Hey all!
I hope summer is treating you well (or, depending on where you live, winter?). Anyway, got a quick update for you here. I'm nearly done with renders for everything except the final set of explicit scenes. So, that means the explicit scene at the opening of this update and then all the non-explicit stuff that follows it.
So, provided I can get everything working in time, I'm going...

When I came to Patreon today to put up some NSFW sneak peek images, I glanced over this one and thought, "Yeah, let's share this one, too." Hope it gives you a nice hint of what's to come.
Work continues on the next update if slower than I would like. As a reminder, billing is paused for July so if you are current as of June 30, your membership will continue into July but you won't be billed fo...

Earlier this week, courtesy a video that went viral on Tiktok, BBN hit 1,000+ followers on Twitter. As a way to say "thank you," I put together a special one-off image. It's available to everyone on Twitter, but I'm offering it here on Patreon without some of the extra text, and you can also 2022-06-12 15:08:41 +0000 UTC View Post
Happy Friday, all!
Here are a couple of the renders I ran last night. With these done, I'm now switching to the final scene which is going to be very, very NSFW. As those begin to release, some spoilers will be unavoidable and I'll try to call that out in the subject lines but I promise, you'll enjoy!
Best,
BBN

These sneak peeks are appearing a little out of order as I'm running the post-processing in batches, but definitely wanted to get you a little more of what's in store for the next update.

I've been making good progress on renders the last couple weeks and just finished the post-processing on a large batch. Here are some SFW renders from the beginning of the "tour" that Kai is giving Alex. Tomorrow will come a couple of NSFW renders from earlier in the update, but I wanted to save them for Friday to give you a nice treat for the weekend.

Hey all.
It's not Bloodlines 2, but as you may know tomorrow (May 19) is the launch of a new game from the World of Darkness universe, Vampire: the Masquerade - Swansong.
Work permitting, I'm going to take a break from renders and do some streaming of the came over on our Discord, probably starting around ...

Happy Friday the 13th!
It's been a little longer than I was hoping to get you this update but I've got it for you here at last. The first week of May threw our family a huge curveball as my husband had to fly out to take care of sick parents, which left me solo-parenting for a week. I was largely exhausted the entire time and did not make as much progress as I had wanted, but this week I've bee...

It's that time again! As we approach the end of the month, I want to give everyone an update on where things are with BBN and what's going to be happening next month. And, as I always do, this is my reminder that Patreon will be billing again on the 1st!
What's happened this month?
I'm honestly not quite sure where to start. It has been a very productive month.

As you know from my last post, I had a lot of trouble with one of the models in this scene, but they are finally resolved. A trickle of Sneak Peek posts are now scheduled, and here are the first.

First, a quick progress update. Writing is not 100% complete (I'm estimating it's around 90%, but I hit a writer's block on how to set the stage for the final scene) but last weekend I shifted gears to get started on some rendering.
Now, for the Behind the Scenes update, it has been a somewhat brutal process. Months ago, working with his sponsoring patron, I worked up this amazing model for Pao...

With Spring coming and fan-favorite Connor not making it into Chapter 12, I thought I'd scratch a couple itches with these images. These were rendered at 4K and I will probably try to do that for all the Exclusive images going forward. I'll also try to get some other images out to you this month to make up for the lack of them in March.
Have a great weekend!

Alrighty. This has been a very busy couple of weeks for me and I've been teasing bits of information here and there but I think it's time to put it into one spot and let you know what's currently planned for the next update.
1. The writing is nearly finished
This doesn't require much explanation. I'm currently trying to finish up two of the possible endings for this updat...

And here is the last of this series of teaser images. Actual sneak peeks and other goodies to follow.
As promised, here is the second of the teaser images.
Most of the writing for the next update is complete. Now, if you follow me on Twitter, you'll know that as part of writing for this update, I've also been working in Daz on scenes and environments. In the last year (and thanks to your support), I've been collecting a lot of different 3D assets to prepare for what I've been pl...

Now that Build 0.8 has been out for a little while, I wanted to get some feedback from folks.
As I've mentioned, the images for this update (in Chapter 12) went through a new post-processing step in Photoshop. I did a few things to bring out the colors, bring out the highlights while darkening the shadows, and give everything a little more texture/detail.
Here are some of the "befor...

!! Minor Spoilers ahead for the latest update !!
I hope everyone had a great weekend and maybe got to spend some time with the latest update. If you did, you'll know I included a special asset in the latest renders: the white tiger. Although, in truth, the white tiger was several assets, including a special utility that calculated all the polygons for the fur. All of this...

I couldn't quite just take the day off so I decided to scratch an itch I've had for a while now, and that's to get started on an image gallery.
To be frank, my coding skills are rather basic. I learned how to get started working on this but it's been from scratch and after watching a lot of tutorial videos. Well, today I went back to those videos again and while the first one didn't work at all...

With the push to get the latest build out, I almost forgot to give the usual end of Month update.
Obviously the big news is 0.8a is now out for PC and Mac. Android will follow today or Friday.
I'm going to then give myself a couple days break then get to writing the next update. While there are going to be some important pieces of dialogue and decisions in this next update, it's going to ...

Update (4/28): This build is now public!
Update (3/31): New links updated for Build 0.8b, which fixes an audio error at the end of the update. Also included Android links with optimized images that cut the size of the app almost in half.
Alright, everyone... Here it is, the first part of Chapter 12. I'm going to drop the link...

Barring some sort of disaster, we are on track for a release on or before March 31. I'm running the final sent of renders right now which includes those I identified in my last round of QC as needing to be re-run. On top of that, the majority of clean-up and post has been completed on the nearly 300 images completed so far. Once this final tranche is completed, I just need to put those through Photo...
Update on the Update: Assuming my rig doesn't completely sputter and die in the meantime, I should have this out by the 31st. I have maybe four renders left to stage and run, then some overlays I have to run manually. (There will be a BtS post on that scheduled for after the release.) I've made great progress but am getting slowed down because the software randonly crashes when I t...

Many months ago, I teased an image for a character I was working on.
Well, she's finally making an appearance. Actually, she's already been in a couple of shots but this is the first time you'll see her face and she'll have lines.
This shot also sees me closing in on a range of the adjustments I think I'll be running in post-processing for the renders.
Best,

I haven't been able to offer too many sneak peeks of the first part of this next release as it would have ruined the cliffhanger but I'm now into the next scene and I can start sharing some of what I'm working on. I'm still experimenting here with post-production in Photoshop and I may tweak these settings before the release but I really like the overall effect on the renders.
Enjoy!

Hey all!
I'm feeling much better now and am back at work on the renders. There was of course a hiccup along the way, namely an update to the rendering software I used that has completely messed up lighting in a lot of the scenes, but after a few hours this week I found a fix.
Once that was done, in addition to making the new renders, I've been going through QC of the renders I already mad...
