Weekly Report 304 - No More Money
Hi guys, how you've been. I hope you all had an amazing week so far.
Before I jump into the technical stuff (which I know not everyone cares about), here’s a quick summary of the progress so far:
We’re pushing hard on this episode. I managed to get around 200 renders done this week, on top of what I already sent to our new artist. I haven’t added his work to the progress bar yet since I want to wait until he finishes the whole event, but things are looking very promising on his end.
On the animation side, we’re also moving forward steadily. Similar to the static renders, the animator delivers one event at a time, so progress tends to jump in chunks rather than day by day, but it looks good on that end as well.
Now for the not so great news: after almost five years of rendering thousands of scenes, one of my machines finally gave up. The GPUs hit their limit, and now I can barely render 10 scenes before the system goes into thermal throttling. I’ve cleaned it, replaced the paste, swapped the thermal pads, but nothing worked. So I had to order a new GPU.
Since the software still has issues with the 50xx series, I had to buy a 4090 card and the only new one I found was in China, so it might take a while to arrive. In the meantime, I can still pose scenes on the machine with 2×5090s, but I can’t use it for batch rendering, which means I’m keeping that one busy with rendering animations instead.
That being said, I wish you all an amazing rest of the weekend. Hopefully next week I’ll have better news to share.
Bests,
Jason
I wonder what Charlotte’s working on.

PC issues suck, I feel your pain. FWIW though, I can run render batches, albeit slowly, on a Ryzen 5 with RTX 4060 and 32Gb DDR5 (my old rig), providing the scene isn't too heavy in assets.
I appreciate it, but a patron suggested a solution to be able to render batch on 5090 which works with a few limitations, but overall it’s working
Can't wait
Hard work and great work!!!
Great to see the weekly reports RC and when can we expect Emma and Charlotte interactions? love to see them together and Emma getting to know Charlotte and MC relationship Absolute shocker in the horizon.

Thanks for your hard work bro 👍
Don't worry man, and 2x 5090? Wow, RTX 5060 is enough for me haha, I hope you finish the new part without any problems, good luck
Yes but until the software provides a well supported version those 2x5090 barley do anything
GPUs probably said “this game is too good for me to continue” lol. Technical difficulties with hardware is common Dev. Thank you for working so hard even when there are small blockages on the road. As always, thanks for the weekly update and happy holidays everyone!
