Pregnancy is a nice tag wink winkSorry forgot to answer about planned tags. I honestly am not sure yet aside from the obvious one (animations). But definitely vaginal sex, probably some butt play too. Lesbian, orgy or 3 some (not sure how to tag that). I'm watching the thread so if you guys mention some, I may implement.
Glad your development is coming along well and it seems like the new release might be upon the players soon enough which gives a perfect opportunity to replay the favorite content all over again, which probably is the full game itself lol. But yea definitely do take ample relaxation duration in between as you have posted above about your work log so that is certainly strenuous and would demand energies, so better to attend that while being energised and even if it pushes back the release a bit, would be perfectly fine considering its essential for the self-care of the body. Take care there!View attachment 3401785

Hello again everyone and Happy Friday
Alright, let's get right to business... I am nearly done with scene 11 and will begin scene 12 probably by tomorrow night. I HOPE to finish scene 12 by Sunday night and on to scene 13 by Monday. Beyond that will be just 4 scenes to go, getting these renders completed. This takes so damn long because I render a LOT of images. My image-per-line ratio is like a 2 average, with a lot of '1 image for 1 line' also. Meaning, each line of dialog has a new image. Do the math, it ends up being a lot of rendering. We'll have between 1400 and 1500 images in this episode alone. You can look forward to about the same number of images for episode 4 of Last Human also.
The attached images for this devlog are of Kat. She's made herself over for a special date with MC. Two weeks ago, I posted a Patron-only devlog giving this preview (Serenity C2 Episode 3 (Devlog 14) - Patrons). I'm releasing those here now for everyone. Aside from the hairstyle which may be temporary, I did make a few minor changes to Kat. They were just little things that bugged the hell out of me, and I felt needed some tweaking. You may not even notice these changes as easily as I do. But you might notice that the color of her eyes is a bit brighter now. I love heterochromia and realize the colors in her eyes was just a bit too dull. So, I lifted the saturation a bit and also gave them a tiny glow. And another thing that was bugging me was her mouth shape for certain facial expressions. When she smiled it just didn't look right to me. I adjust that a bit until I think it's better now. For fans of her classic "Tifa" hairstyle, that will be back. But from here on out, you can expect to see Kat in different hairstyles from time to time. I really hope you guys like her new look!
Now, let's talk about the release for this episode. Last month in one of my devlogs, I think I mentioned that I planned to have this ready by mid-March. Right now, looking at what I have left to do, I feel like that might actually be possible. But I make no promises. I am shooting for the week of March 18th. It all depends on if my full-time job decides to screw me. I never know how that is going to go and how often I will have to work late dealing with some crazy network issue or putting out other fires. So, all I can say is... thank you for being patient thus far... I hope you continue to be patient with me. If you guys saw how a typical day goes for me, you'd all think I was absolutely nuts. Seriously. One positive I can say towards that predicted release time is that all our computer upgrades are finally DONE... and support stuff is starting to slow down slightly and is trending that way considerably! Keep your fingers crossed for me that it keeps going like that!
Now I need to get back to work. It's the weekend (prime development time for me) and I don't want to waste a moment of it. If I don't answer you in Discord or on my other sites, trust me - I will eventually. I'm just busy. I love you all, ...Fire
You put so much work into your games N2, I guess that's why they're great, have you ever thought about hiring or getting help to deal with that many renders??View attachment 3401785

Honestly, I don't really make enough to hire someone or to have a 'team'. However, I do still occasionally commission Cryoxxx to do some animations for me. I do most of my own animations, but sometimes I ask him to do a scene for me so that I can press on doing renders. More about that in this week's devlog I'll be posting later todayYou put so much work into your games N2, I guess that's why they're great, have you ever thought about hiring or getting help to deal with that many renders??
I'm working on 2 games. Each update takes between 4 and 6 months to complete. I don't have a team helping me. I have a full time job and family responsibilities. So, it is pretty much impossible for it to go any faster than that. Especially if you want plenty of content in each update, and better quality to go along with that. If you enjoy my work enough, then hopefully you won't mind the wait. I'm doing my best on it.So it's basically going to be a year per update going forward now![]()
Do you have any idea of how many episodes will Chapter 2 have? And if it's going to be the end chapter of Serenity (At least for now) so you can focus on last human?I'm working on 2 games.

Now this is a good question to ask. It's no secret that I am looking to end Serenity (for now) but when you consider the development time I mentioned above, obviously it still won't happen soon. With that said, we have 3 episodes now, and I think I will need about 4 more to complete it with the finale episode being about the size of 2 episodes. MAYBE 5 more if I choose to do something I was considering.Do you have any idea of how many episodes will Chapter 2 have?

Cause LH sure looks like a greater project... in potential, possibilities, lore etc
I've always loved this, far more than LH, but it was your choice to start a second VN a couple years after this. Your choice to split the dev time. I'm not wanting to offend you there, just stating the facts as they are. This is suffering ridiculous update times because you chose to do something else.I'm working on 2 games.

Man, I must have read your post like 10 times, debating on replying because it comes off as "it's your fault you're in this mess". A knee-jerk reaction would be to reply back pissed off but I am not built that way, and I try to avoid too much confrontation in here (or anywhere for that matter). I've been overly open and honest from the start about all of my bad decisions. And a post like yours seems to indicate I should sit here and pain myself over whether I chose to turn left rather than go straight or turn right. It sounds like you think I didn't know that it is my fault I am in this situation. Believe me, my friend... I am well aware. But I don't pain myself over the bad choices because that is how we learn. It's done and I am moving forward the best way I can.I've always loved this, far more than LH, but it was your choice to start a second VN a couple years after this.

That is entirely on you.
Of course, I also understand that is your right to do so.
