Progress Report

Alright! Time for another Progress Report. It's mostly good news this time, thankfully. Before I jump into each bit, though, I want to give everyone a quick heads up. The next Haven's Port Focus poll will be going up within a day or two. Because the poll (Which will be an option between either expanding Jerta Island or introducing the Rose Garden) will determine basically the entire content of the next build, it needs to be finished before I can start working on renders next month. Hence the early run of the poll. Just something to keep your eye out for!

Anyway! Onward to progress report stuff!

Left Hand Magic

First and foremost...renders and animations for each of the three girl's solo weekday content is done. That means, at least from the render side, that I've hit my minimum content goal for the month. Nine scenes and like...9.5 animations? 

That said, as promised, I took a hard look on the 20th as to how much more I could get done. Ultimately, the decision I made was to do one of the two threesome routes. In a lot of ways that annoys me, since not completing the other is like a nagging itch to my OCD, given that all other weekday content will be done. However, the plans I had for each threesome route are more involved then their solo-route counterparts for Week 3. Which means I'm simply not confident in being able to get them both done without serious risk of delay.

I might have just gone ahead and taken the risk...except that I'm going to be pushed out of my place on the 1st and 2nd of September. The landlord is re-carpeting my level of the building on those days. We had plenty of warning, and the carpets are getting kinda worn. But it means I won't have access to most of my hardware for a day or two. I'll be taking my primary laptop to a hotel (at least that's the current plan) so I can still get some bits and pieces of stuff done. But I won't have access to my render box or external storage drives. Net result? I really don't want to end up with a delay this month, since it would likely mean a delay until at least the 3rd instead of just the first or second.

Anyway, that's the plan currently.

Mixed Media Short - A Bet Maid (Part 2)

I've finished all the rendering and post processing for this, with a final image count of 17 renders. I'm focused on finishing the second short story right now, but I expect to begin the writing for A Bet Maid later today (the 22nd). My expectations are that it will be out either the 23rd or 24th.

Short Story - The Long Haul

This is actually almost done. I'm expecting to finish the rough draft before I crash for the night/morning/whatevermyscheduleisweird. I'm not quite happy with it, so the editing pass might be a bit more involved then usual as I tweak some stuff, but unless something goes wrong it should be done in a day or two!

And that's all for now, folks!
