Hello!

It's time. It's Friday. Yay. Another Progress Update!

But I'll be honest. I had a bit of a shit week. Some early-in-the-morning appointments screwed up my evenings, also known as my rendering hours!

Even so, we're crawling forward towards another update. A patch of sticky mud here and there is just a li'l obstacle to overcome.

I'm currently working on the penultimate scene for the next update. Perhaps 50 renders to go on it, some transition renders, and then one more big scene of maybe 150 renders and some animations. That's it.

It's getting there. Too slow for my taste, but hey, you do what you can and that's that.

Anyway, [above is] a picture from the scene I'm working on right now.


Question time! Not that there were many though.

Is Beth going to invite all the girls to her wedding?


Yes. Even Messy Jessy would be there! Maybe not Jasmine though.

Why do you do questions every Friday?


For several reasons!
- Fridays are the best days of the week.
- People wonder things, sometimes. By gathering the questions and answering them here, others can see the answers.
- It pads these progress reports, making them bigger!



Alright, I'll try to put together another few renders today. Thank you for reading and thank you for your support.

not gonna lie I was starting to not like the MC after the blackmail stuff with the cop and even the way he handled Elisabeth after that scene when im not on the sub path I didn't like either. But this made up for it somewhat , I love me headpats.

It's a good practice to always headpat a girl before you stick it up her butt. Or so I've heard.

Hello!

Happy independence day to all the USA peeps out there. Breaking free of the clutches of the evil British empire and all. Escaped so hard you didn't even catch on to real football. But at least you didn't get that other thing, cricket. Ups and downs. Always a tradeoff.

Anyway, we're not here to shittalk cricket. At least it's not racewalking, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, yeah, moving on. Let's racewalk to the next topic, keeping one foot on the ground at all times unless you look closely. Progress on MtP. So I've been making decent progress during the week. Last weekend was a bit of hit and miss to be honest. Stuff came between me and progress. But the weekdays have been good. I've been pumping out animations. Four I believe, and still averaging over ten renders per day.

The next update is crawling closer. We're down to less than a hundred renders and a few animations. Shit can happen, but I'm aiming for a July release for sure. Almost all the remaining renders will feature the girl below.




Not sure what's going on here. Let's do some questions.

ADudeInSomeBasement
What would make you happy?


I'll tell you what would make me happy. Ice cream that is as healthy as broccoli, but still delicious. Why is the best shit always unhealthy for you? I get that sugar is rare-ish in nature and it was advantageous to reward people back in the day for finding high energy foods. But that was then. Evolution and science shoulda sorted this shit out by now.

Wolfram99
What would make you sad?


Meh. Rain and sold out ice cream? Actually I don't mind rain.

Ideal_Integral89
Why does Beth make us happy?


A good question. I don't know why Beth is the by far most popular character. I guess the personality and visuals hits home.

ADudeInSomeBasement
Will the game have a happy end?


Probably. I don't plan to go out with a big bang and everyone dies at least. I have a joke in mind though.

Wolfram99
Will the game have an end?


So... I might just call it act 1 end, without any commitment to ever continue with an act 2. Would that be lame? Because, there's so much more content I could be doing if I didn't feel the growing need for a break from MtP and to do something else.

ADudeInSomeBasement
Are you happy with the development has been going until now?


Sure, and not really. The game has some fans and supporters which is flattering. I wasn't sure, starting out, that anyone would play or like what I do.

At the same time, the game itself turned out a bit tame and meh because I decided to stay within Patreon's guidelines. I will probably (definitely) overcompensate with my next game.

Development is also slower than I like. People who haven't tried usually greatly underestimate how much time Daz3d eats. Hours pass and sometimes you just don't produce much to show for it.


Okay, let's put together some more renders today. Thanks for reading and thank you for your support.

I don't think it'll be lame if you make it an act 1 with the idea you might continue it. Just make sure you don't leave it on a cliffhanger, that would bother a lot of people if it's not a sure thing of a "sequel." Better to leave it slightly open ended for the future but still have a nice sendoff if you don't go back to it imo. I think there is still a lot you could do, but burnout is real, and I and hopeful others won't be upset if you don't return to it if it's not on a cliffhanger. Looking forward to see what you have cooked up in the future.

I'll have you know that 95% of the playerbase absolutely LOVES cliffhangers. I keep getting asked for more cliffhangers.
