Glorious Monday to you all!
Today is Memorial Day for us in the states. Dedicating this post to SuperMom and now for some trivia: Back in Chapter 1, when MC is staying at Kindra's loft for the first time, he was supposed to have his mom's bootcamp photo as one of his few belongings. At the ...

Hey everyone!
Most of the work was in the writing department for last week. Writing is probably my second favorite part of development, switching between the different personalities/mannerisms. Tweaking the dialogue to fit the character. It's especially fun when introducing new characters.<...

Hey, everyone!
The render box is finally up and running. Just in time too as the weather is already well into the 90s in my area. I had to do some minor adjustments on the loop order, but the quick-disconnects really shined and made it a breeze to do. Making regular maintenance less of a ch...

Hey everyone!
Weekly check-in time. Last week I mentioned parts being on backorder. I did find a shop that had them available and the quantity I needed. I immediately ordered and even though I paid for overnight delivery, I got lucky and they shipped it via the slowest method possible by mi...

Hey everyone!
Break was nice and got to unwind and recalibrate myself. This week I'll be gathering my notes and start organizing the events that'll be taking place as we get closer to The Expo. I'll also be working on the new locations such as Kapuletti HQ, the Autumn Festival, MC's permane...

Happy Monday!
First off, I want to apologize for the bug that seems to have affected some of you. Of the 7 BETA testers, none of them experienced this. I believe this may been caused during the building of the BETA version. You may recall I had issues getting ren'py to compile the game for ...

I wanted to mention a couple things. Last night, Puggy handed off the animation for ...

Quick (probably not lol) check-in!
Reviewing things for this update. A few more re-renders, some tweaks to timings for the micro-animations, few more typo corrections, etc. But mostly focusing on finishing the animations which have been really fun to work on. Last night I spent most the eve...

Some bugs trickled in over the weekend that I'm looking into. They've mostly been squashed. Just a few renders that need correcting, but the animations are taking a little longer to complete. Puggy and I are also meeting up next week to finalize the animation I've got him working on.
Good morning!
Chiming in really quick. First round of beta is as you'd expect, especially around the branching area. I have some last-minute renders wrapping up before packaging up the next beta build. Which by the way, happy to report I was able to fix the issue I had last week.
Issu...

Hey everyone!
Apologize for the late posting. The Beta build is now in the hands of the testers.
Instead posting that there was an issue with the build and "I'm working on it". It was better to fix this issue first then send off to the testers, then post the devlog.
One of those...

Popping in really quick for a quick update. I informed the beta team that testing will begin this weekend. This week I'll be processing the remaining renders (color grading/cleanup/etc.) and inserting them into the code for testing this weekend. While they're busy testing, I'l...

Hey everyone!
Popping in really quick to say I'm working away on the final scene for this chapter. Once this one is done, I'll be prepping the build for beta testing. Not to say that beta will begin this week, but the next.
Thanks everyone! Back to the grind I go!

Hey everyone, quick check in!
Things are going good, will be wrapping up this scene. Then I will be switching gears, inserting the renders into the code. Also adding the VFX to the renders that need them (i.e. Artemis' HUD during POV shots.). Then begin working on the last scene for this up...

Quick check-in this week. I'm on the last two scenes for this chapter. After that, it's off to the BETA team!
Last week, there was a small detail I wanted to add to a scene. Back in chapter 1, I had a driving scene and wanted a backdrop. Having limited resources back the...

Hey everyone!
Great week going through what's left on the to-do list for this chapter. The scene I went back to and fix was pretty fun. It did give me thought on how to plan my workflow posing in Blender. Definitely pros and cons, but the pros certainly outweighed the cons. Probably my favo...

Hey everyone!
Can't tell you enough how relieving it is to look at my scene list and see there's just two left and one smaller scene I need to go back to for tweaks. Feels like this engine's been redlining for a while now and can finally come up for air.
As usual, I'm going to contin...

Hey everyone, sorry for the late post. I've finally cleaned up things left on the back burner. Big sigh of relief there. Now it's just focusing on the remaining scenes as well as color correcting renders. Also inserting the renders into the code and more VFX work for Artemis' POV shots.

Hey everyone,
had my hands in everything this week. Catching up on code, more asset conversions and organizing what I have left.
Someone reached out to me about playing Artemis on their YouTube channel and I have no problem with it. But it made me think about it and I checked out ano...

Hey everyone,
caught up a lot last week. save for one item that I've been tinkering with. more of a technical issue, but I'm going to move forward with my plans for this week and continue chipping away at it. I plan on working on the animations when CH6 enters beta.
Speaking of tech...

Hey everyone.
Hope you all had a great week last week. I worked on patching things I left on the backburner. That just means fixing odd renders I caught while inserting into the code, also correcting some code, etc.
Instead of giving another delivery estimate, I wanted to share what's...

Hey everyone,
popping in real quick to share a preview. Apologies for no special renders this year for the holidays. Semi short week this week, but I'll more than likely still be working through Christmas Eve and Christmas.
Kindra would like to have a word with you in her office.

I was updating code and realized I hadn't shared a preview for this scene. It was meant to be shared on Veterans Day.

Did some Blender work last week. I mentioned before how much prep goes into transferring characters over from DAZ. Here's another example with Paige being our lovely model this week.

Hey, everyone. Apologies for the late post! Was caught up in the momentum and realized what time it is. Nothing eventful to report aside from the usual grind.

Hey, everyone!
Sometimes when you're working on a scene, there's just something that's off. And after spending so much time trying to fix it, you realize its best to just move forward with it. Or else you end up spending more time on it than you want. But I like to keep those bits in the ba...

Weekly check-in!
Made some progress with the soundtrack for this chapter. Once this chapter is out the door, I will look into bringing back the music room AKA DJ Kink's Studio. Long story short, there was a fiasco with a company changing their contract terms, and many of us in the adult gam...

Was working on a scene and the power went out here. So taking this moment to write the weekly update. Mostly just scene work and some code revisioning. I hope to clean up part of the code, specifically the mini-games. There's only 1 mini-game in this chapter and I don't plan o...

Christmas is coming fast and still much to do. Last week I was shifting gears faster than a Fast and Furious movie, going from Blender, DAZ and all my other applications I shuffle between. But things are coming along well. One of my biggest mistakes with Artemis was creatin...
