Hello everyone.
I know I said I would try to have the update ready before Christmas, and I really worked hard to make that happen… but it wasn’t possible.
Luckily, I managed to finish it before the end of the year.
I usually unlock the update for one lower Patreon tier each day until it's free for everyone But honestly, I really need to take a week off. And since the year is almost over anyway,
tomorrow it will be available for everyone.
CRYING SECTION
(Skip this if you don’t want to read excuses and complaining.)
This update focuses on the main story progression. The reason it took so long is mainly because of how heavy and complicated the cabin renders were. Some of them took
a full day each (and I had to redo several of them).
Even so, you’ll notice that the quality of those renders isn’t very good. At some point you just have to accept your limitations and move on.
Then there's the bear and the boar—they kept crashing the program constantly because of the fur (I think it was a combination of the fur and my computer struggling). And between searching for solutions, testing things, and more testing, entire days just disappeared.
This has been, by far, the most frustrating update so far.
In the end, even though I was lent an extra PC, it didn’t help much. Going from one potato to two potatoes doesn’t make a big difference — it just means solving problems on two computers instead of one.
And on top of that, hardware prices keep going up: RAM, GPUs, everything…
So, seeing that getting a powerful PC to work faster and without limits isn’t something I’ll be able to do anytime soon — and that I don’t want updates to take this long — I’ve decided to
simplify the scenes.
Basically, this means I’ll focus on content with
one girl at a time for now. If it’s just the MC and one woman in an outdoor area, the scenes are much more manageable for my computer.
By the way, I’m aware of some mistakes. For example, in Xena’s scene with the MC, I forgot to make the MC wet after coming out of the water… That really bothered me, but the renders take so long that I simply couldn’t afford to redo it
WHAT WILL BE IN 0.4 AND WHEN I THINK IT WILL BE RELEASED
(Considering how “good” I am at estimating dates…)
For version 0.4, I’m basically planning part of what I wanted to include in this update but couldn’t.
- Story development with Gloria:
The protagonist will stay at the girls’ shelter, learning how to read with Gloria. But our protagonist is a curious boy, and as the days go by, he’ll start asking her to teach him… other things as well.
- Scene at the big rock on the beach:
The MC and Xena will climb to the highest point of the beach. What mysteries are hidden up there? What will they discover? I can’t say yet — but I can tell you that Xena will help her friend once again, this time with a handjob.
These are the two main scenes planned for 0.4, but not the only ones.
I’ll also be developing content for
sandbox mode, distributing the girls across the different unlocked areas at different times of day (mainly so Gloria can stay alone with the MC at the shelter).
It sounds more complex than it really is. For now, since nothing happens with most of them, you’ll mainly just talk to them when you run into them.
Except for
Xena and Isabel!
They will get their
first repeatable scenes:
- Isabel will wait for the protagonist in her cabin during the afternoons to help him with his “needs”…
- Xena will do the same, but at the pond in the mornings.
It sounds like a lot, but since I’ll only be working with the MC and one girl at a time, I’ll be able to make this update much faster.
(I estimate it’ll take about
half the time this one did.)
I’m sure I had more things to say, but I’ve been sleeping very little and I really need to rest…
I wish you all a happy end of the year, and thank you so much for your support!
A creamy little kiss…
