Law School Episode 4 - Final Progress Update
Alright lads, episode 4 is officially in beta.
I sent the first draft to Wibble about an hour ago and now I’m waiting a few days to see what explodes in testing. Could be 3 bugs, could be a thousand. Fun times.
This one was weird to make. I laughed at my own jokes a lot, which is embarrassing but also a good sign the humour landed. There are 63 choices in this episode, not even counting DM dialogue options, so interaction is chunky.
Renders look good, animations get smoother as you go, and the phone got a few small improvements. Nothing crazy, but better is better.
My only real concern is length. For an update with around 3.1k renders and 40k+ words, it can feel short because of the new path system. But I still stand by it. It is the only way to keep LI interactions meaningful and avoid creating 10 different versions of every scene and losing my mind.
This episode also pays the transition tax. A lot of setup, not a huge story jump, but it puts in place things I have planned since early Law School. I am genuinely excited for the next one.
Big picture: today was a huge milestone and that alone is worth celebrating.
Next time you hear from me will be a quick post with the release plan, then the actual release. I have no idea when I will start episode 5. I need to stop working like a lunatic and fix a few parts of my life before diving back in.
Thanks for the support, stay tuned for what is next.
Take care and talk to you soon,
MisterMaya
Post scriptum: Just kidding, I'll never stop working like a lunatic !

I was having a tough day until i decided to pop into patreon to see your progress, this MADE MY DAY oh yeah 🤣 law school has been one of my faves so far since the elevator scene
Thank you so much for the progress updates, I am really hyped for it and I know that it was totally worth the wait ! Thanks for the work !
Looking forward to it MrM! Have a good week bud 👍 😀
Wow...Aurora! The best badass ever! I love her!If you can laugh at your own jokes, that's an excellent sign of your mental health! Perhaps you should take a few days off after the update to recharge and come up with new ideas for the next episodes. Believe me, you've impressed us all with your pace of development without sacrificing quality. I wish there were more developers like you! Have fun, Maya!
OOOOOOOO…. GOOD SUNDAY NIGHT, MULTIMAYA AND EVERYONE 🌛!!! Aurora 😍🥰!!! Our tsundere ❤️!!! Amazing news 🙌🏻!!!! C'mon Wibble… cleared it… (Oh, what am I talking about? I still need to catch up on all my playthroughs 🤣). Why did my laptop have to die while playing LS? Hopefully, that music license company contacted you back, MusicMaya 🎶🎧! What a chunky/thicc EP 😋!!! Oh, length won't be an issue for me… because I still have to finish my original playthrough. I am still early at the beginning; I haven't even done the team case yet (the one with the traffic/driver/car 🤣), then I'll have to replay S1 again for the separate paths, then again for each individual girl, then play the new EP, then replay everything again for all the paths…. Lots of replaying 😅! Congratulations on the Milestone 🥳🎉🙌🏻!!!! As always, thanks for the Update, ManiacMaya 🤪!!! Keep on keeping on, 😉!!! ALWAYS EXCITED AND EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOUR GAME AND READING YOUR POSTS 🙌🏻🔥!!! Love and appreciate everything! You ❤️, your ladies 😍, your posts 🥰, and your games ❤️! Always make my days better 🌈! Thank you, everyone, always, for being in my life and being a part of my weekly routine 😉! Stay safe, stay blessed, and stay in PERFECT health, beautiful people! And don't forget to stay hydrated! And you're never alone ❤️🫶🏻!!! OUR AVNS AND OUR DEVS CONNECT US ALL 🤗!!! Have an amazing and beautiful week! I'll catch you all—ON THE NEXT ONE✌🏻😁!!!!
I love the MAYACHAD :] Also, 63 choices, damn.. sounds like a lot of nooks and crannies to explore! Looking forward to it.
