Progress 25.02.2022

 

And this will be the last progress post about this update, even if I would have to stay awake the next 48 hours. I have about 10 renders to finish and some coding tasks related to those renders. Proofreading is done, 99% of the things related to it is done just those final renders that takes time. Daz being slow doesn't help much, or needing to dforce stuff.

So what is exactly the hold up with the renders? Well those of you who are on discord have seen the renders, they involve posing multiple characters, so posing them and making sure things aren't clipping takes time. And I still botched up one render, but would have had to fix it anyway. So, at the moment each one of those renders takes about an hour to setup.

I admit, it probably doesn't help much that I'm running two instances of Daz at the same time and taking turns on rendering stuff.

TRS2's writing is unfortunately been slow, just too much to do to get the the epilogue out. But regardless of that I do have four completed day, and it just means less slacking when it comes to writing. Granted, I started Sorcerer with 4 days buffer as well and at best I had 7 days buffer so when the mood hits... and I've never been worried about the writing as is.

Then just some fun with numbers. 

• There are 57 768 lines of code in Sorcerer at the end of epilogue (give or take 100 with some stuff I didn't count). 
• There are 13 901 renders (+/- 50, and not counting auxiliary images I've used) in the VN at the end of epilogue. 
• There are 189 characters with at least one line of dialogue, although there are more characters appearing than that. (It's bit give or take a few as always)

And then we come back to those renders. They are what I call, "Views of the Future", some of them are 9ish months after the last update (or 3 months after the epilogue) some are 5 years, and some are 10 years.

So yeah... It's worth doing them.
