Progress 24.04.2023

Hello good people! It is Monday, and time for a quick glance I did over the weekend.

 

Rendering. I'm more or less on schedule. Technically, I'm a bit ahead at the moment, but that will balance out as the last scene will be annoying to pose once again. But on the positive... I was going to say I didn't need to build sets for this one, but I did. Ah well.

 

Writing, on the other hand, is in decent shape. The most annoying part at the moment is that towards the end, more and more events depend on your choices. And some of those choices can exclude you from seeing some content. And then I need to ensure there are enough "things that aren't related to choices" so the length is more or less the same for everyone. Well, that's on me. Anyway.

In a sense, this VN has been different from TRS1 because there have been more screen time for different characters. Chiel is there, but at the same time, she isn't there as much in comparison. Or at least it feels like that, so at times. You need to steal those moments... Frankly, I like this render. It reminds me of the bond they have.

And then there is this... I did say there were several ways to get a staff. This isn't what I had in mind when I started making this mini-story. But like all the stories, be they long or short, they will take life on their own. And one thing leads to another. So I suppose it is good that the MC grew up in an environment where he could make friends who understand nature and its denizens better than him. And yes, she is a halfling dryad, and no, at the moment, I can't say if she will appear in the story as is. I know when I get to write it. Also, it ended up being longer than I wanted. 6 left after this patch, unless I decided to add more.
