Law School Episode 5 - DevLog #25
Hello everyone,
Sorry for the lack of devlog last week, but I figured there wasn't that much to talk about.
I'm finally settled into my new place. It took longer than I expected to get back to work, since I only really got back to it yesterday.
All my equipment survived the move, and so did my back, so I'm grateful for that. I'm still missing a few things here and there, but we're getting there. The grind can finally resume.
I didn't get the chance to do much 3D in one day, but I still did my best to get the machine going again. The heat here is crazier than it was in Ireland, mostly because my office is much smaller now and the temperatures are higher. I'm in the middle of changing my night schedule so I can work later, when things cool down outside and I can vent the room properly.
So, I think I'll need a few more days to settle into this new rhythm.
On the bright side, I've successfully written the remainder of the episode. All the scenes are ready for me to render now. There's one LEWD scene left, and I haven't written the LEWD part yet since I want to improvise it off the top of the dome, but the other 8 scenes are all written.
There are two big scenes, which include a lot of flashbacks, but aside from that, they're regular scenes. Bigger than usual, of course, since we're getting to the end of the episode and I'm tying things up, but still regular scenes.
Anyway, let's talk numbers:
Static renders: 3,832
Animations: 157
Story content: 58 scenes written (60,328 words)
Overall, this episode is almost 1.5 times the size of Episode 4 in terms of dialogue. It's also my biggest 'Law School' episode yet.
I've got 8 scenes, 1 cutscene, and 1 LEWD scene left before moving on to postwork. It took longer to get there than I thought, but my dumbass decided to add LEWDs, cutscenes, and other stuff I can't reveal yet, so of course it did.
Oh well, we ball.
The one good thing in all of this is that my render rigs are running 24/7 now, and that's pretty damn dope. Not being pressured by render times is going to help a lot.
I should finish the next two scenes during this week and then get started on the cutscene. I'm hoping I won't spend more than a week on the cutscene, and then I'll move on to the rest of the episode.
Anyway, that was it for this devlog.
Thank you all for your patience over the last two weeks. This move came at the wrong time development-wise, but it was necessary, and I did it as fast as I could.
Now, it's time to get back to work.
Take care and I'll see you all next week,
MisterMaya

Miri looks like a Goddess here 😭 I mean she always does, but that fit suits her so well. That update will be HUGE! Glad that things go well for you. :)
Happy fathers day MisterMaya, your kids will be proud of this devlog one day. Many thanks!
Thanks for the DevLog. 👍😊 Very much looking forward to play Ep. 5 when it´s ready👍 It is really crazy how high temperatures are in some parts of Europe right now.😅
Just to check, we are getting another devlog tomorrow yes? (Joking aside, happy you moved in nicely and hope it is only good times now)
Let's go mister maya is back 🥳
I was actually planning to sleep, but reading dev logs at midnight is fun too, especially when they’re about your game. Happy to hear the move is behind you. Now you can focus on your game again. I’m really excited about the update! ❤️🙋🏻♂️
Don’t push yourself too hard. When I was in the military I had to move from the US to Germany. Dealing with time changes and environments can play hell on your body.
I'm so happy that your move went smoothly and that you can now get back to giving it your all and continue your amazing work!
