This week log! let's start with the bingo.
What should not be missing?

*Workstation
*taxes
*the delay in WIAB renders for X reason.

Anything else?
My Bingo Card says there will be a MAJOR delay to both AVNs due to a totally unforeseen circumstance - Summer showed up on Ocean's doorstep a decade too early and that's really put a spanner in the works.

We all forgot the mostly likely bingo card, there will no DevLog because Ocean is hyper focusing and forget it.

Hello,

Workstation stuff
The contract is finalized, and they told me that I should get it next week. So, I guess it’s safe to say that the Workstation will be with me in the next 10 days.

However, I will have to move a lot of data and assets over before I can use it. It took around 4 days with my last PC. (~3TB)

The phone code is progressing well. After it's added to SG, WiAB will receive a similar phone with its own design.

I saw the first test yesterday, and it worked great. The coder will now finish the ability to send and receive images and videos.

So, if Miru wants to send you a video of her blueberry cake... or her ass… She’ll be able to do that.

I ordered multiple logos through Fiverr, and while it wasn’t a pleasant experience, I have now received them.

Next time I’m in need of a logo, I’ll search for an artist on Twitter or Twitch.

I mentioned one of the logos in the last update and here is one of them:

Logo.jpg

All the logos are meant for in-game companies, teams, groups, or whatever you can think of.

This up there is just one of Katie's logos... It will evolve over the course of the game(s).

The bibi hast to start somewhere.

Some bad news:
I had the worst workout ever this morning and I'm still not over it. I moved maybe 60 percent of my normal workload. I left the gym with my head held down.

I’m traumatized.

More good news:
I'm having an incredible run at the moment, however... Remember when I said we'll end up with around 3500 renders? Yeaaah... About that...

I think it's closer to 4000 to 4200 renders.

One issue, my render queue is full... It features ~350 SG renders and ~490 WIAB renders right now... If I'm lucky it renders 35 of them a night.

The attack of the Workstation will fix this.

I added some 8TB enterprise SSDs that fit my entire 3D library and software on them... So let's hope that the SSD speeds up the loading between scenes even further.

I would also love to start the animations soon because I have quite a few to do.

Soon… Very soon.

As soon as the workstation is here, I’ll update every dev log on how many renders I have been able to create and render in between.

With the WiAB release approaching, the WiAB GOG Page will be available later today (at 15:00 German time, I think).

I'll see you in two weeks.

Hopefully, with a new and very powerful PC and some data regarding the daily output.

Feels like a good log to me

Ocean's already trimmed all the bushes we can see, the cats are all purring in the sun, just not getting enough exercising :coffee::whistle:

Edit: So, a new gym membership?
I had the worst workout ever this morning and I'm still not over it. I moved maybe 60 percent of my normal workload. I left the gym with my head held down.
I was soooooo close.

More importantly, there is a cool Katie render.

More importantly, a Gog page means Ocean's getting much closer, he noramlly waits to the last minute for that stuff, with steam the priority.

Or maybe WIAB's wishlist is too low?

Who knows? But it's a positive step in my mind. As is th upgrade to the two 8TB SSD's. If nothing else, that's a pretty significant improvement. I highly approve.
I am fascinated by your perception filter. And I recognize that it is envy, I wish I could be so optimistic.
As for the SSD, the HDD data is missing, I hope he has ordered at least a 30 tb one (although SSDs have become more reliable, they will never reach the reliability level of a robust HDD).

The speed of access in my situation with sample libraries tells me the SSD's are a great step forward. But yeah, massive backup storage is essential.

He already works with SSDs, and they are not too old to say that speed is a factor. Maybe you forgot when not long ago one of his SSD's got punctured and everyone in the SG thread thought they were going to teach him how to do things (because he didn't have a pen drive with windows).

Oh yeah I remember - but a large enough one to fit all his assets on is different from a largish working one with the assets loading of a HDD. When previewing stuff like swapping out clothing assets, trying different hairstyles etc, I'm sure the time saving will be noticeable.

Backups are always essential, always. I know he'll most likely have days where he does separate manual backups on top of the scheduled ones, because there's so much of his life tied to that data now.

About the perception thing, you had more than one disappointment in the process. I'm optimistic for storepages because it means I'll soon be able to buy. I don't really have anything to add, just that the project's still moving forward, and is more developed than it was before Christmas, we need a bit of both perspectives for a balanced view as well.
