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!!

Take care Jack. Otherwise, what DA22 said. Say DA22, do you need help with the parcel?:ROFLMAO:
Sure the more items the merrier, though maybe not for Jack :p Remember though jack, pushing yourself beyond reasonable is how you get broken in the first place, been there and done that myself as well. :) you are not the only stubborn bastard. :ROFLMAO:

I grew up in a small town called Sault Saint Marie in Ontario, across your northern border and the Soo bridge that connects our country.
It was ALWAYS cold there for a minimum of 4 months every year, dipping down to -30c (I know, I know we use the proper temperature system heh heh) so over the VERY near future, I can not imagine how difficult it is going to be for you, who is healing from your surgery, and denying yourself the fact that you are healing, thinking for some ODD reason that this makes you "broken" as you put it.
Heal, so you don't KEEP breaking yourself, one of the worst things that happen to men as they slowly age, is they think they are as strong as they were yesterday, when we are not, none of us are, myself included, since I pull muscles on the regular, thinking that I am STILL a giant strongman...sadly age is taking its toll on me, just like I am sure it is on you, so just be aware of your limitations, and don't go and rake everyone's lawn thinking that you are 100% already.
Listen to your doctor, he knows how you are going to heal, and what you are able to do...oh and quit being stubborn.
Take care and be well.

To be honest 73MP3ST (love seeing 1337!), the six hours spent was just doing my own backyard... :cautious: No other lawns but my own backyard was done in the mission. Nor were any of the leaves from my tree, all those leaves were from my next door neighbor's 6 cottonwood trees (which makes a mess of my yard every freaking spring and fall).

If any of you ever think of purchasing a home, my suggestion to all of you would be this... be aware of your surroundings, not just the house you are buying.

But, you are right, my limitations keep getting more and more restrictive as I age... and undergo each surgery. There is no denying it. I have to keep adjusting what my 100% is after each one, as my 100% for today, would be what was a 90% or less 2 years ago.

It is both frustrating and infuriating that my level of mobility and ability to perform daily tasks that I was able to accomplish a few years ago is just a simple memory today. :cry:

Still, even as I groan and suffer doing simple tasks like riding the lawnmower and taking care of leaves, as long as I have my computer system and my imagination, I will progress forward on the games at least...;)

UPDATE: Work in Progress Report – November 19, 2020
(as posted on our Patreon Page)

Hello everyone, I hope that you all are doing well, I wanted to take a little bit of your time to let you know how things are going over here and how things have been progressing for the release of “Chapter Two” to “Wicked Choices: Agents of Karma”.

Once again, the entire State of Michigan is under ‘Shutdown’ for the next 3 weeks to a month due to the virus. They’ve been reporting that the current spike is 4x’s greater than the spike that caused our first shutdown earlier this Spring…

…which means no rehab for me and more time to work on the game!

Which is exactly what I’ve been doing lots of… with some breaks of course so that I don’t create problems with my recent surgery on my back.

BUT, I currently have nearly 2,000 rendered sprites (of Sister Katarina and the Archangel Gabriel) finished!

I had hoped to have all of them done by writing this update for all of you, but… honestly, the renders of the Archangel Gabriel are taking a little more time to accomplish and render, due to the fact that her 3D mesh (unlike Sister Katarina’s) is really freaking dense with a lot of geometry and polygons, as you’ll be able to see in the two following images:

Sister Katarina’s Mesh/Geometry…

sister_katarina_mesh.png

Archangel Gabriel’s Mesh/Geometry…

archangel_gabriel_mesh.png

With the new version of Poser 12 that was released the first week of November (this month), I was able to render each of Sister Katarina’s 1,350 sprites at about 1 render a minute… however, because of the density of the Archangel Gabriel’s mesh (particularly her hair) her renders are taking nearly 5 minutes a render to accomplish… so, doing 1,350 renders of her sprites is taking a considerable amount of more time than I had counted on.

But hope to have all of hers done this weekend and then I can render out the other two characters, Father Kopa and Océane Camille Fontaine (a character created by our patron Cùran)… so, my goal is to have 5,400 sprite renders completed by this time next week!

Then, the next task for me is to return to finishing the rest of the sex scenes that you’ll be able to choose and enjoy between the mysterious Larsen (the character created and inspired by Sierra3) and Karma’s messenger: Raogrior… to finish out the chapter, assemble it all together and release to all of you.

That is where the current situation here stands, with the exception that I want to take a moment to wish Sierra3 a speedy recovery, he’s having surgery for Carpal Tunnel today as this is being written, but he said it shouldn’t interfere with his task of doing editing of my writing for the game or adding the sound effects… so, we shouldn’t have a problem there.

Additionally, expect a “HELP WANTED” call to go out from us after the release of “Chapter Two” to “Wicked Choices: Agents of Karma” to look for someone who will be able to help us do Sprite Handling (injecting the Character Sprites) into the game script… we’ll have a better idea as to the work that would be involved for that job task, as well as, the money that we’ll pay for that work, once we’ve done it ourselves after “Chapter Two” is completed and released.

Well, that about covers the update for now… all that is left is to thank all of you for remaining true and supporting us as we progress on things around here and to welcome the new people that have joined us. We wouldn’t be able to continue to do this without your support and the care that you’ve shown us, we REALLY appreciate it and we’ll talk soon!

All sounding good Jack, pity of the lockdown and lack of rehab it causes, but better as having serious trouble with hospitals or even worse so many sick cases that also things like food distribution might get endangered.

Yeah, not so happy about the lack of rehab... but it does give me a little more time to work and, well thankfully, avoid getting sick from the virus and having more hospital expenses. I certainly don't need more expenses! :ROFLMAO:

Nice to hear. You know Jack, if you would have a "small" super computer I'm sure you wouldn't need a heating in the winter. Although you should probably move a little bit to the north because of summer.:ROFLMAO:

More serious (or not) and as always: Can't wait, need more, take your time and get well, you and Sierra3.
And before some other ask: Is this game death:poop:, need save:FacePalm:, when's next updateo_O, where's a walkthrough:cry:?

Thanks for Maviarab and Ayshel for the reminder:
Where's the Android port:alien:, is there a compress version:sick:, is there an incest patch :rolleyes: , has it NTR in it :eek: ?
