Status update Episode 4
Added 2019-11-29 14:12:14 +0000 UTCThis week I focused on producing art, mainly animations.
I have 10 animations left to pose and I will spend the next week posing these and static renders.
I also posed static renders, wrote parts of the walkthrough for Episodes 1-3 and finished another free-roam this week; there's one more free-roam to go.
I have 6 fairly big scenes left to produce art for, but I'm beginning to see the end of the development cycle.
After the art is posed and while I wait for it to render, I'm going to playtest and polish the game as much as possible.
After the art is rendered and the game is polished, I will send the game to my proofreader and beta testers.
I know that many of you are wondering if the update will be released in December or not.
I don't know this, yet, because it all depends on how long time it will take for the animations to render.
To speed up rendering further, I upgraded one of my PCs this week.
The only thing I can say right now with certainty is that this episode is the biggest one I've ever produced and I'm glad that it is used to wrap up Season 1.
Have a great weekend!

2019-12-03 23:52:26 +0000 UTCAmazing games! Like I felt that! visualy 10/10 every time! and the story is amazing in all your games Just wanted to say much impressed you dont set the bar you are the bar!
2019-12-03 09:14:12 +0000 UTCDear Mother of God! 20 Episodes? That is going to be a hell of a ride. Especially considering the "hellish turn" that everybody is expecting you to unleash on us happy gamers (Yes, I`m still not over Acting Lessons).

2019-11-30 13:24:14 +0000 UTCI have played video games maybe 3 times since I started developing games. I love video games, but making this game is much more satisfying to me. That's how much I love it.

2019-11-29 16:31:39 +0000 UTCI've looked into it and there aren't any render farms for DAZ3D (afaik). The available render farms aren't worth the money when it comes to rendering graphics for games. It will be much cheaper to buy your own equipment. Thankfully, with the new RTX technology, the software is getting better. For instance, DAZ3D current Beta is approximately 50% faster than the 4.11 public build. Multiple GPU rendering hasn't been optimized yet, so I'm expecting future gains here as well.

2019-11-29 16:28:01 +0000 UTCBased on the current public information that the game will be 10-20 Episodes, there will be at least 3 seasons. More information on this will come in the future.

2019-11-29 16:23:50 +0000 UTCVery general question... for independent content creators such as yourself, has anyone ever looked into the feasibility of using cloud rendering services (such as Amazon w/ NVIDIA GPU-based instances) to either supplement (or completely offload) the rendering tasks required for these types of games?

2019-11-29 15:46:00 +0000 UTCCan't wait!!! Just wonder and I don't know if you answered this before but how many seasons will there be? :)

Cheers for the hard work.

2019-11-29 14:40:00 +0000 UTCEp1-3 walkthrough will be released before Episode 4 is released. Episode 4 walkthrough will be released after Episode 4 has been released.

2019-11-29 14:27:12 +0000 UTCSounds great! Do you have any idea if the walkthrough will be complete when episode 4 is released? I'm thinking that it might be a good time to start a new playthrough.
