Development update
This has been one hell of a busy week for me and still I'm pretty surprised with how much progress I actually managed to squeeze in. I don't even really know how I did it but I think while writing it actually doesn't even hurt that much not to have hours to sit in front of an open words document to think about everything and instead just use the limited time to write things as they come to mind.

In terms of concrete progress I got done with the last map early in the week and for writing I finalized the morning scenes as well as all the variations for the Viktoria and Julia. I also started with the end of the day scenes but here the progress stalled a bit. Normally I have a pretty good idea of how to wrap up everything beforehand but this time around most of my planning was in regards to Viktoria and accordingly I'm still a bit unsure with all the stuff that comes afterwards. I do have some ideas and especially for Jacky it itches in my fingers to make something happen but here I have to be careful not to get too ahead of myself as the true breakthrough for her is still a bit off and I don't want to take away from that. I think I got something pretty good for the corruption route but I'm struggling to find a good equivalent for the seduction one. I'll figure something out though.

Apart from that I also did a lot of minor changes to the character models, the biggest of which are that I changed the eye shaders. In general I doubt that most of these changes will be very noticeable as they are mostly just stuff that annoyed me. I also did a few bigger tweaks such as those to Emilys face I posted on discord but it remains to be seen whether I will actually end up using these.

Anyway, I will try to finalize the script next week so that I can start rendering and get some teasers ready for the showcase at the end of the month.

so that I can start rendering
There are no "Rendering" in Honey Select or what he uses.
Its live 3D content
You just press "take screenshot" then you have your "Render"

All HS Developers who uses Rendering Times as an excuse for it to take longer is lying.
i can understand that posing the characters and getting the environments right takes time but rendering is Zero.
just one note so you know :)

Don't be annoying. He doesn't use rendering times as an excuse for time used. When Hs devs talk about rendering, they are talking about setting up the scenes and character and poses and camera. That's technically not what it means, but who gives a shit.

Ehh, this is partially true.

You'll notice there's "normal screenshot" and "rendered screenshot."
You CAN just do screen captures and go that route, but if you render out at a higher resolution (which BaiBai does, he does 2560x1440) then it does take a little time.

There's also rendering animations frame-by-frame, which I'll admit I don't know how to do, but THAT would be the true time sink in render times, guaranteed.

But also yeah, setting up the scene itself is far more time-consuming than rendering the scene, in any software, in my experience. I am always a little surprised when some devs talk about pure render times being a significant bottleneck for them, but BaiBai isn't one of them, and his use of the word "rendering" is accurate here.

Oof. Can we get a proofreading pass soon? The number of weird typos grew exponentially towards the recent content, and idk what the hell "under four eyes" means but that among other odd misspellings got really distracting.
well, in german, there is a saying "unter vier augen" -> under 4 eyes, meaning a meeting/talk where only 2 ppl (2 sets of eyes aka 4 eyes) take part in. guess that what it´s supposed to mean
Wait bai bai is german? Or do any other languages use that saying?
I always thought he was Chinese, hmm, how does he deal with censorship and other internet laws in Germany?

IF he is german, then may through VNPs or something? germany is rly crazy when it comes to internet censorship, like most nsfw games on steam are flat out inaccesable if you try to open them up from germany.

It must be very difficult to explain to "german IRS" his incomes.

NSFW stuff is not illegal. It's just that age verification on Steam is not strong enough for Germany's government.

There's no such censorship in Germany. NSFW games aren't on german steam because steams age verification is basically nonexistant. There is no general censorship when it comes to NSFW material in Germany.

Selling porn isn't illegal in germany. Not even prostitution is.

If the developer is chinese then the project of their own will mostly have a chinese version first(some even have chinese version only), as the fan base of adult industries in china is huge and developer prefer to make their work in their mother language.

Adjust of emily's model, from discord I think?
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The reason I wanted to tweak her face as a whole was because I feel like she can look a bit weird from some angles, especially due to the depth of her eye sockets.

I'm currently playing around with the lip gloss for all characters. They probably won't stay this shiny, just so that I still have room to increase the gloss for special occasions.

Her eye size is also reduced a bit to compensate for the longer eye lashes. I think that also plays its part in her looking a bit more grown up.

For this model my intention was only to get rid of some weirdness and to make her look better. I do agree though that she ends up looking a bit older.
