Illustrated Dev Diary, July 30th, 2021
So far, so good!
This week I haven't rendered a single image (what a horrible way to start a weekly update). On the other hand, I've been writing about 8,000 lines in Renpy, then removing 2,000 of them to avoid the chapter being an exposition dump and keep continuity.

It's been another week of making decent progress. I've been posing and rendering all week, and have finished almost all the visuals in all the scenes except for the ending. Mostly animations, but some story renders as well.

I've been grinding away at the big scene I mentioned last week and it's all coming along, albeit at a slightly slower pace than normal.
To summerize, it takes 5 minutes to load the scene into Daz, and another 5 minutes to clear the scene. I'm also overshooting my 64gb of ram and 24gb of vra...

There's some things to cover this week, so I'll jump right into it.
Progress
First of all, it's been an extremely productive week. I think I've rendered more than I've done in any single week before. In addition to that I spent 2 days building what will be the centrep...

No talk of hot 3090's this week. In fact I did no further testing at all. In the end it took the fun out of this and left me feeling burned out and uninterested.

I really enjoyed working on Chapter 6 this week as I finally got a chance to dip into more of the more serious part of the story, and I have been steadily grinding away at posing and rendering.
I did notice that the 3090 vram temperature is at a steady 92C when rendering in 4k. After checki...

Weekend once again!
I really wanted to do story renders this week, but realized it's almost summer and that means people will be around the house for both early and late hours. In short, I had to finish up the two lewd scenes I was working on, instead of worrying of curious eyes.

First of all some good news, and for those that doesn't know it yet, I was finally able to get a hold of a 3090 GPU this week. That, alongside new PSU, completes my rendering rig for now, making the whole process from posing and pre-rendering a whole lot faster as I don't have to minimize lightin...

As we step into another month and seeing you are still here on Patreon, I wish to take a few moments of your time to express my gratitude for your support.
My motivation isn't to get rich or earn big bucks, but to put my story out there in the best way I'm able to. And with your support, yo...

This time I'd like to say something about the actual progress of the story and not so much about the technicalities of actually making it.
I've finished the prologue, the actual intro, and as of right now I just rendered out the last image from the first girls path. Meaning, that I've got t...

Also, as a side note, when creating Lexi (level of fame and fortune), I used Rihanna as a "model", so one of these customs hit right home.
U-u-u-um-brella, ella, ella. :)

Ok, so I made a slight mistake this month and forgot to limit the custom render post to the corre...
Dev Diary, May 21st, 2021
This week has been a tough one, where I've spent all my free time in Daz studio. There was a huge amount of scene setup, and on every single render I had to do a lot of posing. Thankfully Wibble came through once again with an asset you just can't buy anywhere - and he did so in roughly 20 minute...

A relatively quick post this week, as this period of development is more or less about pouring out renders none stop, while finalizing details in the script and setting up locations. Several of these dialogue scripts had me laughing out loud, and that is always a good sign.

"Get off your ass, Cece. We have a game to make!"
I hope you all had a good time playing Chapter 5, or if you didn't play it yet - hope you will.
The first dev diary after a release is always a bit underwhelming with not a lot going on concerning progress. Most of ...

Last few words before next weeks Chapter 5 release.
This week has been all about polishing and getting the final touches in. There's still some scripting to do on the Steph route, but other than that it's all minor corrections here and there, plus the post-work in photoshop, before I can ha...

Development
This week has been mostly about getting the dialogues and menu choices in place. In addition to that, music has been selected and the choices and branching is done. There's still a lot to do like, phone elem...
