Hey guys,
I'm unfortunately going to have to delay the update by a couple days due to the amount of work this last scene still needs. I really didn't want to do this, but I want to deliver a product I'm happy with and it still needs a little bit of extra time to cook. The update will be released this Saturday instead. I'm working my ass off to get it as good as I can possibly make it.

Trust me, it's worth the wait.

PS: Sorry for the blue balls.

That's my secret... I'm always burnt out... but for real, I'm really enjoying this. It's a lot of work and it's taking up every bit of my personal time, but I also underestimated how big this Chapter was going to be. I've had some comments of people being worried I'm spreading things to thin or that I'm putting so much stuff in the game that it'll feel watered down... and well that is a valid concern. My goal with this update was not to increase the amount of scenes, but rather expand the scenes I'm putting in. For example, in chapter 3, we had the gym scene with around 40-45 images, so now I would make a gym scene like 90-100 images. Make every scene feel more pollished and fleshed out. I don't want people to get to a scene and it to be over in a minute, I want you guys to really enjoy the scene as I set it up.
That's good to hear. I'm really looking forward to the update.

AbyssGames planning, planning, planning!
It's your first project so it's ok but without a more professional approach you won't go very far! I mean if your plan is a living from this kind of work...
Write down your characters, write down a skeleton of the whole story (with all important highlights) do some story boarding, cut out the chapters and keep it on rails following the plan.
Before the "real work" (aka writing the script and generating the pictures chapter after chapter) you must know how many images, how many lines, how many time it will take. For each chapters. And you must have an end date for the project.
If you can do that you will have a much longer career than most devs around... :cool:
Any complex project really. If you find yourself spending a lot of time reiterating and needing to go back then you would probably save time by pausing the work and optimizing the planning.

That's true. I do try to plan out as much as possible before I start working on a chapter, but I find it very difficult to determine how long or lengthy a chapter should be. I don't want to put a limit on my creativity by saying: This chapter should have 200 or 300 images. It all depends on the scene and what I find important that is portrayed to the user.
Either way, as development goes on, I learn newer and newer things. I hope to get my hands on a 5090 in the near future (Keep dreaming) to also speed up the image generation part as now I can't even have photoshop open together with Stable Diffusion... which limits to what I can do from a multi-tasking perspective.

Either way, this update is my best work so far and I really stepped up I feel like and I hope it'll show.

Is it out? Could someone bless us?
The last post on Patreon is a preview, so I am guessing it's not out yet.

I am looking forward to a solid release by AbyssGames, then a bunch of whining about milking and 'not worth the time' posts right after.

It's been 52 days since last release? and this chapter is bigger than chapter 1+2+3 combined. I hope that's not considered milking
