Development update - Chapter 1 Part 4B (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

Another hectic week in real life. Next week should be quieter. I'm writing this while listening to a new track I have for the last scene, and I am amazed by it. It fits my vision so well that it's actually touching me; it's like it was created for this specific scene. It hits me hard. I hope it hits you hard, as it has for me, or at least you will enjoy it as much as I do. The hardest part is that I know I'll only use it at the very end of this scene, and I need to wait until everything is ready before rendering the music-related part. Other than that, I find myself putting so much effort into the visuals in this scene. Most people don't realize how many resources wet scenes take from the hardware in terms of RAM and VRAM, and also rendering speed. And that's what I am dealing with every day. But I loved the outcome. I don't want you to think I am whining; I choose to do that. That's my choice. I will give everything I've got, even if it takes longer than expected to bring my vision to life. Sorry for the pace; I wish I could be faster for you guys. I am trying my best. I just want to share it with you. This last scene is ambitious in terms of characters and environment, and it kills my hardware from time to time. I keep closing and reopening Daz to free RAM (cause Daz is unoptimized), and sometimes I can't do anything else while the PC is rendering because it uses all 64 GB of RAM I have. I always push myself to try new things and keep things visually mixed up, so time is the price I have to pay for that. In the future, I will upgrade my machine so I won't have to deal with it.

Other than that, I finished Jisoo's part of the scene, and now I am working on Kim's part. Check the preview if you want to see some progress.

Next week, I'll be spending time answering some of the questions in the Q&A post. If you want, you can still add questions here.
