Hello, everyone!
This week we continued to focus on the script and made little changes to the upcoming scenes. Back in the CH02 and CH03 updates, we had branching moments for different scenes that were happening at the same time. 0.6 will have similar moments, and slowly but surely these moments will begin to alter events in bigger ways. The effect of the branching has been quite subtle so far but it won't stay like that.
We considered a Freeplay moment with the...

Hello, everyone!
The weekly grind has continued. Posing, building, coding and some post-processing and scriptingânothing out of the ordinary this week. We finished a small custom set, which leaves us with one final set to build before we have everything we need for 0.6.
We also made some edits to the script and cut some content out. We could feel our fingers itching for some scope creep again, but we refrained ourselves. This time we'll stick to our plan and k...

Hello, everyone!
Progress was slower than we'd hoped for this week. We faced some issues with the outdoor sets and lightning, but we eventually managed to find a way to work around it. And the parts that we couldn't work around, well... we'll just pretend those don't exist!
We've started post-processing the raw renders and coding them into the game. Beginning next week, we'll start implementing SFX as the coding of the current content progresses.
We've als...

Hello, everyone!
This week was mostly spent posing, set building, animating, and exploring new textures/assets. Alongside creating new renders, we played around with some animations that we were interested in trying before but couldn't implement due to rendering times. There are always little moments that could greatly benefit from some short animations (looping or non-looping) and for this update we'll finally get to try those out!
We also continued work on scr...

Hello, everyone!
A routine week is behind us, and it went by without issues! Sometimes small and annoying problems can become part of the workflow and slow things down, but the beginning of this development cycle has been suspiciously painless. Last cycle, we started running into problems towards the end. Broken textures and poke-through everywhere... We'll see what kind of fun little surprises are in store for us this time around, but hopefully none.
We're goin...

Hello, everyone!
This week we continued working on the sets, hunted for assets, scripted and finished off the outfits for the girls in 0.6. There was a small heart attack moment when one of our sets magically erased itself from the folders. We definitely did not delete it ourselves accidentally while organizing a few weeks ago or anything. Luckily, there was a backup. It was a few revisions old, but a backup nonetheless. A stark reminder to keep backups of ev...

Hello, everyone!
This week we'll start visually showing our progress, and the style we chose can be found in the image header above. We added multiple bars for the categories that are most relevant to show our progress. This style may change still, but we'll roll with it for a few weeks at least to get a feel for it.
The bars represent finished work, such as scenes written, sets designed and renders completed. And as always, these are rough estimations based on ...

0.6 Status Update #4
Hello, everyone!
Our week summed up: posing, set building, tree planting and scripting. While waiting for new content and coding, we also worked on adding SFX and proper ambience where it was missing in previous chapters.
The next day in Summer Heat is also about to begin, so goodbye dark scenes! It was nice seeing ya. While intimidating at first, working with darkness became fun once we got the hold of it. Returning to morning and day scenes even feels a bit st...

Hello, everyone!
We've kick-started the hamster wheel for 0.6. There isn't much to report this early in the development cycle, but this week we've continued working on render fixes and some quality of life features. We also plan to make some changes to the main menu, including a new theme and newer portraits of the girls. The menu portraits are starting to look a bit... outdated, but they'll still be in the menu for those who enjoy vintage 2022 content.

Hello, everyone!
It was a great week. We went over several quality of life changes for the game, such as adding auto-play and the option for players to customize their replay experience. Some renders where the textures were bothersome were fixed, and there are many, many more in the queue still waiting to be fixed. We also addressed some issues reported in Discord. We'd like to thank everyone who has reported bugs, typos and render mistakes to us so far! It really hel...

Hello everyone,
It's time for the status updates to continue! We skipped last week's status update due to the release of CH05, which went pretty smoothly on our end. No huge hiccups, no burned computers and no delays. There were a couple of typos and minor bugs that slipped through, but hopefully those didn't ruin anyone's day or night.
We were extremely relieved to finally deliver the update to everyone. It was a long process but that's now behind us. We will s...

Hello, everyone!
We're going to keep this status update short (for some reason it's usually never short when this gets mentioned). This week we worked on restructuring the main menu gallery to allow for more images, tuning it for a better viewing experience, adding sub-folders and other future proofing changes.
Besides the grunt work of fixing renders and post-processing, we've also continued scripting 0.6.

Hello, everyone!
This week we'll quickly reflect on the size of CH05, development decisions and some other little things. But we'll try to keep the status update short regardless.
Current status first. This week was more hectic than expected. All the little things that we've pushed to the back burner are now rapidly being brought back as we wrap everything up. But despite the work being hectic, it's been quite enjoyable as every mark on the checklist brings us one step closer to...

Hello, everyone!
This week was a nice grind. Lots of extra little tasks got done, including plenty of coding and SFX. The rendering out and creation of new content also went well. There's still some content creation remaining, but we can finally breathe a sigh of relief as this stretch is coming to an end. For you, the player, the updates may be over in hours or even mere minutes, but for us it took hundreds of hours (and copious amounts of caffeine) to reach this point. Such is...

Hello, everyone!
The end is near! The end of this development cycle, that is, and nothing worse. Last weekend we spent some time finding the source of some crashes and stability issues that were causing us headaches. One more pro tip on how to crash Daz3d learned! One of the sources ended up being a pretty simple "user error" issue. One of those oversights that leaves you feeling pretty dumb after figuring it out...

Hello, everyone!
This week we carried on with the edits and render changes we decided on previously. Some dialogue was cut, a few renders removed, and a couple of re-renders added to the queue. There was also some crashing during rendering this week. The source behind these crashes remains to be discovered, but they luckily didn't affect anything except mental stability. Just one of those perks of working with 3D sometimes.
There was a surprising amount of fixes required for the...
