Status update Episode 12

Happy December!
I've continued working on the biggest free roam event in episode 12. This week was a bit different than last week. I reached another phase of the free roam event, which meant a different kind of work with art and code.
I started the week by posing a roughly 100 render long scene with many characters and intricate posing. I knew this scene would slow me down a bit because of its complexity, but I wanted to get it done, and so I did.
After that, I posed more scenes for the free roam event, but I also focused on writing code and creating environment renders for navigating the free roam.
When writing code, I went through all the remaining scenes and put calls to them to make sure they trigger when I play. I also made sure they were included in the phone app task list and added at the right time during the free roam. The heavy branching made this a bit tricky at times, but I believe I'm 95% done with the calls to scenes now. I've coded how you end the free roam event and continue with the story.
When creating environment renders, as the free roam event evolves, I had to update existing environments. To help you picture this, think about the Halloween free roam event and how it had different stages and how people moved around.
I've completed all the necessary environment renders for navigating the entire free roam event, and the remaining work is to finish the art and writing for 43 scenes. I'm roughly 50% done with the art for what's written of the free roam event, but I still have some scenes left to write.
Overall, with code and art, I'd estimate I'm 45-50% done with the free roam event.
Another milestone for episode 12 was reached this week - 4000 static renders posed (4090 to be exact)!
Roughly 400 static renders and 27 animations are in the render queue. The 92-second-long cutscene animation is 51% rendered, and it currently has all but two of my systems working on it. I estimate that it will be done within the next two weeks.
Next week, there will be some interesting news that you don't want to miss.
Have a nice weekend
