Developer's Journal 3:4
Added 2023-08-13 17:11:49 +0000 UTCHey everybody. I apologize for being a few hours later than normal with this update.
My job has kept me very busy the last several days, and I seem to have a never ending flow of siblings visiting (I have a huge family), so work on the game has been slow. In addition to the special renders which I shared earlier in the week, I have been working on a lunch scene between Jamie and MC's ex-girlfriend Seo Jun. My original draft of this scene was really bad, so I had to rewrite it, but it's not very long. I've got the lighting, filler characters, and positioning all set up in Daz, and a handful of renders done. Although the base renders I've done so far each took about two hours to render, most of the remaining renders should just be spot renders, i.e. changing expression, hands, head movements, etc. So hopefully I'll be finished with the scene in a few days.
I've talked about this before, but I'll share again for the new supporters: I typically don't do a lot of special renders. This week we had two: one for the Best Girl contest and the other for the Dreams scene announcement. But most months the only special render I do is the one for the upper-tier supporters. The reason I don't do as many as some other devs is because I want to get the updates out as quickly as I can, and while I enjoy doing the special renders they can be very time consuming.
Okay, that's all for this week. Thank you for your support!
