Devlog 10/30/23

Thank you for your patience everyone, last month and half was hectic here with paperwork and family.

I worked everyday and with no small amount of external help, we finally managed to implement a new big feature that stressed me out, pushing past engine mechanics considered normal. More on that in the next posts for patrons

Multiple new features will also be introduced and I can safely say now, they ALL WORK. There are few others that we still have to spend some time on, like a un...

Tier Releases

With Vision's help, I finally found a way to implement a tier access system for the website without having to commit to a secondary payment system or unnecessarily complex automation. It's still manually done but it works very well and tested.

Early releases for higher tiers is something I felt guilty of not being able to provide. Now it's possible. 🥳

We'll discuss the tiers delays further tomorrow, I don't want it overly long.

1st Year Anniversary!

Happy 1 year anniversary to the cast of Red Lucy. An amazing year all around, I constantly kept thriving for better in every aspect and still continue to do so. I realize what I do today is leaps apart from what I introduced in the initial release.

Looked for help where I couldn't get better, met lots of new friends... I came from nowhere and just started doing 3D art one day for no reason in particular so it means a lot!

I wanted to thank you all for the support you've given me a...

Red Lucy 0.8 

First things first, I want to thank everyone for being so patient, I had a lot of stuff to take care of with family in May so I had to double my efforts in June as best I could. Also thanks to the huge help from Vision to edit those thousand animation frames, I managed to work on my biggest and most am...

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay and silence, my family came in three weeks ago. Wasn't really planned so it's hard to manage. They're on vacation but not me. 😅

As for 0.8 release, I have a few renders still to dish out, text and scenes are done and I'm coding it all as of right now. All animations are done and edited. Thanks to Vision taking care of those, I can now go for longer and crazier with them.

We're at 17 animations for this one and some of them are fairly l...

Red Lucy 0.8 - Previews #3

Ok.

If you like Anna. This is the one.

I'm splitting that morning with her into two possible outcomes based on where your eyes wander the most, if they do. Lots of interesting animations, learned some new techniques and improved greatly in that department. Starting to do things like hair animation.

Did I say two outcomes?... Maybe I meant three but I am not showing that, it's a surprise you'll see for yourself. 

If you thought Anna was supposed to be slow-burn......

Red Lucy 0.8 - Previews #2

Hello everyone!

A few things to talk about. First things first, since last update, I decided to stop smoking for good and it's been rough... But the worst is over. Still pressing a little harder than usual on the keyboard keys though. 👇😅

Rendering is going nicely as shown in the previews above. I had some nasty skin texture problems for Anna in this specific scene's lighting, she's a lot more high resolution then when we first met her in that backyard. So I decided to show ...

Red Lucy 0.8 - Previews #1

Hello everyone, I'm a little late for previews, had a lot of personal affairs to take care of after easter.

Still rendering 24/7. Chapter 2 opens on the second flashback from the past, it starts sweet and there's a lot of physics involved.

I practiced a lot early this month on setting up custom hair physics. Really like how they look now and it's getting easier to do. Now it's just computer taking it's sweet time to calculate them.

Hope you had a good easter weekend and i...

Poll - Chapter I favorite(s)

With the closing of Chapter I and now that you all know a little more about our girls and their personalities, I was curious to see which one is/are your favorite(s).

Nothing related to development, just a general poll for everyone while I keep working on next update.

Winner will get a set of special renders, for different tiers. So SFW and NSFW.

Multiple votes are possible. Ties will be grouped. I will vote too 😎

I have everything I need

Hello everyone!

I just finished rendering today, I have everything needed to close what I consider the first "chapter". I went beyond what I expected this ending to be. 

Also took this occasion to start revealing secrets surrounding the story, it's getting  interesting to write now. I'm editing all the extras but I'm well around the 150 renders, plus animations so that makes 330 renders minimum counting frames.

Winter was rough, it's over now, snow is melting and I...

Hello everyone, Sorry for the silent week. I was very busy building and optimize environments for future updates (I hate doing this, it's so dull 😴).

I also worked on 2 updates simultaneously last month, first one is all about expanding that last sex scene and closing what I consider the first chapter of the story. I'm in the last phase for that with 80 renders and 5 animations, probably need a few more.

Second is the follow-up update, all about the morning with Anna, already h...

Red Lucy 0.7 - Preview #2

Hello everyone,

The expanded last scene is coming along well. Should be over pretty soon.

Looks like a large addition from what I already have, I also cranked the detail a little more and did better lighting overall.

If it's really that big I'll drop a release with a proper ending on top featuring all characters before continuing on to the morning after, we'll see 🤔. Also coming with a working replay gallery Vision cooked up.

Sienna - Final

Using those long winter nights to finalize the more complex environments and assets I'll need in the near future. Story is getting interesting to write as I'm about to introduce the third and last activity of our main character.

Also comes with its new lady, Sienna, the driving school owner and FIA scout. She's not part of the main group but still very important concerning that particular activity.

Now back on grinding those renders for 0.7. See you soon.

Pole winner - Red Lucy 0.7 Previews

I think it's pretty clear which outfit won the poll. Happy about the result, the other one is a bit of a nightmare to manipulate. But it will probably come back at some point for a more simple setup.

Here's how all the possible variations look like in the entirely custom environment "Gramp's farm", infamous for its savage chickens. 😅

I mostly go for green when it comes to Anna so that green-striped looks good to me! And it fits the lady perfectly. 👌

Welcome to New Patrons - Random Renders

Glad everyone enjoyed the new update, I'm having one or two days off chilling and "recuperate", I think is the technical word.

Going back at it on 10/11th overnight. Begin writing and posing some renders missing from that last scene.

Made those up there for fun. Well, not entirely all fun, it's a character still in testing. I have to try and optimize, tweak and judge how heavy she is to render so she will look perfect when the time comes for her to enter the set.

Hello everyone!

Some of you may know my family stayed a (very) long while during the holidays. Still worked everyday but it was hard to find the calm and focus I need.

Anyway, been back at it for the last 15 days and I can finally say I'm done. Editing, typing all that, quick testing and it's out. I've put a lot more work and renders to make up for the delay, story is will be going on a quicker pace now.

Update was supposed to be out yesterday as a personal goal but now I'm...
