Development Update

Just a couple of notes and updates.  Bailey chain renders are happening.     I have an idea for a talent that will make changes to the UI when selected... that might be hard to implement, so going to get a head start on the programming this time.  

I want to stress this will be a small update where hopefully everything is fleshed and will set the base for mass content production.  That's the main goal.

Having a hard time deciding the color.

I personally like the pink/red the most, but having a hard time deciding...  I'll delay Bailey specific renders and work on other ones for another day.

Patron Reward Changes

I'm changing $20 patron rewards so they get access to an alpha release 3 days ahead of time.  This is mostly so some members can help test the game before it reaches the public.   Please, and I mean really please, please, please do not leak alpha releases to any other websites. 


Also added a $40 dollar tier for the real life finance researchers out there.

Poll Update

Glasses won by a really small margin.  If I count the votes for other frames it would be slightly larger.   So I went with the most popular frame.   I'll custom texture the frame a bit because these seem pretty plastic... Probably change it to a glossy black.

Glasses Poll Redo

More options this time, its all I got so no more changes.  Also remember its a 18-19 year old so has to fit story too.  Color of glasses can change too.
I need to move forward with renders so go go go.

Guest Room Finished

To the new patreons, I want to share with you guys, how I started in 3d which is making and texturing rooms in 3dsmax.  Its what excites me the most and gives me the most joy.  Its not the usual lewd content post, but I want to share with you guys the guest room I just finished creating.

Development Plan for Feb

Planned release of V0.2.1:

Release date sometime before end of the month, in other words soon.tm.  I want to be flexible in how and when I release to avoid cramming in large workloads especially in a time when I have very little free time (Going many days with very little sleep, usually doesn't make good code).  Just know that my goal has always been to release as much content as possible in a timely manner.

This update will be smaller than the previous, because I want to get s...

Should I increase time-limit

If everyone thinks time limit is an issue I‘ll increase the limit in a small future patch that will  include a small amount of new content.  It would be something small like 50 renders or something so I can have it out in a week or 2.

Development Update:



Its been a while since my last post.   I lost a day or two worth of free time due to having to paint my daughter's new room.  Also reprogramming all aspects of the UI and rummaging through old code has taken much longer than expected.  

The images above are the new navigation UI and phone with all stats when hovered over will create a popup to explain what the...

Angela or Alice?

I haven't forgotten about the 4k wallpaper for last month.  Since the v0.2 is mostly about choosing these two girls its only fitting for there to be a poll on the wallpaper as well.  Since I want to make sure all the game content I want to fit in will be in there.  The wallpaper will be sent out on release date.

Before and after of my current post work

 

In my last post I mentioned, how I was removing the grain from the skin.  I would like to give a before and after especially in an image with dark shadows.

Before:

Notice how in the shadows there's a lot of pixelation.

Some good news and some bad news...

Lets start the bad news first...  My UI designer has recently been under a heavy work schedule so won't be able to complete the UI by the 15th.  So currently it looks like its not possible to hit that deadline.  He's done amazing work so far...  and its understandable that sometimes life gets in the way of things.

The good news is I have found away to nearly completely remove the grain of renders on skin in photoshop by repainting her skin a bit. If you right click on the i...

V 0.2 Release Dates

1/15/2018:

  • $5+ patrons (V 0.2)  
  • Public (V 0.1b UI Updates)

1/29/2018:

  • $1 patrons (V 0.2)

2/12/2018:

  • Public (V 0.2)


This will probably end up being one of the slowest updates.  Partly because I had to go back and reprogram the UI, but also because its the first time I set a deadline for myself and optimizing my workflow was a big problem for the first few weeks of this month.  I'm confident, I ...
