v.0.30 Progress report (IX)

Let’s start with the good news. The Gargantuan scene is finished and tested. It grew by around 600 words, 32 dialogue lines, and 20+ renders during the rendering process, because I thought an extra line here and there, or modifying the sentences already there conveyed the message better. It’s an estimated 16,323 words once I translate it (15,546 words in Spanish).

The next scene and the teaser for 0.31 are also written. The next scene is almost rendered (62 out of 123 images are done). The teaser has very few renders (8). So, I hope to finish rendering the 69 (yes, I stopped rendering to write this report when 69 images were missing. Chance or on purpose?) remaining images tomorrow.

Then I should translate the second half of the update (1,808 dialogue lines, 23,136 words in Spanish that will become around 24,200 in English) and send it to proofread. I will do it next week (I guess around Wednesday or Thursday). So, I can hope for a weekend release if the proofreaders do their magic at their usual pace!

TL;DR: The update will be around 36,000 words once translated and will have 2,009 still renders (if I don’t add anything else). The animation number remains the same as last week (24 animations with 3,429 frames).
