Episode 11: Preview

Hey guys!

Ready for some spoilers? ;-p

Last week I fully wrapped up the remaining part of Megan's scene and also finished two Faith's scenes. The first one happens in real time: MC decides to pay her a visit and try his luck at restoring her memories. The second one is a flashback to the moment from Episode 10, during the Faith and Jake scene. So yes, we’re going to see that little piece of… *Ahem… in this update too.

Now for the plans for this week and possibly the next. I still have one more Faith scene left in her first sequence. It’s mostly a dialogue-focused scene with a couple of choices during gameplay. They won’t lead to major branching paths, but they will influence the ending of the game. It’s a relatively simple part to complete.

Next up are Violet’s scenes. She’s going to give MC his first task: visiting Nora, Charlie’s wife. You’ll find out why it’s important once the update arrives, but for me it’s a convenient way to bring Nora back into the story and start her route. This part will be optional and will depend on whether MC completes his first task successfully or not. Once that’s done, MC will meet Violet again for her first teasing scene. I’ve planned quite a few scenes for her this time, and as I said before, she’s going to be the superstar of this episode.

And finally, Nora. Her scene is relatively big, but it focuses more on the main story right now. There won’t be any gallery content for her at this point, but again, I’m just reintroducing her into the plot.

One more thing. I’ve noticed a wave of questions like “When is the update coming?” or my personal favorite, “updatewhen???!??!” so I guess it’s time to be a bit more transparent about the current progress. I started working on visuals for this update on September 10th, exactly one month ago. So far, I’ve created 360 renders and 15 animations. And even though those numbers are pretty good, it’s still only about 25% of the new episode. In other metrics that’s 24 out of 94 script pages. So there’s still a lot of work ahead. I’m not planning to make this a year-long-wait update, but I do need at least a few more months to wrap everything up properly. Thank you for your patience, and I hope the update will be worth the wait once you finally get to play it.

That’s it for now, guys. Stay tuned, I’ll talk to you soon!
