Hello all!

Progress post time! So what's up? Rendering is... eh. I'd say it is in an okay state considering I started rendering this update two days later than usual. Naturally, it will shift the rendering time a bit, but the complex scenes are done, and I actually started rendering the scene I wanted. Although slightly later than I wanted, it’s better than I expected.

Writing. It’s... flowing. While there is no real reason needed for Tomas to see any of the characters in the epilogue stage. It’s still nice to give a plausible reason, and you can feed some information about the choices you’ve made that way as well. So it’s good, and should be able to switch to full-time writing Sorcerer 2 by the end of the week.... assuming I didn’t jinx it again.



And then a small preview before rambling. There is bound to be some repetition with the dialogue; it’s human nature. I try to avoid it, but yeah, it happens. Still... Sanya and Malgrin are, or were catching up a bit.



And then the rambling bit. A bit of continuation from Friday. Being a "hunter" doesn’t mean you are skilled. Partially because most of the supernatural beings can mop the floor with them, they tend to rely on brute force. And they make a lot of mistakes, but what is one more unsolved murder or disappearance? But that doesn’t mean all of them are reckless zealots. The higher in the Inquisition hierarchy you climb, the smarter and better trained the hunter, or should I say Inquisitor in this case, is. The only problem for them? An actual Inquisitor who has passed all the tests and requirements is rare. How rare? It is written in my notes that there are only ten active Inquisitors in the world. So if one shows up? Things will get messy. This image, though? It’s just the generic hunters trying to get a name for themselves. They will fail... Anyway, short break and more rendering!

Hello all!

Friday, and you know what that means! A progress post! So how are things?

Update 50 is done and handed to testing... and that's it. So much for being two days late, eh? Luckily for me, thanks to the temperatures shifting towards colder and my finally replacing the fans, my computer cools down faster and as a side effect rendering times dropped. So, I was able to pull 360 renders in a week. Yeah, not going to happen again... Truthfully, it was only quick because I didn't need to build sets. Something that is ahead in 0.51.0 a lot of it, there is no scene where I don't need to build a set.

So, I'll write over the weekend, take it a bit easier, I have about 15 pages to write and I'm done with the epilogue. Although I do have a feeling I should write one scene more, but... I'll see how it goes when I render things. Anyway...



Catching up with Uche. It's been a while since we've seen him, and it is a good time to see what he is up to. This was honestly the least spoiler I could give anymore. Yeah, the last few updates have been talking mostly, but that's the nature of the thing since... well... It isn't like you can call anyone to see how things are going five hundred miles to the south, or look things up on the internet. But that will change again in 0.51.0, obviously...



And then extra... At times these renders are a form for to clear my thoughts, to see what directions the story would go. Yeah, Alexander had a sword that he never used in Sorcerer, doubt that he uses it that much in Sorcerer 2 either; he has more convenient ways to deal with things. But I like it as an option. There is a reason why a lot of action movies do resort to hand-to-hand combat, simply because it is visually more exciting than simple ranged combat. And yes, there is someone new in the render. I probably should talk about some of the lore bits in more detail one of these days... Eh. Anyway. You all have a great weekend! I’ll go take a break and write!

 

[cxx]

yea 1 more scene and soon it's 20 scenes added.

I'm catching up on 0.47 and 0.48, and just got a secret at the start of 0.47, but when I went to look at the secrets pages and see what it actually is, I saw that I'm at 25/26 for page 2, and image 25 is locked but clickable (producing a bigger version of the lock image, while 26 is unlocked but unresponsive to clicks, so I can only see the thumbnail of it, not the full-screen version.
I could've sworn that I'd unlocked all of the secrets at the end of 0.46, but apparently not; does anyone know where to find number 25, or have any idea what might be going on with number 26?

Edit: now that I've finished 0.48, my second page is at 26/26, and all of the ones I've clicked on have expanded, so I don't have any idea what was up with that earlier in the updates, but it does seem to have resolved itself over the course of it!

I don't know how far I'm into the game but I'm 34/56 secrets found and haven't missed any.

I just wanna vent this because it genuinely pisses me off

This game has the worst sex scenes I think I've ever seen in a vn

Not only are they all way too long, requiring way too many clicks; they're all just 2 images repeating on loop per pose with dialogue inbetween that requires even more clicks to get past
And sure you could change the style from traditional to loop or whatever, but it doesn't help

Honestly I could put up with all that bullshit if not for the fact that every fucking sex scene is identical, they all play out the same way

You could literally make a sex flowchart for this game and most scenes would fit into it:

Kiss > suck nipples/blowjob > 69 > some variation of cowgirl / some variation of doggy > cum > kiss again/cuddle

Doesn't matter if you're fucking a halfling, a dwarf, an ogre, a ghost, your wife, your other wife, your wife's wife, an oversized fairy, a nymph, it's all the fucking same

The 69's are especially infuriating because they're just glorified blowjobs, it never shows it from the MC's perspective, I don't wanna sit there watching someone suck MC's dick for like 50 clicks every time

 

[DyonisXX]

No hashcode ? this time ?

Are you blind or are those massive strings of numbers and letters not hashcodes

Are you blind or are those massive strings of numbers and letters not hashcodes

No I'm not and I did a mistake, go and be rude with your wife if you dare !

Easy fix for that, don't play it.

 

[OverLord gamer]

They're any sex scenes yet if so how many

 

[Dr.TSoni]

They're any sex scenes yet if so how many

 

[S1nsational]

They're any sex scenes yet if so how many

If by that you mean scenes with sex in them, then yes. Tons and tons of sex are already in then game.
If by that you mean well written sex scenes, then no. But, the most of the characters involved are sexy and that's close enough.

Also, if not great sex scenes are the prince I have to pay for one more game where the girls have hairy pussys I'll pay it gladly

Hello all!

Yay, it's release day, and back to the usual schedule with it. Not so yay? So what's up?

Rendering 0.51.0 has started, shock there I know. And now, as a reminder, this one will take longer to make. Usually the script is between 20 and 25 pages; this one is 31. There are sections where I can reuse the renders since portion of the scene is the same, just certain parts differs so need so see how it goes over these weeks. So do what you want with that knowledge.

Writing... The epilogue is done. It's 64 pages. Yeah... the final word count of ToaM is 396 830, and that's mostly dialogue. So where do we go from here? Well... Sorcerer 2, the writing of it has started. Hopefully, by the time I've done the rendering to ToaM I have three or four updates buffer, that would allow me to be more flexible with things. And since no spoilers... something else.



This was me testing a... let's say, story concept. One of the annoying things with Daz is that there are no environments, which I've told a hundred times by now. So, essentially, you need to write to what you can make. Luckily, I do have the opportunity, and that is why writing ahead is a good thing. Now this is interesting in a couple of ways, other than the textures leaving something to be desired, but that is easily masked by changing the time of the day and adding some ground fog. That and it needs a few more pieces of jungle in the background. What is most interesting is that this... is something related to how Sorcerer 2 starts. There is a sort of catalyst in how things start. Magical or mundane. Or in this case, it sort of both. What starts as mundane event turns in to something else. Why? Well... that you wait and see. Anyway the interesting stuff...

Small quibble about that picture - shouldn't those "mercs" (or whatever they are) be behind the vehicles not in front of them? As it is they are sitting ducks.
