Weekly development update
I did get done with all the writing and although I'm still not 100% happy with a few things I think its fine for now since I'll basically rewrite it all again while translating and I tend to be more happy with the scenes when they're in English anyway.
I haven't started with the rendering process quite yet though as there are still a few more things I want to do so that the first episode can release as close to its final version as it can be and since I don't think its a good idea to jam all these less-fun things right at the end of the development circle I decided to change my plans a bit so that I get at least some of it done before starting with the rendering. For now I'm working on finalizing the stats screen, namely the support character tab (for characters like Gao, Aden, Dillan etc) but I'll also have to do the character specific image gallery tab (for storing images taken by or send to the MC and maybe a few extra) and maybe a few other very minor features I've been considering (like unlock-able sprites for the girls and a little display telling you which in-game week day/time of the day it is). I also still have to do the rework of the scene gallery which I've been pushing back for quite a while now.
All in all this stuff shouldn't take too long if I work diligently on it and although this admittedly isn't always the case when it comes to these coding things I still think I should be able to start with the rendering sometime at the end of next week so that I will be able to have some teasers ready for at the end of the month.
