Dev-Update #03/19
Hey everyone,
I’ve been silent for the last months I know and yeah I probably should post something more often than that. I’ve thought about posting a weekly update, but the truth is I can’t promise that I will be able to do that. The monthly Dev-Update is something that I try to post every month around the 20th, but as you’ve seen even that sometimes is a bit difficult.
That doesn’t mean though that I forgot to post or that I went away and abandoned IR!
The fact of the matter is though, that with my day job, all the stuff that comes with it and the preparation of renders and the story, it’s not always possible for me to post something. I’m gonna try to post a quick update every now and then though.
Now onto IR version 0.1. I’ve said on my Discord that the release will be ready in about 1 ½. The release version then won’t be the full 0.1 though. Or rather it won’t be 0.1 just yet.
The problem is that I lost my entire Daz library with all the assets and scene files. To be fair though that most likely was my own fault. I’ve had about half of the scenes on another drive as well though and thankfully those scenes were most of the scenes for the new release. So I got back up and running fairly quick. So in short, I royally forked up. ^^
Nevertheless the renders are done by now, it’s just that there are still some kinks with some of the renders (and to be honest I don’t want to add flawed renders now, only to rerender them later on and kind of force you to replay the game/scenes again), the code and the story. I’m gonna try to add as much as I can, but it’s most likely not gonna be everything I’ve wanted to add, so the new version will only be version 0.75.
I will give my best to provide the full 0.1 release as fast as possible. After all the changes to the code and the game in general that’s sadly the best I can do for now. But even though it’s not gonna be the full 0.1 release it’s still going to be the biggest update I’ve ever posted. So I guess that’s at least some good news.
The Eva path alone will add over 50 images and then there’s the continuation of the Main/Beth path which will eventually add roughly more than double that amount once 0.1 is released.
So approximately half of the total number of images that are currently in the game will be added in 0.1. For 0.75 however it’s “only” around 100 renders that are going to be added. Version 0.75 will for now only add the night of day 4 and the the morning/noon of day 5. The full release of 0.1 will eventually add the entire day 5 with the focus mainly on Beth’s job.
Last but not least, I’m really sorry about the fact that I won’t be able to post the full release yet, I really wish that I could, but as I’ve said due to the library and scene files vanishing that’s not really possible. And yeah I admit it’s most likely entirely my own fault.
And with that …
Best regards
Kinney
