Development Update #17

Hey hey everybody, we've got quite a bit of ground to cover in this devlog. So let's get right into it.

New Workstation

Some of you might remember me mentioning in the last two posts that my PC was showing some concerning signs of mortality. This is the finale of the Volos vs. His Own Hardware arc.

I'm already writing this devlog on the new machine. Putting it together was as nerve-wracking as it gets. Every little cracky noise sent me into panic mode, convinced I'd just bricked the RAM, the GPU, or whatever. BUT everything worked out in the end.

Well. Almost.

The GPU wasn't being detected by the motherboard, which cost me a whole evening to figure out. Turns out you actually have to plug the power connector all the way in. On both ends. Who knew. Certainly not me, apparently.

Since then though, absolute blessing. Everything is so smooth, loading times are at least three times faster, DAZ is practically flying. Alright, rambling phase complete. Let's get to the interesting stuff.

Where 0.6 Is At

It's been roughly a month since 0.5 released. Time flies...

Even with this whole PC being a little bitch thing eating into my schedule.
I already have a few hundred renders in the bag and the script is at a very advanced stage. Still not quite done, but 0.6 is taking shape rapidly.

In terms of scope, 0.6 will be roughly the same size as 0.5. I did toy with the idea of smaller updates on shorter cycles but it turns out I'm just not able to write in a way that makes that possible. Maybe next time.

One thing worth mentioning, we're at a point in the story where lewd content doesn't exactly grow on trees.There will be at least one lewd scene in 0.6 but nothing like a full sex scene.
It just wouldn't fit.

I'm still considering adding a second smaller (solo) lewd scene, but I might not if it feels forced. I'd rather have one scene that actually belongs there than force something in just to hit the animated tiddy per update quota.

Quality over quantity and all that.

New characters

Last devlog I teased two new characters.Turns out i lied.
There will be three new characters introduced in 0.6, maybe even four depending on how a particular scene shapes up once I've actually written it.

I'll be introducing them properly over the coming weeks with dedicated posts, so keep an eye out for those.
Spoiler: There is only one Woman among them (but she's really hot though, pinky promise).

Can't wait to hear what you think.

So what's actually happening in 0.6?

MC has his first day at his new job. Which means we finally get some real time with Nadeshiko. She's been around since the early patches but mostly in a supporting role, hovering at the edges looking pretty. You've seen her, but you don't really know her yet. 0.6 starts to change that.

I'd tell you more but I'd spoil everything and I need something to talk about in the next few devlogs. More soon. Stay awesome.
