Progress Report, 19/05 - 23

Hello everyone and welcome to another in the line of progress reports!

The Lara piece is fully underway! With the Discord crew having helped me settle on a male model to pair her up with, animation's been underway for a while, with some scene revisions being done. The initial struggle here will be to figure out the general scope of these Scenario structures, and to not set the goal too high since some months will be significantly shorter than others and I wouldn't want to come out the gate with something overly ambitious now that we've been blessed with a long May month to work with - both for the sake of myself and my backers, so as to give neither any wrongful impression of what the future will look like. Simultaneously and somewhat paradoxically, I would also like to put more work into these when I am given the opportunity, so while this first one will be a bit more limited in ambition (if anything owing to particle hair physics also being a factor) I will endeavor in the future to increase the scope of these by putting more time into them - and conversely, limit them - depending on how long the remaining month is. Father Time truly is a strict fellow.

Ivy has also seen some more work, where the intro is starting to take shape - I've decided to challenge myself by including some more interactive, custom style animation and cinematographic techniques rather than my usually more straightforward sex-scene focus, which I hope will give the project some more life and distinct character, but which also makes the matter more time-consuming. Regardless, it's going well, and I hope to have more to share on the matter in the near future, though my current focus lie mainly with the Lara Scenario piece since I really want that one to be in an acceptable state when released.

Once the Lara Scenario it's finally done, feedback will be greatly appreciated, particularly as to whether people feel the format is superior and worth forsaking a regular loop over, though I'll be giving it a few more shots over the coming months to see if I can make it work either way considering the quite decisive outcome of the poll that this change is based on, naturally with all your feedback taken into consideration.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words. We've had a dip in temperatures just as we thought summer would come knocking, but spring stubbornly refuses to give way now that its time has come, so let us emulate its zeal and make way towards the future. Hope you're doing well out there, all things considered.

Take care of yourselves, and each other!
