Sorry for the Log being a day late, but I really wanted to show some specific Bellchen previews and had to wait for the queue to finish.

Regarding the person I was learning Blender with (My friend's real-life GF), that's off the table.

For the eighth time in almost a year, she asked me, "How long it's probably going to take?" I told her for the eighth time that quality is priority number 1 and that it might take her years to learn how to model exceptional environments and assets; I had a serious talk with her about whether that's really what she wants to do.

It's a sacrifice.

After a few days, she said the time investment would not be worth it, and we parted ways.

That's what I meant when I said she doesn't share the same passion. She was primarily concerned about potential earnings, not the craft behind it.

And with that mindset, you'll never reach exceptional quality.

It doesn't change anything. Learning specific parts of Blender together was mostly just an interesting idea, but it was never really needed. It started as a favor as she fled Russia and didn't know what to do now. (She had a background in game design.) but it felt like I was talking to a wall.

There are tons of Blender modeling guys out there, and when the time comes, the quality will reach new levels.

Even tho this reads as bad news, it's not. It's great. I hated managing her and trying to get her to do stuff. (Ffs girl, finish the damn course I bought you before you complain about how much time you supposedly invest.)

So I'm happy that this is history.

More great news.
Late Kids will renew the licenses for Season 2. They will also send me some new, unreleased tracks to listen to, and if I like a song, I'll license it, too.

They also mentioned and thanked you guys for all the great comments you left under their music. I checked the comments afterward, and they were really sweet. Thanks guys! <3

More languages for Season 1:
Soon, S1 will get a German & Spanish translation.

Afterward, a French, Russian, and Portuguese translation will follow.

Season 2
I finally finished the still images for the Cheetos intro scene. There are only a few animations left.

I guess I'm closing in on the 50% mark. Keep in mind that the development only really started in late May.

Before that, 99% of the resources were focused on the 2.2k new renders for Season 1 - Chapter 2.

Now I'm back to the college scenes. I always need to take a breather after creating them, as they are by far the most challenging scenes to do.

There are so many people at all times, but at least I get to work with many different main girls.

Previews (4K attached.)
There haven't been any real Bellchen previews, except the one with her little tongue out.

So... Today we've got some Bellchen.

Checking for any signs of life.

Me and my tax office just finished the taxes for 2022, which were delayed due to my old, shitty tax office.

I was surprised by the invoice they sent me, but hey, at least I can deduct it as a business expense, right? (Hide the pain.)

What I want to say is that I'm almost done with all the bureaucracy and chaos caused by my old tax office, and this will free up a lot of my mind and time.

This means there will be some new treats soon. I will also continue the "Who wore it better" Treats.

SG has never had one before, but it's two girls wearing the same outfit, and you can vote on who wore it better.

The winner gets a few extra images with the outfit.

I'll do one for the next Dev Log.

I'll see you in two weeks.

Haha not gonna lie, ocean sounds like a kinda shitty employer :ROFLMAO: and he should keep all this stuff out of the devlogs

How can he expect her to be as passionate as he is himself when its about his avn? And beware, she intends to earn money with her time investment :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Fits the crazy blessed artist stereotype

It started as a favor as she fled Russia

Typical:
Ocean was looking for an excellent specialist for little-to-no money.
A girl from Russia was looking for a high salary for little-to-no work.
I wonder why it didn't work :LOL:
