I think the Rival value is going to be more about down-the-line, whether or not he stabs you in the back. There are multiple times it appears. He looks like the kind of guy who'll betray a friend if you don't play your cards right.

That said - if he wants Elspeth, and she's interested in him, I'm totally going to support it. If he's not gay, of course. I'm still not to sure about that. Nothing has popped up to convince me he's really into women yet.
Yeah, probably. But it was interesting seeing this stat pop up at the conversion about Elspeth.

Purely visually, McNab does seem kind of odd, though. Always with that conniving look...

Hey folks.

Just a quick little check in letting you know I'm still functioning. I'll be returning home this weekend so I can finally get back to some real work. I've been getting antsy in all honesty so I'm as excited about that as you are.

Script is officially proofed and finalised.

My last scenes are just far too large for even the new laptop to pose, so until I'm home nothing much to be done there.

Currently caught up on coding with what I have done as well. So it's all just waiting for me to get home now and finish up.

For my blue belts I'll have your post put up on Monday this week when I'm back and settled. So a little late, but I do owe you guys and I'll make sure you're payed what you're owed.

Thanks again for all your patience while I was on my trip. I really do appreciate how supportive you guys have been. I think this update will be well worth the wait though.

Hope you all have a lovely rest of your week, and thank you so much for your support.

Sláinte!

Hey guys!

Back home and back in the saddle! I'll give you one more thank you for your patience while I was away, but now it's time for heavy work.

As mentioned last week the script is finalised. I promise I will absolutely not add another scene last minute. I swear... Please believe me.

About 1,820 renders posed, yes the number did drop a bit, one of the scenes I had worked with had a fairly major error that need to be fixed so the scene has to be redone. I only have three more scenes left to pose but they're the largest ones so pose time will go accordingly. About 1489 of the renders completely rendered and postworked.

Animations are at about 35 of 41. Haven't hit those yet since my return.

Coding is at about 60%, So on the majority side of finished.

Now that I'm back and able to take inventory on where I'm at I feel pretty confident in saying that I won't be able to squeak the update out by the end of the month. I was hoping so, but I know my limits, as well as the limits of my hardware, and I can only serve to hurt myself by giving a date I can't reach. I would expect it sometime next month.

For my blue belts and above I decided to give you a little special treat. Since you were so patient with me whilst I was gone I'm going to be doing something a little different for you. I'll be doing a private art livestream for you guys where you can actually watch me work on a scene from the upcoming update. You'll get to see a little of my workflow, as well as an opportunity to see something of the upcoming update early. For those unable to join us live in the discord I'll make sure to get it recorded and upload it for you later, so you won't miss a thing. I don't have an exact date, but probably this weekend I'll put a warning post up the night before so people have ample preparation.

It's good to be back, now let's finish this up and get it into your hands ASAP

Hope you all have a lovely rest of your week, and thank you so much for your support.

Sláinte!

Hard to get too much data here, but we might as well do what we can. We completed 89 renders and 0 animations over the last three weeks, an average of ~30 renders and 0 animations per week; not too bad for a vacation. Overall, the average is now ~87 renders and 2 animations per week since Part 3 launched. Words appear to be unchanged. In chart form, that looks like this:

Sounds like we're closing in on release, but are still at least a few weeks out. We should have a slightly better idea next week once we're back to a normal pace.

I got around to tying this out and I have to say I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. I am confused about how you are "meant" to approach the relationships in this one though. I really like how you have many options to turn down and accept there offers but at the same time it almost feels like you are supposed to play the field. I really like doing solo routes in these but they are all so likeable that I am having a hard time of it.

Another thing I like is how most of the renders are just sexy shot of the LIs to avoid what I call "unearned lewds". That is until the end where he decided to spoil that with Kana. That was unfortunate to say the least but lucky for me I was still looking at the text so I only saw it through my peripheral vision. I know how odd it sounds but it's just how my brain works. Also the renders seem hit or miss a lot of the times. They look fine but the expressions and body language often don't match the dialogues at all. Other than that I'm holding my breath for the next update.

if its gonna be anything like their previous game then you can pursuit pretty much every girl without missing most of the events (you most likely still miss some) and there is gonna be a major choice closer to the end of the game where you'll have to choose lets call it "main" Li and see the ending, but its kinda too early for now to think about it i think

Sneak Peek 06/20/2022

Hey guys!

Hope this finds you well. Here's one of the renders we worked on yesterday. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I also snuck another one that you might have missed on discord in there.

Art stream went decently enough, I think once this update is finished I'll be adding it into more of a rotation, just to give folks something a little different. The VOD will be up probably next Sunday, need to do a little editing and fat trimming to get you guys a more smooth experience with a little less loading times.

Hope you're all well and thanks as always for the support. Have a lovely week.

Sláinte!

Let's get ready to read updates!!!!!!

Pretty easy

Script finished official word tally is about 31,000 and change.

About 2,017 renders posed, I most likely will finish up poses this weekend, then it's just down to finishing the actual backlog of renders. I have1573 of the renders completely rendered and postworked. That leaves around 500ish to finish actually rendering. That's gonna take a majority of my time. ATM the current scene I'm rendering takes about 45 minutes per render. You extrapolate that and you see why time is ticking away.

Animations are at 40 of 41. Just one last one to pose and render and those should be complete. Thank God.

Coding is at about 75%. Finished with every current render I have and just slowly adding them in as I finish.

Based on my current average render time, I'm still pretty confident that next month somewhere will be the sweet spot. Of course things can go bad, or good in fairness so we'll see exactly where. But the window is shrinking up so I'm feeling decently good.

That's it for today, going to go crush some more poses now.

Hope you all have a lovely rest of your week, and thank you so much for your support.

Sláinte!
