Hey, y'all! Pretty weird week, to be honest. One of those where it felt like I barely got shit done due to how animation heavy it was. SO! NUMBERS! WAHOO! We're finally at 1,500 images, and holy shit it was a grind to get there. I really miss 200 render weeks, and the good news is we'll probably be

Hey, y'all! SO! I finally figured out what had been causing some issues where opening scenes would insta-crash my computer, and it turned out to be a problematic shirt asset of all things. I genuinely felt like I was going insane trying to figure out if something had been corrupted or if God just di

Hey, y'all! Not much to say as it was a pretty terrible week productivity wise, but I guess the hot streak had to end at some point. I ran into a bit of a roadblock with the sports route as I have a pretty similar scene that touches on the same themes and subject as one in the music route, so I've b

Hey, y'all! Pretty productive week, and back-to-back 200+ render weeks, which is cool. After finishing that Alyssa scene, I moved on to music route shenanigans. I know I shouldn't be biased as the developer, but they're probably my favorite scenes to work on, mainly because of how stupid they are an

Hey, y'all! This was supposed to be a happy dev update, but I forgot we're not allowed to have those. My goal was to finish a big scene involving Alyssa and reach 800 images posed and rendered, which seemed ambitious but doable at the time. I managed to get 2 out of those 3 tasks done, as the comput

Hey, y'all! Decent work week today. Unfortunately had to rewrite a bunch of my script which caused a minor delay, but aside from that, we ballin. I wish I had anything interesting to say, but I don't. Probably a good thing as it means things are going well. Numbers are now 580 images and 7 animation

Hey, y'all! So, last week I mentioned I was working on a Leslie scene, and it's been going GOOD! GREAT! EXCELLENTLY! SUPERBLY! Which is a very, very, very bad thing. I've just now realized how fucking massive her route is gonna be this chapter and it made me sick to my stomach. I'm tired of big upda

Hey, y'all! Boring ass week as I sort of went through the motions. I did get to animate, which was fun for a bit... until it wasn't. ANYWAY, I'M WORKING WITH LESLIE NOW SO NO MORE DEGENERATE ANIMATIONS, ONLY CUDDLING AND BLUSHING FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. Numbers are now up to 230 images and 7 ani

Hey, y'all! (Chapter 8 is now available to the All-Star tier! Go check that out if you haven't already!) This week was a really weird one. The first half felt extremely unproductive, as I have this really bad tendency of measuring my progress in renders, and I barely got any done. Instead, I chose t

Hey, y'all! So, instead of giving numbers imma just give you a rundown what is and isn't finished. Alyssa content - Rendered and tested✅ Athena content - Rendered but not tested Brooke content - Rendered, about 25% tested. Jordan content - Rendered, about 25% tested. June content - Rendered and test

Hey, y'all! Not much to say, but we're at 5,843 images, 205 animations, and REALLY FUCKING CLOSE TO RELEASE. All renders are done (posing-wise, still some in the queue waiting for the PC to render it), so now all efforts go to wrapping up the coding and sending the game over to testers. Might be thi

Hey, y'all! Still at the end stage, and mannnnnnnn, making an update of this size is such a pain. I've never taken this long to test and code stuff into the game. Worst part, is I apparently forgot to put a bunch of renders in the queue, so I don't notice they're missing until I'm testing a scene an

Hey, y'all! Numbers are now 5,680 images and 197 animations. I'm surprised by just how many renders I still have left. It's like every time I test a new scene it turns out my ADHD skipped a part when rendering because I either didn't feel like making it at the time or figured I'd deal with it later.

Hey, y'all! Knocking down some more scenes, this time it was June's route, which I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Some of my favorite looking stills and animations in this next update, so I'm excited for you guys to see it (seriously, please play June's route or I'll cry). The numbers are no

Hey, y'all! Blah, blah, blah, finished testing, rendering, and adding audio to Leslie's scene, but aside from that, things are still much the same, in a way. Still testing, still proofreading, still rendering, and still disappointed by how long this update has taken. Numbers are 5,540 renders, 184 a

Hey, y'all! This one is a bit later than I usually like to post these, but I was locked in on fixing my dogshit writing and code all day, so writing this update just slipped my mind. Good news! I'm running out of stuff to render! Bad news! It means I'm close to reaching the finish line (for real thi

Hey, y'all! We had a pretty great start to the week, and got a good amount of work done, but unfortunately the developer of this game is named TakoYuh, so we couldn't possibly allow such a thing to continue. I ran out of script, so I had to dust off and wipe the rust off the gears that control the a

Hey, y'all! Went back and picked June's scene back up this week to see if I could wrap the whole thing up after previously working on it at a sluggish pace due to a lack of inspiration and motivation, or whatever. It's been going aight, and I actually like where I ended up taking the scene, but the

Hey, y'all! This week was pretty crazy, as I managed to hit all my goals and even do 2-3x the amount of work I usually get done, but I'm still facing an extremely annoying and inconvenient bottleneck... and that's my hardware. When I mention my numbers in these dev updates, I only count the stuff th

Hey, y'all! Still on my Sisyphus shit. Cursed to pose butt renders for eternity. Render count is currently sitting at 4,666 images, and 160 animations. Unfortunately the slow ass, hoe ass, trifling ass PC couldn't get all of the 250-ish scenes I posed fully rendered, so no ego boost via inflated num

Hey, y'all! This was perhaps the most filler episode coded week of all time. Not much worth talking about as I spent half the week building environments for this Thena scene I kept putting off for the whole dev cycle as I knew it'd be a pain to make (it was). Anyway, blah, blah, who cares. Where the

Hey, y'all! I've been on my beta tester shit and I am DYING. The game looks pretty and some scenes are cute, but I am 🤏THIS CLOSE🤏 to crashing out cos every time you fix a typo or change a line in Ren'Py, the sound channels restart, so I've been hearing the same 10 seconds of the same song for hou

Hey, y'all! I am FINALLY FREE from animating! Bad news is I immediately jumped into another scene I forgot also had a lewd scene, so after a short sprint with a good amount of still image work, back to animating I go. Normally this would mean I'd want to lock myself in my bathroom and cry, but my ne

Hey, y'all! Another boring ass week, but I guess that's a good thing as it means nothing crazy happened. Unfortunately for me, it was a week full of animation and staring at shaking cannons and dump trucks for 80 hours. Pure torture. Anyway, not much to say, so lemme get straight to what you probabl

Hey, y'all! You know what makes me slightly agitated? Having to re-render animations. You know what fills my brain with itchy scratchy stuffing when it should be full of sugar cookie dough? Having to re-render animations more than once. You know what makes me want to lock myself in a room and listen

Hey, y'all! Been a terrible week for me, if I'm being honest. Productivity has been shit, and scene fatigue is real. Currently working on a big ole scene that has hit the 400 render mark, and will likely be above 600. Pretty fucking massive. Anyway, no more bitching and complaining. Numbers are now

Hey, y'all! I just wanna start by saying I'm an idiot who needs to start checking my work schedule before I set goals for myself. My dumbass didn't know I had animation work coming up, so I couldn't render 200 images even if I worked 24/7 on them due to only being on a single PC and animations hoggi

Hey, y'all! Pretty uneventful week if I'm being honest. Lotta thuggin and posing what might be a top 3 scene visually in this release, and maybe in the whole game. I wasn't really planning on making this scene, but decided it would be fun to make, and a dope addition to the game, so you better fucki

Hey, y'all! The worst part about being incredibly locked in one week, is that it makes your normal weeks look like shit in comparison. This week I worked on three scenes and jumped between them whenever I got bored or encountered a minor inconvenience. Those scenes were Kat's usual mini-arc, June's/

Hey, y'all! I've been locked the FUCK in lately. So much so, that I'm gonna temporarily drop my self-deprecation gimmick for the week so I can talk my shit and pop my collar for a bit. I got 235 images, 1 animation, and even managed to fit a full day of RnR this week while I let shit render out. Sur

Hey, y'all! Readers of TakoYuh™️ dev updates, I just wanna go ahead and say FUCK lewd scenes, dawg. These little shits got me so tight, cos it makes my weekly numbers look tiny, and I'm just never happy with the result. Maybe it's 'cause I've been staring at this girl's tits for a whole week, but I

Hey, y'all! I ain't gonna lie to y'all, man. I've been slacking, and it pisses me off. The render count is only up to 2,975 and 101 animations. Even though some of the animations I made are a bit different from what I'm used to, it's still no excuse for me sitting on my ass all week. A lot of what I

Hey, y'all! If you've only played Westview, you might think I always do over the top and silly bullshit. If you read my dev updates, you would know I also love keeping shit simple and clean™️. When it comes to my 3D workflow, I usually opt for the latter, as it helps me stay in a nice rhythm and jus

Hey, y'all! This week was mostly spent in a never ending cycle of writing, editing my script, removing planned renders to avoid doing a million images for short scenes, then bashing my head against the wall in Daz. The numbers are now up to 2,550, and 87 animations. That's 6 less images than I had h

Hey, y'all! So, now that the holidays are over, and I've dealt with a major personal situation, I should hopefully be back on track and going full speed from now on. I was looking at my render total, and the estimate I had going into this release, and it's safe to say this will end up being way bigg

Hey, y'all! I was mildly tempted to delay this post till tomorrow to sort of have a goofy ass NY shitpost, but I decided that was too corny, even for me. Anyway, happy holidays, cuties. Hope you all had a lovely time with your loved ones. Now onto the stuff you follow this account for! The numbers a

Hey, y'all! After being in a state of despair and depression for the past week, I decided to stop being bitch made and lock the FUCK in. I looked at the scenes my dumb ADHD ass kept putting off for one reason or another, and decided to dive right into them even if I absolutely hated every part of it

Hey, y'all! I said I was going to aim for 300 renders this week, but in a dumb twist of fate that was 99% my fault, something happened in my personal life that basically means the latter half of this month will in fact, be fucked. Anyway, I ain't gonna dance around it, and just tell you I barely got

Hey, y'all! This coming week is my last chance at locking in for the month, and I gotta make up for the fact that I won't be around development stuff for most of the latter half of this month. It's pretty much an impossible task, as with my recent average of 150-200 renders a week, I'd have to get 3

Hey, y'all! Fellas, lads, chaps. I think I might be the problem. I couldn't meet my goal of 200 renders this week, as I got 195 instead. This is unacceptable and I have voluntarily signed myself up for the cheap labor at the coal mines and the oil rigs. Whoever will take me first. Anyway, currently

Hey, y'all! Don't have any silly or goofy things to say this week as I feel like complete and utter dogshit. The numbers are up to 1,645 images, which is 60 renders or so lower than I would've liked, and feel like a fraud because of it. Gonna push for 200 images again next week, as 140 ain't gonna c

Hey, y'all! Got a lot of work done this week, even if the total numbers won't show it 'cos render times are once again holding the queue back. Brooke's first sort of section or whatever is done, so I had to go back and start Jordan's side of the branching, which has gone fucking phenomenally as I'm

Hey, y'all! My dear friends, I regret to inform you that I have not, in fact, gotten 6,000 renders and 200 animations done this week. I am too ashamed to face anyone because of this, so this pinky-less fella will now go into hiding for the foreseeable future. Good news is, this should improve produc

Hey, y'all! I finally got the animations out of the way, and the queue can now go back to the usual output speed. Speaking of output speed, I've been somewhat disappointed by it, as I know it could be way better, and have taken measures to decrease render times as much as possible. We're currently s

Hey, y'all! I've been animating like a lunatic lately and it's genuinely making me lose my damn mind. I kinda missed working on lewd scenes before, but now I remember why they were such a pain. The good thing is I really like how it's turned out, and I've fully wrapped it up, but the bad thing is ju

Hey, y'all! I once again come to you with horrendous news. This bum ass dev couldn't even reach their own private goal for the render count. I am ashamed, humiliated, disgraced, and downright disheartened. I shall sacrifice my first born and five acres of land as an apology. Anyway, worked on Alyssa

Hey, y'all! I want to start this dev update by telling you guys just how unbelievably fucking stupid I am sometimes. Sometimes it's in a "oopsie! I'm so silly!" kind of way, but this time it was in a "How on earth does this motherfucker manage to operate and survive as a human being?" way. I can't b

Hey, y'all! Don't wanna bore y'all to death with details about everything I did this week, so imma speedrun this shit. First, I had to deal with the consequences of my dumb ass branching, and create three openings to Chapter 8, but they're all sorted and dealt with now, so we ballin'. Second, I deci
