Law School Episode 3 - Progress update #14

Hey everyone!

Last week was pretty good overall, though it could've been better.

I was making solid progress on renders and scripting up until Thursday, but unfortunately, I hurt my back on Friday. I'm still dealing with pain, relying on medication, and trying my best to push through. Because of this, I'll keep this update brief since sitting isn't comfortable, and I'd prefer using that limited time to keep working on the game.

I'm nearly finished with DAY 5 in-game. I have about 70 renders left for the big scene I'm currently working on, followed by around 60-70 additional renders and 15 animations for the LEWD scene afterward. If my back were better, I'd confidently say everything would be wrapped up by the week's end, but now I'm not as sure. My goal remains to complete DAY 5 by the end of March, giving me ample time in April and May for the remaining days. It's unfortunate timing—I was fully geared up and deep into crunch mode when this happened. Honestly, I knew I'd face hurdles eventually, but I didn't anticipate they'd appear quite this quickly, haha!

On another note, my animator has been much slower than usual lately. I suspect life is keeping him busy, which is understandable. He previously delivered about 8 animations per week, so I'm hopeful he'll return to that pace soon. For now, I'm not overly concerned.

Now, let's check out some numbers:

📸 2,393 static story images
🎞 63 animations
📝 37 fully written scenes

I've created 209 renders since last week's update. Hitting the 200 mark feels almost routine during crunch mode, especially as the workload from the secret project eases up.

Speaking of that secret project, I might reveal more details next week if everything goes according to plan. A lot depends on how quickly my back heals.

Apart from that, progress is solid. I always knew DAY 4 and DAY 5 would be the most intensive parts of this episode—they currently account for 1,263 renders, more than half of my total production for this episode so far. Thankfully, I haven't felt too bogged down by these days and am excited to move onto what's next.

That's all for this update. Time to get back to work. Have a fantastic week, everyone!
