Dev Update #88 Progress (WooHoo!)

That looks like Mary in a truck, did she buy the truck? More importantly what do you think might have happened in that truck? Also what the hell did Lydia say about her wanting a truck? I'm sure that was an interesting conversation. I believe the word "lunacy" was used!

I know I said I was going to do this on the 23rd but I had time today. So here you go, two days early. Alright ya'll I'm rocking and rolling now! For One Day at a Time Ch. 22 Pt. 1 I'm at a little over 500 renders, no animations yet (I didn't wanna do that now because I'm really cruising with the story and still images, on top of basically gutting and redoing the majority of what I had because I wasn't feeling it, and now I am! If I'd have stopped to animate that takes a few days and I didn't wanna break my rhythm, so I'll come back to this part later and add that.), somewhere between 1500 and 2000 lines of code. I'm playing render catch up so I can't tell you for sure, but I think it's on the higher side of that area.

Some excellent progress with basically tearing it down and building it back up to the standard I hold myself and the game to in just three weeks, if I don't say so myself! I am so back into the swing of things now and it feels amazing to have the characters writing for me again! You'd probably have to be a writer to understand that, or maybe not I don't know.

Not only did I rework almost everything I'd done previously on this update. I also added several scenes I previously didn't have. One of them was a call with Sam, another was some stuff with Reggie and Tommy I had a light bulb moment on (it's so great to have a clear head now and be able to get those) that will show growth for MC. There was a scene with Paris and I changed around how I'm gonna do the lunch thing with Barb, MC, and Jose. I think it will hit harder the way I have it set up now.

As usual I can't tell you how long this one is going to be because I might come up with stuff I'm going to add, and I can't tell you how long the scenes I have outlined for the rest of the day will be. But you guys know me it'll end up being a sizeable update, as is my way. I think that's about it for now. A lot of stuff going on in the afternoon and evening. MC might lose his shit and make Melissa and Lydia actually set a damn date for the race. Because he's tired of playing man in the middle. We also get to meet Paul's girlfriend Vanessa and see what she's all about. Then the evening will be for MC and Lydia all by themselves at the apartment. Unless Lydia wants to go out. Which hey it's Lydia, who knows? Bottom line. A lot of stuff in the afternoon and whatever hits me to add if I want. Ok I think that's really it for now if you're still reading. I'll post another dev update in 3 weeks from now. Probably on a Wednesday!

I love you guys and it's amazing to have my mind fully focused on One day at a Time Ch. 22 Pt. 1! I was really scared for a while and now I'm not. For any of you who are struggling with things. Just hang in there. Life normally doesn't give you the worst possible outcome. That's something I learned with what I went through and in retrospect with a lot of other things. Alright I'm gonna shut up now and let you go on with your day. Really exited about what I've got so far for Ch. 22 Pt. 1.

As always, hope you are all doing well! Cheers!
