[Episode Gacrux] Progress Update IV

[Episode Gacrux] Progress Update III

[Episode Gacrux] Progress Update II

Greetings,

I had to create a hot-fix for the latest episode that fixes a bug with the tool-tips. It can be found in the episode release posts.

Edit: There is another bug where new save-games are missing access to some newer locations. So I'm creating another bug-fix that will probably...

[Episode Gacrux] Progress Update I

Greetings,

I finished the mini-update with the extended bathroom scene and uploaded it and I moved from working on tech debts to work on the next update.

Release Mini-Update Episode Fomalhaut - Build 0.6.2

I updated the links in the Release-Posts and I updated t...

[General] Progress Update

Greetings,

I was mostly busy with the tech-debts. And one thing lead to another and I reworked quite a lot in the background. However, I guess most are rather interested in content updates.

Current Status (New content for mini update)
- 4 animations
- 10 images&...

[General] Progress Update

Greetings,

episode 'Fomalhaut' is live and currently there aren't any big issues reported yet. I hope it stays that way :) 

So what's next? 

I want to to a minor release where I address some technical debts that I want to improve or implement. And I wa...

[Episode Fomalhaut] 4K Render Reward & more

As voted by the poll this episodes render reward is again a image of Selene and Stella. This time in the new created sauna with a bit of steam and a lot of bare skin.

I also add the full-sized vertical scroll image from the last update. Last update it was only one sadly. I'll try to make su...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Release

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update XXIII

Greetings,

rendering is done, scripting is basically done, just some small adjustments here and there while testing maybe. Review is basically done. Osanaiko did a great job, there are just a few check backs that need to be addressed. 

There are still a few small...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update XXII

Greetings,

it's nearly done. Approximate 30 dialogue images left and 1 animation to render. So I'm pretty sure I'll finish rendering for the dialogue this week. After that I need a few location shots, some secrets and the 4K Render reward. 

Once I'm done with the images for the d...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update XXI

Greetings,

I've continued to work on the last scene and I'm more than half way through I think. The most time consuming at the moment is posing the animations in order to prevent clipping and jittering. I had more poses for animations planed, but I may skip a few to not pro long the update ...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Poll - 4K Render Reward

Greetings,

it's time for the poll for the topic of the 4K Render reward for this update cycle. Yet again it will be 3 topics to choose from.

A recreation of the iconic shot where Officer K (which will be Elios) stands on the bridge in fro...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update XX

Greetings,

first of I want to wish you all a happy new year. On the project side I underestimated the workload that I need to do for the last scene and therefore I doubt there will be an alpha version even within the next week. But that's why I make no promises or release dates. I just had ...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update XIX

Greetings,

the update is slowly approaching the finishing line. I'm on the last scene now. I don't think I'll be able to make an alpha release build this week. For this the scene is to long. But I'm pretty sure early in January I'll have a build ready. 

As I don't want to show an...

Happy Holidays

Greetings,

I hope you have a good time and can enjoy the holidays as much as you can.

I wanted to do a Christmas themed render this year. This 4K image does not replace the usual subscribers reward. The poll for this will come soon.

Progress update will come as usual tomorrow. 2022-12-24 11:13:03 +0000 UTC View Post

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update XVIII

Greetings,

well it's the time at the end of the year where everything is a bit more hectic in work and private life so I couldn't do as much as I want. However, I still did some progress render-wise. I think I'm halfway through with one of the 2 final scenes. Hopefully by the end of next we...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update XVII

Greetings,

nothing much to say this week. Rendering was quite smooth I think. I finished another scene and now "only" 2 scenes are left.

I haven't really created any spoiler free image this week. But I also worked a bit on the procedural generated northern lights project I wrote a whi...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update XVI

Greetings,

the render progress was a bit slower this week for a few reasons. One is private and work life and the other is that I adapted my shaders to the new octane render release which took some time. More on that below. So there are 3 scenes left to do and I started one of the bigger sc...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update XV

Greetings,

had a bit more time this week than usually so I could do pretty good progress on the render front. Could finish a few smaller scenes and started new ones.

I have 4 more bigger scenes to do. 2 of them are pretty big / longer ones. I'll try my best to get everything done befo...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update XIV

Greetings,

the increase in the render count this week isn't as high as I would like it to be but I created and finished another location.

Bathroom environment

I wanted to create a specific scene / pay homage to a meme. But I didn't just want to recreate the scen...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update XIII

Greetings,

this will be a rather short update but I hope the next one will be a bit longer again. I finished rendering some more scenes but haven't tackled the hot ones yet. And presumable I won't start with them next week as I still have a few other scenes to render which I already prepare...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update XII

Greetings,

this will be a somewhat shorter update I think. The sauna is finished and I'm quite happy with it. As always I would like to add more details, but this will do for now.

I also did more dialogue rendering for other scenes and the review process for the dialogue of the whole ...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update XI

Greetings,

I've taken care of most hiccups following my vacation and I'm back at rendering. At least I'm trying, more down below.

While on vacation I took some time on a few evenings and started working on the layout for the episode following the 'Fomalhaut' update and even sketched s...

A day before my departure when I wanted to control my checklist for the vacation one last time my pc broke down and didn't came back on aga...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update X

Greetings,

this will be the last progress update for a few weeks until after my vacation. The biggest progress this week was probably the scripting which is now done half way done probably. While scripting I prepared notes for me so I know where I have to take on after my vacation.

Greetings,

the stream will happen on the 01-10-2022 at 19:00 GMT in case someone want to have a look. The stream will take place in a dedicated room on my discord channel where only Patreon members will have access. I won't do any spoken commentary. However, I'll have the c...

4K Render Reward - Selene in 'Mirrors Edge'

Greetings,

there it is. Had a blast creating it. It might not be perfect but I think it does catch the style of its role model.

Some minor details about the image itself. The environment is created through kit-bashing and some of my own models like some of the pipes and the camera. I ...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update IX

Greetings,

I've worked on the game as usual. So, more renders done and more scripting was done. The stream for the sauna modeling will be later this week as I want to finish the 4K render before.

I paused the billing cycle for October, so no one should be charged on October first. Did...

Poll for 4K Render

Greetings,

like I said, before the vacation I want to make another 4K render and thought of 3 specific scenes / styles I'd like to give a go. They are all inspired by games / franchises whose style I really like and would like to try to recreate their flair.

The poll will end on next ...

[Episode Fomalhaut] Progress Update VIII

Greetings,

this week I've been doing more rendering and starting scripting the first scenes.

There will be quite a few new locations that will be accessible in the upcoming update like the one above. So lot's of new locations to hide little secrets :)<...
