If I can be real, I was *giggling* with delight while I was rendering this scene. Making Guy look like a dork is my passion.Hey, folks! Hope you're all doing well this week!
I've been working on placing renders, and doing "pick-up" renders, for most of the day. Right now, my immediate plans are still to try to finish compiling the remaining Season One material, so everyone can get their save files update. That'll be published for everyone as soon as it's ready. My secondary goal is to get the new Season Two material (700~ images) added to the Season One material.
Buuut, I'm trying to basically create a second game for Season Two, which will load all the variables from Season One, allowing me to avoid having a giant file size as I continue to build onto it. I'm encountering some difficulties though, so.. We'll see. (She's wearing a bra, but you have to look close.)My backup plan is to get a standalone teaser made for the new Season Two stuff, as I've been doing, just to make sure my high-tier supporters get new content to playtest. Then I'll work on getting all the Season One stuff added except for the very end, which will prompt all the variables that need to be carried over.
If that sounds confusing, just uhhhhh.. Trust me? :'D I'm basically taking steps to get content into everyone's hands ASAP, without causing myself a big headache later.
Otherwise, not too much to report at the moment! I recently had to sit down and write the big montage designed to advance the story, while touching on all the love interests. I've mentioned this in a paywalled post, but I'd previously just had a note in the script there saying that's where the montage went, and.. Boy, past-Neon really did future-Neon dirty. But it's done, as are the images, and I think it'll be pretty cool -- if nothing breaks.I don't want to spoil too much, but I just really like the vibe of the whole thing. We get to see our (not always so) lovable hero forced into a situation that's a little uncomfortable for him, I get to smooth out some plot details with a few sentences rather than an extended in-game sequence, and the whole thing will serve as a really nice little catch-up for everyone.
Besides all that, I'm kicking around some ideas re: changes here, in terms of weekly posts. Haven't made any decisions yet, but as always I'll keep you folks in the loop.
Until then, take care of yourselves -- and thank you for your support!
Hey friends! Hope your week’s off to a great start."Yes, I do wish I'd worn a different shirt for this press conference. Next question." Rendering for the next chapter keeps rolling right along! I had a scene for this one I was kind of dreading, due to the nature of it. Lots of characters, props, etc. Then I found a nice little product on the Daz storefront (score!) which was on sale (double-score!) and made my life way easier. Sometimes the gods of smutty AVNs extend a hand of mercy towards you.
(Don’t touch that hand though. You don’t know where it’s been.) At present, I’m working to get all the remaining Season One content integrated with the newer stuff, since I’ve reached the point I wanted to with the new chapter. Please note that doesn’t mean the new chapter is done, just that I reached a good stopping point in my workflow. So I'm going to shift gears for a little bit, fix the remaining variables, and polish up whatever needs polishing. Everyone wants to know when the new chapter will be ready, and all I can say is I’ll let you know when I'm getting close. (Giggity.) I’m almost 800 renders in now, so I’m chugging right along. But I’m limited by the frailties of this mortal frame, time, and my GPU. Still, I'm trying to bring this chapter in under 1200 renders, so I hope I'm closing in on the end.
I’ll leave you with that for now! But as always, take care of yourselves -- and thank you for your support!
