipment and does a little examination on her.
