UPDATE: Game Progress, Healing & a THANK YOU! – November 12, 2020
(as posted on our Patreon Page)
Hello Everyone, I hope this finds you all well and that you’re snuggled up, somewhere safe and warm, as the weather here in Michigan is definitely turning cold!!
Fortunately, with the exception of doing some yard work (which I will get to a little later in this update), I’ve at least been keeping warm in front of the computer and working on our next game release for all of you!
At the time I am writing this, I’ve completed all of the
FACE FORWARD Sprites for both Sister Katarina and the Archangel Gabriel (who you will meet in Chapter Two), for a total of 900 renders thus far completed since my back surgery 4 weeks ago.
Today, I will be starting all of the
FACE LEFT Sprites for both characters and when those are completed, I will do the
FACE RIGHT Sprites for them, which will make a grand total of (if my math is right)
2,700 Sprite images of the two characters!!!
As you can see by the above Sample Sprite Images, that the Sprites are a good size to provide you, the players, plenty of detail of the characters as they interact with each other during dialogue (or blah, blah, blah) scenes… so no matter the state of their dress (or state of undress) you’ll get to see the ‘goodies’…
Additionally, in the sample below here, you will see only 10 of the various 15 poses that we have of each character and only 1 of the 10 different emotions that is used for each pose and only 1 of the 3 different variations of each emotion…
…so, there will be a lot of variations and combinations that we can use to let the character show a wide range of emotions while they interact with you or other characters throughout the game and series.
I’d like to also take a moment to personally
THANK our friend, supporter and brother-in-arms,
PlanetMorpheus for helping me out of trouble when he sent me RAM for my computer system… for a while there, while healing from my surgery, I was experiencing a LOT of ‘irql_not_less_or_equal’ BSoD errors every 5 or 6 renders and upon research discovered that one of my RAM sticks had died and was causing the errors… fortunately, through previous discussions together,
PlanetMorpheus knew that I was considering upgrading my system sometime next year and decided to help out by sending me RAM… so, I was able to replace the bad sticks (since they are duel channel) and get my system stabilized and, thankfully, am not having the computer reboot itself after every 5 renders or so!
So,
THANK YOU, my brother, you saved my ass and I appreciate it!!
As for my health, I am getting better and better each day and getting stronger. I suffered a minor setback earlier this week, because I decided to help the wife and neighbor across the street remove leaves from our backyard…
(all those leaves on both sides of the street are... *sigh ... mine)
…after 6 hours of riding and bouncing around on the riding mower, transporting the leaves to pile them up in big piles and taking up 4 curbs worth of space in our neighborhood, I was sore and quite done…
…we didn’t get rid of ALL the leaves, but the rest can be mulched down with the mower sometime this weekend (which the neighbor said he would do for us, since the wife’s legs can’t reach the peddles on the riding mower) and that will be out of the way.
But, yeah, needed a couple of days to recover from all that bouncing and jostling around to my back… but, still, making
GOOD progress health wise and on the game!
Speaking of which, I best get back to it… got lots more renders to complete and want to get these sprites out of the way so I can get back to doing all of the wonderful, mouth-watering, smut that will be jam-packed into “
Chapter Two” of “
Agents of Karma”!
Talk soon, stay warm and thank you so much for your continued support, love and to
PlanetMorpheus for bailing my butt out of a jam!!
