Corporate Development Memo 12th of May 2025
Hi everyone,
For those of you that celebrate Mother's Day, I hope it went great! My family and two others that have been our close friends for years all did our own dinners but then later we all got together to celebrate the mothers! I've had some absolutely epic fights with my mother over the years as we're both honestly fire breathing dragons that are quite strong willed, but I love her so much and appreciate that she's the main reason I have a strong work ethic and sense of purpose in life. She's an amazing woman and I never take for granted how fortunate I've been with having such a great mom!
I always encourage everyone to tell your loved ones how much you love them and how meaningful they are in your life. So make sure and do that...often
1) Basic update info:
I will likely release the dom poll set tomorrow as I am cleaning up a few more renders. The set ended up (as usual) bigger than I wanted but I felt some guilt about not wanting to shortchange the dom side after doing a monstrous length sub poll set of 91 images.
Overall, I kind of did a lot this week.
60 game renders --> 1,366 renders
67 dom poll renders (likely will release this tomorrow)
Total renders done: 127
20 animations finalized (total animations I am likely to use so far for this update is now 33 animations as of now)
In an ideal week, maybe I did 90 game renders and just 37 poll renders but it's ok. I don't mind going off script here and there.
I feel this was a pretty good week, especially considering how much time I spent on all three different areas listed above. (the last takes quite a while to do which most creators know of course)

2) Game Endings
I have been outlining some tweaks to my endings as well this week. I have been doing kind of a long view of everything and I feel I want to create a few deeper paths for some characters but shallow a few others so to speak. I am still working on this over the next month for sure so I will hold off on detailed specifics until I have more clarity. But I am likely to add three new endings, and eliminate two planned endings I had outlined prior...so I am likely to have 16 endings versus 15 now.
3) Preview Images
Just sharing that the first four images are from the dom path and the next small set from the sub path.
4) Big Picture
The update is actually getting pretty close towards the last arc/part. Once I work I think another month (crossing likely 1700-1800 renders) I think it will be getting pretty close!
5) Daz Studio 2025 (RTX 5090)
As I said prior, Daz Studio (the rendering program) has a new beta that can use the new 5000 series video cards. This is big down the road because if the program can work with a 5090, the VRAM that is usable can go from 24 to 32 VRAM. This is a BIG help for me for larger scenes because the truth is that I have had to abandon multiple scene ideas because of this memory issue. I have dreamed of a specific party scene for years and I have had to abandon a lot of this because I simply cannot pull it off properly - in terms of how I imagine it - due to VRAM limits. So I am hopeful that (likely in 6+ months so more for later updates than this one) a final version will come out down the road that works out all the kinks/problems. (currently there are definitely a lot of issues as it's a pure early access/beta version, etc.)
One random example of the issues are that it can't do yet a full render queue list which means I can't yet load say 40 renders and leave it on to render them all over and over smoothly while I sleep. But I'm testing it on my old RTX 3090 system here and there...
6) Steam
Not speaking too much on this yet, but I'm progressing. Two languages are nearly done, and some other features are in progress. I'll share more when ready but I am quietly working on this when time permits.
Of course...I want to figure out a way to get Patrons this version with keys or some other way.

Please have a great week all! I am up pretty late writing this after a long family night so I apologize in advance if my writing is a bit off. (It's almost 2 am!)
I will diligently work on some tweaks with the dom poll set and hope to have it out in its own post soon (67 images). Thanks all!
Love,
Tess
