Hey guys, it’s dev log time!

It’s been another busy couple of weeks, and I’ve made some great progress on 0.8 - I’ve completed 300 more renders (500 so far), finished one of the two animated scenes (15 videos), and created two of the three new locations that will feature in this update.

Beyond that, I’ve also been playing with some new editing software (Adobe Lightroom) that I plan on putting into effect for all of the renders in this update. I’ve only dabbled with it so far, so these are very much a work in progress, but this is roughly what I’m going for:

You may not notice much difference just looking at them in this post, but full screen I think the new ones really pop, and make the world look much more vibrant and alive.

Once I’ve got the hang of it, it should be relatively easy to batch edit all of the previous renders in the game, so this could potentially be an improvement across the board (although the improvement will be limited on the rough early renders from 0.1 and 0.2 - technology can only achieve so much!)

If you have any thoughts on the above, or if you know of some magic that can be performed using Lightroom that I’m missing, feel free to comment below or on discord!

Next, something that probably won’t be of interest to most of you, but I’ve had a few requests now for some higher patreon tiers, just to allow people to increase their level of support without further rewards. I've also had requests for a custom render tier, so, to that end, I’ve combined these and added two new expensive tiers. I want to make it clear though, even with rewards, nobody should feel obligated to join these tiers, they're purely for people that want to support the game to a ridiculously generous degree!

If you are interested in a custom render, be aware that it will come with some rules: First, it has to comply with the patreon terms of service. Second, I won't do anything with guys other than the MC (no netorare!), and finally, I won't do anything with the main LIs that goes beyond what you've seen already in game (meaning that you can't just commission me to see Sarah naked, you have to read the story to see that!). This last rule does not apply to side characters however, they're fair game!

Finally, this will probably be the last dev log of 0.8, since the release will be in two or three weeks (looking at either the 25th, or the third of next month), so until then, as always, thank  you for all of your support!
