[Progress Report]: 17th of March

Hey everyone,

Patrols. More and more. Two have been fully completed and I'm working on what I believe to be the final one for this development cycle. These events are... fairly large. They're complicated and they take a lot out of me to do, but I'm very happy with the result and how they push the story forward. The three patrols that will be released take place right up to the most recent Valen...

Hey everyone,

The patrols are up and running! It took some updating, but we're in full production. These events are quite taxing, both because they're large and because they require several custom assets and environments. New assets mean hours spent playing with the lighting and color work, whereas new environments means even more time setting up the lighting! Still, I quite like the result, an...

Hey everyone,

It's time to suit up! 

Almost the entirety of this update will focus on the final set of patrol events for Chrys' segment! There's a lot of story stuff to cover, and I don't expect a high event count given the number of plot points I expect to tie together here. 

That's... Huh, I guess that's it?

Progress Reports on major story updates are usually very ...

Hey everyone,

The Early Build is currently uploading at the time of typing this! Valentina's Trouble Arc has been concluded and we're now full-steam ahead for more main story events. I mean, this one also had several main story events, but still.

I don't think that I would have been able to complete an update like this without the new computer. I definitely would have been forced to cut a...

Hey everyone,

Hey everyone,

How is it February already!?

Well, I'm off whale-hunting this week, and by whale-hunting I mean trying to finish off a bunch of very large events! I'm predicting eight to nine events total for the release, which I think is great progress given the new environments and the overall progress occurring in the story. If everything goes well, we should be able to fully wrap up Val...

I'm still working my way through Valentina's current arc, as we're at one of the points where her personal story and the main story are about to converge. Above you'll see a sneak peek of yet another new environment, and I'm starting to wonder if I'm maybe going a little overboard with some the new assets. Visually, I think it really reflects how...

Hey everyone,

After a hectic week, I'm glad to see that the issues with the Version 1.752 release have been sorted on the PC, Mac, and Android versions! I apologize for the inconvenience the initial few versions caused. There were still kinks to work through with the new computer, but issues like that shouldn't crop up again in the future.

Above, you'll see a sneak-peak of Riley's library...

Hey everyone,

As I speak, the Early Build version for Superheroes Suck 1.750 is now uploading!

Seven events is the final total. I would normally be upset about this, but given that this development cycle included the computer upgrade, changed to my work flow, and even the holidays, I think I can come to terms with this one.

Still, that doesn't mean that the amount of content is smal...

Hey everyone,

Happy New Year!

The renders are continuing, and above you can see how I'm trying out new lighting and setting combinations that are available to me now with the new computer. It's... honestly, not the best time to be working on the quality of the renders when I have the crunch the animations and two other events this week, but I have this upcoming week off from my day job du...

Hey everyone,

Merry Christmas!

I have to admit, if I were better at planning the release dates out, I would probably navigate around the holidays better than I do now. Regardless, it's not like I mind rendering on these days. Everything is closed anyway!

Hey everyone,

Who turned up the Dark Mode on Patreon? I can barely see the buttons.

Anyway, we're back in the fight! The first full event with the new computer has been completed and I've been rendering the upcoming Artemisia event that you can see above! Her expression is hard to read (as always), but I assure you she's in deep thought!

As for the new computer itself, it's... Well,...

Hey everyone,

I'm back to full production!

It took roughly two weeks to get here. I spent the first week after the Early Build setting up the hardware, fixing several issues with the general software, rebinding all of my hotkeys and making the setup comfortable and so on. I spent the second week, this week, making sure that all of the settings and optimizations were ready on my render sof...

Hey everyone,

MADNESS BECOMES ME

The above render is from Riley's H-scene event as the winner of the previous poll! The main story animations for a totally separate event have already been complete, and as I write this, Riley's animations are ongoing. I've been more or less eating, sleeping, and breathing renders for the past two weeks, and that will also be the ...

Hey everyone,

Animations.

Animations every day this week. I have no other thoughts nor ambitions. I have to somehow crunch out quite a few during the next week, which isn't ideal, but sometimes that's just how it goes. I look at this hopeful that it will be the penultimate time I have to do animations without the new computer. While I should get all the parts during the next development c...

Hey everyone,

November!? This cycle is going by far too quickly!

Above you'll see an image of Harper's picnic basket as a hint of where things are going! Harper's events will be taking up the rest of the upcoming week and possibly bleeding into next week depending on how the animations fair!

Speaking of animations, since I plan on doing a double set of animation releases this update...

There's about to be some changes in the Academy, with the new patrols cooking up along with some long-waited time with the Academy's foremost (and only) gymnast. You can also expect a flourishing of Harper-related content as well, as both will be moving towards the main story progress overall!

Hey everyone,

It's October already? Boy, this year flew by. Then again, I was out of action for most of it, so maybe I shouldn't be that surprised.

Anyway! Above you'll see a very vague render for the "guest" event finished this week! I can't show you most of the images as they'll spill right into spoiler territory! There are quite a few implications that accompany this event, and I know ...

Hey everyone,

Another week, and another event down! The progress has been... slow? Not slow. Odd? It feels slow, but I know it's not slow. Why? Because all of the events I have been working on, whether they are tied to a specific character or not, have been there to progress the main story. Main story events take more time than the other ones simply because there's a lot more material to go ove...

Hey everyone,

Above is an image from the next main story event! This time it's the conversation with Detective Keegan over what happened with Lovestruck. There's some major plot points going on in this scene, so I can't talk about it much more than that. Well, except to mention that I'm still happy with Miranda's visual update. It was sorely needed. Just look how much nicer that hair is! <...

The Early Build is out and I am exhausted!

I mentioned this in the discord, but Superheroes Suck Version 1.600 will launch with eight total events instead of the previously mentioned seven. I was able to squeeze in Riley's repeatable massage event last night at midnight. It delayed the release somewhat, but extra content is extra content! Also, I prefer not to have these rep...
