Friday Update - October 15, 2021

Hello, Patrons!

I have made very good progress with the edit, which required a little more editing of other scenes than I expected. There is only a little more rendering to do, along with an animation.

There is still some significant post-processing work to do but I expect that to go relatively quickly.

I am pretty damn happy with what is now about to come out soon™. The new stuff strikes what I think will be a good balance of wtf-ness, some cringe, some comedy, maybe a li...

Friday Update - October 8, 2021

Hello, Patrons! It is now October and there's a rule somewhere that states that Adult Visual Novel creators must provide you with scary or spooky or Halloween-inspired renders. So here's Shannon in a crypt! Is she waking up in a crypt? Was she brought to the crypt? Will she become a vampire, the mortal enemy of Maeve the werewolf? Stay tuned!

I apologize for the lack of update last week. I didn't really have any information to provide you. I do have information this week and I'll be sur...

Hello, Patrons and Public alike!

There is some important news in this update, so please make sure to read until the end. And let's get right into it!

Rendering has just a few days to go. After rendering I will have a significant amount of post-processing to work on, including backgrounds for renders, tying some renders together, and splicing together animations. Then I have coding, final editing where I will likely have to ...

Hello, Patrons, and happy weekend!

As always, sorry for the lack of updates. Sometimes I get busy and figure that I should just keep going rather than working on an update. Other times I figure that I should offer you guys a render of Maeve with underboob.

The update is getting there! It's at the point where I'm about to start working on post-processing along with the renders. This update will have some significant post-pro...

Hello, Patrons!

I am pleased to announce that after several days of antibiotics I can finally mostly hear out of my right ear again! I'm feeling very little pain now and I'm mostly caught up on my sleep, so I'm back in business.

The bad news is that this essentially killed a week's worth of production, but the good news is that it's not a significant delay and things are still moving forward. I believe I have only one anima...

Kind of an Update

Hello, Patrons!

Sorry for the lack of update last Friday. I came down with an ear infection, fun! It happened to me last year as well, so I hope it's not some chronic thing. If you've never had one, make sure you don't ever get one. They hurt. A lot. The constant pain pretty much puts you out - eating sucks because you can feel the pain on that entire side of your head. You can't sleep. And, unfortunately, you can't work.

I'm about 50% now so I'm doing OK, but I did unfortunately ...

Hello, Patrons!

Here is another new lady you will see in the next update - her name is also [redacted], can you imagine the coincidence? :) Unlike last week's [redacted], this one looks pretty much exactly how she looks in the game. Last week's [redacted] will unfortunately not be wet and wearing a wet t-shirt. But I think you will like what she does wear when you see her!

It was a somewhat productive week. I got a lot of t...

One of the things that is necessary when creating with Daz3d is experimentation. I try to devote an hour to just playing around with different looks on different figures every few days or so.

Give me your thoughts! Cliffhangers

Hello, Patrons and Public alike!

I would love to hear your thoughts about cliffhangers. I know they're somewhat of a controversial issue, and, in my opinion, they're often used as a lazy tool to introduce drama.

But cliffhangers can also be used in interesting ways, especially when you're doing a parody.

So what do you think? I offer you this render of Angel as payment for your vote...

I was just about to post a public poll with this image, but then I remembered Patreon kind of frowns on NSFW renders. So I'm going to remove the transparency on that dress. But it'd be a shame if no one got to see it the way it's intended, so here ya go!

Hello, Patrons!

As I've mentioned before, most of the renders in this coming update will be spoilers, so I can't really show them to you. And that sucks! I don't like keeping things from you guys and I want to show you what I've been working on. So I'm going to introduce you to one of several new characters!

Hello, Patrons! Sorry again for missing the last Friday update. This summer has been kind of full of stuff.

The good news is that I am home alone for a few days for the first time since I can remember! Yesterday was my first night alone and of course I used that time to frolic naked as one does when one is alone. But today I have been back to work and man is it ever nice working without interruptions!

Hello, Patrons!

My apologies for the lack of update last week. I had family here for the past month, eventually up to 5 people in my 1-bathroom house, and they left last weekend. I took a couple of days to decompress after that. I know I said I'll get some screenshots and polls out to you guys and you should be able to expect them this coming week.

Hello, Patrons!

It's a holiday weekend, so I'm going to keep it short. Everything is progressing along, albeit it's still a little slower than I'd like. I am soon taking some time off of my real life work, however, so I expect things will really pick up at that point.

I am really loving this update. There are some updates with some serious conversations and emotions, like the last one... and then there are updates like this...

Hello, Patrons!

I hope you had a better week than I had. I was busy as hell with RL work and family distractions. It was not my most productive week.

However, I have figured out the secondary ending and writing and storyboarding are basically all done for the update. That means that everything else should start going at a faster pace. Next week I'll probably set writing at 99%, because writing is never done until I finish c...

Sorry about the late update. Busy weekend. And sometimes I get on a bit of a roll with the update and it feels like if I talk about it, the roll will stop, heh.

The writing on the update is essentially done, except for the ending. And the ending is not going to require much writing. What it does require is figuring out just how I'm going to finish the update. There's one ...

Poll - The Axe Decision

Hello patrons and the public alike!

After every update, I like to see what kind of choices the players have made. This time I'm wondering whether you chose to go with the axe or if you chose the bed? I am only looking for an answer for your "canon" play-through - the one that you think fits your character the best. So, what did you choose?

0.5v3 will be pretty much a stand-alone little story. That story begins with this phone call.

Please keep in mind this render requires post processing. I'll be replacing the phone screen and denoising the image.

Hello, Patrons!

Hope you all had a wonderful week. I had a good week on several fronts, but it has not been quite as productive as I'd like on the VN front, unfortunately.

I wasn't thrilled with the animations I made last week - I wasn't happy with the character and I wasn't thrilled with the outfit either. So I changed them. And then I redid the longer of the animations. But then it turned out to not be great. So I redi...

Hello, Patrons!

I hope you all enjoyed 0.5v2! I received a lot of compliments from many of you and it continually amazes me how kind you guys are.

Of course, there's also legitimate criticism, such as the episode being too short for the length of time it took to develop. As I've mentioned earlier, I am taking steps to make sure that doesn't happen again.

At the top of each Friday update, like this one, yo...

Tonight is the night!

It took an all-nighter, but 0.5v2 is basically complete! I still have to test the code, which I'm sure is horribly broken because I have no idea what I'm doing. I also have to do some of the normal maintenance graphics like the title screen and the end screens. Oh and I also need to look at music, but because this update is somewhat dialog-heavy (for me) it's possible there will be no new music.

The plan is to complete that stuff today between family obligations and get you playing toni...
