Loved Chapter 4 - You have really improved the technical side since Chapter 1.

Would you mind sharing any big changes you've made to your technical workflow between then and now, in regards to scene composition, AI gen, sprites etc. ? Just curious about what changes you made behind the scenes that worked out improving your game

Oh man… I could talk about this for hours, haha!

On image creation:
This is area has changed a LOT, and honestly still changes all the time. Overnight I might discover or a new tech might launch that completely changes my workflow and the quality of the renders

When I first started generating MTD's images, my workflow looked like this:

Now it looks more like this:

Most of the time, I start with txt2img until I get a decent result. If I need something really specific, I either cut things out in Photoshop and run them through img2img, or sometimes use depth from an existing image (though that's rare)

After that comes Photoshop and inpainting until I reach the result I want, then I upscale. It sounds simple when written down, but the process is usually very time-consuming

But one thing that hasn't changed much is how I see sprites and scenes. For me, the game's structure works like this:

BG + sprites: calm moments focused on dialogue and storytelling. These are not meant to be very impactful visually (even though many sprites and backgrounds look really good)

Illustrations (renders/scenes): impactful moments with strong visual appeal. The full focus here is on creating the best possible image, something that really catches the player's eye
I try not to move too far away from this format, even though sometimes I feel tempted

Thank you so much, brother! I know most of the people don't comment much, but they're always excited to see more of the game and are supporting its success

I'm working as hard as I can to deliver the next update as soon as possible, and I must say Ana is more beautiful than ever!

Unfortunately, Chapter 05 is still going to take quite a while to be released, but update 4.5 is close (the update where I'll be remaking the images from the first chapters, some scenes, and fixing several things in the game's code)

Is 4.5 a rework of the art style? If so are there going to be some adjusted scenes? I’d like to see more exhibitionism from strangers looking at her. An example is after they have sex at the end of chapter 2, where she’s sleeping naked on her stomach with her bare ass out. You could have some of the guys accidentally walk in and catch an eyeful, while the mc is confused on whether he’s angry or aroused. Another is the dinner scene when she walks by the two guys, and bends over, you could provide a different angle to better show off her bubble butt from behind, while also showing the two guys watching. Maybe have her sway it back and forth while “picking up her purse”.

Version 4.5 isn't a rework of the art style, but rather a rework of the art itself

To put it simply, the first artworks in the game are amateur. Throughout the early chapters, I improved my technique a lot, and the tools I use also evolved, so the newer artworks look very, very different from the old ones

On top of that, the transitions, sounds, and code from the first chapters are also quite amateur, and I'll be improving those in this update

In the end, I'd call this update a tech update + chapter 01 and 02 mini rework

But regarding the scenes themselves (what happens), I won't be changing them. I'd love to redo everything, but adding extra events would affect the story, which is something I don't want to do. At most, I'll add a few extra images that weren't in the original version, but no new story actions
