Development Update - 06.09.2026 (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

Two more lewd scenes now have their animations finished! 😄

One of the characters gave me a particularly hard time this time around, her hair has basically become my personal nemesis. 😅 I'm still working on finding a reliable system for dealing with it, but every scene teaches me something new.

I'm constantly learning Blender, and at this point the difference compared to what I could do in DAZ is very noticeable. Sometimes I catch myself thinking that if I were still animating everything in DAZ, these scenes would probably have been finished a while ago.

But they would also be much shorter, more mechanical and nowhere near as natural.

So even though improving the animations obviously adds development time, I'm still very happy I made the switch. The new animations give me much more freedom, look better to me, and, very importantly, work much better with proper sound design.

That's unfortunately how progress works sometimes: you improve one thing and immediately discover five new things you want to improve next. 😄

I also managed to finish another small scene. I have to sneak a few normal renders in between animation sessions every now and then, otherwise I think I'd slowly go insane staring at timelines all day. 😅 Even a small scene is a surprisingly good mental reset.

I also finally gave the Race of Life website some much-needed attention. At one point I probably overcomplicated things while trying to improve SEO and somehow made everything worse instead. 😅 So I've gone back to a cleaner, more straightforward version.

In the future I'd also love to make the demo playable directly on the website in HTML. I actually already got a basic version working, but I'm still a little worried about saves and a few other technical things, so I'm putting that idea aside for now. I'll most likely come back to it after Episode 5 rather than letting another side project eat development time.

And if you have any suggestions for the website, things you'd like to see there, information that's missing, or just something you think would make it better - feel free to let me know. I may steal some of your ideas the next time I decide to mess with it. 😄

Back to Blender for me! And one more thing before I go for the Episode 5 extra render, Patrons voted for Jasmine. 😄

The render is NSFW, but this time I'm making it available starting from the Gambler tier, so I'm bending the usual rules a little bit. 😅 Let's treat it as a small exception for Episode 5!
