[Massagecook01]

other AVN developers and Ocean must be good friends with the time delay and no update for over a year we are already on 1 year and 3 months . and still not a single update and i mean 1 chapter we are not getting 2 or 3 chapters but 1 and he can't even put it out within a year we don't even know when it's coming out it could be december and nobody will say shit but be soooo happpy for it to be out not acknowledgeing it was over a year and several months for 1 chapter. all we get is pictures of renders to hold us down and ignite the fire of excitement of the coming whenever update like yall know when it's coming out soon and soon means a year and so many months. but god forbid yall say anything and hold your precious developer accountable it's like you get some good feeling for throwing your money away but hey it's your money it doesn't mean anything to you so good for you i guess.

Hello,

Newly created and rendered scenes in the past 12 days:
461 images + 6 animations.
190 of them were for SG.

Current render count:

SG: 4790 -> 4980 (+190)

It's fewer renders than before, but that's simply because I'm working on a scene with 45 people in it. Immersion is important, so I do have to pose all visible characters every few renders.

I can render around 30 of these giant scenes a night.

I'm about to finish the rendering process for a different project. Afterward, I'll focus entirely on SG - S2 Chapter 1.

I've built a decently sized SFX and ambient sound/drone library. In my "free time," I'm also working on a simple ambient song.

My designer and I have come up with a fantastic idea for some in-game collectibles.

However, I already have so much to do that they must wait for Chapter 2.

The queue didn't run for two days because I had scenes with 34 visible people, which were too big for the A6000s.

It was the fault of a G9 character that, for some reason, used up 11GB alone. I had to re-open all of them and adjust the settings, but the queue is working again.

I took the 23rd partially off because we had elections in Germany.

Around 10 more days until SG gets 100% render priority.

Preview:
I thought I would just use a random number, and whatever it lands on, I'll show for a preview. 4K attached.
T - Alarm.

I was randomly listening to some older songs the other day, and Mazzy Star's - Fade into You came on, and it gave me the idea for a Treat set down the line.
It is a retro themed set, and because it would heavily rely on editing, I did a little test with Bellchen.

I'll prepare a small retro Treat for the release of Season 2 CH1. It will be released together with the Noji Treat.

Back to work.

I am curious with the preview. Seems like is at Nick's house, I just can not think of a reason as to why one the twins would be naked at his house, it reminds me of the first previews with Zara and Nadia.

I've dealt with them before they love them some Ocean and summer's gone, it does not matter how long a update takes it could be 2 years like some other AVN's have taken to come out with a update. Ocean can do whatever he wants and his fans will make it seem like the best thing since peanut butter and jelly, it really amazes me the level of devotion his fans have it's not like they get a update every 3 months or 6 months but it's a year and so many months in between and we don't get a lot of story progression for the amount of time we wait thats my issue but hey if they are happy then i'm ecstatic for them.

Maybe some funny +18 game? Something like truth or dare or this game i never get the name properly in english: I have never ever? (Something like that, in my language is "Yo nunca"

Dev should take a course in scene rendering optimization because what tf would the reason be to have 34 characters on the screen at the same time in the same render?! And even if it was, I doubt more than 7 would be on focus while the rest can be rendered out of focus in the background or something, probably a club or sport match scene.
Not even AAA game devs fully render models when they are in a large number.
Now I understand why updates take more than a year to be done because the dev has no ability to optimize scenes and renders it seems. GG

I think Ocean is taking the workstation out for a spin to see what the limits are in terms of scenes it can render.

He shared details about one huge scene that I doubt more than a handful out of the thousands of AVN creators have attempted.

This is the first time Ocean has mentioned a scene this size in the 4+ years I've been following him and, from what I've seen of his work - he can optimize his scenes just fine.

He just got a Ferrari of a workstation - OC he is going to see how it handles the track and the curves!

Cheers!!
