Happy Friday!

As of June 12th, Act 2 is sitting at 211 renders, 7 animations, and ~4865 words. 

While the render count these past two weeks is slightly lowered than I'd like, that is in part due to the fact that I was working on the script and scene assets.

Regarding the script, the third scene is decently long at about ~2500 words. I'll probably need to massage the final dialogue before release but the overall flow is very satisfying to me. I wish I could speak more to the scene's plot, but what I can say is that the scene will make Naomi regret some past behaviors that come back to bite her in the butt.

Moving to the scene setup, there was one asset that I absolutely had to have that wasn't already available in HS2, so I ended up having to make it myself. So voila, the sneak peek render for this update:

It's a chair... with a hole! You'd be surprised how much effort it took just to make a stupid hole in this chair. First, I had to find an existing asset to use as a base, export the mesh using one software, then modify the mesh using different software, then re-import the asset with yet another third software. Even then, you can see my asset isn't perfect with the texturing being slightly darker compared to the original, but it's close enough for a first attempt at HS2 modding. Now that I've figured out the process though, it truly opens up a lot of possibilities for future content and that made it worth it. As to why I need a hole in a chair... well I think you know what dastardly plan I have for Naomi.

The second week was full render mode. I'm about 40% of the way through the third scene's renders. By next update, I probably will have finished the renders for the third scene and I'm hoping to have the dialogue complete for the fourth scene.

With that, I'll sign off for now, talk to you all in two weeks!
