Hello all!

Progress post time! This week has been... okay. Rendering script wise I'm where I want to be. Render count wise? Not really, but that has never actually been that important as is since action sequences easily bloat the amount of renders easily. But it's all good for now anyway, complex scene ahead, and hopefully done by Sunday. But that remains to be seen.

Writing is in okay state. It's easy when you know what you need to write, the problem again is to chose what events you put so there isn't a lot of content hidden from those who made different choices. But it's going decently, at the moment.



Planning how to proceed... This is image is problematic as I can't add light to it, at least not in a way it wouldn't cause more problems than it solves, despite the walls having yellowish tint they are actually white. And white colour means problems when it comes to light as it reflects it, so adding more light would mean the walls would seem to be glowing even when the light is simulating colour of a candle flame. Annoyances of a person who wants "realistic" light. Granted for realism it is way too bright but need to see something... And no, Aisha is preparing some food, not threatening anyone with the knife. Anyway, time for my break then render a bit more. You all have a great weekend!

As for they bought spices at the market pretending to be merchants and seeing the vegetables in the background, i suppose there is some real cooking smelling in this pic.

Nisha is totally about to grab something off that table and eat it.

Nisha

If you chose to make Nisha a lover, does she stop being your familiar and can't help protect you anymore? I would love to see her as a human instead of a panther and have it where she can still turn invisible when needed. I made her a companion, I hope I didn't choose the wrong choice lol.

I believe she will be lover in a place of power not everywhere. So I think you earned the best companion, which seems you already had... no problem you may lost a lover but I may be wrong

It's clearly explained in the game how it will work.

if you follow the dialogue Nisha isn't MC's familiar for a long time already, they have a different, deeper bond. so taking her as a lover doesn't change any of that.

Hello all!

Monday... So how are things? The weekend didn't go as planned, unfortunately, the scene I hoped I would be done by Saturday took whole Sunday as well. Annoying but happens. On positives? I just have two scenes left. Not so positives? The two scenes are sort of half of the update. So if update 0.44.0 feels extremely short, you might want to revisit 0.43.0 and the question Eshe asks... Just as a hint. Or toggle it in the debug screen or something. Ah well, just means I need to code while rendering again.

Writing is in okay shape overall, hopefully I get to write some tonight. Truthfully, it feels like I'm stretching things at the moment, but it's more due the fact that I need to pick what to put where. Normally I just write, events come when they come, right now since we are closers to the finale I need to close few threads. So I need to put A there, provide more information with B, then deal with events C and D... while ensuring people who have chosen differently will see something. Eh, it's just writing...



And then a preview... Things are going to the plan, and seeking where the Rose might be found. Maybe. The desert arc is in certain ways interesting, it isn't as intensive as the dwarven city, but there are some information that could have been only gained from this part, well or any other part I would have written of it's stead. It gives more broader perspective of the world and it's struggles at the moment, no you aren't going to solve every problem personally, at least not during the first ToaM, but you can influence on how they go. It is most parts unintentional, but there are hooks left if I ever return to the world to continue easily.



And then something else... I'm not... happy with the expressions. I need test and record what expressions I'm happy with on who, they look fine in the preview but not liking them in the render. Which is annoying, but that's more of a me problem than anything else. Meh, I'll deal with it when the time comes. And now time for a break and then do more renders and write. See you all on Friday...

Perhaps the choice in question has nothing do with harem, there are several of those choices around...

Can't wait for the next update. Hopefully update 43 public comes out soon since the multi mod is already out for it.

Talothral usually does a free release somewhere around the 5th and 20th of each month. It varies, but is a good rule of thumb. ShaddyGames is really good at releasing the mod one game version ahead.

It's every 2 weeks, on Sundays.

It would be on 7th, which if I nitpick is Monday, but time zones and all that making things interesting. However, this week might have a caveat, there is a storm heading my way, and whilst it should be over by Saturday I can't really guarantee that I have net or power to actually make the post, depending what the storm fucks up. Mother nature is one of those things I can't control... To my annoyance.
