So, I just read a posted review.
Being rated one star doesn't bother me. If there's a problem with the VN, then I get it.
But all the bad reviews complain of "grannies" and "no choices..."
Don't people read the OP to see what they can expect? I don't get it.
It's not going to stop me working on this story, since I think it's a really good one. But come on, man!

Hope I won't cause any controversy on your thread, this is strictly MY opinion.

I've read a lot of reviews on this forum, I do that before downloading any game. The 5 star and 1 star reviews are usually useless. With enough popularity, every shitty game has plenty of 5 star reviews and every good game always has 1 star reviews. There's no way around it.

I think everybody has ginormous dicks that sucks all the blood from their brain, because most of the reviews I've read over time are black and white, it's rare to see a sentence that denotes traces of complex thinking. People are here for porn not for philosophical treatises, I know, but come on...
Yes, I am pretentious.

Keep doing what you do, follow your vision. It's your game, do whatever you want to do.

You're doing a fantastic job... but I would like to give you an advice, maybe it would be better if you applied a fade on the text box, because it happens many times that the text box covers part of delicious image...

Script is already done for Ch03 part 1!
Osa will be looking over it.
And while that's happening, I'll start working on the images.
And I'm sure I'm about to jinx myself, but I think I can get this update out much, much sooner than the others.
At least less than 3-4 months!

I've started to work on the first few scenes. Believe or not, the biggest problem I had with making this scene?
Bodil's rag dress. It took an hour just to figure out how to get the rag to drape around the demon chick's forearm.

So, I'm finishing up the coding of the script and adding some key scenes. I'll be sending it out for proofing early so I can at least get the dialogue checked, which is the biggest part of it all.
I have over 500 images I need to make and render... And this is a problem for me.

Not for the technical aspect of it, or the time... It's the lack of "surprise" I have now. When I did everything thus far, I had an idea of what I wanted to do, what part of the story I wanted to tell, and what characters and scenes I wanted to use. But there was always an excitement of what could come next, since even I didn't exactly know how I could mold the script around the images.
But now I know exactly what each image is supposed to say. It's faster, that's for sure. I can get this update out maybe a month or so earlier than other updates. It just feels like homework.

I think the rest of the updates will go back to what I was doing before... kind of. I'll split different sections of the story, make the images, make the script, send it off for proofing, and repeat for new sections until I feel the update could be ready.

It's all about making it easier for all of the post-work (edits, updates, fixes).
Anyhoo... need to finish these key scenes and send it off.

I have a few more "key" images I need to do so the script at least makes some kind of sense.
It's been a brutal at work this week. This is the first shot I've been able to do all week. I want to change up some of the wall decor in the back to make it more "demon-ey". But you can finally get a sense of what's planned for MC.

Renders are coming along nicely. Only have about 10% of them done though. Work hasn't let up even during holidays. I've got the first round of edits back, and they are fucking amazing.

There is alot of posing and dForce that has to happen in a majority of these images. Each one can take up to an hour just to get right. Not to mention all of the test renders to just make sure I get the shot good enough. These particular scene images (throne room) have ~2.7gb of materials and like ~10gb of textures total. This shot is 1.092gb geometry and 5.121gb textures, 74.513mb lights.

A quick 4 minute render. You can see everything I need to fix. Onwards!

Did 4 images today...
It was all I could do...
Too much booze...
Too much work work...
Not enough motivation...
Too much demons throwing people...
Not enough big-ass titties...

The energy to keep pushing
Internal wellspring of power
To produce
To create
Ice melts in the empty glass
Everyone thinks it is easy
So few actually succeed

now read the first letters only. :)
