Development Update Chapter 1 Part 3 (Patreon)

Hi everyone, and good day to you,

Scene 15 is in the books. I have completed it, and I am moving on. It is a massive scene, comprising over 850 renders, 14 new soundtracks, and 18 new SFX. It's also a very important scene in the game because it provides a glimpse of the MC's past, which affects the story and gives you a better understanding of his character.

During the process of assembling the pieces, I found a significant number of renders that I had posed but hadn't even hit the render button, or had forgotten to add to the queue. Therefore, the render count increases with every scene.

Scene 16 is also in the books. It's a small scene with 60 renders. However, it introduces us to a new character and mentions additional content. Additionally, as I aim for realism, I have added several new SFX to this scene.

Scene 17 is underway—another big scene with over 450 renders—continuation of the story, along with some naughty content as well. It has eight animations, so I am post-editing the images and putting them together to create a video. So, 7 out of 8 animations are ready for use, and one needs to be re-rendered because it was fixed, and another one needs to be rendered (I forgot about it).

That brings us to more than 1000 renders already implemented in the code, which is about half of the render count.

As I worked on scene 17, I found that all of Lauren's special gallery renders were already in use. So, I need to create Dianna's. I'll make them as I encounter them. I make just enough to fit the remaining images that will fill her gallery. I also added a gallery video to see the hover effect.

Also, I know it's not something people are interested in, but I had some issues with Gitlab. It rejected a large file of a nice cutscene I created. So it took some time to resolve it. Wish I didn't have to deal with it. However, this is a standard part of any development process. And I haven't solved it yet. However, I'll save it for after the release.

Renders

I created two custom renders this week. One is still private. But it might be published. So stay tuned. It's worth the wait.
Another one is a custom for the vice president tier - Lauren.
Another Lauren render is available here for paying supporters. Get it here.

Previews

Dianna's first gallery render is here for Senior+ tier members.

Polls

It's a tie! Mercy and Lauren tied in first place. This is the second time Mercy and Lauren will appear in the same render.
I think it's just right to create a render with both of them.

That's all for this week.
Thank you for reading and have a great weekend.
