Serenity C2 Episode 5 (Devlog 2)

Hello my friends! I finally finished going through and editing the script for this episode. I'm really excited to start rendering on this again. I've already started on some of that, so I have quite a big head start. I am looking to release this thing around the end of next month.

I've been trying a few new things this time... things I haven't done before. Some of it experimenting a bit to see how it looks. This mostly includes more dialogue during animations (you can still click the middle mouse button to turn off the UI or turn it back on). Also trying out the classic white flash screen during orgasms. When this comes out, let me know what you think or if you still prefer the good old fashioned shake screen effect. I've got a mix of both methods in this upcoming update. Also trying a bit of 'shake screen' during animations at key points. I don't know how this will go over with you guys, but I'll be listening if people hate it or not and make changes if necessary.

Serenity has a lot of sex in every episode so it can be challenging, but I am also trying to make those scenes last a bit longer. After playing several other VN's during my off time, I saw how much I needed to improve my own. There are some really talented HS and HS2 devs out there. The things these guys are doing with animations now are nothing short of impressive... So I have my work cut out for me. Needless to say, I am still proud and happy with what I've been able to do so far with my animations and graphics work. I can only get better as we keep moving forward.

Aside from animations and graphics, I am of course also trying to improve my writing. Mainly, to slow down a bit for scenes and let some dialogue and activities build the scene, so to speak. Early Serenity was very fast, no question about it. Character development just wasn't there or needed a lot of improvement. With Serenity ending soon, there is a chance I may come back and improve it. It would be a lot of work though. Because I tend to create a new render for each line of dialogue... there is a LOT of images to either redo or fit more in between if I edit what is there. This is something I'll think about later.

While on the subject of Serenity ending soon... Many of you ask about my plans once Serenity Chapter 2 is completed. I've pretty much laid them out before but can't hurt to say again for people that may have only joined us recently. So, to start with, Serenity Chapter 2 will either end with episode 7 or 8. It just depends on how I choose to write the ending. Yes, I am planning some pregnancy content though I am not sure if there will be sex scenes with pregnant girls yet. I definitely want to have an ending where we see each of the six main girls with the baby you made with them. I think it would be fun to see that. In thinking about that, it might make for an interesting third game later based on a new MC... the son that takes over, with a completely new set of girls and completely different plot. This is something I imagined from way back and now that we're getting closer to the ending, I can see a lot of potential for that to happen. But we'll see. There are still some other projects I want to do before I do something like that.

With Serenity completed, all focus will be on Last Human's first season. It will have 8 episodes. With episode 6 recently released, we only have 2 to go. As most of you know, I've been working on another title based on Camilla titled 'Princess of Chaos' which will be a bit more down to earth. It will go back to her past, with you as the boyfriend she had back then (mentioned by her recently in episode 4). It will be a single game with 6 to 8 episodes. I have mostly written the first 2 episodes already and I love how it is going so far. Beyond PoC, I am not sure yet. I do have a project called Viral Affair that I really want to do something with, but I can never tell what I'm going to be drawn to until the time comes.

Needless to say, if you stick with me, I have tons of stuff planned and a lot of content yet to write. Hopefully, the more I do this, the better I will get and the more of you guys will hang out and support. Being retired from that full-time job has really been freeing. Anyway, that's all I have for now my friends... Love you all! ...Fire
