Hello all!

And once again it is Friday and another progress post... whee... So what’s up?

Rendering. I’m around 850 renders. I do roughly 40ish renders a day, which is about 10 more than I normally do, so it’s an okay amount for three weeks. I’ve been trying to get one scene a day, but unfortunately it’s been one scene in one and a half days, which isn’t bad, really. Just personal annoyances and all that. But getting there.

As for writing? I’m closing the end up of update 3, as I should be. So I can’t really complain about that progress. I’m happy with it. My only real annoyance is that there are scenes that I want to write in a specific environment, but I constantly need to check does one exists or I can do it. Few scenes I’ve had to alter because of the answer is no. Eh, not a big deal.

Then, our lovely Eshe, keeping her muscle memory sharp. Truthfully, there is not really much to say about the image. You’ve played most of my stuff, you know this goes by now...

And then the extra bit. Characters are always evolving in one way or the other. And while I try to "know everything" about them before I write, things can change while writing because then the characters will truly come alive. In the VN’s case, it’s more when you know you can make the renders to support the idea. During Sorcerer you mostly saw the "upper class" areas, simply because there weren’t enough things to make anything else. That’s sort of annoying storytelling-wise. You want the visuals to match. If someone is from a rundown neighborhood, you want the visuals to match. And show it if need be. And if you can visualize something, it helps to form the characters’ personalities more easily because it becomes that much more real. Three of the characters in this render will appear in Sorcerer 2, the environment? Not sure, I’ll know when I write one of the three in... Anyway, short break, then more rendering. You all have a great weekend!

Been a fan of Talothrall for a bit. Played his other titles. I just started this one and am liking it so far. Only a little disappointed that this isn't a continuation of Sorcerer.

BTW loving the orc lady.

Mine are in Documents/Renpy_saves/com.talothral.toam at least on my android 14 phone and android 12 tablet, can't say anything for newer ones.
I have only seen them in Android/data so far. But if they are in the documents folder as well then that's good.
Have played your AVNs a few times over the years and they are among the best ones, so it's been frustrating now that Ports aren't working on my mobile.
But will figure something out, can't give up on this one easily. Keep up the good work.

Just have to say again how much of a fan I am of Talothrall's work. Even the more exotic females are beautiful in their own right. Thanks Tal, I will keep watching for updates and (fingers crossed) new work.
So am I. Excelent work! I enjoyed Sorcerer a lot, and Toam is amazing too!

Hello all!

It is Monday, and I’ve done stuff... Unfortunately, no preview because, well, yeah... not really anything I can show in public. Anyway.
Rendering is going all right. I have seventeen scenes left to do, give or take. Of course, that is assuming I counted correctly. So, the progress is steady. At times it is slower and at times it’s quicker. Posing can be slightly annoying occasionally, but I’m getting the hang of it again. Somewhere around 950 renders, minus fixes and some additional images.

Writing? It’s in an okay state. I’ll probably start writing the update 4 tomorrow or Wednesday, depending does my brain wants a break or not. My only real annoyance is that there are limited opportunities to make choices in the early part. We are dealing with people who know the MC and have some sort of relationship with him, personal or professional. So there is no need to "win them over," if that makes sense. Update 3 might take slightly longer to render, not sure until I get there, but there’s nothing new in that regard.

Concept. Realistic pacing requires "filler" scenes, granted I rarely do filler scenes that don’t have a meaning. This was titled "Heritage" when I made it. Alexander’s past is shrouded to say the least. Tamara knows things, obviously, but not that much. She knew who Alexander’s mother was, obviously, considering the story in Sorcerer 1. But outside of that? That is unknown. And now you ask, who does this tie to everything else you are writing now? Now, that is a good question. Things are connected, while the problem that our hero ends up dealing with doesn’t have anything to do with him. There might be things about his parents and ancestors that might provide a solution to some problem. Assuming the needed knowledge is found. Will it happen? Maybe. It is one avenue that I’m, let’s say, exploring in the background. Anyway, things are going decently. And now I’ll take a short break and then continue rendering. See you all on Friday!
