Law School Episode 3 - Progress update #3

Hello everyone,

Last week went pretty well overall, despite a few setbacks.

I’ve finished one of the two remaining scenes for DAY 1, and I’m currently working on the last one, which should be wrapped up by tomorrow.

Here’s the thing—one of those two scenes is a LEWD scene, and I might have gone a bit overboard with it. It includes 120 images and 16 animations. Yes, 16! (I hate myself) Unsurprisingly, it took longer than expected to complete, but I’m thrilled with the result—it looks fantastic!

The last scene will be much simpler to create, which is a relief. I’m also happy because, honestly, I usually dread working on LEWD scenes. This one wasn’t an exception, but now that it’s done, I can confidently say it turned out great, with some fun kinks included.

As for the setbacks I mentioned, they were mostly hardware-related. I ordered parts to assemble a third rig, knowing I’ll need the extra power to handle the many animations planned for this episode—and possibly to rework some scenes from Episode 1 (Don't throw those tomatoes yet, I'm making fast progress). Rendering has always been my bottleneck, so upgrading became a necessity.

Unfortunately, the GPU, CPU, and motherboard were lost during delivery (lucky day for someone else upgrading their rig, I guess). Since these are the most expensive components, dealing with Jeff to get a refund has been... let’s just say, less than smooth. While it’s not an immediate crisis because we’re still in early development, I need the new rig ASAP to maintain my production goals. Hopefully, this gets sorted out quickly!

Despite that hiccup, last week was productive. I’m not taking any time off for the holidays, so this week should be even better.

Here are the numbers so far:

• 411 static story images

• 21 animations

• 7 scenes fully written

The animation queue is shaping up nicely with the LEWD scene complete, and I couldn’t be happier about that. I also managed a decent number of renders, though I’m hoping to hit my standard 200-per-week target this time around.

That’s all for now! I’ll check in again next week. Until then, have a Merry Christmas with your loved ones—it truly is a gift.
