Dev update #79
Added 2022-05-10 13:42:22 +0000 UTCHi! It's been a while since my last dev update. I figured there is no point in letting you know that I'm alive and working on the game without any breaks. I wish I could say that I'm working without any setbacks as well, but that wouldn't necessarily be the truth. So what I've been up to? Designing and coding the (damned) user interface. I'm suffering, but pushing through.
However, at some point you have to realize that brute forcing the GUI won't do anyone any good. So I'm mixing things up. A few hours of coding - once I'm really over coding, I go back to writing which became my favorite thing to do. Somehow I feel that every storyline comes together and I improved my writing by a lot since planning Deliverance.
To give you guys something to think about, I already have MUCH more planned now than I had when I ended my planning phase in Deliverance - so I have a lot! (including endings) And I want to have even more, so I won't have to do any reworks or rewrites or that I won't be forced into figuring out storylines DURING development. I already know I'm awful at it. Pressure ruins my writing creativity.
So why exactly am I making this dev update? Well, because I've got HUGE news! It's time to say goodbye to my beloved 2080TI! She rendered more than 16000 renders (not including any tests or monthly renders) and close to 1000 animations. She did her job masterfully and now it's time to retire.
My new 3090, welcome!
What does that mean? 2x faster render times, but I wouldn't count on it since the quality of images: textures, lighting and so on will improve significantly increasing render times by a lot. But! 24 GB VRAM! It is the main reason I changed my GPU - more realistic, alive scenes full of characters and props to give the ultimate cinematic experiance! YESSS! More freedom for me, better scenes for you. Everybody wins!
I also would like to buy another PC once the RTX 40 series will come out, but that's later this year or even at the beginning of the next.
Thank you all for your support and for sticking around!
That's it for now!
Take care!

That said when you’re current game is finished I and many others will probably admire that and forget about Kat, I’ve seen what looks like Rose in another avn, could the characters like Kat be seen in other games and do you model them on anyone (like a patchwork of models or celebrities?).

I think we can all agree that Deliverence is a really good avn, similarly I think "we can all" come up with at least half a dozen things we'd like to see in a possible DE. I know you like Pearl, a Pearl, Kat & Dahlia scene would've been interesting ;-).
