Devblog 2.1

Hi, everyone! It's been a while since my last development update, so I decided to share what I’m currently working on.

I’ve finally finished working on the poolside scene. It was probably the hardest scene of the entire development phase. The scene involved three characters, and most of the time was spent on Olivia - her model is quite heavy due to its high level of detail and her hairstyle. Plus, the location itself turned out to be quite resource-intensive, and the whole process was running at literally 1 FPS.

Now I'm moving on to the next task - creating the scene of Mira and Tyler’s car ride. In this scene, they’ll be discussing their plans for the day after signing the documents. This task should be a bit easier: the main work involves animating the car driving along the road and a few dialogues between the characters. Hopefully, this time the process will go faster and without such technical difficulties.

Recently, I discovered a program called Bridge, and it’s been a real lifesaver when it comes to working with high-quality materials and 3D assets. I used to spend a lot of time searching for really good textures and models, but now things are much simpler. You just type something like "Grass" into the search, and you instantly get access to hundreds of high-quality options. This might not be useful to everyone, but if you're thinking about creating your own game or project, I highly recommend checking out this tool.

While I was sick and unable to work actively on the main renders, I decided not to waste time and worked on improving the gallery. I added a few new renders. Additionally, the gallery now has a Replay feature, allowing you to rewatch all the steamy scenes. I also added filtering, which will make it easier to find specific scenes and navigate the content faster.

That’s all for now! A huge thank you to everyone for your support. See you in the next dev blog. Take care!
