CH4 STATUS UPDATE

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the delay this week. The status update was supposed to come out on Friday, but I wasn’t home over the weekend—I just got back today—so things ended up getting pushed back a bit.

These past two weeks have been really productive. I started by cleaning up my PC since I was running out of storage space. The game files are getting pretty heavy, so I had to adjust my plans a bit. Some scenes that were almost finished (just needed detailing) I went ahead and fully completed, rendering them right away so I could free up some space. I did this for about a third of the episode, so I can say that part is completely done.

With the rest of my time, I focused on posing the "middle third" of the episode. There's one scene in particular that’s been a bit tricky—an action scene. Action is hard to pull off in a visual novel since it relies a lot on movement and impact frames, which are difficult to emulate with static images. Have you guys seen any action scenes in AVNs or similar games that you thought were well done? I could use some references. I'm not 100% happy with how it's looking so far (I can be a bit of a perfectionist), but I can’t afford to spend too much time on it since the episode is already running a little behind. If needed, I’ll refine it in the future.

That’s it for now! I’ll keep working on posing this section, and after that, I’ll move on to a more erotic part—which is always more fun to work on. After all, this is an AVN, haha.

One quick note: as you may have noticed, I’ve switched from weekly updates to biweekly ones. This way, I have more progress to share between updates. Also, I’m pausing standalone renders for a while. I’ve already explained their importance before, but I like to keep my render queue full at all times since rendering is the slowest part of my process. Right now, the queue is starting to catch up to me, so I need to send more scenes to it before my PC gets a break, haha. I’ll get back to doing extra renders once the queue is full again.

That’s all for now—see you in the next update!
