Wednesday Update: Chapter 2
Added 2020-06-24 14:38:39 +0000 UTC
Hey everybody. Here's a little preview image of a scene from Chapter 2, along with a status update. I've been working hard all week on creating the environments, characters, poses, lighting, then rendering and photoshopping everything. So most of what I've done this week has been on the visual side instead of writing and programming. I got a ton of the renders done though. Just a few left, then the animations, which I have posed already.
So here is where I am right now on my checklist for Chapter 2:
1. Write15 scenes - 100%
2. Write new locations - 75% (Didn't work on this any this week)
3. Render 124 images - 88%
4. Render 5 animations - 0% (These will be rendering at night for the next week or so)
5. Implement Knowledge Stats - 90%
6. Implement Grading System - 90%
7. Add Social Studies Minigame - 10%
8. Draw Town Map - 15%
So the only thing that got closer to being done was the images, but honestly that is what takes the longest. Setting up all the images and then rendering them takes a ton of time, while the programming I can usually knock out in a day or two.
Over the next week I'll hopefully be finishing up all the renders and working on getting all the programming done. I'll also try to devote some time to drawing the town map, which is something I tend to work on outside of the normal hours I devote to developing the game - whenever I get a chance to sit down and watch some TV, I'll draw on the iPad.
Thanks again for your support. Feel free to ask any questions.
