Chapter 16 is approaching 700 images, and I still have a couple sizable scenes left to finish out the chapter. Despite a little re-writing and re-rendering for a couple scenes, progress has been pretty steady. I also had to do some pick-up renders for the demo build I’m doing for $15+ members, and I still need to do some coding. But, it’s getting there. I couldn’t be more sorry for the delay in getting that out to people, but hopefully a bigger, longer, smuttier demo will be worth it.
I really went into this chapter with the intention of it being another smaller, less ambitious one. The plot outline I’d done was pretty sparse. Then I started adding scenes, as I’m wont to do. Then I decided those scenes needed several characters and/or crowds appearing in them, which are always a little difficult, as well as scenes with variant characters, settings, etc. based on choices made. Then I also decided to experiment with some different mechanics, which has complicated some things.
It’s all good stuff, and some of those added scenes have meant having favorites like Gabby, Madison, Viola, and Mason appear, when they weren’t really slated to originally. But, the trade-off is development time taking a bit longer, as I’ve needed to do some on-the-fly rewrites and re-rendering to make everything fit together. The post-mortem for this chapter should be interesting.
Still, little headaches aside, I’m having fun. Even if it’s a bit laborious, it’s all a labor of love, and I’m eternally grateful that you folks are all here taking the ride with me. Hopefully I’ll be back here next week, with a little more quantifiable progress to share.
Until then, take care of yourselves – and thank you for your support!
