Could someone post the latest status update?



Hello Patrons!
I'm not gonna lie, lately I've been burnout, I tried to setup renders but with little to success, I have made some progress in writing but not much terms of renders. But I'm aiming for a better workflow this feburary, setting up renders like I always do for each week, but taking it a bit slow terms of putting pressure on myself. I can say this coming update will be the biggest one i've ever done. there will be a lot of renders on chapter 3 alone and I can't wait for you guys to get hands on it. I honestly have no clue on the release, there is still a lot that needs to be worked on.

Renders: 943 rendered
Writing: 19472 words
Animations: 6

What's going on with Chapter 1?
I'll continue to develop Chapter 1 however at the end of the dev phase, I like to focus first forward then look back. Chapter 3 is my top priority at the moment

Music
I've been saving up money to get lisence for the game, it's very costly from what I've seen. But it will be worth it and will add much better flavour for the game.

3090 Ti is a beast!
Been rendering crowds now and more charachters in each render, been trying to build up the world and make it more lively. Problem with my old card was I couldn't render more than 4+ people. Now I can render 10 and in a good scene maybe even 12! It also helps that I have a lot more cuda cores than my previous cards so it renders much faster. Adding more charachters in each scene will however cause more posing work. Which if you have never worked DAZ before, it takes longer in some cases than the images rendering. Ocean has been giving me some advice and pointers too which is lovely.

Animations
I plan to setup more animations however at the mid point of development to the end point. This require a lot of hours to get right.

What now?
I'm gonna jump on to rendering, however like I said earlier will be more careful to now burn myself out, I've started to use a few methods to help me out with this. As a result I will be more consistent with renders because of this :)

If you have any questions or concerns DM me here or on Discord, I hope everyone is gonna have a great weekend :)



Kind regards

Hello Patrons, I don't have much to talk about, Progress is currently moving. Finally we've reached over 1k renders for Chapter 3 alone, there is still work that needs to be done, but I can say we're getting close for Chapter 3 ;)

NGL been struggling kind of making progress terms of renders, this update is far not my best terms of me being effective. I'm still looking for stratgies to combat burnouts and stresses, if you have any tips I mean might as well write them down, worth a shot :)

Music
It's gonna be tricky not gonna lie, it's quite espensive to liscene I gonna still save up, I'll also look around at the same time if there is any more cheaper but good music alternatives.

Question. Who actually listens to the music used in the VNs? Personally I enjoy certain piano sets on loop and mute every single VN I play. And the few times I tried I found it very hard to enjoy. Maybe I just do not get the setting the devs are trying to portray but every time I listen to music in VNs it feels out of place. Would love to know if I am the only one thinking this or if I am a minority in this.

I am in the same boat usually, only a few where i actually don't mute the music cus it hits the spot (A.O.A Academy, Being a DIK, Chasing Sunsets, Eternum) else i also tend to listen to some beautiful music tracks and mute in game sound ;)

Hello everyone, hope you are well

So far so good
I've been rendering and writing quite a lot lately, so far I feel like this update is going to be the biggest and best one in my opinion. I'm happy how things are going, I just sadly still have no release that and I'm hoping to get it done asap. But I have a feeling chapter 4 will be better terms of update cycle but no promises

Music
I'm going to get some music from preimum beats, however there is a downside with it. Once I get my game ready for steam release a lot of the songs will need to be replaced. Right now I feel like this the best option, because right now I don't have enough financially to pay artists directly and have a good lisence

The fact that the game only had 2 episodes and a rework till now and the dev is already starting to feel burned out is a sign of game either getting abandoned or on hold for a long while in future. Also the fact that his patron support isn't that high adds to the fire. I hope he can get out of it cuz the game surely got potential.

Dude, it's been a long time and nothing new has been published. Despite this, he has 70 patreons. I think that's good enough, if it starts giving regular updates we'll see it gets even better.

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well!

First of all, sorry for taking so long to post a status report.

BAD NEWS
So, I've been without internet since Friday, it's complete shit and I'm trying my best to solve this problem. The "bright side" of this is that it doesn't affect game development as I have all the material downloaded to render, I'll just be offline from Discord and Patreon until I get this resolved.

GOOD NEWS
The writing for Chapter 3 is completely finished and coding has been underway for a few days now, meanwhile renderings are proceeding normally.

Renders: 1671
Writing:
Animations: 6

Previews
Currently unable to post previews because of internet problem
*(Until I solve this internet problem I won't have as many previews to show)*
