Progress Update - Episode 8

Added 2021-08-03 15:40:49 +0000 UTC

Made some good progress on the renders, but still just a dent to what is left to do. Had a few problems though when Daz crashed during the night. Always fun to see that only 1 or 2 renders were finished when you wake up...
Finished the first of the very spoilerish scenes and finished the first part of the second scene already. I hope I can finish the whole scene before the weekend.
I decided that I won't include a cheerleading competition. I'm just going to write a few sentences, to sum up, what happened. It's just way too much work to create all those new characters, pose them in different cheer poses,... It would at least take 2 weeks if not more just for a few scenes since I have to render each image 3-4 times to paste all the characters in it so it looks like a team instead of just 2 people. Not worth it in my opinion. It's maybe something for a future release like I did with episode 5.5 where I included new scenes within older content.
Also made a few "animations" in between. This time on 30 fps. I'm pretty happy with how they look when I coded them in. Only thing is that my pc isn't strong enough I think since it takes a few seconds to load them in-game. I don't know if it's faster when I convert them into a MPEG instead of all the images, but that again will take extra time, time I don't have...
And you can't really "photoshop" a video when you see a clipping mistake for example. We'll see.
