Update 57

tl;dr - Plenty of image design work this week, as well as some writing. Some things I can talk about right away, some I can't, but the image above is a good sample.

Sorry the update is slightly late, I was busy and forgot. :)


This week's image


As I'll discuss below I made some new images this week, particularly for Iku (as well as others). This one is from the sex scene - probably enough said. I like this one; it's not perfectly perfect, but I think it's effective. Opinions?


Slowly readjusting from jetlag and a cold


I've had a fairly rough readjustment after getting back thanks to jetlag and the cold I caught. The cold itself wasn't too bad until I had my flights, but then it seemed to kick into a new gear and I've been recovering for most of the week. I'm also still sleeping weird hours even a week after getting back. Oh, well.


I have been able to get some work done, so I guess that's the main thing. I started patching up the current version of PAL to try and fix the bug issues that have crippled some new features. That work isn't done yet, I hope to have it done this week so you can see all the new stuff when you play the alpha.


Image design work


I made various images of the sexy variety this week. I've been trying to patch some holes in the stuff that is already written but doesn't have adequate illustrations thus far. One particular area (not the only one) that I wanted to address was the Iku scene, and after this week's work I feel like the illustrations for that scene are probably just about done, which is a nice feeling.


I've also made some new images for the harem victory suite - it's my hope that as players you'll get quite a lot of fun out of getting that extra hardcore sex content once you've made your way through the whole game experience.


Some of my image design work this week has been on some stuff that I can't go into too much detail about just yet, but I hope to show it off soon.


Writing


I've been doing some new writing this week; again I can't say much about that either; again, I hope to be able to show it to you soon.


Oh, and I don't know if I mentioned this before but I wrote up a little scene

for the harem victory suite involving Masami, and I've designed an image

for it. I was digging around in my most recent work and realised I had

forgotten that I had done that almost immediately after making it.



Thoughts? Opinions? Remarks? (New word!) Please leave them in the comments below!

Update 57

I think my computer could probably handle it, but I do have some character models already prepared for future projects (and I like these new designs) so it will be a little while before I really want to switch over. I wouldn't want to lose the newer Aiko 4 designs that I still haven't had the chance to show you yet!

I think that Aiko 7 will be released before the end of the year, but I wouldn't want that need more time that v4 for each render, in that case if you begin to use v7 you could need a second computer, otherwise you would have problems to create all the images you need.

I'm happy to hear you feel better, the Victory suite seem always more interesting with the possibility of all those extra, a good reward for completing the game in all his parts.

Thanks, I'm really happy with the improvements too - a lot of that has to do with the transition to Iray rendering software, which is what I was able to do once I bought my new computer with a better graphics card. I really thought about the transition to Aiko 6, but I think it might be better for now to wait until 7 and see how it goes, because for now I can keep using stuff I have for Aiko 4 like hairstyles and outfits (I'll have to buy a lot of new stuff when I eventually make a transition). A lot of graphic artists have stuck with Victoria/Aiko 4 anyway, so there's plenty of free and cheap resources around for her, which is also helpful. I'll be happy to tell you the particular pairings that didn't get attention in the way I would find interesting once the spoilers are out there, sure. There is one particular couple that I just feel could produce a nice scene, but I haven't been able to work it out yet. Maybe I'll try to squeeze in a short, non-interactive scene to at least include a little bit of fun with that couple. :) (Oh, BTW, I'm feeling quite a lot better now, too.)

The image is ok, if you would want to be more naughty the fingers could be inside, but probably it's not what you are depicting and the image won't be better but only different. I'm surprised how much improved in your pics, I'm not even sure if deciding to change in an Aiko 6 (or7 when released) would be a good idea in the short time, seen how much you have became good with V4 models. I can understand that you cannot show pics without much spoiler (how the last 2 threesome). speaking of threesome, when you will have showed all the pairing I will be curious to hear what it's the only couple not done, that for you would add something different (I'm betting on Rio/Masami). Good luck for your cold.
