Dev Update! 2/5/24
Hey, hey! Hope your week's starting off right! I've spent a good portion of the day rendering a couple of annoying scenes, but they're behind me now. Hallelujah.
At present, I have right around 200 images ready for the next update, 150ish of which comprise the opening. Today I wrapped up two of the choice branches for the opening, leaving just one more to do. After that, I'll be getting into some saucy content with one of the main girls -- which I'm very much looking forward to. >_>
I've had a big annoyance with this opening scene, which is that the brick texture I picked for the room.. Looks like garbage. I'd used it before for distance shots, and it'd looked fine. But up close? Blehhhh.. It's pixelated, artifact-y, and just.. Not great. I thought I could work around it with some depth of field tricks, but ultimately it's become kind of a giant headache. Adding to the headache is the fact that the texture wraps on this one wall in a super weird and stupid way!
Soooo, I'm resigned to eventually redoing these renders. It's not a huge deal to redo them, since I can just re-texture stuff and then set the renders to process while I'm at work, sleeping, etc.. But, it's annoying. And I know you're thinking, "Neon, why not just do it now?" Well, because it'd be a little discouraging in the short-term, and it'd kind of screw up my whole workflow. So, I'd rather just do them all later.
Just know that when you play the next chapter and notice the goofy background: I know it looks bad, but it's not permanent.
Besides that, things are going well! Having a full section of the chapter finished is always super encouraging. Adding to that sense of encouragement, soon I'll be moving into some story sections that are a bit easier to pose, and I should be able to blast through some renders.
I'll leave you with that for now! I've got a few dozen renders queued up that need to process tonight, so I'm going to turn my PC over to Daz for the next few hours. As always, take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!

Will there be finally a full go scene with Mason?.... next update release date approx ?..... preg scene Mason any plans ?
Next update *will* have an ero scene with Mason. I'm still working on the release date, but likely mid-March? I'll be sure to announce it as I get closer. As for pregnancy -- most of those scenes will occur more near the end-game, just due to some of the logistical hurdles it presents.
will there be content with Nicki?
This next one won’t have a lot of Nicki. Guy will have a short phone conversation with her, but that’s about it.
You could also put some kind of Picture or Corner-Pillar in front of it
Just throw nudes of Gabby, we won't notice the walls. 🙃
Ooh, I’ll just retexture the wall with images of Gabby. Brilliant!
