DevLog Day 20


So today was a very long one. I completely finished the animations, and scripting of chapter 6. I still need to do quality control on it. Double checking for spelling mistakes and stuff like that. It was also brought to my attention last night that some players on Android were having issues with animations having huge fps drops. After making a couple different versions of the game, having players download them and still be wrong. I finally realized what was different between chapters 1,2, and 3. Essentially during chapter 1 and 2 I would export the videos directly as Webm files. The issue I was having was that every other animation would cause Character Studio to crash. So I had to either A. Save before every animation, which I often forgot to do. Or B. Remake the entire animation moving models around and in some cases rebuilding entire scenes. I found out during the time around the end of chapter 2 and the beginning of chapter 3, by checking through a bunch of forums and user complaints. That the issue was related to animation length, and the webm format. One user recommended exporting as MP4 then later converting them to webm. So I found an online converter and used that for chapter 3. By the time I started working on chapter 4 I had downloaded Handbrake to convert the animations. So I went back and used Handbrake on every animation in chapter 3. I also added a couple of new lines of dialogue at the end of the chapter, that are not in the windows or mac verisons. Which is why chapter 3.5 is a thing. Windows and Mac users should not need to download 3.5. If anyone is experiencing slow downs though let me know so I can figure out the cause and fix it for you. The lines of dialogue that I added in a nutshell are. The ending scene in chapter 3 is a daydream and not canon. Just like the opening of chapter 3 was a dream. Though the opening was more obviously a dream. Well that is everything for tonight. If no one has any issues I will be taking a couple days off of DevLogs again since I finished chapter 6 which is not supposed to be released even to the 10$ tier patreon supporters until the 28th. So I don't need to have chapter 7 done until the 11th. Which gives me plenty of time to get things done that I need to get done IRL. Though I will still be working on the script and ideas of chapter 7. I am really happy with chapter 6 as it is officially the largest chapter I have made so far. A title previously held by Chapter 3. I finished Chapter 6 with nearly 500 renders and 100 animations. And 1300 Lines of Dialogue.
