Not holding my breath, but this is important

It's funny to think that by mid- to late January, I will have around ~5000 SG renders, which is about double Chapter 5. I would've already done two regular-sized updates in six months.

If he can make his future chapter 2500 render big, we can have 3-4 update a year after chapter 1 is out

Sure sure.

Wishful thinking.

Devs... they always claim they got better hardware, but their updates never come out faster.

I've never seen it happen. Never.

edit: reason why: better hardware ---> they start improving CGs, adding frills and ornaments ---> updates start coming out slower, too

Looks to me like Zara's not really that phased about NIka's vengeance, it seems she likes that. So we've got her in the jacuzzi getting fresh with NIka, with some large black thing in her hand, now this? She's going for the win in my opinion.

Although Sonya's coming up along the outside with that quiet confidence. I guess we'll get some sauciness even if Nika's downstairs needs a spring cleaning.

You're talking about Melanie Ceril?
It's her vengeance as much as his

Well, Ocean has never been famous for precise estimates of deadlines and numbers, so I would temper my enthusiasm a bit.
But yeah, on October 17 he wrote that ~2000 renders were ready, now it's 3750.
So, now he makes ~900 renders per month for SG only.

Well, there's nothing saying that's what's being spoken about with Zara, Nika could be extracting concessions over Zara's behaviour.

Nika has NO vengeance against Ceril, what has she done to him? Zara does, so that can make sense. But then the second render is her in the same top, so their planning got waylaid by more fun things in that case.

Is the Devlog tomorrow or next week?

Hello,

I confused something, and said in the last Dev Log that the next log would be released on Christmas Eve.
And I still thought the next log had to be released on the 24th. Yesterday, however, I felt an itch to write a log and checked the date of my latest log… And yeah… I have no idea why I said Christmas Eve.

Anyway, let’s get into it.

Workstation news.
Currently I’m still bottlenecked by my PC, it’s unable to render all the images created during the day.
I got the wonderful 2022 tax invoice, cried myself to sleep, and then paid it.
This means I can now finally plan for the Workstation. As it looks right now, I will order it in January.
Currently, my PC can render ~20 to 50 images a night, depending on the number of characters in the scene.
When the new Workstation arrives, the amount effectively triples. Then, the PC I’m currently using can continue rendering during the day while I set up new scenes on the Workstation.
One PC can theoretically render 24/7.
I might need to install a NAS system if I add a third PC for animations when the 50xx cards come out.

I’m still working on the Robin Treat. However, I ran into an issue with Photoshop. For some reason, the render totally distorted inside the software. It must have something to do with the color space.
But I couldn’t find a solution, so I had to rebuild the entire scene from scratch, and now it works. There was also an environmental light in the scene that absorbed light around it as if it had a negative value. It was like a black hole.

Season 2 – Chapter 1
The current still image count is around 3750.
Besides that, I can say nothing without sounding like a broken record. Work has been fantastic in the past couple of months.
However, I paused my work on Blender and Marvelous Designer (Clothes creation) until all current updates were released.
It's funny to think that by mid- to late January, I will have around ~5000 SG renders, which is about double Chapter 5. I would've already done two regular-sized updates in six months.
I wonder how many years of life I've lost in the past 6 months... Just kidding, I feel great.

The coder is also working. We've established a GitHub repository to sync all the needed designs.
Messe, my UI designer, recently created this for a future Chapter. (More will be previewed in Chapter 2.)

Dates and other info might be subject to change.

Previews:
I mentioned on Discord that I'd be showing some previews I'd typically not show.
I considered showing a particular scene but decided against it when I started this Dev Log. Since I went this long without showing it, I'll keep it a secret until the update drops.
Two of the five renders I show today are what I wouldn't usually show. They are still far from the update's heavy hitters, which number in the hundreds.

I know I showed transparent Sonya before, but here it is even more visible but still obscured enough to be able to preview. (And I love Sonya, so I find excuses to show her.)

I said I would preview that cute Bellchen render, but I decided against it and instead went with the Nadia-pillow.
I might show one or two heavy hitters with the release announcement.

I'll see you in two weeks. (Maybe less because of the Robin treat).

The Serpent Club has to be some sort of brothel run by Leia, right? So, the Zanes still are involved in criminal activities, and it seems that Nika will get caught up in this.

I wish that I had this faith.

While this is certainly true, I don't see how much more Ocean can improve his renders. Looking at the previews they already are top noch. I think that he will plato from now on, there is not more to add.

Seems like Zara is not pulling any punches, going all in, and this update will be massive we will start to developmenting others plot lines like the Melanie one.
I always liked Sonya. She just need a little time to shine.

There is the Nadia body Pillow...

And then there is...

Using Nadia's body as a pillow.

I know which one I prefer.

Nadia's ability to focus on what is important - keeping that banana safe - is Commendable!



Later...

Nancy "Hey Nadia - Why do you have brick marks on your back"

Nadia "I had to save my banana and... I took one for the team."

I'm looking forward to the rest of the scene!

Cheers!!

 

[Von Halen]

It looks like Nadia is trying to stop them, but Nika is preventing her from doing so

I dont wanna be an ass but i burst out laughing at how much Ocean hyped up what he was about to show that i genuinely expected to see a character holding the protagonist dick in her hand or something like that but all it was is someone sitting in his lap and a see through shirt we have seen before. I dunno i think the game itself screwed even the devs perspective of what sex is that now he thinks "risky" stuff is showing someone with slightly visible nipples, when everyone is waiting for Bellchan to do anal for like 5 years now.

Still dont wanna sound ungrateful, the previews look nice but its just more of the same stuff we have seen, nothing really too interesting apart from the last scene which is funny.

 

[Adhdclassic]

Just saw Zara renders I am a big Mila Vic sex fan. Big T and A fan. But saw Zara and I am thinking of sliding her way. Sitting on Nika with her shirt up. Was like damn girl.

 

[Ottoeight]

While this is certainly true, I don't see how much more Ocean can improve his renders. Looking at the previews they already are top noch. I think that he will plato from now on, there is not more to add.

Don't worry, he will find a way.

I "like" how he always says something about "I wanted to show this or that, but decided not to spoil the scene in the last moment" Jeez, I think a little spoiler preview will do this game good at this point.
