Devlog #11: Crashes and Threesomes (Patreon)

For those who got better stuff to do than read my rants: I'm halfway there with rendering, technical difficulties slowed me down, 17 special renders for Roommates and above on Sunday.With that out of the way, hi! How's it going? Are you keeping yourself healthy? The rendering process is progressing slowly, I'll get to why later.Render count is now at 403 of the projected 800, projection that might need to be adjusted AGAIN 'cause there's a threesome that is getting close to 100 renders by itself and it's still missing the top variant.People will be reading the amount of render in the changelog, then play the game and be like "where the hell are all these new renders?" 'cause they are getting spread out through all possible paths.Now, the other good news: supporter rewards! This sunday I'll be uploading the promised pack with all the new 1080p renders used to make the new main menu, plus one unused one, plus a very cute and wholesome scene, plus 2 phone wallpaper renders of MC and Emi in both SFW and NSFW version, to a total of 17 items! So, earlier I mentioned problems and slowdowns. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, I'm kinda fucked.This past week ol' reliable mini-pc has slowed down considerably, it freezes and crashes at random and is generally being a pain in the ass to work with. My rendering output has been cut by a third on average (and in some days even more) and I'm trying to squeeze any render time I can from my daily schedule.Hopefully it'll chug along until at least the end of the chapter, but if the worst happens (and I'm bracing for it) I just want you to be aware that I will let you all know immediately, stop all payments and release whatever I have managed to make, before putting everything on hiatus. I have no way of replacing it for the foreseeable future, so it'll be game over.I seriously hope it won't come to that, but life has a way to kick you while you're down, so I honestly won't be surprised to see the thing that has given me more pride and joy in the past 10 years being yanked away from me. But at least we can be sure that the game will have AN ending, 'cause the early one has already been rendered. That's about it, send your thoughts and prayers to this little fucker below (or any booze you can find to me) and I'll see you this Sunday for the cutest pics you'll see all weeks!
