Alright, so just wanted to give a heads up on what's going on with Chapter 7, as I got a message asking if I was still working on it. Work is still ongoing with it, though a lot slower than I'd like, as I've had some health issues to attend to, as well as a heavier work schedule. Also, Chapter 7 is easily the biggest one so far. As of writing, I'm close to 350 renders (with most of the renders, due to their complexity, requiring multiple renders to actually create) and I truly have no idea on lines of script/code (each path now runs somewhere between 5000-8000 and there's 16 different paths... so yeah, it's pretty huge). There will be 6-7 different endings to find, as well as multiple different ways for scenes to play out. I'm getting close to the end now, with only a couple more scenes left to do. But, when you're doing scenes with 6+ characters in them and you want them to look really good, you have to do multiple renders and piece them together, unfortunately, which takes a lot more time. So yeah, it's getting closer, but still a little way out. I'm looking to finish off one of the remaining scenes in the next couple days and knocking out the other one after that. All in all, it'll be about another 30-50 renders more than likely, pushing the grand total to about 400 renders for this chapter. 

(The included image shows some of the complexity of these renders. There are six characters in this render, as well as a two-way mirror effect, which took 4 separate renders pieced together to create, as the complexity of the characters (as well as the two environments) was just too much for my rig to handle. But yes, this has been a big issue and the two-way mirror effect took some time to figure out just HOW to do it. But it all worked out in the end, and I really can't wait for you all to check this chapter out)
