Summer's Gone - Season 2 - Chapter 1 - Dev Log #27
Hello,
New renders created over the past 12 days: 331 (117 for SG)
New SG animations: 2
Current still render count: 5097
Still on the lower side of the renders due to the big scene and finishing touches of the other, about-to-be-finished project.
I've taken yesterday to test the timings for different animations. I have a big whiteboard here and it's now full of animation timings and a few drawings of tiddies.
At first I tested how many frames it really needs to have a good boob jiggle, then I did the same with the ass, hair, thighs, nipple piercings, and ear-rings.
The boob tests gave me a good base to work with. With hair I'm kinda familiar as OG SG players will know.
Anyways, I can probably do 2-3 lewd animations a day now. They take significantly longer to set up, but the detail speaks for itself.
Said knowledge will come in handy as soon as SG needs it.
Extras
With the new Chapter I will introduce collectibles and new viewpoints.
I still have to code it in, create a gallery for it, and render 47 collectible renders. (CH1 to CH4)
It would be weird if the first three Chapters didn't have any to collect, so I'll add them there too.
Collectibles
Collectibles are extra images that you can unlock.
With Season 2 Chapter 2 I'll introduce another sort of collectible. It's awesome but requires a sophisticated design and we're still working on that.
Different viewpoints.
Sometimes the leaf won't unlock a render and instead it shows you a different point of view... and sometimes even behind closed curtains...
As soon as the update is live, I'd love some feedback on those two thingies.
Other stuff:
I've picked up a Python course again. While I never plan to become a first class coder, I'd like to have a base understanding of what's going on.
What led me to do it is that Blender is also based on Python, and while I never planned to create my own addons/scripts, it might be a way to cut down mundane work in the future.
Even something as "simple" as a random-dresser for background characters would go a long way.
I'm enjoying the course, and whatever I learn, I immediately try out in Ren'Py itself. It gave me a few neat ideas. (Hour-long freeroams... just kidding.)
Preview
Today's preview is something I'd normally never show... However, it's not really that big of a secret.
The next three Dev logs will all feature a render(s) that is on the nsfw level of this one.
With the S2 CH1, you'll also be introduced to optional fetish routes that you and girl X can develop over time.
Exhibitionism, for example.
I have a neat idea to display this as some sort of a skill tree... I'll preview this in the future to get some feedback on it.
As soon as I'm done with the other project, it will be put on pause until this behemoth SG update is out.
Back to work.
(I think you can download the 4K version this way)
