Hi everyone!
Quick update as we're approaching end of June.
We have one last animation to go before everything is in the rendering queue and we reach the final step for this episode.
From there on, it should go pretty fast. I reckon, posing in Ren'Py and testing shouldn't take us more than a week. We are definitely aiming for a July release.
Hopefully, rendering goes smoothly so we can deliver that episode to you as soon as possible.
Thanks for your patience and support!
Have a nice week,
K

Hi everyone!
I have some good and bad update for you today.
Let's start with the bad one so it's out of the way.
Animations have been done, but unfortunately, Atton found out that rendering 1 frame takes a long time and it overheats his PC as well. Took him 2 hours do do 4 frames...From his estimation, it would just take too long to render all animations entirely, and it's not guarantee that his PC can handle that non-stop either.
Thus, we won't be able to deliver the animated scenes we wanted. There will be animations but we will have to replace the other frames with static renders and try our best to make it satisfying enough.
The good update is that if we can't render every animations, the rendering queue has gotten shorter. As soon as we can have an estimation, I will prepare a release schedule.
In the meantime, Atton has already moved onto Episode 5 so development has begun for the next one.
That's it for this week! Hopefully, I can come back really soon with good news!
Have a nice weekend =)

Maybe they should ask in the developers corner https://f95zone.to/forums/programming-development-art.73/ or hire someone with experience https://f95zone.to/forums/recruitment-services.117/

Japp...i m with you. Maybe i should tell this Atton or K?!?! It s seem that they have a few problems...

 

[Ragnar]

That's why I don't blame devs if their games don't have animations. It can be great if done right but if you don't have the right tools is gonna be development hell. Still, if they want to have animations they better ask for help or even hire some competent animator.

I don't think hiring someone is an option. Look at his patreons...................

Dev Log #33

Hi everyone!
We're finally approaching the finish line!
As you know, animations have been made for this episode (which is why it took longer than we'd anticipated), but due to the sheer amount of time it'd have taken to render them, they have been scrapped. Silver lining is, Atton learned to do them and upped his skills so if we reach a point in the future where we have the PC power to render them, it'd take less time.
Now that is out-of-the way, I can inform you that every scene has been added to Ren'Py and the routes have been tested. Remaining task on my side is to add the music.
While I work on the last task, Atton will test the game and if needed, we'll fix a few bugs or add a render here and there. I reckon this shouldn't take us more than a week (unless multiple new renders need to be made).
While I won't give dates yet, I'm confident the game should be out before August 1st. Next update should have release dates + final previews roll out.
Until then, I hope you all have a great week!
K

The story is a good stand alone in itself. Animations are great but resource and time issues may want them to be limited to the most important scenes and plot reveals should be considered. Generally speaking, that also ought to be the same with some scene renders that have no strategic value. A player taking a quick glimpse at a park that only needs one render helps with resource and time budgeting. Besides sometimes a grainy picture is the most appropriate depiction of an event

Well, it is nice to find some hidden gems on this site once in a while. This game is surely one of them.

Same here. And still amazed that not many more people are here on the thread......

 

[anonnyscouse]

The more people on this thread the more people who will complain that Ari is not an LI.

the amount that complain about makes me seem like the weirdo on this thread. As I dont see it as a big deal at all and rather keep the relationship wholesome since there are other options that are nearly as good in terms of looks at least to me. But yeah Ari personality / character wise probably my favorite so far lol

 

[imagica]

I like Suzy the most. She is like the lost puppy with sad eyes.

I have no problem with Ari not being an LI, my post was a comment on the basic mentality of most people on this site rather than a comment on Ari not being an LI. As the update is coming within 6 months the game isn't going to attract the "update when / this game is abandoned / this dev is milking" crowd, and there's no hint of NTR, so it would mainly be the incestbros who invade the thread if it got more popular.

I think I like Kiara the most but really liked Emily and Suzy too. I liked Meera alot as well but I dont think more than the other 3 .

I'm not complaining she's not LI. After all, Kiara keeps me plenty satisfied. But I do think it's weird that the non-romanceabale sister is the cover girl and used in the majority of promos.

Ari's not a cover girl actually (not one of the main 6 shown anyway) although I wish she was! Her model I mean, as someone else who is not your sister. It will be a bit refreshing for me actually playing a game where you have a close and loving relationship with your sister without it getting twisted and being weird. You have a laugh together, look out for eachother, all of that good stuff.
You know I share your love for Kiara, so I'm hoping and praying for plenty of her in the update this week.

She was for quite some time, but I agree, I play a few games where the mother and/or sister is non-romanceable. The unusual relationship (in AVN) is very enjoyable. Just having a mother/sister without the sexual tension is most refreshing.
