I hope you're doing well. To be honest, it hasn't been the best week for me personally. I... I didn't work for two days because I felt overwhelmed. I just stayed in bed, wanting to sleep. That's why I didn't write twice this week. I'm sorry about that.
On the game development side, I'm slightly happy about something. I found a way to compress images almost losslessly using a special AVIF codec. It's much better than PNG or the awful WebP/JPEG that always created artifacts or banding (even at 95 quality). And don't get me started on PNGcrushers... Anyway, I'm kind of in love with AVIF now.
Regarding renders, I'm still making progress. I'm almost done with Madison's scene. Oh, and I read that I should tone down the AI in previous renders. So on one of those days when I wasn't feeling great and didn't want to do much, I redid the achievements. I think they look more natural and less AI-ish now. It's the new blending technique I've standardized, which will be used in the upcoming update. I also fixed a couple of images from Episode 2.
For what's coming next, I've been thinking about two options for the next chapter: focus on Elizabeth or focus on Antonella. The first would involve more player interaction, while the second would have less due to the "physical" distance between the characters involved. I was thinking of creating a poll about this. Do you think that's a good idea?
That's all for now. Thank you for reading this. Your support means a lot to me.

2025-01-27 12:24:07 +0000 UTCSometimes we have to take breaks after work pressure or when feeling sick or tired. You should take some rest and not put too much pressure on yourself when working, Yukana. Your body has a right over you. The work will be done in any case sooner or later. Do not work while you are sick and tired. I wish you good health and more success in the near future and later on. Take good care of yourself. You are brilliant and creative as usual, Yukana. Good luck..😘🥰❤️

I DO thank you for communicating and not vacating, but take care of yourself. Get counseling if you need it. Life's too short to spend most of it unhappy.

2024-09-17 06:03:44 +0000 UTCGreat Render and you have a great avn looking forward to the updates. only questionable of the image is the fingers could be taken as "offensive", not sure if it against Paterons TOS, i would suggest not posting images like that with the fingers.Just looking out for you, Keep up the great work on the AVN. Just my Opinion on it.

2024-09-16 23:28:13 +0000 UTCWe all need a few days off some times. When we are our own boss, we often forget to take a few breaks, but it is important. For the focus on Elizabeth or Antonella, when you said "for the next chapter", where you talking about the Episode 5 ? If I Understood correctly, the next release is the second part of the chapter / episode 4, so the focus on Elizabeth or Antonella will be for the released that comes after the one you are working on right now. Is that correct ? A poll here or on discord seems like a fair way to decide which character will be the focus in the next Episode / Chapter.

2024-09-16 07:21:30 +0000 UTC🤣 I love that render... It's alright. Everybody wants to stay in bed and sleep (I would if I could), so you're good; go at your own pace 😁. Nice on the fixes, the image compression, and on the previous renders! I love both, so sure, let's put it in the poll 😁. See ya on the next one! Until then, have a great one ✌🏻!
