Dev update #75 (Patreon)

Hi, everyone. I have good news!

Just got it yesterday. This thing is huge) Thank you, guys. To each of you. Without you, it wouldn't have been possible. I can't even express how happy I am right now. I'm so grateful. From 2060 Super with 8 GB to this beast... I can't wait to work on new scenes and animations :) It will make my life so much easier and a much better game overall. Unfortunately, I haven't got a new case yet, and this thing doesn't fit in my current one. So I'll have to wait a bit before I can test it.

While preparing for building almost a new PC, I decided to transfer part of my library to a new SSD. My main files have been stored on an old 500GB SSD, and it was almost full. My library is also connected to dropbox, so everything is synced with the cloud. It took some time to transfer and sync with the cloud. But imagine the look on my face when I opened a new drive the next day, and it was empty. As well as the old one. I almost had a heart attack. I rushed to my dropbox to check if the files were still there, and thankfully they were. I forgot to update my sync options, so what it basically did was it transferred from drive to drive, uploaded to a new folder in dropbox and then deleted it from the drive... Anyway, it took me a few days to sort everything out before I could return to work. And then I faced new issues coz some of the file paths has changed, and I had to update some of the presets for characters, textures and stuff like that. Long story short, this is what I've been dealing with this week. Creating problems and then solving them. I don't think I'll ever have to repeat it, as the new SSD has 2TB, and it's more than enough. I have an HDD where the second part of the library is stored and where I transfer files which I don't really need on an everyday basis. I may want to update it as well, a bit later, but there shouldn't be such problems with it.

Now, even though I've been dealing with all this hardware stuff, I still made some progress on writing and art. I expanded the 3rd scene a little bit. Added a few different paths to diversify the gameplay based on a girl you like. As for the previous scene that I decided to skip until I upgrade my PC, I'd like to also expand it a bit. But I'm not sure if it's necessary. It's a simulation scene with a completely new scenario. When it's necessary to have it story-wise, I'm not sure if it needs to have different options. Some people said they'd like more freedom during these simulations. For example, choose how to act, which way to go etc. I think I'll do a poll on that in a few days. I always believe it's better to spend time working on lewd scenes and animations rather than adding different paths for such scenes. But if it's something you'd like to have, I'll figure something out. Besides, with a new GPU it won't be such a problem. As long as I don't go crazy with it and will keep everything short and neat. 

It's hard to stay focused on all at once, so I decided to postpone postwork and coding until I finish with my PC upgrade and will have a decent render queue for 4090. The same goes for outfit polls. There's still a lot of work to do, so it's not my priority right now. 

Current total numbers*: 190 renders and 7 animations.

*The numbers are approximate.

I'll work on the anniversary render and regular special renders next week. This month's wallpaper is already here, take a look if you missed it. 

Have a nice week and stay safe!
