Hey all, I don't really have a progress report for you this week, since I spent launch week taking it easy and being ready to work on any quick patches that might be required. Thankfully, apart from my usual spelling errors, there doesn't appear to be any major issues with this release, so I was abl

Hey all, I'm sorry that my next post wasn't the update, as I had hoped, but regardless, I didn't want a Monday to pass by without some kind of update for you. As the image suggests, the update will start rolling out tomorrow afternoon/evening (EST). I was originally aiming to release it today, but w

Hey everyone, It's been a hectic week, but as far as I can tell, I can count the things I have left to do on a single hand. I've just been crossing my t's, dotting my i's, and wrapping everything else up. I only need to: -Finish updating the menu screens (will be done tonight) -Finish remaining subs

Hey all, I'm still heavily in the post-production phase of the update, and while it's seemingly the slowest moving, I promise it's one of the most essential. This is where I finally get a chance to see how the scenes flow together, if they need any additions or cuts, and it's one more chance for any

Hey all, It took a lot longer to get the report posted tonight because I wanted to be able to announce that I've finished with the script and coding for this release! Or at least the beta version... There's still a lot of testing and polishing that I need to complete. On top of testing, I have 2 pag

Hey all, As some of you may have noticed, I made some more animations. Although, in my defense, one was a reshoot, but I eventually decided that the original wasn't scuffed enough to be excluded from the game, so I added both versions for people to switch between. If I've learned anything this week,

Hey all, Another week down, and I can confidently say that I've finished the bulk of this update's rendering. I wrapped up what I hope are the last two animations early last week and started diving heavily into the testing and coding. You'll probably notice progress seemingly slow down over the next

Hey all, It's been a hectic week since I've had to reshoot 3 of my existing animations. Unfortunately, I made a mistake and rendered them at too high a frame rate, so most of them felt like they were in fast-forward. One of them wasn't too fast, so I was able to keep it in the game and extend the sc

Hey all, It's been a fairly solid week of development, and I finished another decent chunk of the game. I'm still having a lot of issues when trying to dive into the script and code that I need to finish, but I know that when push comes to shove (aka when I have no excuses to work on anything else),

Hey all, As you can see from the numbers, it's been a fairly productive week for development. I'm finishing a lot of animations and making good progress through the S6 content. I didn't devote as much time to testing or scripting this week, but since I seem to be having an easier time with the rende

Hey all, Relatively speaking, it was a very good week for development, though admittedly, I feel like I'm still not working at 100%. I don't know what's wrong with my head right now, but I promise I'm not happy about it either. Whatever it is, I'm trying to fix it! Thankfully, the work is moving so

Hey all, I spent the entire week on S2, and I'm happy to say that it's almost entirely complete! There was a lot of content to organize and lots of little patches to fill, but I was able to finish nearly everything! I'm probably still missing something, but I'm confident that I'm down to the last do

Hey all, I'm sorry for the late report, but I took a nap that turned into a proper sleep. I barely remembered to get up to write this, so it's going to be a short one. I wrapped up the last of the animations for scene 2, and all that's left for that scene is filling in all the cracks and testing it

Hey all, Another week down, but I was able to finish 3 animations this week, with one more nearly ready to render. This should be the last animation needed for S2 before I can finally finish wrapping up the scene. I've been testing like crazy as well, since I know that this update has taken far too

Hey all, I didn't finish a ton of testing this week, but I was finally able to start making some progress on S2. After abandoning my usual attempts to script out a scene before rendering, I tried the opposite, and I've started rendering what I want from the scene in the hopes that it will help break

Hey all, Another week has flown by, but at least I'm still making decent progress on testing. S3 and most of S1 are practically finished, though I'll need to run through them several more times before I'm satisfied. I'm still rendering and writing whatever missing pieces I find along the way, and I

Hey all, I was still having some trouble with the writing and rendering this week so I decided to work on the testing and coding instead. I think it helped spark some of my creativity again. I think one of the reasons I was having so much trouble was because I've had my nose buried in my work for so

Hey all, I'm sorry to say that I was almost entirely useless this week and it wasn't because of my back, which thankfully healed up pretty quickly after my last post. I have no valid reasons or excuses, I just couldn't concentrate on anything. Maybe it's burnout, maybe it's stress, maybe it's writer

Hey all, I need to keep this short because of an injury. Long story short, I messed up my back and I've been stuck in bed most of the weekend. It's difficult to sit or stand for too long, but I'm doing what I can from within the haze of these painkillers. I haven't continued as much with S2 as I had

Hey Homies, I hope you're all doing well! It's been another difficult week, but I don't have much to report on that, so I'll just get straight into the report. I dove into S6 this week and I'm nearly finished with one of its two scenes already. It is the smaller of the two scenes, but I'm still happ

Hey all, I finally finished rendering S5, though I'm sure there are some missing pieces somewhere that I just haven't spotted yet. Also, there's still some coding and script work needed, so I left a sliver of that scene unfinished in the image. Thankfully, S2 is only a single split-scene (a scene wi

Hey all, It's been another wild week of uncertainty in the world, but I was still able to bury my head in the sand and get a lot of work done. Scene 5 only has one small section remaining. I estimate that there are another 20 renders or so before I can move on to one of the other scenes. So far, I'm

Hey everyone, I can't believe it's already been another week. Time doesn't seem to work the same after the pandemic... Well, at least the seemingly short time wasn't wasted. I finished 2 animations this week, along with another large chunk of script and code, leaving scene 5 nearly finished. I shoul

Hey all, Sorry for the late post, but I've been busy dealing with some BS. I'll spare most of the details, but once again, one of Windows' Mandatory updates has messed up my PC and I spent most of the weekend trying to undo the damage. My Bluetooth is completely non-functional, my PC has frozen seve

Hey Homies, This was another good week for progress. I pumped out a big chunk of renders and practically finished S5. I was able to cut a little fat from the scene since it was redundant, created better buildup for later in the story, and possibly most importantly because I'm likely adding additiona

Hey all, It's been a little while since I've been able to say this, but it was a really good week! With a lot of the heavy lifting already done for S5, it's been much easier to focus on the actual scene. It's still been a learning experience, with more than a few reshoots along the way... As I menti

Hey all, I dove back into s5 this week, and although it was a pain, I got a lot of the heavy lifting done to make the scene crafting much quicker. To clarify, this is a scene that needs a lot of background characters that would usually slow down my PC a lot. In the end, I didn't have any other optio

Hey Homies, It's been a long week so I'll try to keep things short. I've been smashing my head against the wall for half the week trying to figure out how to write/shoot S5. I've had to rethink the scene several times trying to make things work properly. Without spoiling anything, it's the first tim

Hey Homies, Another week flew by at 4x the desired speed and I have another report of mostly uninteresting updates for you. Honestly, It feels like last Monday was only 3 days ago, it's so frustrating but there's no point in complaining about it. On to the report... A lot of my week was spent trying

Hey all, It was another decent week, but not too much to report so I'll try to keep things a little more brief than last week's report. I'm still juggling some scenes around and updating the report as I go. So, if you're confused about why it's been showing different numbers for the past 3 weeks, th
