v0.4 Progress Update



I know what y'all are thinking, how's 0.4 going? When's it coming out? I don't wanna give any real ETA just yet, but let's say progress is going smoothly for a Summer release (June? July? AUGUST?).

The update is, with rough math, at about 16% completion. Since this is the first time I'm talking about it, I'll give a quick rundown on how this is calculated. If you don't care about how any of this works, you may skip to the last paragraph =)
I separated my tasks into 5 separate chunks with different completion weights (how much time it consumes in comparison to the others, in very rough estimates of course). We got Storyboard with a 15% value, Script and Coding weigh 35%, Renders another 25%, Animation 20% and Music/Sound is just 5%. Script and Coding could probably be two separate categories but since I usually write them hand in hand I just pile them together. With this in mind, how are each of those categories doing?
Storyboard: 80%
Script/Coding: 6%
Renders: 5%
Animations: 0%
Music/Sound: 0%

Which comes down to 16%. Technically, we could bump Storyboard up to 100% since it's "complete", the main bulk time spent on planning and writing out the scenarios is done, buuuut whenever I'm writing out scenes or making renders I sometimes come up with ideas of different scenes that would be cool to add that shake up the Storyboard a bit (for example, Val's scenes weren't planned in 0.3 originally), so I leave about 20% as leeway, just in case.
The script and render percentages are based off the total script lines and renders from 0.3, so the numbers could be off if I end up with way more or way less codes/renders. But it gives a general idea of where we are at.
Finally, animations and music will probably be at 0% all the way until script and renders are at about 90%. I like leaving those for the end, especially animations since they are trickier than most everything else and I wouldn't want to spend too much time building them to later scrap them.
So, yeah, that's about it for today! Next progress update I'll talk a bit more about what you can expect to see in 0.4 (the above pic already says a lot, tho), and also stay tuned for this months render pack for Mochi Defenders and up!
Cheers,
