You may need to change the rendering engine. I'm not positive, but try holding the A key when you start it up.

Weekly check-in!
Made some progress with the soundtrack for this chapter. Once this chapter is out the door, I will look into bringing back the music room AKA DJ Kink's Studio. Long story short, there was a fiasco with a company changing their contract terms, and many of us in the adult gaming community had to make changes. So, in my case. I had to revise a lot of the code which broke the player. But I'm aiming to bring it back.
As December looms over, I want to remain transparent in that it's likely I won't meet the Christmas deadline I set. Beta generally runs for two weeks and the build is not at that point just yet. I know this might upset some, but I needed to report that. I'll still be pushing for the Christmas date (hoping for a Christmas miracle and all). With everything that's gone on this year for me, I just want to move forward and go into next year fresh. So, I'm going to continue to push to get this release by Christmas. But I also want to remain transparent and set expectations.
Thanks everyone and have a great week.

It's been a difficult year for him, you can't judge him for that.
This is, quite simply, wrong. They're charging $10 a month to access to the game. Neither lower tier allows access to the current release version. They're charging a premium price for a product and if they aren't delivering on that, THAT is absolutely an issue. There are ZERO other situations to which I will accept entering into a social contract with a group or individual and be willing to put up with them utterly failing to consistently deliver on their side of that contract. Even if you have small children, if they fail to pick up their toys, they would be reprimanded. And you are expecting people to hold this developer LESS responsible for their failures than a small child.
How people here receive this game is irrelevant. If the developer chose to stagnate the updates HERE for 2-3 updates to drive people to the $10 tier of his patreon, I'd have no issue with that. (Something I have seen done by other developers here) Yet seeing that customers paying a premium are not receiving their promised service means that they just lost at least one potential customer, in myself. This is a business where he has multiple revenue streams, including Steam and patreon, so if one individual is unable to perform, they need to at least hire someone to fill that role.
I WANT to find a game/dev worthy of paying for their product. That's why there is an entire massive multi-billion dollar industry around just discussing video games. Sadly, these games just fall (often very slightly) outside of what would make them acceptable in that space.

His mother died, fuckface.
The guy's mother just passed away so yeah I would say it has been a difficult year for him. You also aren't obligated to pay him $10 a month. The people that are doing that do it because they want to support him

1- His mother died
2- he almost became blind due to keratoconus.
3- pc had hardware issues that stalled development
next time, try researching the thread to find answers on why things happened the way they did before rambling useless shit.
1-his mother died and he is still grieving which is a valid reason for not working on the game
2-you're on a site where pirates routinely upload games and updates for those games so you aren't even paying for it
3-HIS FUCKING MOTHER DIED. ffs have some damn empathy for others instead of being an entitled prick who cries like a child who didn't get the toy they wanted

Guys...
What does such statistic says what kind of user it is who makes such a statement?
No, don't say it. Everyone knows. Now let's stop feeding the troll.

I want to point out that people are "voluntarily" contributing to any developers project. NOBODY makes them. If they do not like how things are going, they should stop contributing. Personally, I have several developers that I contribute to. However, I do not do it on a monthly basis. When they release an update that becomes available for me to download, I contribute for one month and that's it. I am sorry, but your assertions "seem" to be that of someone who "seems" to think that the world exists to provide you with something on "your" terms. The world doesn't work that way pal. 99% of these developers do this out of love for the craft itself. The support we give helps them fund it because contrary to what you may think, it isn't easy or cheap. The number 2 reason projects get abandoned is lack of financial backing. Number one though, is guys like you, that seem to think they owe you something because you toss a $10 bill their way. They stop because they simply get tired of your bullshit. For the record, the guy suffered a loss in his family. Heaven forbid you and others have any fucking compassion!!

Id like to point out that the assets and all of the models plus backgrounds also have a certain cost, which is finaciated by the dev. hence finacial support is often that what keeps the game alive.
If you don't belive me go to the DAZ3D shop and check out what a model costs, and what the hair plus other things cost.

Absolutely second this. I know multiple devs that have spent $10k+ on Daz assets and licenses in order to have the variety of assets they need for their full game.

Well, they didn't bought much. 10k isn't much for a full game. That's what some devs spent on one release.
To be clear, I meant after discounts. So it'd look more like this:
So this particular dev could have spent $131K on assets if they didn't wait for sales and other discounts. But yeah, I know some devs spend way more than $10K.

Hey, everyone!
Sometimes when you're working on a scene, there's just something that's off. And after spending so much time trying to fix it, you realize its best to just move forward with it. Or else you end up spending more time on it than you want. But I like to keep those bits in the back of my mind while I work on new scenes. See if I can think of something to fix the issue.
One of those examples being the Halloween party in CH4. So many custom 3D assets, so many characters and the damn ground fog I had to have in the scene. At the time, I was doing 4K no denoise and downscaling the renders. Needless to say, the renders came out pretty bad. Even with denoise, I would have to set the iterations at a crazy number and each scene already was hitting 40+ min a shot to render and I felt the pressure of the release date with no solution to fix at the time. I believe I found a solution, but won't test it until after this release (that scene alone is over 1k renders.)
In regard to this chapter though, I was able to fix a scene that was nagging me and it was only 6 renders to fix.
Difficult to see, but there's black splotches at the upper left (more noticeable full screen). But the main issue is DK's skin.
