Status Report

We're nearing the end of the month, and I know I'm overdue for a proper status report.

I've been refraining from sharing too much so as not to spoil cool moments, but...you guys have been so patient, I gotta share something! The second shot is a recycle from a recent commission, and the first-person shot is one of several animations I've made recently.

Samantha's event has made huge strides! I've been playing through it the last few days, and I really like how it's turning out.
Unfortunately, Samantha has the highest sexual appetite out of every heroine in LLRR, so I have to keep adding to the scene until I feel convinced that Flin and Samantha's muscles will feel sore as fuck in the morning. And then I have to add more beyond that, and also a bit more beyond that, and then Samantha's event will be done. I've plotted out the full remaining skeleton and the whole event is probably around 70% done, though when you account for the visual work that's already done, I'd say we're closer to 90% done.

I also still need to implement the scenes for Julie, Amy, and Kelly. Those won't take nearly as much time, but nonetheless, gotta do 'em.

Now, it wouldn't be an LLRR update if I didn't also try to experiment with some random new bullshit 😃
This time, I decided to look into a feature that was recently added to Ren'Py: audio filters. Instead of creating new audio files, you can now use a few lines of code to dynamically apply audio filters to sounds during gameplay.
This can be computationally expensive, so I'll say this: I recommend avoiding the reverb filter. You've been warned.
Seriously, I tried the reverb filter on several sounds at once, and instead I got to hear the most wretched screeching distortion of my life tear through my fucking headphones and into my nightmares.

But I learned my lesson, and kept it simple. I wasn't looking for reverb anyway.

I was looking for the low-pass filter, which is MUCH less computationally expensive.

Low-pass filters are the perfect way to make SFX or voice lines sound like they're muffled, coming from the other side of a wall. Which...I'm putting to use in this update, as we occasionally shift the perspective away from Flin and outside the room for brief moments. Fun stuff!

So yeah, I'm gaining momentum, but there's still stuff to be done. As always, I'm incredibly grateful to you guys for your continued support and interest in this project!

Back to it ~🎶💕
