Law School Episode 5 - DevLog #24
Hello everyone,
This devlog is being published a day early because of some news I'll mention a little lower.
Last week was great. I managed to finish the LEWD scene Saturday night, and I was very quick and efficient with it, so I'm really happy with the result.
Completing this LEWD scene also means that, after three whole months, I'm finally done with this Halloween event.
With close to 2,100 renders and 74 animations, it was an absolute behemoth of an event. I'm most likely going to find things to redo here and there, and maybe add a bit of content once I play through it during postwork, but that's a problem for future me.
In the meantime, I can finally get started on the final DAY of this update.
Well, not exactly right away.
I've kept this on the low, but over the last few months, I've been trying to get my own place. I currently live in a shared household, I work from my bedroom, and my computers can't run 24/7 since I do, unfortunately, need to sleep. On top of that, summers are hell when you have computers rendering and generating an insane amount of heat.
I've been going left and right trying to get my own place for months, but unfortunately, it won't happen in Ireland. So I've decided to relocate to France, and that's what I'm doing this next week.
I've secured the place and the means to move my stuff by myself, mostly to make sure my computers are safe, but also to make sure I can get back to work as quickly as possible.
In my opinion, next Tuesday, June 16th, I should be operational again. It's a bummer to pause development for a week, but it's a necessary evil if it means having my computers running 24/7 and not constantly feeling the silent threat and weight of a bottleneck.
This hiatus might also be a good thing, honestly, because this Halloween event really fried me. I'm going to use the time spent on ferries, planes, and any idle moments to write the remainder of this episode. I'm hoping to get it done quickly enough, as I only have one LEWD scene left and one cutscene, which are the two bigger missions. The rest of the scenes are more standard and shouldn't take too long.
Anyway, let's talk numbers:
Static renders: 3,797
Animations: 157
Story content: 49 scenes written (48,574 words)
That's another 110 renders and, most of all, 23 animations done in only six days of work. I saved today for packing, so I'm very happy with this last week. I pushed myself a little harder than usual and realized I still have room for more.
I was pretty burnt out toward the end of this event, and the housing situation had been weighing on me for months, causing me numerous illnesses and injuries. I think the promise of finally having my own place next week really lifted my spirits, and I'm genuinely excited to move.
I still haven't figured out the issue with the rendering rig that's been acting up lately, but hopefully the French air will work wonders for it too.
Anyway, that's it for this week's update. I'm going to... well, not really get back to work, actually. I'm going to get back to packing.
In the meantime, I wish you all a great week.

yo are you coming to paris for your new home or it's somewhere else (i am asking cuz' i myself live in paris)
Hello, no much furhter down south :)
Is episode 5 in progress, and when will it be released? I just finished episode 4, and it’s a banger game. It ended so I kinda lost now.
When will you finish episode 5?
Elsa my love
Good luck with the move, Can be very stressful, France is a beautiful country, I live near Bristol so I might see you drive past lol.
if youre feeling burnt out all that moving wont truly be giving you nearly as much rest I'd personally say take the rest of the week off or until you feel rejuvenated and ready to kick ass lol. It certainly should help with all the stress of events that can happen man. And yea! This summer heat where im at with pc running is genuinely going to lobotomize me lmao either way stay safe and remember to take out that gpu with moving! Lol
Bonne chance pour bouger de pays ! Je sais, je suis français, en espérant que la France te redonneras un coup de pouce ! (Switching to english) Good luck with moving to another country! I know, I'm French, but I hope France will give you a helping hand!
good luck on your move MisterMaya
Man... I've moved a few times in my life and I hate it, but moving between two countries is in a whole different league. I hope you and your computers make it through this okay. Bonne chance !
Good luck with your move, hope it goes smoothly.
goodluck with moving, hopefully it wont be too much of a pain
Wow that's a big life event. Best of luck. Good call moving stuff yourself. I had a horrible move one time where we hired people and the truck that was supposed to arrive in 7-10 days took 5 weeks. 😡
Yes that's what scares me, besides damaging computers or screens
when is the game comming out full game ?
After you move to France, please don't surrender on the game...
sorry to ask but when is the full game out with all the epesodes, and how many will there be just. completed season 1 and had to search for season 2 but found nothing ?
Hey Jonas, I'm doing my best to put the episodes out there as quickly as possible, I do'nt have an answer for you!
Thanks as always for the update! Hope your move is a smooth transition, glad you were able to find a place, well deserved after the enormous Halloween event ( in summer lol ). Hopefully while you live in France no one will notice that Taylor is really Ladybug and she decide to take a more practical role in justice.
I LOVE ELSA SO MUCH
Me too
Thanks for the DevLog.👍❤️😊 Good luck with the move.
Happy for you bro
Congrats on finishing such a massive event! Hope the move to France goes smoothly and gives you the space and stability you need. Looking forward to seeing the final day of the update.
Hope the move goes smoothly!
Great news, awesome work. Good luck with your moving to France!!!
Thanks for the DevLog and good luck with the move!
Say "Hi" to Taylor from me if you see her! Stay safe!
Good luck with the move and pls remember what i said remove the GPU's from the PC's and store them separately And if you don't listen i will add another 4 hours to your workload
Best of luck relocating to France. Tell Taylor I said hi if you see her. 😜
