About This Title
Hello everyone!
These past few weeks have been almost entirely render work, so this report is going to be more technical than usual.
Let us start with the numbers: I am already at nearly 1,000 renders. This is turning out to be the largest batch I have ever done, in part because I needed considerably more than I had originally estimated.
There are many scene changes in this update, deliberately so, because I wanted to pick up the pace of the narration and keep it from feeling heavy. That translates into more renders than anticipated, but I believe it is worth it.
One of the things that gave me the most trouble was the new look for Sophia and Charlotte during their moments in the Shogukuni. Their style changes quite a lot there, and with Sophia in particular it was a real headache.
She is the more sophisticated of the two and does not feel comfortable at all in her new clothing, so I had to design it in such a way that this discomfort would come across without simply looking odd (excessive makeup included). There were several attempts before I arrived at something that worked.
I have also been experimenting with new lighting techniques for the backgrounds. It takes considerably more time than the way I used to do it, but the result convinces me far more, and I intend to keep applying it from here on.
In the end, I want to accumulate as much experience as possible with the next game in mind, so I would rather learn now, even if it costs me extra hours. I see it as an investment, haha.
And the most complicated part of all has not been visual, but rather in the script, because I have to fit Charlotte’s events together with Yui’s. This arc takes place just before the tournament and ends shortly after, so I have had to check a thousand times that everything aligns with the canon and that nothing contradicts itself. It has been a considerable headache.
The good news is that the tournament will be brought to a close in the next Yui update, and from that point on the two stories should begin to come together in a much more organic way.
Another important matter: we are carrying out the necessary tests to integrate the new languages into the game, Chinese and Russian. Depending on the community’s feedback, we will gradually add more.
Only the three final events and the animations for the spicy scenes remain, so I should soon have a release date.
That is all for today!
I thank you all for continuing to support me in bringing this project forward. You are the best and I love you very much!
See you soon with more news!
