Dev log - September 1st, 2024

Well, summer is just about over thankfully. As someone who loathes the heat, I welcome fall with open arms and can't wait to feel the cool fall air and that first whiff of winter. Then it's all downhill a few months later when I'm freezing my ass off shoveling snow! You just aren't allowed to have perfect weather for very long here in the north east of North America.

I've taken a break from production to write another dev log and let you guys know what's going on with me and the game.

Production is going well. I've had a lot of family events to attend for the the past couple weeks, so that has eaten into my dev time, but I anticipate that when planning the release for the game so things are pretty much on target for where I want to be. I've made a lot of progress the past couple days having made around 60 renders and coded half a scene. I love when everything just flows nicely and I don't get stuck trying to figure out how to get a scene to look just how I want it. Posing can be a challenge because I mostly pose free hand and rarely use premade poses. I can never accept a pose that doesn't look realistic. There's nothing worse than wonky, stilted looking poses in these games. I'm by no means the best at it, but I feel like I'm getting better all the time and do a pretty good job for the most part. I often take pictures of myself doing a pose that I want to make so I have a visual reference while I'm making it. Man, if those pics ever got out I'd be one seriously embarrassed boy, haha!

I feel like this chapter will move the story along nicely as well as give some good character development. There will also be several hot scenes so I'm hoping this chapter will be pleasing to most people.

With regards to the short story release, I have decided to put off the one I'm working on now until the new year in favor of a Halloween special that I'm starting soon. This will be out at the end of October and I'm planning another one for Christmas. These are basically just scenes with seasonal themes to see the characters in settings that can't be seen in the game because it takes place over a single month in the summer. So I apologize for those of you that have been waiting for additional content for the game, but you should see it at the end of October.

Anyway, that's about it for now. I'll continue to post teaser images up to release for the different tiers and I'll get a few polls in there as well for some things I need input on.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
