Story Update: The End of the World Ch. 5 Barnacle Burgers

Well, took my sweet time didn't I? Here we are though finally.

The End of the World Ch. 5 Barnacle Burgers

This chapter was really hard to shoot pictures for since I wanted a diner full of people in the background, getting them all in place and forcing them to stay took a lot of time, which meant having to revert to a previous save four times just to get the daylight back, which in turn meant having to get the people back at the tables again since the game popped them out of their seats every damned reload!

But it was worth it, I think the diner really does look busy and the people like they're going about their daily lives, which is what you want from extras. The diner did take a while to build too, I'm pretty happy with it, a very stereotypical diner, just like you'd expect in a small town like Barnacle Bay.

Small Step Closer

OK, now the chapter is almost done, well the words are written, I only need to take the pictures, which I'll hopefully be able to finish this weekend. I acually usually have some or most pictures taken already when I write a chapter, but this time I ended up doing it the other way around. So we'll see if this means it'll be harder or easier to take pictures ingame.

Anyways, I'm really excited about getting a chapter written, it's been so long! Hopefully I'm not jinxing it today by posting this little positive note, you never know...

I'll leave you with a bit of a blooper from the last chapter. I had taken all pictures I needed and while going through them I started to feel that maybe Daniel, as a father, and Darcy, as a teenage girl with all of their hang ups, wouldn't be walking around in just their sleep wear.

And then there was this pic which convinced me completely that I needed to take new pictures. Doesn't it look like Darcy is completely mesmerized by Daniel's pecs?

Now, that's just wrong!
