So that happened....
I was about to upgrade my rendering PC with a new 2080TI that I got for a sweet deal. So for that I disassembled the rendering PC to sell off the existing two 1080TI cards.
But due to supply issues the new card got cancelled and I'm now sitting here with a gutted PC and no new card.
Since the old cards are already up for sale I won't be putting it back together any time soon and therefore all the rendering load for
another one of those "meh" weeks...
Driving towards the finish line!
Slowly but steadily the progress of the update is coming along.
How was your past week?
Mine could have been better... some RL issues kept me occupied most of the week so game dev fell short. But things start to normalize on my end so I'll be in full swing soon again.
Not there yet... not there.
The other team members are occupied with their various RL stuff too recently so the much anticipated release of the next and final update to...
Hey woah hold on.... what's going on!?
First there was no WW last week and now this...
Well, sit down and listen to my story:

Lips touching, oh my!
That's about as much SFW as I can show of all the amazing new renders that are done by now.

Will you look at that!
Good progress has been made on the renders for Ride#3 but none of those are tame enough to be shared here. And it would also spoiler too much of the fun that awaits you :P
The above image is part of Ride#4. That's right, there will be two more rides coming in total for the next version!
what a week.....
with the current heat wave rolling through Europe, most of the team was not working full force on anything... and who can blame us :D
Just a few more renders got finished and that's about it in terms of progress for the week...
Apart from that: the team upgraded with a new shiny RTX 2080 TI which is an excellent addition to the other four 1080 T...

On time this week, yay!
And there is a bunch of stuff to talk about too!
In preparation for the upcoming UltraHD Edition (that's 16:9 at 3840x2160) a new UI scaling feature got implemented.
This let's you, the player, choose at what size the various UI elements will be displayed to match your screen resolution the best.

due to major technical difficulties I was not able to post WW#29 yesterday, so here it is on Thursday instead!
Work has progressed well and we already finished a good chunk of new renders for the next ride.
The "skip seen dialogue" and "dialogue history" feature is shaping up well too and the team is very motivated to get this release done in [less than 6 months] this time!
hello new week....
... and hello new character!
This lovely young lady will stop by to offer Serena a lift home in her van.
What is she up to and how will this end for Serena?
You can find out in the next release of course!

Weekly news anyone?
It's getting really close now!
Parts of the new script are already undergoing proof and translation and the game engine has been updated with some new neat features.
The biggest new feature is the auto/skip mode that lets you customize if and how fast the game should...
Well what we have here? Another weekly update... and it's a good one too!

The renders for the next release are basically done!
Now the final beauty touchups in post began.
One new addition to the next release is also the overhaul of the intro scenes. We got a new "Forest" environment for the new rides so we updated the environment in the existing intro scenes too.

Happy Easter!
The previous week was cut a bit short due to the long Easter weekend and we took some time off.
There is not much progress to report and we ran out of SFW previews so I'm not gonna pixelate another hardcore scene as it would only spoiler too much.
So have a Serena Bunny instead!
Oh hey, wednesday again!
Pretty much all work time was spent on Midnight Ride the past week!
The Bad Ending path renders were giving us major headache because it made us reach some hardware limits (11GB of VRAM simply doesn't cut it anymore these days).
BUT we managed to establish a workflow that lets us continue the path we envisioned without forcing us to change anything in the intended s...
getting back into the weekly cycle with this weeks status report:
we are running out of SFW renders to share with you without spoiling too much :P
Internal deadlines coming up soon so stay tuned.

Just a quick sign of life after this month of sudden silence.
Due to private reasons I had to take some time off but things have normalized again and I can focus on development again.
Speaking of which:
celtic and Nidma kept working on the next release and a lot of the work is done already.
Preparations for the last renders are ...
a bit late again, lost track of time while coding, so here we go!
Renders for the first path are done and work on the 2nd path is coming along.
Not many more previews to show that are SFW at this point :P
As always, don't forget to go check out Nidma too<...

another week gone by, here is the progress update:
Serena is in for a long walk home.... more or less...
celtic was hard at work and the renders for one path are prepared to be rendered now. Once the render queue is free of SJ renders (more on that in the SJ news part) they will get processed.
As already mentioned, the
