Progress Report - 12/26/2022
Added 2022-12-26 12:43:55 +0000 UTCHey Fans,
I have fallen ill with Covid... again. On Christmas Eve. I had to spend Christmas in isolation. It has been rough. I'm on the mend though, and I'll be fine a few days. My family is pushing Christmas back to January, so everything is going to work out. It's just disappointing.
I spent some time working on the A Moment of Bliss Steam Page. I'm commissioning a professional to make a trailer. Once the trailer is completed, I'll be opening up the AMoB page to the public. Wishlisting is important so I can be featured when A Moment of Bliss drops... if it drops.
On that note, I'll probably do some major re-writes for the Steam Editions just so that I can be extra sure it's going to be approved. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
I've written the first two scenes for Chapter 4, and I've rendered out the first image. I said I wasn't going to start on Chapter 4 until next year, but I'll probably start on it in a day or two once I start feeling better.
The first render!
I'm doing a Madds Medusa scene in this one. It might be longer than the one in Chapter 3. I'll add a skip feature so you don't have to watch it if you don't want to. This one is going to feature Gatling Gamma though. It'll be fun.
Last week was mostly about the Steam Page, Custom Renders, Writing Scenes, and Comissioning a Trailer. This week will be about Dressing Characters, Setting Up Scenes, and Making the Exiled Scene.
Thank you for all your support, and stay hydrated this winter.

Sure am sorry to hear that. It does feel like a lot of people are getting sick this December. I do hope your Christmas didn't suffer too much because of it.

2022-12-27 10:51:00 +0000 UTCKids can be nasty sometimes. Haha. This is my second time to get Covid in the span of 5 months. I don't believe in immunity anymore.

2022-12-26 20:04:07 +0000 UTCIt's a risk. Is it worth getting banned on Steam for life? Probably not in the long run. It's a tricky situation. :-/

2022-12-26 20:02:11 +0000 UTCI know, right! I remember...30+ years ago, in high school, there was one kid named Chester... This kid was not all there but would do that. We would be in the auditorium and/or gym, where he would start searching out anything in his vicinity to eat from under the pullout bleachers in the gym or the seats in the auditorium. The first time I saw Elf, I immediately thought of him. But I hope you feel better. At this point, you should have leftover immunity.

2022-12-26 15:43:06 +0000 UTCThanks, Mangestu. Steam did the AVN community a disservice by rejecting A Petal Among Thorns, and actions like that will ultimately lead to their downfall if they continue. A finality of such magnitude is absurd, and I'm sure they know that. So glad you enjoyed Chapter 3. The next chapter should be even better. Thank you for your support!

2022-12-26 15:33:38 +0000 UTCDamn, I wish you a speedy recovery Lockheart! Don't push yourself too hard! As far as ch3, I just finished it last night, and what a rollercoaster! Def excited for the continuation, but that can wait for whenever it gets released! Steam seems to be a super fickle platform, especially with AVN. Sex with Hitler got a 2nd installment, but they have problems with your works?!? The fuck? I can see how certain themes and stuff can be verboten, but why can't people understand that, at the end of the day, these are all 0s and 1s and NOT REAL? Sigh, of course, we've entered a Twilight Zone where there's prolly people that literally believe Batman and Superman actually exist. Anyways, enough ranting with this wall of text. Great work, excited for more, heal up, and good luck with everything, especially steam!

2022-12-26 15:11:31 +0000 UTCSorry you were sick for Christmas, that sucks. Get well soon. Hypothetically couldn't you combine both games under a different title for steam?

2022-12-26 15:11:23 +0000 UTCSteam did me dirty. Hopefully they don't a second time.

2022-12-26 14:29:16 +0000 UTCTake care of yourself first thing. IMHO steam is stupid, they won't take A Petal Among Thorns but the take this. I love both but this can be far more controversial than the other. With that said, yes I see the changes for steam edition. Also steam has a game request also.
