Weekly report Number 30.

Hi, hello and hello there.

This weekly report can be seen by everyone because I have to make a small announcement that obviously need to be seen by as many people as possible... The download of the current version of the game (version 0.3) will be released for everyone on October 8th. That day I will give the announcement as usual on F95 and FapNation too.

On other sites the game doesn't need to be updated because they "pirate" it without any notice 🤣

I also plan to put it on ITCH.io, for free, to redirect visitors here. Although version 0.3 will most likely remain there for several months without changes, to make it clear that if you want the latest version of the game you should always come here first.

Well, to the point... Ok, ok, maybe not so to the point, you already know me and you know that I like to write.

This week has been a bit slow in terms of renderings because I have spent a lot of time preparing the "new" characters that will appear. At this point in the story (version 0.4 which follows what happened after our MC faints) 5 new characters will appear. I say "new" because nothing has been seen of them before, except maybe a couple of images, and in other cases absolutely nothing.

Preparing each of these characters implies having 4 models of each one. Why?... Because my computer is still a toaster and I can't work like a normal person would, which is to have only one or maybe two models at most.

For each character I must have the normal model with clothes, the model with reduced textures and with clothes as well, the normal model without clothes and the model without clothes with reduced textures. The naked models have all their "stuff" different, totally different from the models with clothes who actually have nothing.

After having all the models I had to test them so as not to have unpleasant surprises later like the one with my first "Emma" and her stupid hair. What happened with her is what can happen when there is little testing due to lack of experience... and that can't happen again because I'm not a newbie anymore (I hope).

In fact, thanks to all that, I have slightly modified Ronald (he had one previous appearance, just one image) because his mouth was a bit strange and that can cause gestural problems, and I have lightened his skin a bit. This testing thing is so curious in a certain way that there are times when a character can seem perfect, without problems, and a change of expression, a slightly frowned brow, is enough for a rendering to go to the trash. The hair can be quite unfriendly and if there is a small positioning problem it translates into some marks on the character's skin, on his forehead, and it can be very noticeable.

Well, stopping the hassle. I have 53 new images, for a total of 63. Hopefully from now on I will get back into the rhythm and be able to easily surpass the threshold of 80 or perhaps more than 100 images per week.

That's all for now, but remember that if you have any questions you can ask them here or on discord.

See you later, take care.
