Dev update #116

Hi!

First things first, the rendering train keeps chugging along smoothly. Everything still on schedule with not a single delay (so far). Every day I pose and add renders to the queue and, while I'm away juggling my second job, my trusty 3090s clear the rendering queue.

It's time to address a scene I mentioned some time ago – a huge event I've been teasing. After careful consideration, I've decided to postpone it to Episode 4. Why? Well, here's the deal: adding an extra 400-500 renders (or possibly more) and 80-100 sex animations to the current workload would push the total count towards a whopping 2000 renders and 150 or more animations. That's a bit too much. The event will be the grand centerpiece of Episode 4, where it rightfully belongs.

In just a couple of days, I'll be diving into creating spicier scenes. This means I'll be putting my new animations workflow to the test. I won't lie, I'm nervous. There's a (big) chance for things to go sideways with this specific workflow. However, if I manage it correctly, and if it actually works – the results will be nothing short of amazing, especially in terms of animation count. My funds won't like it, but the game quality certainly will. So let's keep our fingers crossed!

I've also been working on the Exploration Phases. From coding and writing to creating new jobs and dates (a finally implemented feature!) It's all coming together quite nicely. No issues so far.

Oh, the Hacking feature! While working on renders for this new system, an interesting idea struck me. I can use this feature as a way to implement special renders within the game. They may not be in FullHD, but they'll still be incredibly fun and... sexy! This will be especially enticing for the hard-to-get characters, so get ready for some pleasant surprises in the Hacking system.

A Random Render (on Discord and Twitter), a Monthly Render (+$10 Patrons), and (possibly) a new preview coming in the next couple of days.

Thank you for your support!

Take care!
