Resident Post: BIG PROGRESS
BA BA BOOM!
Hi folks! I am utterly
steamrolling through content atm. At this rate the patch will be larger than expected but without the extension of time. I've just been hammering through scene after scene at record pace this past week.
I spent most of last weeks update focused on the Renshire Story VNs without too much current patch information. This week we'll focus on my musings, what's completed for 3.2 so far and what's left!

Intro to topless bathhouse ^_^
I've got a couple of new toys both in RPGM and in Daz3d. The bathhouse preview above has a new steam volumetric that I love. It's a little quirky to use because there's no real-time viewport display but it's fairly customizable and looks pretty slick I think. To this date I've only used flat planes with steam textures so this is a nice upgrade for baths, showers, hot food/drinks, the bathhouse or even fires.
I should mention that although this patch will see Lisa gaining the ability to enter the female bathhouse with no bikini top, there won't be any bathhouse specific content outside of the Exhibitionist+ events. The event shown is a dedicated Exhibitionist event. The bathhouse update will added after Jayce's Party is completed as it's quite extensive.
The thing that I'm currently "worried" about with this patch is variety. Yes, we visit a dozen or so areas in search of new spots to take Lisa's clothes off but it is just that.
Taking Lisa's clothes off.
There will be a
lot of these Exhibitionist events so keeping each event feeling unique is proving quite difficult. The task is creating myriad small events that all have their own individual flair. It might not sound difficult and it wasn't for the first 7-8 events. Now I'm considering event 20-30 and I'm thinking; "a lot of this just feels a bit samey."
This only covers the visual side of things but writing dialogue is perhaps an even taller hill to climb. Conversations between two people can be different every time for a LONG time but Lisa's alone during almost all of these events. How many times can she say to herself "I shouldn't be doing this" or "I hope no-one sees me" before it gets extremely repetitive. I haven't yet begun writing the events but I suspect that I'll probably have to limit the amount of inner monologue for each of the Exhib events simply because there's just nothing to say and the last thing I want to add is filler text.
This is just how I'm thinking though, I'm not stressing or anything because at the end of the day,
there will be overlap, obviously. If some events feel similar to others then so be it. So far I'm extremely happy with the variance in the scenes, even technically in that some are transparent background events where Lisa's character is the only thing visible and others are full CGs.

Renshire Forest the way it will be seen when I remake the first Date with Danny in future.
I'll write out a list of events that are built so far with the amount of scenes currently finished noted after and finally followed by the amount of scenes planned for 3.2 in brackets.
Tom Toilet 1 (2)
Tom Public 1 (3)
Lisa's Pool 2 (3)
Albiss Garden 1 (2)
Bathhouse 1 (2)
Bus 1 (3+)
Behind Rubbins 1 (3)
711 1 (2)
West Coffee 1 (2)
Forest 1 (3)
(Tom is referencing the coffee shop - Tom Horton's near Lisa house in case anyone's wondering who Tom is xD)
This is just the Exhibitionist content that's CG ready so far. Other planned Exhibitionist events for 3.2:
Labourers (2?)
Beach (3)
Classroom (2)
Train (3+)

Lisa's hair grew 5 inches overnight? Nope! ^_^
So there's around 30 events that I've noted so far, none of which share any CGs and that scene number is likely to rise as I get into RPGM to start building this whole system. It also doesn't include the events in which Lisa learns new tricks or the crossover events with Sharon for example. It's a lot.. ^_^
You might be wondering why Theo's isn't on the list or the Brava hotel. This is intentional. Exhibitionism doesn't start and end with 3.2, it'll continue for the duration of the game. I have plans for the credit quests in relationship to Exhibitionism but I'll add to those when I'm working on those routes again.
Is there anything you'd hoped would be on the list that isn't? Let me know if there is!!

Sharon in the driver's seat ^_^
Amidst the Exhibitionist rampage that I've been on, I've also made some progress on the first of the Sharon Voyeur events. I've shared a couple of Sharon's new movie night images already and 3 of those scenes are fully finished. I think there's probably gonna be 3 of these voyeur events in total as well. I also have the intro section of a Lisa x Sharon bath event started but I'll talk more specifically on Sharon's content when I get more of it actually finished.
It's gonna be a big patch, without a doubt.
But that's about it! If I've missed anything let me know ^_^
Thanks for the constant support and for all your messages this week

I hope this patch sounds fun and exciting, I've been having a ball working on it so I hope that translates well into the game!
Sending my love to all of you. Thank you all again so much for being here <3 x
