Friday Update - Way Early! - March 25, 2022

Hello, Patrons!

I'm including this particular render because... the update is right around the corner! I am deeply sorry for the dad joke.

I hope you all had a great week. I took a week off my real life job and basically posed scenes, ate, drank caffeine, and slept this week and that's about it.

I have just another handful of renders to go and that will be it. I should be able to get them done tonight or early in the morning.

Once that's complete, things will start moving very fast, which is why I wanted to get this update out of the way early. I will begin post-processing, which involves denoising the 4k renders, batch resizing them from 4k to 1080p, and adding backgrounds and special additions (like cell phone screens). That shouldn't take very long as I'm getting better at framing renders to minimize the requirement for heavy post processing.

I also need to put a few of my animations together from image series into movie files.

Once that's done, it's time for coding. When I've finished the script in the code I start playing through the update and making changes. Throughout the entire process I will be editing, adding, removing, all that jazz.

That will bring me to beta, hopefully by Sunday. Ideally I'll take a day's break away from things at that point, and then have fresh eyes with which to finish everything.

So, we're looking at Monday, Tuesday (my birthday!), or Wednesday for a release. I'm still thinking of adding a scene, so that might affect things a little.

The long wait is nearly over. I apologize for the lengthy delay and I'm looking forward to your feedback once you've played the update. As always, thank you for your support and kind words throughout the process. You guys are the best.
