Red Lucy 0.3 - Preview #1

View Post

Devlog 31/07/22

Hi everyone,

Before I fully begin to pose and render for the next update, I had to work on the younger counterparts of some of the characters.

0.3 will open on a memory from the past to better understand the relation context in what is about to go down.

That's pretty much it. I won't work for days on those kids, they will only appear for a few dozen renders... Maybe slight adjustments depending on the scene.

Hope you had a good weekend ! Au revoir.

4K Special Render - May Summer Never Ends

Mega-set to close the month and celebrate this update. Now I can begin to work on 0.3.

Really proud of this set, good warm-up and I tried a lot of different image post-processing. They all look fantastic.

On the technical side, it also confirms that my rig can take an FFFFM setup so... yeah :D

Hope you like it. See you for the first previews of 0.3.

Pre-release update

One fairly long scene in Rose's place to write, render and 5 days left. Lot of work, takes most of my time but it's a good release plan on my own lonesome I think.

This update will be another round of character introductions (little more physical this time). Last round before we get on to the studio job, the un-stucking of our shy MC and the arrival of the 4th girl Nathalie (Can't wait to work with her, time gives me more ideas and they get crazier).

Hope you'll like it.

Progress Report Template

Since I work alone and not as a team, instead of having the regular writing, coding, rendering percentages... The progress report will be fragmented into scenes.

Each filled bar is a snippet from a real render of the completed scene. It also means they are implemented and ready to play.

This way if I can't make it to the end, the update will be out on 25 each month no matter what. I will try my best to not make it abruptly end if that happens.

No rush but deadline is importa...

The Morning After

0.2 will open up on a scene with Kat but she won't be the focus in this update. Time for the other girls to steal the show.

Happy Canada Day to all canadians.

Nathalie Test 1 (4K)

Making sure everything is in the right places, it's hard work but it has to be done :D

Don't let looks deceive you she's a very nice and lovely girl, just don't feed her after midnight.

4th and last main character - Nathalie (FINAL)

She prefers Nat.

This is Rose's studio star model, she actually managed to stay afloat all thanks to her.

I went with a supermodel look with this character because I needed someone with an intimidating shell that hides a sensible and gentle heart. Being a rising star in the business, she is at a crossroad between keeping at it or quit this superficial world she despises.

Unless a new acquaintance gets introduced into her boring and monotonous life to shake things up.

Character Bios

While the computers are rendering the first 2 scenes, " the morning after" basically, I spent some time writing dialogues for the next update and I'll write tonight a quick bio for each girl.

Up there are the pictures for them. I'm really beginning to get a good feel of these characters, they've become even more contrasted from each other since I first made them.

See you soon with the first previews.

Au revoir. :)

New tiers - HD

As you can see I changed the tiers. It's simpler and takes my mind off patreon management to have more time on development.

There will be a patron-only beta release, it's just to see your input, fix bugs and typos that escaped me, assert the general feel. I can't trust my coding to be flawless everytime haha. It's also when I play it myself as a player which I found out is not so easy to do.

Like the saying, Music sounds different to the one who plays it. It is the musician's curs...

Where to begin ?

Hi guys, I have some bad news and very good news so indeed, where to begin ?

I won't talk about the wildfires, hurricane and constant daily blackouts of the last 2 months. So first, I got a second rig to work with (RTX 3090 !).

I went and installed the 3d software like usual, link the 2 systems for a good rendering pipeline. All is well. But when I opened a session I didn't see it was updated to the latest version when I put the key in on setting up. And it updated the 2 systems.<...

Finally electricity came back after 6 days. It's good to see these girls again.

It’s pitch black

Life before internet and electricity.

Apparently the thunderstorm in the eastern part of Canada ravaged more than expected and the death toll keeps rising.

Everything’s fine here, I’m certainly in the mood to write The Path script, get deeper into each character’s background and read Lovecraft for inspiration but after three nights like this it’s getting chilly.

Hope it won’t last.

First wildfires and now this. Canada sigh…

The Path 0.2 - Progress report

Interesting weekend. Saturday I woke up and the forest was on fire right in front of the house.

Nevermind, development keeps on going no matter what, but the view now is black and desolate. 

So I'm very close to done with renders. I'll have to release a shorter update than I planned.

How come ? Because I upscaled the whole game from 720p to FullHD, so I have to remaster all the renders from the beginning, It had to be done. I prefer to do it now before render-count is p...
