Black Friday dev con 4 the gaming snowing world:

Hello all on this rainy Friday. I wish it would snow... anyway...

Rendering, it's in an okay state. Technically, with one scene taking three times as long to render than normal and set building, I'm a day behind render count wise. But script wise I'm around the halfway point and that's where I'm supposed to be at this moment. So that's good.

I'd say about 95% of the background coding tasks are done. The biggest hurdle of the tasks left is the music, but for that I need my headset which ear pads are broken. Meh, I have new pads coming so it's just last the last task I do. So what is left other than renders? About 5 million icons and other little images. They don't take long to do but there are many of them. And some Codex writing, got the page about the gods working... almost like I want. One annoying "visual bug" but nothing major.

And then on the writing front. Writing update 7, as I should nothing shocking there. Update 6 feels a mess, but that's always kind of how things seems to be at start with seemingly two or three separate plot threads running paraller to each other, that with the travelling that I need to sort out within next few updates to make things more accessible.

I think I've mentioned before that at least the first part of the new game has more eastern flare in building style, for most parts. The empire where things starts is a large place and closer to the edges of it styles can vary greatly. Although the chosen style for the first part is a challenge, there are things, but still lot of set building. And repurposing things... "realistic" ´lightning is a challenge, but at times you need to set the realism to side so you can see things. Yes, the fairy's leg is in more natural position in the final render, just haven't applied the fix to this particular image.
PS: Talothral:
Had some snow, but melted. Partially want it because I live up north and it's dark.
Snow would brighten things up a bit even during evenings/nights.
That and I like cold =P

Maybe he wanted a crappy, sucky ending? :unsure:

that'd been quite hard to make since they have been making cearia habitable past 10 or so updates so only chance would been that sentinel would have blown up at some point with or w/o garrett there and on 1st case he would have gone berserk hunting those responsible around galaxy.

There is actually a "bad" ending, but that requires basically fucking up completely on day 13 (the Kraed event)

unless it leads to garrett and friends and rest of cast dying on station then can't be that bad.

Well, technically that happens on day 39. Nadia, Natalie, Sage, Taraia, Aegis, Nova, Chiel and Garrett (along with the Elai, Kraed and rest of strike team) can die then, and assuming when they die the attackers take over the station so it wouldn't be that rosy for those who were left there. So there is that "bad end". But the epilogue bad end is more "bitter sweet" than "OMG OMG WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!" ending.

Right, final verdict time. I played through the whole game front to back, excluding day 39, because walkthrough mod was bugged lmao.

Good game, impressed as usual with the quality of writing, dialogue, and MC being competent and driving the story forward, instead of shit happening around him only. For some reason, and I can't really explain why, I felt like the tension in the first game, and the story because of it, was executed much better. Maybe because the story was more focused on the Ecail threat, instead of having so many lines run in parallel and some of them ending up being dead ends as was the case this time. Dunno.

Didn't care much for the actual sex scenes. No disrespect meant, but I was invested in the story far more than in this aspect of the game.

Overall, 8/10, would totally play again, awaiting great future works.

I kept getting the same bad ending so often I thought it was the real ending. I finally got the real good ending so it's not as bad as I said before. This is much longer and a bit boring in places and there is way to much sex!

that's because cast is big and chiel makes deals behind garrett's back and he needs to be tired so he doesn't blow up spacestation while his sleeping. you are right that game had boring phase.

Ah yes, this. This is... fairly safe one to show. Have to get creative with the sets. Being in a similiar room isn't a problem, just need to decorate them differently. Although at times my creativity is stretched with how little things there are in more "ancient asian" style. Don't worry, we don't spend that much time in these rooms after the first few updates. We will spread our wings relatively soon... with more forests, swamps and other random things... ;) Although, I admit, interesting reflections and light bending from all the glass around.

Progress 13.11.2023

Monday... One of those days.
Three scenes left to render. So I'm more or less where I want to be with it. Writing is going, slowly, but that's not surprising since I still have coding to do. The first releases are funny, especially when one gets ideas while coding things. Anyway. All is good. I got writing buffer, it still goes on positive way. And once the release is done, I can return to a similar routine that I had with TRS2, with the exception that I'm not one update ahead... And that reminds me. There is one scene that is dark, lightning wise. You are meant to barely see the renders. Granted, on my screen it is just what it needs to be, but that being said. I'll do my best to make them visible with the "enhanced visibility" option for those that want to use that.
What to show, what to show...

Also as a side note, there are things in the VN that I haven't done before, there might be times where moving the mouse around the screen might give result, some might even raise few questions... Although, not in that image.

Hey Talothral , since my memory is sketchy at best. Did we ever find out who Garrett's mother was since she was said to be the reason he could be made without his genetic mix not being cohesive?
