Path to Release - Dev Note 1

First, I'm very frustrated at myself for not getting the chapters developed correctly the first time around, but I'm probably being too hard on myself. However, I should've done a better job of checking chapters for mistakes before releasing them. Sorry about that.

I hope to have this novel finished and released by March 3rd as the Visual Novel sale on Steam is from March 3rd to March 10th in 2025. However, it's more about getting it done right than rushing the release, so we shall see.

Below is the first look at the progress of what I call "Deep checking" on each chapter, there are 4 passes on each chapter. A single pass is me going through the images in a chapter and checking for mistakes, then fixing the mistakes. A second pass is me going back through and seeing if there are mistakes I missed on the first pass, this keeps going until I find no mistakes.

The first pass accounts for 40% as that is where the most mistakes are found and fixed, the second pass and so on accounts for 20%. There are 4 passes in total. So far, I haven't needed any more than 4 passes. If you see a 50%  next to a chapter, that means I have done a pass but not finished fixing the mistakes found on that pass, essentially split the 40% or 20% pass in two, one being the checking and one being fixing.

1. Chapter 1: 50%
2. Chapter 2: 40%
3. Chapter 3: 40%
4. Chapter 4: 40%
5. Chapter 5: 40%
6. Chapter 6: 100%
7. Chapter 7: 100%
8. Chapter 8: 100%
9. Chapter 9: 100%
10. Chapter 10: 50%
11. Chapter 11: 100%

As you can see, I have finished the first pass on all chapters but it is rather amazing how much you can miss on the first pass. It's really the first two passes where you find all the mistakes and then a few odd ones in the third pass
