Merry Xmas everyone

And with that, I'm opening a beer and starting the Xmas celebrations. It's been an eventful day, with some interesting news to share.

The first thing is I finally went ahead and pulled the trigger on a RTX 3090 graphics card. When I did my last update cycle the graphics cards were incredibly expensive, and I settled for an RTX 3070. In retrospect that's been a mistake; it has even less VRAM than my old 1080Ti (8GB instead of 10GB), and while it's fast when it wants to, it would run out of VRAM and fall back to CPU the moment it hit two characters and some environment. Which does make sex scenes a lot harder :)

The RTX 3090 card (with 24GB VRAM) arrived today, and is happily churning through its first animations as a test case. Hopefully that means I'll be doing more animations going forward, and I can speed up development on some things.

A while ago I asked which of the Camelot external maps you guys liked best; if you check out the latest development branch, it's now showing up as a location you can enter and view the city from. I've also started setting up Act XIV, with the two first days done.  Hope you like it.

The Book 3 Steam Keys are now up and being handed out; if you'd like one, just DM me. For *now* there isn't any difference between playing the game on the development branch of Book 2 or Book 3, but there will eventually there'll be something fun there.

The more observant of you might have noticed there's something different about this Emily (apart from the wings, I mean). Behind the scenes I've been playing around with various ideas for what game I'm doing after Love of Magic, and I'm really liking the direction this one is going. I'll hopefully be able to talk more about it  early in the year, and eventually a playable 'intro' might show up on the Beta branch of Book 3.

Have an amazing holiday, whether you're celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah or Shōgatsu. Thanks for helping make this game possible.
