About the Bonus update 1 (Patreon)

Hello everyone,

Today, I want to talk to you about the BONUS update and share some insights into the project.

First off, developing this update has been challenging, but that was something I anticipated. However, this doesn't discourage me; on the contrary, it motivates me to keep going. I find the project so important that I don't mind dedicating my weekends to working on it.

That said, this experience has exposed several significant challenges. The most pressing issue is time. I aimed to release this update by the end of the month, and while I succeeded, it did come at the expense of the final product's quality. Had I more time, I would have reworked all the videos, added new camera angles, and introduced additional 'finish' options.
Therefore, for the next BONUS update, you can expect to see not only new content but also new angles and ending scenarios with Aaliyah, similar to those with Flo. These will be added to the existing features. I've also planned to introduce external characters to the mix.

Another vital aspect to address is the hardware resources. My current computer has been running 24/7 to generate the renders and animations for this update. Each animation takes at least 60 hours to complete, and some had to be redone multiple times due to bugs. This means that for the time being, I've only been able to render about a dozen images for the huge update, even though posing for more than 150 images that are just waiting to be rendered.

By the way, I have some great news. With the money raised from Patreon and itch, I've purchased a 4090 graphics card and a 1500W power supply (for more later :p), which I should receive soon. My next purchases will be hard drives since I'm running low on storage. I'll also need to upgrade my main PC, as it's currently not operating at its full capacity (PCIe gen 3, ssd are gen 4). Thankfully, with this month's Patreon earnings, I should be able to buy these components, including a new motherboard, ram and hard drives. The cpu is good enough.

So, what's next for the funding? It will go towards a second computer. Even though I have another computer that could be upgraded, I'd like this second machine to be dedicated solely to rendering animations and to run 24/7. 

That's why your support is incredibly crucial. It will help accelerate the development pace and substantially improve the project's quality.

See you very soon to introduce a new character.
