Dev Update! (Patreon)

Hey guys!

Let me start with the technical stuff, which unfortunately is also the bad news...

I thought I had solved my crashing issues, but the GPU is still acting up. At this point, it's basically a coin flip whether it crashes or not.

I can still create scenes and pose characters, but once I switch to Iray (for those who don’t know, that’s the preview mode to see how the final render will look), there’s about a 50% chance the whole thing will crash.

And don’t even get me started on overnight renders...I can’t count how many times I woke up just to find out it crashed halfway through.

Needless to say, this is making things extremely difficult.

I’ve ordered some new pads and thermal paste, and I’ll try replacing them when they get here, hoping it will fix the issue. If not, I’ll probably have to bite the bullet and get a new GPU just to be able to keep working.

Game Progress

Putting the technical issues aside, this update is going to be packed.

I already mentioned in a previous post that there’s going to be a night at the bar with all the characters, and because of that, there are a bunch of scenes that need to happen before that night to set things up.

As much as I want to share more details, I know some of you prefer going in blind, so I’ll hold off on spoilers for now.

On a personal note

As a dev, the more time that passes between updates, the more pressure you start to feel.

In the past, I’ve cut planned content just to push something out because that pressure got to me.I don’t want to do that here, but at the same time, I also want to show you something.

As much as I think it's a bit lame, I might release an alpha version at some point with some missing scenes, just to share part of the progress and give you something to play while I keep working.

I’m really sorry this is taking longer than I wanted, and I totally understand if you choose to leave and come back once the full update is ready.

If you decide to stay, I truly appreciate the support!

Cheers 🍻TTrick
