Hello everyone, finally after a combination of being too busy to work on the game and computer issues 0.4.5 of Andromeda is finally being released.

Starting with this release I plan to include an Android release, assuming it doesn't become to much of a pain to manage. I have not tested it to ensure that it works or that it works well.

Changelog:

Edit (7/13/2022): I fixed some bugs that I found while working on 0.5 and have uploaded the corrected files. However I forgot to remove the content for 0.5 from these updated releases, but I don't want to re-upload the files again after removing the accidentally included new content and do the links yet again so it is included in this release, oops. That content is far from completed, with only about 70 lines of code and a few images that aren't quite final. So long as you don't modify any of the files you shouldn't run into this content but I still wanted to provide a heads up.

Hey all, final briefing for 0.4.5. I am currently finishing up the renders for the extras for anyone that supports development at the Captain ($10/month) Tier. I expect those to be finished sometime late tonight. I have also been running test to make sure my logic for the if/then statements are correct and so far that all seems to be working as intended. So I expect to release this update either sometime this weekend or early next week.

As a reminder the extras are just extra images located in their own folder and aren't mentioned anywhere in the game logic, they are not extra scenes because I don't like the concept of locking story content behind a behind a specific subscription tier. I usually work on them early in development of the update when I'm still writing out the script or after I have finished the script and am going through test runs.

Hey everyone, so yeah not going to be getting out the next update before this month is over. Those technical issues I had a few weeks ago really interrupted my flow. I am currently continuing to render out the last animation, it is about a third of the way done though I have only been working on it for the past few days and with a few interruptions so it's actually not that slow. I expect that all scenes will be done rendering, and a test play through will be done around mid-June.

I had originally been hoping to get this out back around Easter so the extras for the $10/month tier were Easter themed but since that didn't happen while I am play testing I will likely work on some renders that are Flag Day related, though it won't just be USA flag related in this case.

Hey all, it has been almost a month since the last update. I am still working on writing the dialogue for the second sex scene as well as rendering out images, both for that sex scene as well as some other scenes. I am close to having the money needed to order a 3080, as well as a new PSU to replace my existing one because it is old (10+ years) and I am missing one more set of 8-pin connectors to power a 3080. I am hopeful that I will be able to purchase it by the end of next month.

As for the update, I don't expect it to be out probably until sometime in June unless I remove the second sex scene or not animate it (the first one is animated with two positions). 

I am also thinking about what the next update will entail, haven't started writing it yet. I guess the best way to describe it would be to call it a bottle episode, it won't use a bunch of different sets and will be focused on getting to know more of the main cast that we have currently met.

Hey all, it's been a few weeks since the last briefing.

I would say the script for this update is around  60-70% complete, most of what is left is writing out the dialogue for the sex scenes. I have blown past the 60-80 images that I projected for this update, currently sitting at 104 images and that only covers around half of the update.

When I don't have an image ready to be rendered I have also been dabbling in seeing what changes I can make to render settings to cut down on render times to see if I might be able to use animations in the sex scenes. So far this testing has shown me that an image with two figures and an environment doesn't look noticeably different between using a Max Samples of 5000 (default setting) and 500. This also cuts the render time down from around 1 hour - 1.5 hours per frame to around 30 minutes per frame, which is a noticeable difference since the animations in question are around 200+ frames.

Luckily though graphics card prices seem to be coming back down and availability it starting to be a thing again so in the next month or two it might be possible for me to actually pick up something like a 3070, might even be able to stretch for a 3080.
