Woo I've had quite a week this week. I am still running a render surplus, by that I mean I have more scenes ready to render than my computer can do in a week, this is both good and bad.

It's good because I mean my computer has no downtime and producing as many new renders as I can (though during this summer heat this certainly doesn't make my room too tolerable!)

however, it's bad because I mean that I am sort of making some scenes blind without being able to see the prior renders before making new one, this can lead to gaps, right now in particular I am working on a sex scene, and it's getting a bit messy to keep organized, because of the paths right now there are three variations to the scene, a different intro for foot fetish fans, Dickgirl/woman and a position switch, then finally wear to 'finish'  its really easy to get tangled.

So while those renders are still working away, I decided to move on to the next scene I don't normally like to skip ahead, but the sex scene doesn't exactly move the plot forward so It's not too bad.

Like a food though I did make this scene have four variations again, it shouldn't be too bad as I can do a lot of re-use, but I always seem to make things more complex than I originally intend 

First Date 2 also has way more environments than FD1 or Fantasy Quest, FD1 has three scenes "in front of the theatre" "The hallway" and "Sam's Apartment" Fantasy Quest had over a dozen, this includes variations which require complete asset swaps like the swamp scene for example the intro the camp site and the monsters who frighten Clover for example are all completely different environments from each other even when they share the same story location.

First Date 2 however is over 2 dozen right now, it's kind of wild new locations take a tone of work to make and optimize for.

I've also been making some new characters, Guy has some High-school buddies their guy's model is a paid for asset you can buy from the Daz story these buddies though are customized one of a kind. They are not perfect by any means but given that they are not the love interests I think their prettiness is not going to be too big a concern for most player.

So I've still got a quite few renders in the pipeline waiting to finish rendering, so while those render away I've been using more of my time getting what's newly complete in game matching them to dialogue, making corrections and filling in any missing scene when they are found, as I normally wait and do it in much larger chunks instead of as they come.

The first sex scene is coming along nicely it's getting a little hectic keeping continuity for both Dickgirl v. woman variation and I also made a unique intro for those who like foot fetish stuff, but I am so far pretty happy with the results.

In other news I've been remaking and adding new main menu renders, the original game had I think 6 that it would randomly cycle between with different probabilities.

But now I've made 9 new renders with much better framing and lighting I think they are much improved, I've also added a little more tech to make the menu look a little more slick the results are quite good I feel

Here is just one of the new main menus screens that is a direct replacement for one of the original screens. I think everything about it is better, framing, lighting, expressions
