Weekly progress report #34

Oh, man. What a week.

Hello. Time for another progress report. I have some things to say, which are both okay and very bad. Let me explain.

First of all, I managed to solve my technical problems for now. My power supply still gets hot, and I don't expect it to live long enough. But the previous one (not the one I bought last week) survived the heavy duty for almost a year, so I have some hope that this one is capable of doing the same. As of now I'm making the renders in my regular pace, and even slightly faster than usually. Seems like I was able to invoke some hidden resources within my GPU, and it now renders some scenes that were too heavy for it previously. For example, the ones in Vanessa's flat (which is just insanely detailed for no good reason).

The bad thing, however, is that it's too damn loud. I literally can't be in the same room with my computer anymore, because my head starts aching immediately. Which is why I'm loading the render queue in the morning, and just leave my computer like this. Then I go to the park or something with my tablet to write the script. But it makes me paranoid, since I always expect to find the burning carcass of my computer after coming back home. I'm just that anxious. Oh, well. At least I'm making progress.

Despite all that, I'm currently in a relatively good mood. Thanks to you, mostly. Seriously, your support just doesn't let me succumb to misery. Thank you very much.

As for the update itself… Well, the first chunk of it is getting very big. Again. As of now I have two completed days (with all renders, sprites, backgrounds, and dialogues), with the third one being in different states of completion depending on the route. I haven't started making any content with Melinda or Samuel yet, but Suya, Vanessa, and Liam got their pretty long scenes, as well as two different masturbation scenes for Blake, and some stuff I won't reveal for now. I'm planning to spend the next week making the scenes with Kira, Reese, and the stuff that's been voted for in the event polls. I can't promise you that I'm gonna fit the Blake/Zoey scene in the first demo, but at least it will be finished, so I won't forget about it (my memory is just crap, I admit).

So, that's about it. I wanted to talk more about the story, but we'll do it next time. More sprites coming up tomorrow, and stay tuned for the polls on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thank you, and have a nice day.
