Hello,
A good week. Above the target, 2 scenes are completed.



One scene was pretty heavy, I had to tighten some render quality sliders for it. But otherwise it was good and nice to work with.

Second scene was lighter but was in action and required a lot of light and environment adjustment for each shot. It's a pain in the neck to work with such scenes, especially if you want some long shot. Long shots are the worst, closeups are the best. Easy to set up, hard to make look bad. I wish I could make game using only closeups.
Beside that, one more scene and I will be done with that gigantic scene I was working for some time already. There are scenes within scenes.
That's it for this week.

Thank you for being here.

You say this but I'd be absolutely fucking STOKED if I found Settlers of Catan for dirt cheap at a flea market and I'd have a blast with it. I'd also make enemies of my friends, but I digress.
Who wouldn't? Bored games are cool :BootyTime:
Have you played In A Scent? There's a parody Catan with a... controversial twist that you may find hilarious.

Haven't played it, will check it out. If there's a promise of Catan in any form, I'm so there.

Well, games score is 4.3/5 by 150 voters... That's not a coincidence... But everything you said is exactly like you said. Both girls are pretty, but Elsa over Alice is my choice too.

Hello,

Weekly target is OK.
We've reached overall renders target for the upcoming update, kind of. I'm a couple of renders less than the target, but it's one day work and so it doesn't count. It took two weeks more than expected. Not great but taking into account how bumpy it was I thought I'd found myself in a deeper hole.
The target was an amount of renders (~600, same as previous update), after which I would start looking for a place to end the update to avoid dragging it for too long. But as I told you before, this update is special, and there are very few places where it would make sense to end it. So while we are here in terms of renders quantity, how far away are we in terms of story progression?
Well...
From story perspective, plan for the update was to have 4 days. Right now I'm working on final scene of 2nd day. And even this information is quite useless for any predictions: first day was completed under a couple of weeks and a long time ago. Second day has taken more than twice that time and still hasn't been completed. It's not because of my productivity, but because second day features more scenes than the first.
The only predictable thing we have is weekly render production. But its usefulness is limited too – you can make a scene that takes 200 renders while containing little to no story progress. They do make sense sometimes. :)
So...
On the one hand, I think we should be wrapping up this cycle ASAP. It was 4 months since update. March will be fifth, that's a lot.
On the other hand, I can't finish the update without one specific scene at the end of 3rd day. It's mandatory. Besides, the first part of the update has a corporate focus. Therefore, if I end it where it is, it may feel quite monotonous.
This is the state of the... development at the moment. Hope I was able to give you a clear picture where we are and what choices are available.
Thank you for your time this Friday. My best wishes to you and all the wonderful women in your life, without whom none of the world would be possible.
See you.

In a few words, it will come out when it comes out because he doesn't know himself: the update needs to end with a certain scene but he has no idea of how much time he will need to get to it.

8t is simple error, I corrected it...
I prefer Elsa over Alice any time, but Alice is a fine girl too... Domination path would be Emma, she should be dominated... But I'm not sure if MC is ready for that... Yet...

Hello,

Target is OK.
An ordinary week,
I readjusted progress bar, now end point represents 1000 images. This should be enough for 3 days, not so sure about 4. Will see how it goes.
Scenes. Next week I plan to finish 2 scenes, 1 midsize and a small one.
The small should be easy, everything is ready for that, I just need to pose it. Midsize will be more complicated. It happens during the night, and I struggle with night lighting. There should be enough light for render to work. Yet it somehow should look natural, and it's hard to imitate that.
Man, why I cant just put a sun up there and be done with lighting forever? Feels so unfair.
Rendering. Right now there's a heavy scene being worked on, progress is slow. But it's an anomaly for this cycle. There's one more scene that I'm wary of, but the rest of them render much faster than the cycle before.
Preview next week.

That's it for today.
Thank your for your time.
See you.

Hello,


Target is OK.
Month. This week is end of the 'month', 4 weeks since last monthly report. Monthly goals is reached, around 15% above the target. Production-wise, it was best month so far in this cycle.
Week. Completed two scenes this week: the night one and the smaller one.
Night one went rather well, I'm more or less satisfied with how it looks. A bit more light than I'd like to, but now you wouldn't have to bring you visual enhancers to see something. Big W.
The smaller one was even better, because I didn't even have to set it up. Environment and lighting was ready, and all I have to do to is poising.
These two scenes have finished second day. It was big, and I'm glad that it's been completed, and I can put it aside.
Next Week. New week will be unconventional.
First, there's one character. You've already seen them in the game. It's poorly done skin, shape, everything. Somehow, it didn't appear to me when I was working on it. Now it has to be resigned before going forward, and I might need your input on that character to avoid making the mistake again.
After that, I need to run a few test renders and finalize some assets before going in day 3. Kinda start struggling with finding the right outfits for some character, they only have so much B&W clothes in store.
All in all, it would take me around 2-3 days. Then for the rest of the week I'll be working on 3rd day. I want to keep corporate part compact to give myself a bit more space to work with other parts. Time to cut some visual corners in favor of story progression.
Paid Post will be on March 30, next Saturday. Still a week to go, but to avoid short notice, keep in mind.

That's it for today.
Thanks for you time.
See you
