Hello!
This is the first dev log for Day 5. I haven't actually done much, but I do have a general outline with major events and the structure I'd like to have for the next release.
Apart from that, what I really wanna do is to practice animation and making better stuff on that front. I've already started working on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ollOMMZB2ZY My most recent animation (may...

It took a while, but it's finally here. It's different than what we've been doing until now. You'll see. I hope you like it!
If you're wondering why the filesize is more or less the same as Chapter 1, I switched to .avif files for this release and it massively reduced the image size.
Let me know if anything isn't working as it should!

This will be my last update until the release. This one is the largest while also taking the longest. I apologize for that. Several of the months I've been working on this release were plagued with me feeling absolutely horrible, plus there was some time spent jumping through hoops for the Steam version. Still, I'm happy to announce that all the content for this release has been completed.
This release is the largest yet, but that wasn't what I intended. I wanted to have a ...

It's been... a lot. You know that feeling when you run in a dream, but it doesn't really work? Yeah, that's how I feel about renders. I've been averaging around 40 each day for a few weeks now and there's still about 3 scenes left to do. Anyway, we're already over the 2k renders mark and there's still about 200 left to do (I think). It's getting close, though. I wanna finish up the stills next week and use the week after to render animations while I do the post-processing and set...

I skipped the last update because I wanted to finish up the story, so good news--it's done. We've clocked in at 32-33k words. That's like 6k more than the previous release, which wasn't my intention. I wanted to keep it shorter, but a lot of scenes needed to go in and I'd rather not detract from the quality of the release just to keep it shorter. Another reason I wanted to wait until the writing is done is because now I can give a better estimation on how much is left to be done....

Don't usually share previews of him, but I've been clowning on him a lot this release, so I figured I'd give him his moment.
2024-04-16 14:46:35 +0000 UTC View PostI'm going to do a super quick update just to keep you all in the loop, but I'll have more near the end of the week.
As you've noticed, the deity images were completed and implemented.
The story is a few scenes short of being done.
Spent a lot of time on animations and got about 6 of them done plus a hundred or so renders.
I'll have a final content preview now and stop until the release as it's veering deep into spoilers after this.
This week I wanna get as many s...

Finally, it's done. I'm really happy with how they turned out.

It's been another great week. The rush that I got last week kept going, so we're a few hundred words away from the 30k words mark. I still need about 2k more to wrap up the story for day 4, but the writing is in its final stages. I've been doing a lot of rendering as well this week, so we're around 1300 renders right now. I still have a few animations in the queue which will be finished by tomorrow, I expect.
Next week, I wanna finish writing and set up a bunch of static re...

2024-04-05 11:11:07 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
So I'm just coming down the high of a writing binge. I intended to use this weekend to write and that's exactly what I did. A lot. We're over 25k words right now, meaning we're somewhere between the second and third days in terms of wordcount. Now, that's great news, but it is somehwat soured by exactly what I was expecting would happen--the story is only about 70-80% done. I really tried to shorten it as much as I could, but I don't want to deliver anything that feels rushed. Es...

Unfortunately, I don't have anything super exciting from what I've been doing recently, but here's Lilith. She's about as fun to write as I was hoping. Maybe more.
2024-03-24 18:23:35 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
It's been a pretty good week. My good mood and excitement carries on. I finished rendering the images for all the deity interactions and started on the transition scene. With writing, I wrote a good chunk of what's likely to be the largest scene this release. I also tried to see if I can move to Blender, since it would yield far better quality images and animations, but... well, the answer is yesn't. It would require either a lot more knowledge than I have or a lot of time. I'll ...

This may be a bit longer than usual as I want to get into some more personal stuff. I'll start with the updates so whoever isn't interested in the rest can skip.
We're currently close to 20k words and going on 900 static images. I've been trying really hard to get ahead with the writing so it doesn't block progress on the images. Also, I added music and SFX for everything that's currently in the build.
Going forward, I'm going to try and optimize the conten...

New Dev Log just dropped.
Sorry for missing an update, there wasn't a lot to update last week, just a bit more progress. Since then, though, I got a breakthrough in the scene with Alice that was killing me. Needed a shift in perspective to realize I was approaching the scene wrong. So I managed to finish that scene and now I'm working my way through some deity interactions. As for visuals, since I was blocked for a while, I'm almost caught up to the writing. Were around 800...

Frame from one of the animations I mentioned in the update. I don't usually share sex images or animation frames, but I figured a few people would be excited to know there's a scene with her coming
2024-02-19 17:44:11 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
It's been a weird week. I didn't really manage to get a lot of what I intended to done, but I did other stuff. With writing, I've hit a bit of a writer's block and I'm still trying to figure out what the issue is. It's a scene with Alice and those are always pretty difficult to write, but I think the block may be because I need to understand what she's feeling better. There's something that isn't clicking. While I said I was done with the animations since the next scene doesn't n...

Today, especially, has been a really good day at the end of a bunch of terrible ones. I really hope it keeps up. Anyway, update: I've finished all animations and static renders for the scene I was working on and they're looking pretty damn good. As promised from the results of the survey, I've started creating more animations, even for non-erotic scenes (you'll see, I think it's super cool). I think the whole scene looks and feels really nice. For writing, the scene with a lot of...

It's been a minute since the last update. Reason for that, as you might imagine, was that I was handling the Steam release. That's come and gone, the results have been slightly above expectations with almost 1500 copies sold as of now. Of course, that's gonna slow down massively in the following weeks, but at least I can get a 4090 after Steam and the government take their cut. Granted, that's only going to happen in March, but it should significantly speed up renderin...

I couldn't focus on writing with all the Steam release stuff, but I wanted to do something cool and I haven't rendered a shot with Brianna in quite a while. Figured it was about time.
I made one with Alice as well, but then I realized it's spoilery, so that one I'll share after the next release.

Happy I celebrated, not that happy about the headache, but I did this and I thought it looked really nice.
