Hey everyone!

It’s time for a new development update, though this one’s a bit on the late side! Over the past two weeks, I managed to get some writing done and updated two of the remaining characters to work with the new shader.

At the start of writing Chapter 4, I had a rough outline of every planned scene. Sometimes I split scenes up afterward to keep the files from getting unnecessarily large, which makes it easier for me to find specific dialogue or events. Right now, I’ve planned 8 or 9 scenes, depending on how detailed I want to make the final one. Since I’m trying to keep it a bit shorter, I might wrap it up in 8.

The first 3 scenes, plus a big chunk of scene 6, are sitting at roughly 10k words so far. Scene 7 is a work in progress at 1.5k. I’m currently working on scene 4... Yeah, the order’s weird, I know. Don’t judge. Some content was already written during Chapter 3 development and is now being integrated into Ch4, which partly explains the shuffle.

Overall, I feel like I'm about 50% done with the planning and writing stage. I’ll probably tweak things a bit once I start rendering, as usual.

That’s all I’ve got for you today! Thanks so much for reading and for supporting me through this journey. :-)

Wishing you all a great week - stay awesome!
