Hello there,

It's Friday. Again. Time flies by...
Anyway, Dev log time.
As I said last week, I started working on the next scene which was supposed to be a medium-length scene and I was supposed to be finished by now.
Medium scenes for me are around 50-70 renders. Depends a bit on the complexity of the renders and how much text there is, but it's usually around that number.
The "medium-length" scene is now at 101 renders. With around 20-30 to go.
Sooo... yeah got a "bit" longer.
The reason is, I came up with a few ideas that I wanted to include while I was writing the scene.

One of the "ideas" is the following character. I planned to introduce her later (and I hadn't created her yet) but I came up with the idea to introduce her with this scene.
Of course, that meant I had to create her. That took a while like most of my characters. At least the more important ones. And the females... I wonder why...

Well, there you go... meet Sayo

That all being said, the progress this week was pretty good. Although I still need to pose and render a few more renders, the scene is written and coded, so it's done on that end.
Those that got their calculators already know, for the rest: 101 - 25 renders (from last week) = 76 renders were done this week.
The script file is at 3529 lines right now.

I'll finish the work on this scene next week (for real!) and start with the 2nd medium-length (haha!) scene. A progress update on that is scheduled for next Friday.
After that I'm on vacation for 1 week, so no Dev Update on May 12th.

In general, we're getting closer to the release of Chapter 3. For that I need to finish the scene I'm working on right now, the next medium-length scene, one long scene, and the chapter finale.



That choice is pretty much exactly what it says. "Yes" if you're sure you want to stay on her path, "No" if you're sure you don't want to, and "I don't know" to keep all options available.


Have a nice weekend.
Cheers,
Ceolag

What do you think about groups? (Mc+Main and Side LI)
Will some kind of open relationship type consisting of groups of 3 people be in the game?
I don't want to cheat on someone I'm in a relationship with.

It would be nice to see LIs competing with each other for Mc's attention.

Sorry to come back with the bad news: No new main LIs.
The branching will become either crazy or (and) meaningless. And future updates will feel even shorter if you don't play all paths.

All additions (now or future ones) will be side girls at best.
However, how much content there will be for a specific side girl... that's a different thing.
It also depends on "popularity" (I'll probably do some polls in the future for that). No point in creating a lot of content for girls nobody likes to see ;-)

No open relationships planned. Again, branching is the most important reason here. A single optional throuple route will result in 4 different branches: You're with none of the girls, you're with girl A, you're with B, you're with both. Tons of possibilities that'll prolong the development with minimal impact on the main story.

If we're talking about threesome (MFF) scenes: that's possible (and already in the planned tags).
But they'll still depend on me to find a fitting spot for them.

Oh, and the main LIs won't compete with each other. If you cheat on them, you'll face the consequences for that at some point (disclaimer: Nothing that happened till now is considered "cheating" in that regard. It'll be very clear when you're about to cheat.)

I thought i was the only person on this site who prefers monogamy lol
The only throuple in any game on this site I will choose to be in is in Being A Dik
Every other game monogamy all the way.

Nope, lol. Monogamy is the only way for me

 

[Hengat]

I thought i was the only person on this site who prefers monogamy lol

You'd be surprised. I see more and more people enjoying games with few LI and a monogamy route for each of them. Monogamy is the way.

 

[SamualHand]

OK, if it's the way does it include NTR & harem? I mean you can have a monogamous (only including yourself) relation and NTR as cherry on top!? And cheat here and there....

Hey guys,

It's Friday and time for the next Dev Update.
First, the reminder that there won't be an update next week because I'm on vacation. The next Dev Update is planned for May 19th.
I won't have access to my PC so my ability to reply to messages is pretty limited (Discord will be possible but also less active than usual).
Of course, that means no new renders and no coding progress next week, hence why the next update will be in 2 weeks.
Knowing myself I'll probably still write some notes and ideas for future scenes into my phone...

Now that's out of the way we can have a look at the progress this week.
Overall it has been a pretty productive week. Honestly, more productive than I expected it to be.
I finished last week's work on the scene and started with the next one. I had to create the environment for the new scene, which usually comes with 2 versions.
The one in my head and the one that's possible with the available DAZ assets. Sometimes they're pretty close, sometimes hardly the same scene.
Most of them are somewhere in between.
In this specific case, I wanted a bar, that still fits the place where it's located. A bar that you see and instantly can connect with a specific location.
I fully expected to spend quite a bit of time on the creation of that. In the end, the first draft I created matched what I had in mind pretty well.
I do think you can instantly recognize where it is located (even if you ignore the spoiling detail in the top left corner...)

So yeah, since I had the environment pretty quickly I started rendering away and coding the scene.
Both are nearly done by now. Only a few renders are left to be posed, the scene is almost completely written and coded.
That means there are only 2 scenes (and the small rest of the actual one) left to be done until the release of Chapter 3. We're getting there...

The numbers for this week:
114 static renders done for a total of 802. The animation count stays the same, the script file is now 3911 lines big.

Have a nice weekend and read you in 2 weeks.
Cheers,
Ceolag

P.S. Yesterday was May the 4th. So the 2 attached renders are for all you Star Wars geeks (like me). This is the way!

This bar needs some Gregorian chants as background music to complete the gothic feel.

 

[ktunga]

so....there are only 4 LI's the others are side characters or we will have the option to make a realtionship with those also?
from my point of view the sides ones are much better than the main ones ,and thats alot to say...good luck dev

 

[Joshy92]

The writing in this is way above most games on here.
I really like how the characters are developing so far. the writing is well thought-out and mature
something you don't see a lot of on here.

Hey guys,

I'm back from vacation and to the daily routine.
This week has been a busy one due to vacation last week. Lots of stuff to do at work and on top of that, Thursday was a national holiday, so one day less to catch up.
I still managed to get some work on the game done.

As mentioned before my vacation, I finished the work on the remaining parts from that scene and moved on to the last scene before the chapter finale.
For that one, I need to set up the environment, too.
Didn't take too long since I knew what base asset I'm going to use since I bought it several months ago.
So it was "just" a matter of changing some decorations, some furniture, and so on.

Long story short: I got to work on the next scene pretty quickly and made solid progress.
I'll finish that one next week and build my next test version afterward.
That'll be the last test version before the actual beta build (which will be created after the chapter finale is done).

I can't wait to get it all done and out to you guys.

To conclude this update, here are the numbers for this week:
72 new static renders for a total of 874
1 new animation for a total of 16
4228 lines for the script file

Have a nice weekend.
Cheers,
Ceolag

What can I say... I really miss Elea!

 

[Gorse]

What can I say... I really miss Elea!

No, we can't have that. Let me ease your pain :

Wow! I had just poured a nice cup of fresh coffee before cheking my computer... That's just perfect.
Thanks man. Guess it's not the first time I'm saying this, but I'd really buy you a beer or five.
