What's good, y'all. Currently in the process of re-rendering a whole bunch of images because I've found a fix to a problem I used to have to do manually in post. Not interesting stuff, but it's menial background work that'll last a few days, SO ... I wanted to do something hopefully a little bit fun here.

About 6 months ago, I did a little thing where I said if you give me a character's name, I'll give you a preview render with that character. You guys seemed to enjoy that, and I did too. So I figured why not do it again, now that we're six months further into development and I've got a lot more renders to pick from. That being said, some characters may have barely featured in that time, but I going to hesitantly assume I'll be able to find something you've not seen yet no matter what character you pick (... even if they're just featured in the background somewhere).

Also, if you want to do almost a dice roll like we did last time, pick any number up to about 2500 (between 800 and that if you just want a roll at stuff I've done since the last time I did this) and you'll get to see whatever render corresponds to that number. Like I said last time, what're the chances it's a big spoiler? Maybe we'll find out.

1976 please.

Hey guys, if we get enough people we can see the entire update! Minus the text, so we have no idea what the hell they are saying. :ROFLMAO:

There's still a few scenes left unhit. This is one of the more intriguing, possibly, images so far though, as far as you being able to infer context. An actual establishing shot, not one mid conversation!

Arguably the most popular girl so far. Which is interesting ...

Damn it! Why didn't I pick 998 or 1000?! As that was probably a Mia ass render as I know cicadaNGB loves showing off her glorious ass every chance he gets. :ROFLMAO:

Hey! That's ... yeah, no, okay, that is pretty accurate.
But on this bit of the scene, this is about as close as you'll see.

But maybe you'll get the chance to see more elsewhere in the chapter, who knows?

dev log cross post


Hello!

As you maybe can tell from the title of this dev log, this is the second-to-last dev log I'll be releasing for ch3. The next dev log (still at the end of next month, most likely) will be confirming the release date for ch3. I had previously guessed that I'd be done with the chapter 'some time in July' and I still think this is true, but the rendering itself might push closer to the end of the month than I'd hoped. So there's a possibility that the release date will fall into August, as I'm giving myself a week window once renders are done to thoroughly test the build, as there's a hell of a lot of branching, both big and small things, that I want to make sure is all working correctly. So, the simple version of things is the next dev log will announce a release date, which will be 1 week after that dev log.

I have recounted what I have left to do, in an attempt to get a more accurate estimate for the remaining work. I have 3 scenes and 2 transitional scenes left to do. These two transitional scenes will be about 40 renders total. The other three scenes I've estimated to be 420 renders total. Two of these scenes will be very quick to work through: for example, the longest one by render count (my guess is that it'll be around, probably over, 200) is a simple conversation so there's not a lot of posing changes between shot. The other scene will take more effort setting up each render, but I'm aiming to get it done in a week.

I hope that if you're reading this you're looking forward to the release of ch3. As I've mentioned before, there's a few things that'll be happening alongside the announcement of the ch3 release date that I've had planned for a while, but regardless of that I really hope you'll enjoy the chapter. I think things are only getting better, and I hope that's an accurate feeling.

See you soon

Oh, you've seen nothing yet. I'm quite excited about the future plans. All in good time, though.
