Hi!

I'm finally almost done with the necessary settings for Friday's charity event scene, which means that the work will go more smoothly in the future. On Friday, I managed to create the first images and animations for the event. I worked until 2 AM to ensure I could share some preview pictures with you today. There are already 44 animations just for the stage, and there will be more. I've got a week to complete it, so I'm keeping my fingers (and now also toes) crossed.

I aim to finish all the visuals for the next game update by next week. There's still a lot of work ahead.

Have a great Sunday!

Good morning, dear wedding guests!

I hope you all slept well.

Unfortunately, I hit a roadblock this week, so I don't have a behind-the-scenes video to share today. Let me explain. I started working on the Charity Ball in PAM's large conference hall on Wednesday. I planned to work on the pictures on Friday and record part of the process on video. However, my mind kept drifting back to the first event in the game a couple of weeks ago, where the girls made a stunning appearance on the catwalk, showcasing their lingerie. I still consider that one of my best creations.

I wanted to, if not repeat, then at least approach that level of quality. So, I started experimenting with ideas, and now I have 32 catwalk animations. I'm unsure if I can render them all on time. I've already arranged with the marketing department to use his PC and GPU for some animations.

There is still much work ahead as the ballroom needs to be redecorated. This event will be a themed historical costume ball featuring celebrities, business representatives, and city administrators. Looking at my plan, I almost regret not opting for something more modest. But I'm almost excited about this ambitious idea and can't wait to see the results.

I've scheduled early access for July 12. Let's see if I can make it. Keep your fingers crossed!

Here are the links to the promised v2.2 version of my updated Renpy engine. If you are brave enough, please check if your save files work (I recommend you back up your old save files):

That's all for today. The summer solstice is here, so Nemiegs is off to make cheese, drink beer, jump over the fire, and search for the fern flower. I'll be back to my virtual girls on Tuesday.

Have a great weekend, and thank you for your support!

Welcome to the belated weekly update. This time of year is extremely busy here, even more so than Christmas time. While this doesn't stop me from creating visual material and working on current tasks as planned, it does mean that extras like weekly updates might be delayed. I have one more particularly hectic week ahead, but things should return to normal afterwards.

Because of this busy period, I couldn't compile the previous game update on the updated Renpy engine this week. I'll have to postpone that until next week, and those interested can test their save files. On a positive note, I did manage to start coding the kinetic version. However, I've realized that it's not feasible to include absolutely every scene from the base game logically. This means the core game will contain some bonus events.

Lastly, a WP battle is brewing between me and my marketing department. I don't yet know the subject of the picture, but we'll find out soon, either at the end of this month or next. If anyone else wants to participate and test their DAZ skills, please write in the comments or contact me privately.

That's all for today. Have a great week ahead!

Good afternoon!

Here's a brief weekly update. The routine development of game visuals and dialogues continued smoothly this week. Additionally, I've upgraded to the latest version of Renpy, and thankfully, my save files in the developer console appear to be functioning correctly. Next week, I plan to upload the player version of the previous update here, allowing you to verify that everything runs smoothly on your end. As a precaution, I've retained the old version of Renpy and am ready to revert if any issues arise.

This week's behind-the-scenes video will also take a different approach than usual.

That’s it for now.

Thank you for your support, and have a wonderful weekend!

Hi everyone!

Apologies for the delay in this week's update. I had everything lined up for posting yesterday, but my partner, deserving of some quality time for her patience, wished to go out. Naturally, I couldn't say no. So, after a lovely evening out, here's the update.

This week brought a familiar idea to the forefront, which you might already know. Additionally, I stumbled upon the .avif image format, which allows for significantly reduced file sizes without compromising quality. However, there's a snag—I'm currently using an outdated version of Renpy that doesn’t support .avif. I attempted to update Renpy a few years back but ran into compatibility issues with old save files, prompting me to revert to the older version. Given that newer versions of Renpy accommodate .avif, I’m considering another upgrade attempt and will look into possible solutions alongside my routine tasks.

Work on the next SR update is ongoing. For those in the Strategist and Investor tiers, you can check out all the new images in my backup folder. Also, expect a behind-the-scenes video to drop soon.

I’ll be back at it next week. Thanks for all your support, and have a wonderful Sunday night!

Regards,

Nemiegs

Good morning, wonderful audience!

It's time for your weekly update. I've been busy writing dialogue this week and crafting visuals for the upcoming game update. New preview pictures and "behind the scenes" Daz videos are returning. I've included a link to the full video in the behind-the-scenes post for those interested. Additionally, I've updated the Strategist (formerly CEO) tier supporters folder with all my backup raw images for the next game update. You can find this under the "Collections" section in the folder labelled "Strategist(CEO)."

The upcoming update is set for Friday and has some exciting developments. Reina and Leina will be sporting new hairstyles as I aim to refresh the look of the other girls featured in the game. Friday also marks the occasion for the big PAM show and charity event, which promises to be quite intriguing.

Looking ahead to next week, I'll continue with the routine and create new monthly HD wallpapers.

But that's all for now. Have a fantastic weekend!
