Illustrated Dev Diary, October 22nd, 2021

I had a slight setback this week when I looked through a completed scene and found it to be very "Hollywood movie" inspired, and because of that equally unrealistic. So I contacted a doctor at my local hospital, explained my situation, and that I was writing a story and needed advice. He was very forthcoming and we met up a few days later for a talk where I got some good pointers of how things really work. Incidentally, during our talk it surfaced that this doctor had been studying my daughters case post mortem. Life has a way of throwing you surprises.
Anyway, our talk led to me re-rendering the before mentioned scene. Even so, numbers are decent for this week. We're now at 724 story renders (not counting the re-renders), and animations at 4,486 like last week. I still have a few scenes to do before I'll be diving head first into the animation heavy weeks, which pairs up nicely with me having to catch up on the Renpy stuff.
I hope you had a productive week as well. Have a nice weekend, and stay safe out there.

World is small. That's all I can say about the doctor.

I'm eagerly awaiting the next release. I know it can't be easy to write a story that requires you to relieve a very personnel tragedy. I also have first hand knowledge of suicide and attempted suicide and the effects it has on those that are left behind to try and understand what mental turmoil was going on with our loved ones. Years later the pain is still there but I relish in all the great memories. Thats why your story has deeply touched me so. Keep up the fantastic work.
