Public Service Announcement - Help! Godson Needs Your Support NOW! (TL;DR at the bottom)
Added 2024-08-25 18:14:03 +0000 UTCHey guys, got an announcement here. The next game update is about 80% done. All the scenes are made, all the animations are made, and the script is completed. Along with animating, @KC3D is now taking care of all the sound for the animations now and going forward, so we're keeping that side of things in-house. I'm working with a third party however for the Android version, but that should be released on the same day as the next game update. Where we're currently struggling, and what's taking so much time is rendering everything.
I work on this game quite literally, everyday. Godson has (in my opinion) the most detailed characters in the adult game genre, but these character models take a lot of time to render. Usually, this hasn't been an issue for me, but as technology with 3D character design moves forward as days and months go by, I move forward with it. My main talent is and has always been 3D character design and skin shading.
The animations has have gotten a major upgrade due to @KC3D's abilities as a 3D Animator. Things like varients in animation (like going from casual doggystyle to hardcore all in a single animation), fluidity, animation time and higher FPS are now things that you will always see. There has been talk (mostly from you guys) of going back and re-doing all the current animations in the game so that they are all on this level, but I feel that's something we should have a vote on first AFTER this next game update. Where we're struggling here is rendering these new animations.
When I was doing the animations myself, since I'm so bad at it (glad you guys liked them tho), I only had animations that were about 20 to 40 frames only, which means 20 to 40 images (pro-tip for beginners, never render an animation as a video, always do images first). Now, with the new animations, we're pushing almost 500+ frames an animation. It's also very possible in the future they will go even longer than that, most likely over 1000. These take an incredibly long time to render now just on my PC alone, so I needed to upgrade to a render-farm that I've used in the past. The render-farm works great, but it's very expensive and very difficult to afford currently. I only got one animation done before I was forced to stop because I can't pay for it.
Most of you already know, but this is my primary source of income. I don't do anything else. Everyday I wake up and work on Godson for at least 8 hours a day, even weekends. Once the game get's to at least around 30+ hours of content, then I feel I can take a small break. But there's so much work to do and content I want to produce for everyone that I can't have much of a break yet. I see other developers get 'tired' and 'burnt out' and shit but that's never been me. I'm good to go man lol. Soon as an update is done I'm like alright, what we need to do next?
Anyway, TL;DR, I'm writing this because we reached a point where the current funding on Patreon isn't enough. I need everyone's support right now, seriously. I need to finish rendering what we have so I can get this update out, and then start working on the next update. We need more funding so I can finish rendering our scenes and animations on the render-farm. I got 2 sex animations that need to be rendered, and a whole rack of scenes waiting to be rendered. Also, if everyone comes together and supports, I can guarantee I can finish this update and have it released easily within a week to two weeks, and with continued support and using a render-farm, updates can go faster without me being paranoid making a scene and thinking well, this scene right here I know is gonna take at least 5 hours to render this one image. We're long past the days of 2020 with just a few Discord members and only a handful of supporters like @BlueLofi, @Tellement and @SunnyD. Now we're over 3000 members strong here in the Discord and growing! I recognize everyone's support and contributions to Godson and trust me, I see you supporting. But I need everyone to come together, right now (if you can), and come support on Patreon. If you don't like Patreon, come support on SubscribeStar. Don't wait, click the link and please support whatever you can. Let's get this update out and much more past it. SUPPORT GODSON! - The Best MILF Adult Game Period!
