Law School Episode 5 - DevLog #23
Hello everyone,
Last week sure has been busy, but great.
First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who voted for Law School in the GameStoryLog Awards. We won two awards: Favourite Game of 2025 (Jury Vote) and Most Awesome Cutie Patootie Dev (me).
It means a lot to me, guys. Thanks for your support and your votes!
Aurora also got a whopping second place as Favourite Love Interest, which is why she made this week’s devlog cover. Clearly not because I don’t have a render of Elsa to show *cough-cough*.
Anyway, to start things off, I received part of the RAM I ordered. I’m still missing two sticks for the main computer, which are currently stuck at customs. The reason I’m mentioning this is because the main reason I bought it was that one of my rendering rigs kept crashing. I replaced the RAM hoping it would fix the issue, but it didn’t.
A friend of mine has the same issue: black screens followed by the computer freezing and needing a manual restart. It happened once or twice a day over the last two weeks, then it happened six times yesterday.
I looked it up online, and after a few Hail Mary attempts to fix it, it came down to three possibilities:
Both our GPUs are defective. Very unlikely.
Windows Update messed something up and needs a fresh install. Most likely.
The motherboard is dead. Likely, but not as likely as Windows.
I’m going to replace the 5090 today with a 4090 to see if I can run it without issues. If it still crashes, that means the GPU is fine, thank God. This is a bit bothersome because my queues are very, very full, but I can’t really help hardware malfunctions and troubleshooting. It always takes time, and with three PCs, it’s bound to happen eventually.
This has been the major setback of the week. I also had to deal with some IRL stuff, but other than that, I was locked in.
I’m now working on the final scene of this event. It splits into two different endings, one of which I’ve completed, and I’m now moving to the LEWD part of this scene. I hope to be done by the end of this week. I cannot wait to move on to the first scene of Day 3.
This week has been quite tough for me. Depending on the player’s choices, drama unfolds. Girls get hurt, MC gets hurt, or the girls are happier and relationships progress. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions for me, and I didn’t expect it to hit me like that.
But I guess that makes for a good story!
Now let’s talk numbers:
Static renders: 3,687
Animations: 134
Story content: 49 scenes written (47,929 words)
That’s an extra 212 renders since last week. It’s been quite some time since I hit that 200 milestone, and I love it. I was locked in, and I hope this week yields the same result in terms of animations.
Because I have an idea in mind for the size of the last day, based on the scenes and events, I can now see a date in mind for finishing the 3D part of this episode. It’s still too early to talk about a potential release date, but I’m going to do my best to let you know as soon as we get closer.
But anyway, I think that’s it for this week. I’m excited to work on this LEWD and finally put it behind me. I need to move the story forward, and that’s exactly what this third day is for.
I’ll get back to work now, and in the meantime, I wish you all a great week.

I want more aurora story in the game
Everyone loves Aurora.
AURORA i liker
Congrats on the rewards very well deserved! Hope the hardware issues can be figured out relatively easy no bigger time thieves and nothing worse than hardware issues especially in current day, when a modern GPU is as much as a full rig 4-5 years ago. AND Daz 6 has been in forever beta, being the only version that can render on 50 series cards 😭.
🥳🎉🎉🥳🎉🎉
Crazy numbers, bro. I'll unplug my Nightmare Before Christmas nightlight. from your pc. That might help.
Congratulations Maya, you fully deserved! And my girl, yeah I knew she would made it!❤️
Nice
I have the same damn issue on my GPU after swapping into to 50X0 series. Old GPU never did the black screen and freezing. Manual reboot required. I honestly thought for a while it was my power supply not being able to keep up because I totally neglected to check if it could when I upgraded. But it’s good for days at a time then randomly shuts off. So weird. Anyways, totally stoked about this episode!!!!!!!! I can’t wait! Anything further we can do to support? I already purchased all your other stuff 🤣
Yeah, I'd be surprised it's the GPUs if I'm honest, but only time will tell Thanks for the support, it's great :)
I can't wait to see shit hit the fan on the man whore route lol. Already have Aurora, Taylor and Miri in parallel but should probably add a couple more for good measure. Samara might genuinely kill MC if he breaks Taylor's heart
Thanks for the DevLog👍 and congratulations on winning the award, you deserved it😉🎉
Congratulations on the Award Doing awesome job
Congrats to the awards! :D Have a great week
Best dev my ass... 🥖 They robbed you out of best sport one tho - you had that one basketball scene, clearly a sport themed AVN - you should've won this one.
Congratulations on your success you deserve it.
GOOD SUPER MONDAY MORNING 🌛🌃, MF-MAYA AND EVERYONE!!! (4 am) 6 more DevLogs before #30 😅! Great to hear! Congratulations on your wins, MF-MAYA 🥳🎉! Well deserved 🙌🏻!!! All thanks to your hard work and dedication 😋! Here's to many more future accolades 🥂! And to all our participating Devs/Winners 😁👍🏻! This was fun for everyone involved 🤗! That's why the AVN communities are one of the best 😉. More Aurora is always great! She is one of my favorites (based on what I played; I LOVE A TSUNDERE 🥰). I believe you said that if you won "Best AVN," you would buy Bat an "Render Rig" to celebrate 🎉. And "Favorite Game" is kinda like it, right 😅? Nice on "part of" the RAM. GL with both yours and your friend's Rig situation. Damn... three PCs... I can't even get one LTop 😂. A setback, but knowing you. You thrive on chaos 😈. Awesome on the scene/two endings 👍🏻! "AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO PLAY 😛!!! I WANT TO GO THROUGH ALL THE FEELS! HIT ME WHERE IT HURTS 🥲!" Amazing numbers as always 😋! Any number is great 😅 as long as the journey continues 🌈😁. Just keep working on it. Keep us posted, bossman 🫡. Still hoping for July... a year after my old LTop broke when playing LS (which I still haven't replaced yet 🤣). It'll be LEGENDARY! Back from the ashes 😉🔥. Time can finally resume for me and LS 😂. As always, thanks for the DevLog, MF-Maya!!! 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 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 CONNECTS US ALL 🤗!!! Have an amazing and beautiful week! I'll catch you all—ON THE NEXT ONE ✌🏻😁!!!
Grats on the awards! Aurora is awesome! I hope things work out for her in the story. :D
The manwhore route is finally finished, huh? 😂 Anyway, thanks for the update, Mr. Maya! 🙏🔥 Can't wait to see all the drama.
My GOAT! congrats on the awards bro! Also, sorry to hear about the GPU problem... If you need a new one, I have a few 5090s laying around on my desk, just hit me up!
Please tell me another devlog will be last it's already killing me
Thanks for the DevLog.👍❤️😊 Congratulations on winning these awards! Have a great week too.😊
The "Most Awesome Cutie Patootie Dev" award seems perfectly deserved. It's kind of like asking, "Who's the King of Pop?" and everyone immediately answering, "Michael Jackson." Some questions just have an obvious answer. 😄 And Aurora..... nice..
Can't miss this one! congratulations on winning the Story Game Award you deserve it MisterMaya!
Oh boy, this episode is gonna be a gut punch!!
