Development Update #14

DEVLOG TIME!

This is going to be a quick one. Probably. Most likely.

While I'm writing this, the last batch of about a million renders is waiting to be rendered out for the next update. This means 0.5 is about to take its final form. All that's left to do now is:

• Putting everything together in Ren'Py

• Post-processing all those renders (aka fixing the clipping in PS I missed in DAZ)

• Adding sounds and music

• Testing this beast of an update
  

Last time I mentioned that there were still some scenes that felt a little off. We fixed that by adding three more small scenes to smooth out the edges.
One extra scene with Julia, one with Lisa, and one with... well. You'll see soon enough hehe.

I'm really happy with how everything has turned out so far and I can't wait to send it out into the world.

We're now sitting at around the 1.800 render mark, give or take. I didn't count exactly because I've developed an unreasonable fear of numbers, especially when they're on a calendar.

Speaking of numbers.

This is going to be the biggest update so far, which is great. But it did get me thinking: would it have been better to move some parts of 0.5 into 0.6 and release earlier? Because waiting for new content always sucks, and all the sucking involved with DS should be in-game.

So what do you guys actually prefer big updates every 5 months-ish, or smaller but more frequent updates every 3 months or so? Let me know in the comments, I'm genuinely curious.

Anyway, just me thinking out loud. I'm still very pleased with what 0.5 is becoming and really proud of how much we've managed to get done since the last release.

So what else?

I could complain about how my day job really sucked the last two weeks, but I want to end on a positive note, so I won't. Instead, I have a little surprise for you.

My homeboy Batman_sid and I did a character model trade. Julia for Charlie.
Good trade if you ask me.

Charlie is a real natural, the scene practicly build it self.

Charlie from Moonlight (Batman_sid)

And look at what Barrabas made for me! I think I need to get actual merch made. I want that jacket.
THANK YOU BARRABAS!

Also,don't forget to wishlist Demon Seed on steam!

Turns out I was lying when I said this was going to be a quick one.
And not even a TLDR this time.HA! Sue me!

Wish you all a great rest of the day.
