Spook’s Progress Posting #18 – Welcome to the Hotel Pennsylvania (Patreon)

♫ … Such a lovely place. (Lovely place). Such a lovely face… ♫

Ha-ha! For once, a completely different kind of Eagles reference from the Spooky fella, can you believe? Ah, but we’ll get to that below, we will.

It’s been another week in the beWilderverse, and the first full week of the version as foretold by our Handover post a few days back, and the backer’s bonus too, so let’s talk what progress it’s brought for all our tickles and giggles, shall we?

Goal: The week’s goal was to get 27 CGs made for Scene 1, a higher target than most starter weeks, but the aim was to break out on a strong pace from the beginning.

Accomplished: The final tally of  just a few hours ago saw the week get us 31 CGs closer to complete, not bad at all!

My goal was to get to the 75% mark of Scene 1 this week, and that was reached, breached and pushed on a little further. I’m happy with that as a good first week of progress. I even got a big all the CGs made this week rendered out, and a fistful of them Post-Prod as well, so that’s all cherry on top. The only downside of this week was my work-sleep cycle for this week wasn’t ideal, which squeezed some of the work week out on me. I was hoping to also get the Gameplays last week text prepped and mounted in the engine, there by giving us progress on all 5 of our bars, but there’s just not time enough for it this week. Knowing that, let’s look at the bars and get a glance at how things stack up after the week.

Already racking up the progress for what is a pretty large and heated version, so things are off to a good start. We’re already close enough to the 33% mark that we’ll see the Public Teaser soon, but that will likely be the week after next, see why below. That’s the next milestone to jump on, full steam ahead!

That’s the status and the state of play then, for all that like to know but not see too much, a-thank you for coming by! Time to jump below the line into some tease for the rest of us!

[From This Point On, Beware of Potential SPOILERS]

---

I’m going to sprinkle in the tease lightly this week, as I build up the heat over time as we reach towards the next big release, plus I don’t want to spoil too much for the Bold beWildernauts who will get the latest taste of Noemi in a week’s time. Even so, I’m sure a few folks will be excited just by the insinuation of what I’ve to show you…

… Welcome to the Hotel Pennsylvania! (Aka The Vista Penn William)

Most will learn during the Public Teaser, but for you beWildernauts I’ll break the news now: This version will once again see a Brad content scene added, but just the 1, as we also turn attention back to other arcs we’ve not seen in a while (and I’ve yet to get my fingers in).

As much delish delight we had in v0.25, there’s still 1 rather big thing for us to experience in the Brad side of the game, isn’t there? Well, we’ll see it soon, we will. Our couple will check in, but by the time they check out 1 will be a lot happier than the other, I guarantee.

1 more teasing thing to say about this scene: I’ve already got up to and past the cummy shooting part, and for this scene I decided to try a little something different to most before, making it almost a full PoV shot. I’m interested to see how well it works for the fans. Keep an eye out for that won’t you?

Misc News

A couple little bits of Misc News this week, 1 beWilder, and 1 beyond:

1) The poll in last week’s post on the gameplays news post is still going. It has been interesting to see more than most are interested to learn more about the thought processes going on over on that side of the game. It may be some Survivor Plan Bias in that the people who read these posts are already inclined to more fandom than the average supporter, and more interested overall, but even so, the number voting yes is encouraging. I’ll let the poll run to it’s end, but if there’s enough yes support by the end, even if it didn’t win, I’ll likely do the post anyways. I plan on handling things like that after NTR v0.26’s release and before the Christmas holidays, so keep an ear open around then. Got to get the game updated first!

2) It’s Presidential Election day here in Ireland. We pick a new Head of State today, to serve for the next 7 years. 2 things are certain in this election, no matter what way it goes: We’ll have a woman president again, and we won’t have a Nazi/crazy fascist type as has been the worry for a lot of places around Europe lately. I’m happy with both of those. Aside from that, no matter which candidate wins we’ll get a milquetoast new Pres to keep the wheels turning. Ask anyone in Ireland and they’ll tell you if they combined all the candidates into 1 being they still wouldn’t have enough charisma to beat the outgoing President’s dog in a race, but things could be worse. Anyways, that’s enough politics, just figured y’all might enjoy that little news and insider view… I’m not even sure our nation elections would make the news anywhere else in the world.

The Week Ahead

Alrighty then, back to the wildness! The plan for next week is simple enough: Continue, make progress, and report on it. Next week is a shorter week as Monday is a national holiday, the last of the year until Christmas/New Years, so I’m taking that into account when I set the target for 20-22 CGs this time. The finish line for Scene 1 should be well within reach for next week, but Scene 2 is going to be the biggest scene yet to tackle, the first we’ll see reach into the 50s CG wise. It’s going to take all of the week after next to deal with and likely a little more, so this week coming will be about getting a start on that, but also getting a start on the Texts and Engine side of things too. Since it didn’t happen this week, next week I’d like to get at least the new gameplays playable and in the pool, so let’s see what we can do across all those goal items in the 4 days to come in the next go around the bend, shall we?

So that was the week that was #18! Can y’all feel the warm smell of Colitas rising up in the air yet? Well we’ll be living it up at the Hotel Pennsylvania before we know it if we keep seeing weeks like this, so onward, to the next! Until then…
