Corporate Dev Memo (Wk8 - 3/16/2026)
Hey everyone!
Sorry if this one is a bit shorter, it's almost 2am here and was scrambling all day and night today to finish a bunch of stuff!
I have hit over 1,000 renders so I will spending a lot of this week play testing the game and kind of going into "big picture/visionary" mode to see if I want to tweak my story outline for this update. So please expect a smaller render count next week as I am going to be doing non-render work quite a bit more and doing editing, playtesting, that kind of thing. This is a good thing for me to get that 38,000 foot view outside of the details to see the big picture before shifting again into scene by scene.
As of WEEK 8:
Weekly total: 124 renders
Overall progress: 1060 renders, 60 raw animations, 44 expected in so far. (maybe a few more)
I have a mix of dom/sub renders in here, the sub scene is done and the dom one above is also done now. So I will have new scenes to work on and I do expect to work a bit on another dom scene even with what I said above.
One of the preview shots above is maddening and driving me crazy (maybe people can guess which one it is) but I have to keep trying to tweak it to what I want and posted it anyway as a preview. (it is very difficult)
I'm also always being transparent about my work with The Quantum Academy and just helped write the intro for it and helped consult her about menu set ups for choices and other little things of that nature. I am not too concerned it will absorb my time because I'm not doing any art for it, etc.
Next week I hope to have a really good big picture view again with a bunch of tweaks/edits, and fixes to these current 1060 renders. I don't think I have ever done over 1,000 renders in eight weeks before except maybe during a last sprint at the end? (maybe someone knows, heh)
Ok, it's so late for me so I don't want to write too much more and risk tons of mistakes and such.
Please have a wonderful week and thank you for your support, patience, and positive energy towards the game!
Love,
Tess
