Corporate Development Memo 4/27/2025
Hi everyone!
Hope all had a great weekend!
I will apologize in advance for the stupidity of my update this week in that I went WAY overboard with the sub poll. I spent this week with Anais quite a bit about a lot of stuff and we ended up working on the sub poll together. We had so much fun doing it (my happiest time working on KG were Episode 5 and parts of Episode 6 when she was helping me a lot) and the combination of nostalgia and fun just carried over to a little extra work as I honestly was just enjoying hanging out with her in this specific context/workflow. We've always clicked better out of the office as I tend to have to be a bit more professional/formal and so does she but here...way more friend/peer relationship versus subordinate/boss. So I really enjoyed it.
Long story short, here is the update for the week.
1) Game Renders:
60 renders --> now just over 1,200 renders after 12 weeks so basically maintaining 100 per week ok. I didn't do as many game renders because of the sub poll which is very typical and especially this week as we did too many (sorry!) but overall, did way more than 100 renders for everything. The first five sample images are from this part of the work this week. The 60 renders were all on the sub path as that's what I am working on for likely the next 2-3 weeks or so give or take maybe one scene on dom side. (dom is a bit ahead overall right now in story renders)
Added about 10 more animations overall. I think I formally have about 21 right now but I usually don't track this too hard until I'm getting closer to the update itself being ready. (always last as most know to place in the game and usually not in the Test Version)
I did 72 sub poll renders (yeah...) so technically did 132 renders overall.
2) Sub Poll
I had already done 18 prior renders, and added another 72 (I know!) and some are still rendering because I have a few that are "screens" in a theatre and you kind of have to render the "screens" first and then place them in another render in the actual theatre room. So it's a bit more work. The entire set is going to be 92 renders in three locations 13 in spot 1, 34 in spot 2, and 44 in spot 3. I know this is overkill and I apologize but I really just had a lot of nostalgia and good vibes working with Anais like the old days so we just did a bit more this time. I admit this wasn't the best game week for work so I'll try and do more when free time gets better.
The images after the first five are samples from two of the three locations. (spots 2 and 3)
I should be able to release all images within the next day or two -- just one last big set rendering. I'm not sure if I can even do that many images in a post (92) so I may do a zip file or multiple posts worst case. I only know Patreon has a 25 option limit on polls but no clue on images so I'll find out soon enough!
3) RTX 5090
So just recently I was given the impression from two big game devs that 5 series cards were a long way away for Daz Studio support but now they just released an Alpha build that DOES support these cards. It will still take a bit of time to get it nice and ready for public release, but this changes my plans to get a second RTX 4090 system. Now I think I will wait a bit and just go with my original plan to get a nice RTX 5090 system when Daz is workable with it. I am most worried about my current plugins and other little programs that may lose support with a huge change in their code, etc. But we'll see. I'll figure it out and still have a 3090 here for emergency backup rendering. (I still have it rigged to an old AMD 5950x system)
4) Dom Poll
The poll looks like the office won! I'm looking forward to working on this set after the sub one is done! I will NOT go overboard this time even if Anais tries, heh. But I'll still try and make it a a very good set and longer than my planned 25ish as now it would seem pathetic in comparison. (But to be fair, the sub poll has some fluff shots meaning I could have skipped some to just go all out only kink content, it's a little more like game renders to me, flowing...)
5) Time to relax tonight!
I've promised her as a favor to try a game she loves right now and she's coming over to make sure I do that lol. So I'll take a little mental break tonight before sleeping and then kind of focus back on the grind again. I slept in really late this morning (I almost always wake up between 9-10am most days by habit so afternoon is late for me heh) and loved it so have a bit more energy right now!
Please have a great week all and I hope you enjoy the set coming soon, and I'm looking forward to the dom one too!
