Chapter 5 - Devlog 10

Hello everyone!
Another three weeks, another (short) devlog!
...
...
Holy shit, we're at the 10th already?!!!
What's Been Done?
- ~108 renders(?) and 3 animations
- Rewrite DONE (30 events total)
GIVE ME THE DEETS PWEEEEASE!!!
- +170 layered assets (static images + animated ones)
- Ended up dividing two events into four, bringing the final event count from 28 to 30.
The focus this time was on finishing the rewrite, and while it took a bit more than a single weekend, I still managed to get a few renders done.
Pics

First pic is MC's harem going to school.
Every new conquest brings new dynamics into the mix!
The new developments might not be what you expected, but I hope you'll still enjoy them!

The scene itself reuses parts from similar scenes in the last two chapters...
Or at least, that was the plan, but I ended up moving the characters around...
The camera angle and background are the same, plus Sora's pose is the same as Maya's from the previous chapter.
Everything else should be new.

Second pic is another Maya pic...
Damn, I didn't keep count, but I feel like I post Maya pics each time.
I'm not playing favorites, I swear!

Doing the background for this scene was a headache, as I couldn't find what I wanted in Koikatsu itself...
The decor on the sides and the pink background were both generated using ChatGPT, the tree is from Koikatsu, and the pink smoke effect was done by yours truly.

I think I managed to make everything blend smoothly together.
What's next
Rendering, rendering, rendering!
ETA?!!!
I'm still aiming for October.
Everything should be in a playable state by then, although I worry a bit about the playtest phase.
It took quite a while for the last chapter, after all.

And That's All for Today!
A shorter devlog than last time because I came back late from work and I'm starting to fall asleep on my keyboard... Gotta write this devlog for tomorrow...
I hope Future Haptales won't mind me borrowing a bit of the night :)
(Edit: Screw you, my eyes hurt)
