Progress Report (#18)
Hello everyone. It's time for another progress update. Here is a breakdown on what has happened since the last one.
Renders and Animations:
I have been focusing more on animations than renders since the last progress update and I am about 70% done with them. The renders are about 80% done. I have released an alpha for the Reviewers on my discord to play test which contains all the work done so far so. It is 1800+ renders and 32 animations.
Miscellaneous:
Nothing much has changed here. Just nibbling away at the minor side things to flesh out the world and bring the update together. These are low priority as they will take a brief time to finish so I'm saving them for last.
Other Projects:
The comics are still coming. They'll just be released later in the year. With my work schedule, I really only have time to work properly on any of my projects during the weekend so I am focusing on the Visual Novel over the comics since those are much easier to make.
Industry News:
The anti-nsfw campaign continues and the latest victim right now is RenderHub. They've removed nsfw/adult content from their marketplace. This change was abrupt and poorly received. Now the only real place to get any adult assets for DAZ Studio outside of piracy is Renderotica which has its own issues. It seems some people won't be happy until they kill nsfw as a source of income for everyone.
Conclusion:
Development remains slow due to my time consuming and physically demanding job but I am still working and this project is not abandoned. Like I said, going forward it'll be smaller updates that'll come sooner even if it means not every update will have a sex scene. I have gotten some feedback though regarding animations. Some people close to me have suggested forgoing animations for now and just pumping out renders then going back to add the animations later in the story or at the end. I am averse to this but I want to hear your opinions here or on discord.
Thank you and enjoy your day.
Until Next Time,
Sumatra 3D

Hi! Thanks a lot for all your hard work. I’m really looking forward to the next update of Campus Lyfe! Regarding animations — please don't drop them! Honestly, very few people will replay the game just to see animations added later. They really need to be included right away. Even if an update turns out a bit smaller, it’s much better to have a complete and polished release. Also, the release cycle definitely needs to be shorter. 1.5 years is VERY long, and at this pace, people might simply forget about the game. It’s much better to release smaller updates more frequently, as long as they come with animations included.
This is so good your visuals are so clean

I love your renders your characters. And the way you write
