I'm currently working on a big scene with a lot of different poses (wink wink), which takes a bit of extra time when setting up the renders, but otherwise I'm making good progress. I'm slowly getting back into the groove of doing renders all week. It's all about finding a nice workflow with some background noise that keeps you entertained but doesn't distract too much (Podcasts or Let's Plays usually are a nice middle ground for me). I'm hoping to speed up some more, especially after the current scene is finished.
I also wanted to share the results of the poll from a while back. The question was: What kind of sexual scenes are you most interested in seeing in EI?
Results (566 people voted; multiple choice):
  1. ❀️ - 313 - Ashe being dominant with fem characters
  2. πŸ’™ - 305 - Ashe being submissive with futa characters
  3. 🏠 - 298 - Ashe's relationship dynamic with Rachel/Evelyn
  4. πŸ‘‘ - 291 - Group sex with Ashe as the center of attention
  5. 🎯 - 291 - Impregnation/breeding fetish
  6. πŸ‘©πŸ» - 255 - MILFs
  7. πŸ† - 249 - Huge dicks
  8. πŸ’ž - 240 - Swinging and sharing of love interests

  22. πŸ’‹ - 117 - Bimbos
  23. πŸ’š - 75 - Ashe as voyeur with feelings of angst/jealousy
  24. πŸ‘  - 62 - Foot fetish

The poll results won't directly affect the scenes in the game, but it's always good to have an idea where the community stands with these things. I think most options here are ranked roughly where I expected them to be. The three things that surprised me the most: 1) The big difference in popularity between Ashe being dominant or submissive with fem characters; 2) The low popularity of feet, since I always got a lot of comments about that; 3) The high popularity of impregnation, even though I knew it'd be popular, I didn't think it would get over 50% of people to vote for it. All in all, every option got a fair amount of votes though, so I think that's nice (even last place still got 11% of people's votes).
