New Antioch [R0.5] Dev Log #7

Hail citizens,

I completed about 40 renders and 2 animations. Scene 7 will be longer (but better) than originally planned. I have a bunch of renders and 5 animations left to do for it, but I think it'll be a really good one. It'll be the new 'biggest' scene in the game.

Unfortunately the animations are taking a long time to render though. This is the first scene in the whole project that I've had to leave my PC running overnight for haha.

Other than that, things are good. T...

New Antioch [R0.5] Dev Log #6

Hail citizens,

Got a very short log for you this week.

I completed 51 renders, finishing off scene 6. Next up is Safiya's scene. The word count's already hit 10k, and some of the earlier scenes still need some touching up. To put that into perspective, episode 1 in total was ~13k. :P

Not much else to say. Things are going good.

Have a good week for me, and I'll see you all in dev log #7.

Cheers,

TheRedMyst

New Antioch [R0.5] Dev Log #5

Hail citizens,

Hope you're all doing good.

I did 43 renders and 1 animation this week. Scene 4 is done and scene 5 has about 1-2 days of rendering left. The word count is up to 7.5k thanks to some extra content I added to scene 5, which shines light on how the Empire treats its less-favored vassals.

Would've liked to have done more renders this week, but scene 5 ended up being surprisingly time-consuming because of its environment (each render took ~1 hour). At least it'll b...

New Antioch [R0.5] Monthly Render #5

Hey guys, here is the next monthly render, which had a theme of 4th of July (even though it was the render for June lol).

Also available on Discord in the bonus-renders channel.

New Antioch [R0.5] Dev Log #4

Hey everyone,

Don't know about you guys, but feels to me like time's flying by. We're already at the first public dev log of ep 5, and ~25% done.

I completed 35 renders and 3 animations this week. Scene 4 is not quite done yet, but close. Scene 5 will be pretty short, so I'll probably finish both in the coming week.

Gotta say I'm very happy with how Aquila's scene is shaping up. It's emotionally intimate but a little light-hearted at the same time, which I think matches her ...

New Antioch [R0.5] Dev Log #3

Hail citizens,

Hope you've all had a great week!

I completed 60 renders, finishing off scene 3. The word count's now at 5.5k. This scene will have 4 different versions, depending on your previous choices, which made it really fun to work on.

(If you saved Nightowl and lost the debate with Dante, I hope you're not too squeamish.)

Scene 4 is Aquila's adult scene, so looking forward to starting work on that this week. I'll see you all in dev log #4. :)

Cheers,

New Antioch [R0.5] Dev Log #2

Hail citizens,

Got a nice, short dev log for you this time.

I did 69 (nice) renders this week, completed scene 2 and started on scene 3. The word count's already at ~4,000 which is kinda insane since I think only around 13% of the script is written.

I've also started the poll for the June monthly render on Discord (#polls).

Cheers,

New Antioch [R0.5] Monthly Render #4

Hey guys, here is the monthly render for May, which had a theme of May the 4th. It's got Darth Aquila, Jedi Master Safiya, and Luciana the Bounty Hunter. :D

Also available on Discord in the bonus-renders channel.

New Antioch [R0.5] Monthly Render #3

Hey guys, apologies for the tardiness on monthly renders. The April/May period was insanely busy for me and unfortunately they got left behind. Going to post them both now (separately for the sake of organisation).

Here is the monthly render for April, which shines the spotlight on Milena, seeing as she's been left out so far in polls. I'm going to use the April poll results for the May render, since it has an actual theme ;)

Also available on Discord in the bonus-renders channel....

New Antioch [R0.5] Dev Log #1

Hail citizens,

Before we get to the dev log, I'd like to give a heartfelt thank you all for your support, and welcome everyone new that's joined :). The positive response from ep 4 has blown me away.

I've been working a lot on scene planning for the next episode, and this week I completed 46 renders and 3 animations. Scene 1 is finished, and I've started work on scene 2. It's shaping up to be the longest episode so far, with 16 planned scenes (compared to the usual 12 or so) and a...

New Antioch [R0.4] Dev Log #16

Hey everyone,

Got a big update for you guys. I completed ~60 renders and 3 animations this week, which means the rendering for ep 4 is all done. I'm now working on the audio, codex, doing a final review of the script, and of course testing. I'll post release dates soon, but before that I remember promising a proper preview of ep 4, so here goes:

Episode 4 is called "Gold and Steel", and will take you through a few days in the life of a rookie praetorian. You'll dip your toes in lu...

New Antioch [R0.4] Dev Log #15

Hail citizens,

I did 2 animations and ~30 renders this week, completing the 0.5 scene in the 1.5 I said I had left in the last dev log. I estimate I've only got another 1-2 weeks of rendering left, depending on how long/difficult the last scene ends up being (I'm optimistic though).

The scene above is with a non-LI character who has already made an appearance. See if you can guess which one. ;)

Hope you all have a great week.

Cheers,

TheRedMyst

New Antioch [R0.4] Dev Log #14

Hail citizens,

Hope you're all doing good. I did exactly 50 renders this week, finishing off a scene and starting on another. I also wrote some more codex entries.

We're getting to the business end of this episode's dev logs now. I'll give a more detailed episode preview soon, but there are some big reveals in this one. The scene I just finished, for example, will cast a light on what really happened to our MC's parents.

Lastly, the poll for April's mon...

New Antioch [R0.4] Dev Log #13

Hail citizens,

I completed ~45 renders this week and made more progress on the codex entries. Aquila's scene is now done, leaving me with around 2.5 scenes to go. They are on the smaller side though so hopefully won't take me too long.

Other than that not much to report on. See you all next week. :)

Cheers,

New Antioch [R0.4] Monthly Render #2

Hey guys, was wracking my brain over a theme for this one until I realised it was staring at me in the face haha. Btw there are 5 still-hidden eggs in the render.

New Antioch [R0.4] Dev Log #12

Hey everyone,

I completed another ~30 renders and 2 animations this week, one of which was very long (9s compared to the usual ~2s). Happy to say that I've finally finished Luciana's adult scene, which was the raid boss of this episode for both me and my PC.

All three variations of the world map are done as well: 1) geography and landmarks, 2) sovereign states, and 3) imperial provinces, and I've made good progress on the codex entries. If I keep it up, ep 4 will have something li...

New Antioch [R0.4] Dev Log #11

Hail citizens,

Hope you're all doing good.

I completed ~25 renders and 2 animations this week, which is a decent haul. The anims are kinda rough and fast (talking about the action ;), not the quality), but they turned out well imo. The scene I'm working on will have as many animations as all of ep 3, and maybe even more than that. I'm aiming to complete this scene by the next dev log. After that I'll have 3-ish scenes left to go out of 12.

Aquila, Faustina and Luciana all dr...

New Antioch [R0.4] Dev Log #10

Hail citizens,

Another week, another ~50 renders. In terms of renders I think I'm further ahead than the 68% I've written, but I'm giving myself a buffer since I know I've still got several animations to do.

Script is likely going to stay at 95% until release since I'm constantly editting and iterating over it. Other than that nothing much to report.

Hope you all have a good week. :)

Cheers,

TheRedMyst

New Antioch [R0.4] Dev Log #9

Hail citizens,

Happy to say I had a pretty productive week. I completed 52 renders, finishing off one more scene, and I also did a bunch of extra renders for the codex.

And speaking of the codex, the art and coding aspects are mostly done, but I still need to add descriptions for each entry. The first version will include all of the characters shown in the last dev log, and at least 8 miscellaneous items including a map of the Empire, main factions, and other lore tidbits.  2024-03-12 06:26:59 +0000 UTC View Post

New Antioch [R0.4] Dev Log #8

Hey everyone,

I have a longish dev log, and also something a little different for you this week.

A while back a fan suggested that I add a codex to New Antioch, and I really liked this idea. I actually started a prototype of it for episode 1, but it looked bad (and there was barely anything to populate it with lol).

So I've restarted work on the codex, and will aim to package it into the episode 4 release. It'll contain extra lore about characters, places and events in the w...

New Antioch [R0.4] Dev Log #7

Hail citizens,

Hope you're all doing good.

I completed ~45 renders this week and (I think) have hit the halfway mark. The debate scene is nearly done, and after it is I'll be resuming work on some of the adult scenes. Out of 12 scenes, 5 are fully done, 3 are in progress, and 4 are still to be started.

See you all next week. :)

Cheers,

New Antioch [R0.4] Dev Log #6

Hail citizens,

I completed another ~40 renders this week, finishing two scenes that were nearly done. 

Unfortunately this week was a bit slower since I'm getting a new job irl and going through a time-consuming handover process. 

I've also started rendering the debate scene in this episode, which has taken a lot of time to set up. I think it's going to look very cool though. I'm especially happy with how Dredge looks.

Hoping to pick up the pace in the coming ...

New Antioch [R0.4] Dev Log #5

Hail citizens,

I completed another ~50 renders this week, and finished one of the shorter adult scenes. Faustina ended up with 2 scenes, both of which will show her softer side. 

Safiya and Aquila drew on the monthly render poll, so it'll star both of them!

See you all next week for dev log #6 :)

Cheers,

TheRedMyst
