Chapter 3 - DevLog 5

Hey, how are you doin', everyone?
2 months from the release of Ch2, and I'm currently at 600 images. As always, I run into some complications, but whatever, I'm trying to stay positive. One scene, which wasn't even that complicated, gave me a really big headache. The first day, everything in the render queue was set to 8K resolution (6 hours of rendering for one image). When I woke up, I found out that only two images were done (yeah, I'm dumb). I went back, redoed everything, and set up a new render queue. This time, I messed up something else (yeah, I'm dumb even more). Everything was fine the third time (thankfully), and the scene was completed.
However, besides the usual stuff, I've written a cinematic that should be at the beginning of Chapter 3. It's hard to say what outcome I'm going to have from this, but according to the written part, it's really beautiful. I think I never mentioned that to you, but when I was younger, I used to play piano for a few years, and it's like riding a bicycle - you can't forget that. That's why I decided that I could maybe get back to this stuff a little bit and do some music for a game. Of course, I'm not Beethoven, but I can do something, I guess, at least for some specific moments in the game.
Besides that, there is not much to say. The writing is going well; I fell in love with the visual for Chapter 3, and we will see what's going to happen after the release. However, I'm really looking forward to that; I'm excited.
At the end, some previews

Stay safe out there! See you later :)

Interesting. I saw that Ocean praised Dream (never seen him do anything like that before) on his server and then Dream came up with this visual. Is it just me or is it really quite different from past updates? I mean, better?

first play and I already loved it, it's a little heavy at the beginning but it's games like this that I like, a great future ahead. With multiple protagonists it only becomes even more perfect! :coffee:

I like it but it's pretty much a kinetic novel.
Breaks my immersion a Lot when an MC gives opinions about hard topics that are the complete opposite of what I think. I'm not a fan of tattoos nor furniture but besides that models are very good.

Thank you and best of luck.

I jumped into this scene yesterday. I think we all know her very well, and I thought I could show you something for comparison... Personally, I think the differences are very noticeable, especially when it comes to Lily. So far, I'm really happy with the results, but will you be too? You can leave a comment

Who is this broad right next to the guy with a rose coming outta his neck?
She looks totally removed from the girl we used to hang about the past version of this game.

Is this the same babe ?

The old scenes showed a lotta hope . .the hope MC has been pouring down his throat
all this time, the hope keeping him doing all the stupid stuff that brings in the money
the hope of life being right around the corner for her.

These new scenes are inches away form ascension - the lights when they pull you outta existence ....

I won't do any custom renders for a while, but I'd like to remind myself from time to time in the style of "hey, I'm still alive, I'm here," so I'll occasionally post something from the ongoing rework (no spoilers). Enjoy

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, a relaxing holiday season, and a fantastic beginning to 2024. Health is the most precious gift, remember that. Spend these days surrounded by your loved ones, and take a moment to honor and remember those who are no longer with us.
To everyone here, I want to give a huge thank you! This year has been a total game-changer for me, and it's all thanks to your support. You've allowed me to dive into what I love, and I promise to give it my all in return next year. Looking forward to catching up with you all in the coming year! Stay safe out there, and rest assured, I'll keep pushing forward with my work!
Merry Christmas

I assume it's young version of Samantha and Olivia. Jesus, they're so cute :love:
