Hello,
I apologize for this boy being a day late.
I was committed to building furniture, and that's what I did for most of the day...
This was me before:
But it was time I made this place look like someone actually lives here... I now have a table and few stools. Job done. Previously, friends that came over had to sit on the floor. Did I feel bad? No.
I sold it as an alternative Berlin apartment style. (I didn't but it would probably work.)
The only time spent in front of the PC was me discussing stuff with the GF of a friend with whom I wanted to learn Blender together.
But I'm 99% sure that it's not going to work out. I love working on the games and I'm in it with burning passion... But if someone you want to work with isn't... We have a problem.
I doubt she'd ever reach the level of quality needed in terms of environmental design needed with her mindset.
Selfmade HDRIs.
I've started shooting my own HDRI images. In a future Blender log, I will explain HDRIs and why I'm shooting them myself in more detail. (It will be quite a bit of work, but as soon as I get the workflow down, it will be great.)
I drove to a closed gas station yesterday night and took around 30 images 3EV 5. (Not optimal but my cam can't do any better.)
"Can you show us the HDRI?"
Well uhm... You see... Umm... I can't find the cable to transfer the images to my PC... And I will need a new lens... I have a 14mm lens but the APS-C crop factor (1.5x) of my Sony A6400 fucks with it. (I need a lens with ~15mm).
I might just lease a camera at some point so I won't have to deal with that damn crop factor anymore. (And can shoot in 2EV 7 which is optimal.)
I'm not doing this because I'm bored. There's some intention behind it. I will talk about it in more detail in a future log.
Interactive leaves.
I want to integrate a few new thingies into the games. One of those are interactive symbols in some scenes. From now on, you can find leaves in some scenes, and they will be clickable. Clicking them unlocks a secret render.
You can see it to the right of Dana's head. (Preview)
Some of them can be a little tricky to spot. If you play WIAB without NTR, you will unlock the normal extra render. If you have it turned on, there will also be an NTR version of it.
I'm aware that quite a few play WiAB due to the NTR content... But said content takes a while to make believable... So at least you get some snacks until the time comes for some real content.
Change.
I had faced an issue ever since I started thinking about WIAB on Steam... With the events that went down in March and WiAB losing 98% of its support overnight, I was forced to find a solution to the following question much earlier than expected:
"How to publish WiAB on Steam/GOG and for the story, etc. to make sense?"
With the new update, there will be some changes to a certain part of the game. And they might be an issue for some people, and welcomed by others.
The only person related to William (MC) is Leia.
Certain love stories will feel much more natural, solving a big issue I faced in Season 2. You'll see how it feels and plays out in the next update.
The further we get, the bigger its impact.
Previews
Departure.
I'll see you in two weeks.
