Status update #41 coming up! This week we've been hitting the remaining content hard. Mainly renders, but also a couple of animations. Not much remains when looking at the screenplay, and the biggest task soon is rendering everything out. Including, of course, all the animations. Last weekend we did some playtesting and made some editing decisions. We decided to cut a couple of planned animations as they were not necessary. This saves us some rendering time, ...

This week was a breeze. Sometimes everything just works out perfectly with nothing to complain about, and this was one of those times. Wonderful! The renders from the last scenes have been coming out of the queue at a steady pace and they're looking great. Ms. Hill's renders especially, as her colors just pop. Her content is also something that many people have been waiting for very eagerly, and 0.5 should provide a good taste of it.
We also went throug...

We are nearing the end of the development of CH05. If everything works out well, we are realistically looking at a September/early October release. We still don't have an exact release date due to all the different variables involved, but in the next few weeks these variables will get smaller and smaller. There are roughly 300 renders remaining before we can move onto the final part of development. This includes more playtesting, editing, fixing, poli...

Last weekend we continued working on Bree, finished Eve's scene and reworked some of the details regarding it. We also did a ton of post-processing to prevent a backlog from building up in that department. The scene with Bree has progressed well this week and will continue being the focus this weekend. A bunch of little changes were also made to polish the evening scene overall. Finally, we also did some coding, SFX and Ember testing.
This week we thought to inc...

This week we have a small update regarding the numbers of CH05.
The render count for this update is going to be in the 3000 territory. We estimated in the past that it would be roughly double the size of CH04, which would have been about 2400 renders, but we passed that a while ago and now it's definitely bigger than that. Animation count is something we'll save for later since they aren't and won't be rendered for a while.
Last weekend we focused on probl...

In last week's status update, we said that it can be quite relaxing to do some post-processing from time to time... well, scratch that. Post-processing sucks, especially when there's thousands of renders work through. Luckily we've been doing some light post-processing throughout the entire development instead of saving everything to the very end, like we did in some previous chapters. Either way, we finally eliminated all the issues from a couple of scenes tha...

This week our focus has been on polishing. We started with a couple of playthroughs of the chapter and made a list of the many little things that require fixing, and things that we just want to improve upon a little bit. And there's a whole bunch of that! Thankfully, most of the fixes are on the coding side and thus relatively quick and easy to do.
We also have our first counts of the length of CH05, and they are in the 2h+ territory. This time will vary wildly ...

This week we continued working on the spicy scenes. Blender has been in heavy use throughout the week for that extra oomph, and we like to think we're getting better at using Blender as well. Only time will tell! One thing that's been a bit frustrating is that Daz3D (the main rendering program used to create Summer Heat) locks high resolution imports for their own published artists only, and common peons such as ourselves must make do with base resolution mo...

This week we'll focus on the content we have so far, and what still remains to be created. We have passed the point of doubling the content of CH04. In quick numbers, CH05 currently looks like this:
The last stretch of work consists of several hundred renders still, mainly remaining scenes of Eve, Bree and Mia.
For a good while n...

This week we made a lot of progress and eliminated a whole bunch of assignments from our to-do lists.
A ton of new renders, coding, SFX, and a ridiculous amount of render fixes! A long time ago, many of the render mistakes had to be "spot rendered", but nowadays most of them can be fixed in post-processing. This has been an amazing time saver. Small skin poke-throughs are incredibly common when you start posing and rendering, especia...

This week we've been working on coding, minor sets, scripting, assets and breast textures. Much of this week's work was spent on the technical side, or "under the hood", so to speak. Many renders also finished this week as the scenes were simpler and lighter, and thus faster to render. The remaining scenes are also light, and as far as the rendering department is concerned, it should be smooth sailing.
Ms. Hill's scene is now under work. After that, there are st...

This week we'll do a small run down of where we're at. We're currently sitting at over 2000 renders made for CH05 and there's quite a lot remaining still. Our estimation some time ago was that CH05 would be twice the size of CH04, and this hasn't changed. CH05 is definitely larger by a huge margin.
The Ember section is also quite beefed up this chapter, with plenty to chew through. We've worked on more content for Becca and Nina, and we're also introducing two n...

Progress has been smooth this week. The animations are looking good and are waiting to be rendered out. We'll be rendering the animation frames last when everything else is ready so that we can focus on testing and polishing meanwhile.
We also did a lot of coding and SFX, and some tinkering with textures. There are a couple of larger scenes remaining that will take a lot of time and effort to create, but they will be very... well, intimate. There will b...

This week we continued work on fixes, focusing on little annoyances and artifacts that are left behind from rendering. We've learned a lot when it comes to the rendering process and how to prevent mistakes, but sometimes weird stuff just happens... like this square:

How did it happen? We don't know, since it didn't appear again when re-rendering! But it's a good example...

This week we've done some of the extra work surrounding the update. Little changes, edits and additions here and there. Club Freya's characters received plenty of attention and a whole bunch of render fixes were performed in the process. One of the largest scenes has almost finished rendering as well, topping out at over 500 renders. That's almost the size of the release of CH01!
Posing and animation work has also continued. The render queue has been slowly building up in...

This week we've been working on coding, animations, posing and lots of rendering. Some days just go by in a blink and the hours disappear, especially when you're knee-deep in animation frames. We ended up cutting a couple of animations from CH05, but don't worry, they weren't lewd animations! We'll save non-lewd animations for the future when we have a secondary rendering rig. That way, it won't be cutting into our usual rendering and creation times.

This week most of our effort was spent on editing, coding and creating new renders. We also tackled a small scene that's been sitting on the shelf until it was ready to be worked on. It's a small flashback/memory scene. We've been unsure how to approach it until now, but everything's finally coming together smoothly now that all the pieces are in place.
We have several flashbacks planned to show the girls' background stories, the first one being the one in CH04 ...

On the menu this week: coding, scripting and posing. Our focus has been on preparing some of the remaining scenes for content creation and saving time on little things that end up eating up too much time in the long run. Looking back, our process in the beginning was very time consuming... We've learned a lot since then to save time, and the new hardware has also helped. A lot!
There are still several planned scenes without renders, and in the upcoming weeks we'...
