Factory report of the second episode No. 3

We haven't been in touch for a long time: work on the novel is progressing slowly, as it happens due to the various difficulties mentioned in this post.

Architectural Design Bureau Report:

Backgrounds – 40%

The backgrounds remain in the working stage and have not moved off the ground. The artist provided rough renderings, but the final version of the art is not ready yet. The artist sometimes disappears and stops responding to messages, perhaps he has his own problems. We are waiting for information...

Sprites – 0%

The sprite part remains zero. It was decided to complete the CG art first, and then refine the character sprites.

CG-art – 50%

Most of the artwork for Thursday is ready; the process is moving smoothly to Friday. Only one artist is actively working despite being busy with projects other than the factory. Thanks to Acta est Fabula for finding time for the Zavod project despite her busy schedule.

Software Department Report:

The code is 0% The code is at zero. We are waiting for the text to be fully edited and completed before it is inserted into the novel.

The report of the Bright Sun Music Club:

Music – 80%

As you may have noticed from previous publications, the main composer of the novel joined the army. We are currently looking for a replacement, but we have managed to reach an agreement with the band Past Day: they will add a couple of their own compositions to the novel. At the moment, there will be eleven new tracks in the new episode.

Voice acting — 0%

We are awaiting the final and approved text of the new episode.

Report from the Archive No. 9 factory:

Scenario — 100%

The script for the second episode is completely ready and now needs editing and polishing.

Editing — 10%

The editing will be done by the same person who edited the first episode.

English translation — 0%

We have received a lucrative offer to translate the novel into Chinese; perhaps there will be Chinese readers and fans of the factory atmosphere!
