You could just start on this one, you've not missed much

Totally agree

Amazing. A game with two chapters already has almost 500 pages of discussion. The developer could make extra money by making a shorter game with five chapters. Sometimes the best games are short.

"Extra" money? This game/dev isn't monetised in the first place - it's all for free. Also, I don't know whether the number was a deliberate pick for you, but it is set to be five chapters in total.

Totally agree

The medium is the message. Always has been.

Project update

Not abandoned. Just needed a break.

Where have I been?
After pushing to release Chapter 2 and then having a lot of negative comments and review bombs I had to step away for a while. I knew people would leave the story over time, I just didn't think they'd make as much noise as they did when they left. However, based on the number of forum pages, I see there is still an active/loyal fan base and I appreciate you guys. But I can't bring myself to look at the reviews or go back and read all of the earlier posts for the sake of my own sanity. I still view this thread as belonging to you guys and I'm just a visitor but I'll participate a bit more and respond to questions and DM's when I can (No I won't tell you when the update is coming out. No I won't give away the plot.)

What have I been doing?
Mostly just working my house, lots of little projects I've neglected lately. I've also been do some writing on another story. It won't ever been rendered or made public but I like the creative process of building out the characters, plotting the story line and world building. I like taking some of those ideas and building test scenes in Daz to get a feel if my vision is possible. That's why a lot of MHB was rendered out of sequence. An idea gets me excited and I flesh out a test scene and next thing I know I'm rendering an entire scene.

What's the status of MHB?
The last couple weeks I've gotten back into the story. I've been going over the outline/script and starting to refine it more and finalizing the dialog. A subtle change in Chapter 1 or 2 can propagate through the story so I'm having to reconcile some things in Ch3 while still moving toward a known finale. I've also been working on doing the setup work for the next few scenes in Daz. Each scene needs the location, environment, characters, wardrobe, and accessories figured out plus a rough setting of cameras and lighting before any final posing and rendering can happen. I kind of like that process but I can easily spend an entire day just doing the setup of one scene. But I'm planning and starting to render this week.

Chapter 3 and beyond
Yes, a good chunk was already rendered but there is still a lot to do. Yes, this still deals a lot more with Hutch and I'm looking forward to tackling a complicated character, trying to convey the emotions welling within him. There are still some sexy scenes but fewer, making it much easier to render (sex scenes are fundamental to the story but they are not fun to make). It's hard to predict the amount of content that'll actually end up in the chapter but I'm guessing Chapter 3 will be about the same size as Chapter 2. I predict 4 will be a little smaller and 5 will be the shortest concentrating on just the finale. I originally had numerous gratuitous scenes that I'm cutting out so I can focus on the meat of the story. I think it makes the main story better and I think it's what the real fans want. Plus it simply cuts down on production time. I'm not trimming anything that drives the story, just the extra fluff.

So there you have it. Thanks for your patience and thanks for the well wishes some of you sent my way. Now it's time to get back to work.

This is my attempt at a poll:

Vivian has an important business meeting with Christian and can't decide what to wear. 'Like' this post (and this post only) if you think she should wear this outfit:



'Like' the post below if you think she should wear the other outfit. Most likes wins.
(look at the next post below for the second outfit)

 

[SC Stories]

This is the 2nd half of the poll:

'Like' this post (and this post only) if you think she should wear this outfit instead:



Only 'like' one of these two posts. Most likes wins and that outfit will be used. Thanks for playing.

I love the sexiness of the first dress but I don´t know about the fishnet stockings, but that´s just my opinion. It mostly stands on you and community. Please, keep the good work, loved 2 chapter.

 

[packard1928]

I vote first dress... Great to here from you again ! As always... wouldn't be me if I didn't ask you for a sexy pic of Vivian !

First of all SC Stories , it's really great to hear that you're well and, of course, that the project is continuing.

I'm still a bit torn right now. Because with a story like that in a forum like that, it should have been obvious that you'd be bashed, in my opinion. Which by no means means that you deserve it. Quite the opposite: MHB is top-tier storytelling. Rendering and animations are also right up there with the best.

But I have the feeling you're letting yourself be led astray now, and I don't want to give too much away, but the last 100 pages are filled with nonsense and stupidity. What we liked was YOUR story, YOUR ideas, and YOUR Implementation. So why change anything about it?

Anyway, I hope you don't see this as negativity. Because you're excellent at what you do. I just hope your product is exactly what you had in mind in the end, and not what these freaks here think it should be. (Sorry, I don't mean all of you xD)

To add to that, the fact that so many got emotionally invested in the story is a testament of the storytelling ability of the creator. I wouldn't let the "bashing" affect SCStories in any way that's detrimental personally.

Amen and amen. Perhaps you didn't know how things go in these forums, but now you do. Simply ignore us. We love your story but apparently some don't know how to show it. But do keep us in the loop. Thanks.

Great to hear that you are well. Chapter 2 occupied me so much that I sat down and wrote a possible sequel. It contains 5558 words and if you are interested in contact me via jon_hoesm@gmail.com. Alternatively, I could post it here as fanfic. In this reply, I add the first lines of the fan sequel (Immediately after Vivian rather rudely dropped Hutch off at home.):

"So, here is home. (Hutch is looking at his wedding band.) My wife is out … with my boss … the two stuck together tonight at his home. I can only imaging how’s that going. I really don’t want to go home yet. I’ll just stare on the walls and get crazy.

Hutch turns to his car, gets in and drives off. Some time later, Hutch is sitting in a bar. Lost in thought, he stares at his beer on the bar, holding the bottle with both hands. It's as if he's clinging to it, the rest around him is blurry. Hutch can't tell if he's been sitting at the bar for a minute or half an hour when..."

I'm so happy to hear from you and see that the adventure continues!

I think the original active core is still eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the story!

As is often the case in life, the minority is often the loudest!

For some time now, people who have been active since the beginning have stepped aside, not because they don't appreciate the game, but more because of the way the forum has become stuck in a rut.

Now that you've given us some news, it's going to give us a boost!

Give us a few tidbits to nibble on and it will all start up again!

Wow! I didn't know. It was a random number.
