Progress Report 23-14

This post will be focusing on two main things: Episode 2 progress, and beta testing.

Progress:

The '20 scenes in 20 days' wasn't a success for reasons I spoke about before (Stacy... ahem). I only got 13 scenes rendered, BUT I was able to revise Scenes 1-28. They are sitting at 600 images and 24k words and are ready for beta testing.

Scenes 29-31 have been made but not revised yet.

So what's left to do? After some changes that were made previously, I need to write up a few final scenes and some others need revisions written. I'm projecting the final episode will be somewhere around 900-1,000 images and 35-40k words (so... bigger than Ep1). The release goal is currently May 11.

Beta Testing:

I've asked about this in the past, but I am open to having 1-2 volunteers who are able to beta test. I'm only interested in anyone able to: offer dialogue corrections/improvements when needed, report images requiring fixing/improvement, report errors (rare), and provide other general feedback (story flow, if humor/drama hits the mark, accurate character personalities, etc.). You would also need to be a part of the Discord.

Before I get a dozen people saying "yes, I can do that!"... Please understand every time I have asked for testers it has turned into more of a hindrance than anything. People will agree to test, but don't do it or give me a "yup, seems good". This is not helpful and creates more work for me, thus slowing everything else down. Please be considerate if you don't have the time or may be uncomfortable voicing constructive fixes/criticism!

I can't offer much except some recognition & my deepest gratitude. Maybe there's a motivated individual or two out there with the time to help out. If you think this is you, please let me know down below. If not, that's okay, too! :)
