Dev update #73
Added 2022-03-19 06:26:14 +0000 UTCHi!
Quick report on what's currently going on. The Steam release is still doing great without a change scheduled on April 8th. If you still didn't have the chance to take a look at the page here it is:
Steam
I know Andrea didn't play more significant role until way later in the game (and if you chose you wanted to see more of her), but I couldn't resist putting her render on the Steam store. She looks too good on that render to not be included.
So... What have I been up to? Mostly testing the game. PTSD still going strong and I have to make sure 110% that everything works as intended. Thanks to everyone who found typos and inconsistencies. I appreciate your work! Steam has the power to change my life as a dev, so every single thing needs to be done to the best of my abilities.
But I haven't been ONLY testing for 10 days! As I mentioned in the earlier dev update, I had some plans regarding skin textures for characters. And I've been experimenting with that. I had found a tutorial and I'm trying to follow it, but... the results unfortunately are not there yet. Somehow the model looks 10x better than mine despite me following every step. But I'm in no way discouraged. I keep trying and through that, learning. Skin textures are probably one of the most crucial aspects of adult games. I mean, how good do you want the character to look? Well, the answer is obvious: the best.
More renders with characters are coming. After I get some 'alpha previews' of my skin texture, I think I'll use it on one of the Deliverance's characters to see before and after. It should be fun. I'm pretty sure I'll do it this month.
Meanwhile, I've been scouting for assets, purchased A TON of stuff and I keep looking for more. If you want to help / enjoy browsing Daz Store / Renderosity / CGtrader, you can send me a name of the outfit you like. Maybe it will show in the game!
Also, I'd like to remind you that being a dev isn't my only occupation. I still have a day job, so if you're wondering why everything is going so slow, I still spend 8-9 hours at work. I hope that it will change one day and I'll be able to show off my full potential.
That's it for now. I'll keep you posted after I'm done with skin textures and show you a preview!
Take care!
