[Move The Chains] | S01E05.P2 | Play Sheet #21

Apparently I totally forgot this existed as I missed the first one like a Shaq on a free throw.

There's not a whole lot to say thus far. We're at roughly 120 renders. It's been a busy month for IRL work, which has hindered some of the dev speed of the last cycle. But I should be able to pick up a bit more here soon.

Nice to have some football back, even if refs can't figure out what a hold or a fumble is. Some crazy games along with the usual week one sloppiness. That Ohio and Texas game was wild, too. Anyways, onto a minor dev-related update...

I am experimenting with some ideas and techniques to visually enhance renders. Here's a very rough/basic idea:

I've tried with several renders, and I think it's definitely upping the realism. But this would be a move decided heavily by player feedback. The far right would be the final version in case it wasn't especially obvious. This doesn't really extend dev time at all outside of some masking in PS, which I do anyways during post.

This is very much will be a supporter/player decided move, as mentioned. Expect a poll and some extra examples soon for both supporters and public. Obviously the former will be weighted a bit more, but the public players will also get their piece in.

• Loose render count, as mentioned, is 120 or so renders made. Haven't done any real rendering yet. No real point unless there's a larger batch to do.

• There are, however, a couple of non-lewd animations done. Simpler stuff with some camera movement. The first lewd scene is already blocked out. Obviously the animations themselves will come later, along with the if/else renders for rejections and such.

• Won't spoil for those that haven't played the newer update yet, but I imagine it'll be similar. Maybe a loose short scene, but still quite similar to the last update.

• Will start translating through P1 for French and Russian soon here. As previously mentioned, languages will be polled following those.

Not a whole lot else to add right now given the general early stages of development, obviously. Yes, I'm aware it's a really short Play Sheet, just genuinely not a lot to say right now. More of a proof-of-life post with some updates on where we're at.

I've gotta run out for a few errands. Once I get back, I'll fix some of the remaining minor bugs caught by earlier supporters and upload new copies (along with the Steam version, but that's a lot faster).

Given the lack of rendered material, we'll hold off on previews for this Play Sheet.
