UPDATE: Productive Week & Best Intro Ever!! – May 23, 2020
(as posted on our Patreon Page)
Hello everyone,
Sorry that this update is a little late, but have been working like crazy over here and trying to balance productivity from killing myself… and proud to say that I did a better job of not crossing the line this week into overdoing it like I had last week.
In the forms of productivity, I managed over 280 renders this week… 240 of it just for key framed animation for two scenes, the rest were for the start of the sequence which I think is one of the
BEST CHARACTER INTROS that I have
EVER done for our games!!
Next week, I plan to spend returning to the task of finishing up the
LENGTHY animation for Sister Katarina and the Cardinal… but wanted to focus on some different stuff and animation this week.
Speaking of animation, thanks to all of the feedback we received from our patrons, we will be finishing up the animation for “
Chapter One” and “
Chapter Two” and then putting the brakes on doing animation till such time as we feel we can afford it or someone steps up to invest in us.
If you ever played our first game, you know that our games are not simple storylines with a couple of pretty pictures and light on content… to keep that structure that we are known for, it has proven to be just too difficult to add animation to all of that writing and content as well… so, for now, after
Chapters One and
Two of the
Prologue, we will be dropping animation till we get to the
Main Game, which will then use Sprites and Static Backgrounds except for dramatic or sex scenes (which will be keyframed animated till we can afford the equipment we want or find ourselves an investor).
Sorry, but we (the staff) feel that having regular and steady releases are more important to our games and patrons than adding a couple of seconds of either crappy, herky-jerky animation or the extended time needed to actually do the animation
RIGHT!
I will let you know if we suddenly change that… either by one of us winning the lottery or an investor comes on board, till then… we feel that regular releases is the way to go so that we increase the amount of money we are making and I can afford the tools I need to add
CORRECT animation to the mix of work we already have to do.
I hope you understand.
Other than that, know that we are staying as safe as possible over here from the virus and I am counting down the days when I can get my next steroid injection shot… but know we are working hard and should have something out to you to play in
JUNE!!
Till next we talk, take care of yourselves and your family and we’ll talk to you soon!!
