Work has continued on the strip club animation with a sample video in a couple of formats towards the bottom. Went into the latest animation, expecting it to be significantly easier than the first one, however was mistaken. To make it look realistic, it was necessary to heavily articulate the tor...
2020-07-17 01:47:52 +0000 UTC View PostRendering of the animation went well with each frame taking roughly 1 minute to render. For the game I will construct as a transparent animation with a variable background depending on how busy the club is and which stage is being used.
Following addressing a bug in the map hint system the remainder of this week has been spent flexing my animation skills. I selected a 20 second portion of a reference routine which has provided a number of challenges during the animation process. Following roughly 30 hours of work on this animati...
2020-07-10 06:42:45 +0000 UTC View PostA glitch has been identified in the current hint system contained within the map screen. From the testing I have done, this is now resolved if you replace the existing location.rpyc file in the game folder with the one as linked below.

Firstly, thanks for your ongoing support. The funds recently collected will be put to good use procuring Daz3D assets required for the side mission in v0.50. Going to be a western theme side mission. Given that last weeks update covered all of 2 days of development of v0.50, I thought I would cal...
2020-07-03 03:03:32 +0000 UTC View PostMinor update to 0.40 including the following:
- Inclusion of quest tracker and replay system.
- Minor bug fix.
- Spelling / grammatical error fix.
- Very minor adjustment to main story line.
For those that haven't noticed the official release of 0.40 was published a few days ago. The 4k source images are also available to $5 and $10 Patreons. I will likely issue a small update to 0.40 in a week or so, adding a slight tweak to the main story line and also including a quest summary on ...

Managed to released the second beta a little ahead of schedule and have had my head down working on the side story. Beta testing has gone fairly smoothly, with feedback predominately creative contributions and correction of grammar / spelling. No true bugs returned at this time.
The side st...
2020-06-19 05:03:03 +0000 UTC View PostExtremely close to completing the work required for the second beta. Have 5 renders to complete, then it is just tweaks to final coding, before I test the latest content myself. With some luck, this will see the beta released on Sunday. As a bit of a teaser, please see the following image from a ...
2020-06-12 07:18:38 +0000 UTC View PostI finally have my normal internet connection back working again. I can't believe my ISP has a technical support group that doesn't work on the weekend. Guess I'm going to be changing to an alternative in the near future.
Whilst loosing the internet was somewhat annoying, it really has had n...

As mentioned last week, I included some additional content in 0.40, to make the events on the ship more consistent with the situation at the end of the main story line content. The renders associated with this content were complete on Tuesday. Over the past couple of days I have managed to comple...
2020-05-22 02:43:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe release of the first beta last week went pretty smoothly from the feedback I have received to date. A minor error was identified in the prologue (that was there before) and a number of spelling / grammatical corrections required. There was some creative feedback which I have taken note of and...
2020-05-15 03:18:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe beta is so close to being finished, with me just now awaiting 12 animation frames and 3 stills to be rendered. It would have been done already, if not for a couple of snags I hit with the animations, details of which I posted earlier this week on Discord. I had to tweak and re-render about 30...
2020-05-08 05:45:10 +0000 UTC View PostVideo card has been processing animation frames continuously for the last couple of weeks now. There are about 150 frames left to be rendered (1755 frames completed to date), which should be completed in about 2 days. Currently I have been doing the still shots that surround these animations, as ...
2020-05-01 03:29:26 +0000 UTC View PostBeen a good week completing all of the animation posing for v0.40. Whilst I finished the posing yesterday, there are still 7 animations requiring their image series rendered. Hopefully I can process all of these next week. Thankfully, due to simpler scene complexity (no water), the render time pe...
2020-04-24 04:10:17 +0000 UTC View PostBeen a bit of a mixed week this week. Whilst the images series for the animations are looking really nice, the render time is greater than what I expected. Unlike most of the other games out there I have a far higher frame count and more complex posing. Whilst this looks way better than a 20 fram...

I have however only done a portion of the scene posing for location 3. Hence the completion of the main story is expected roughly the midd...
2020-03-27 09:47:12 +0000 UTC View PostBeen a good week of creating images / coding the first portion of the main story. I ended up creating a branch in the first part of the main story, which created significantly more work in this portion than I expected. Hence I ran over a couple of days on this section. Currently working on stage ...
2020-03-20 02:59:58 +0000 UTC View PostFirstly thanks to all my Patreons that have pushed support income into 3 digits.

Currently on the shopping list are a few Victorian assets, to be used in the side quest in 0.40. Don't worry,...

Over the past week in addition to some beta testing and the release of 0.30 (Now available to $1 Patreons), I have been developing the set and the cast of alien characters for the Rogue Den. This will be a bar located at the Beehive Station, that will serve as a hub for a range of side missions. ...

Been a good week on the coding / story writing front. Did a few renders this week, however these have definitely taken a back seat. As far as coding and story line, I have completed about 70% of the main story line, done the backstories and the TV story. I also managed to code and test the full b...
