"Hi, maintenance? Yeah, I have two annoying siblings in my apartment."Hey, folks! Hope you're all doing well this week! Work continues, and right now I'm basically just doing the same stuff I was doing last week. I've been setting up scenes, shots, and costumes for Chapter 11, working on a scene that connects the new Chapter 1 with Chapter 2, and adjusting variables.
The Chapter 11 stuff is mostly just getting my ducks in a row, so I can hit the ground running when I begin rendering Chapter 11. It'll save me a bunch of time later, when I don't need to set up lighting, sets, etc. That's where Business Babe Nicki came from, up above. Is that.. eyeshadow on our girl?! Dressed to impress, Nickidoodle..Still rocking those sneakers, though. Maybe Mason can teach Nicki to walk in heels.
The scene(s) that connect the new Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 features a little ero scene, which I have mapped out to be similar to Dash's scene from Chapter 10. Not going crazy with positions and options, just a little somethin', somethin' to show what our plucky protagonist was up to while Nicki was gone. I'm about 90 images into that, which is more than I anticipated doing. Story of my life!
The variable tweaking is all going pretty well. I've been playtesting as I go, and I haven't broken anything yet. So, I'll take that as a victory.
Finally, I've got a new text-based short story featuring Madison, which I'm in the process of editing. That'll be up this weekend for all paid supporters, and feature a few pieces of art showing Madison in her younger days. People really seemed to dig learning more about Isabella in the last story, so I'm hopeful that this one will strike a chord as well. But, the soft-hearted will be happy to know this one won't tug on your heartstrings quite as much as Glitter and Grit.
Alright, I think that's it for me! Hope you folks have a great week, and I'll be back on Friday and Saturday for the Sneak Peek and Wanton Weekends features. As always, take care of yourselves -- and thank you for your support!If, "Listen here you little shit," had a face.
I've been collecting feedback for Chapter 1's remake, and I've been pretty happy with the reactions so far. There's some stuff I'll miss from the original, and stuff I wish I could've worked into the new Chapter 1, but just couldn't find the space for. But, overall I'd call it a success.
Moving on! I put out a short text story featuring Isabella Bellino, perhaps better known as "Brittani's mom," exploring her life some ten(ish) years prior to the beginning of our story. It's available to all subscribers, beginning at $2 -- but I'll be unlocking it and adding it to the main, sticky'd post in a month or so (longer if nobody reminds me..)Finally, work is still ongoing to integrate the new Chapter 1 with the following Chapters 2-10. I'm working to untangle the mess that is Chapter 7 aka Ashe's Date, labeling things to make it easier to track her relationship, and attitude towards the player by the end of said date. So far so good, but.. Ugh. Tedious.The first appearance of Guy's new abs! :0
I'm also working to add a little bit of extra connective tissue between Chapters 1 and 2, which more clearly lays out Guy's journey from that fateful night with Nicki, to forming his charity, to becoming the more well-rounded and confident person he is when we meet him months later, at the start of Chapter 2. This adds a small scene (with some ero material) where we see Guy in Brazil -- an event previously alluded to in Chapter 4. Then, a small scene with Callie Chen of Chen's Convenience, which leads into the original opening of Chapter 2, where Guy meets Ashe.
After that, it's back to work on Chapter 11, targeting a release date for July.
That's all I've got for you today! As always, thanks for being here, take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!
