[Episode Canopus] Progress Update III

Just a short progress update. MC and his companion are pretty busy. They made a plan and are trying to advance their ideas as much as I do. Currently I'm rendering, editing images and some scripting to see if it all fits together or if I need some in-between images. 

Starting tomorrow I have 2 weeks of vacation from my real job. I'll be on the road for a week and won't be able to do any rendering but I will try to get some writing done in the evenings. The rest of the vacation I wi...

[Episode Canopus] Vote - Additional Side Character

In the last progress update I announced I would add another side character for this episode that will get a few lewd shots and a solo scene in the next update. Maybe the character will even return in Act 2.

The character will be another Squad Attendant. She would also be holding lectures for the colonists in the few months before landing on their new home.

I created 3 different characters...

[Episode Canopus] Progress Update II & Vote Announcement

Episode 2 is pretty much sketched out. Episode 2 will focus on MC and Selene trying to find a solution to their current situation. Currently ~12 pages are more or less written out. I think it will become longer than the first episode. Depending on how fast rendering will progress, I may need to cut the episode somewhere in between.

I started rendering this weekend, but the count is currently still below 20.

The images in this progress update are some more elements I want to add th...

[Episode Canopus] Progress Update I

Last week didn't come along with much progress regarding content of the next update. I took care of some issues / bugs that appeared after the first release. Most are fixed, some still give me a headache.

Anyway, i didn't ignored the update completely. I sketched the timeline a little more and started writing for the first scene.

I wanted MC and Selene to crawl through vents in order to be able to get to another room so they won't just walk along the hallways. I think this could c...

Progress Update - Dialogue editing leads to delay

I received feedback on the latest test build. The engine works fine, just a couple of copy and paste errors, but everything else goes pretty smoothly. However, the quality of the dialogue seems to be "contentious".

Critics where, I'm using sentences that native speakers probably wouldn't use. So grammar and sentence structure were one point. Another issue was the amount of swearing I added and some repetitive dialogue.

I had to decide if I would try to improve it myself even if I ...

Progress Update

Test-Build is finally finished and i am quite happy with it. Had to do quite some refactoring on the engine after play testing to make it more robust. If the tests are going well i will probably release the first episode this weekend.

The first episode is mostly linear. After the main story of the first chapter is finished there are a few small events to play in free roam mode and a few secrets to be found. 

I have still quite a few things i want to add to the engine, but for...

Progress Update

Hey,

first release is getting closer. Renders should be all done except a few secret images maybe. Current focus is on finalizing dialog and script. Hopefully done by next weekend. After that I need to address the bugs and issues. If those are fixed it's time for intensive testing.

Before working on the next update i need to better plan a schedule and need to optimize my workflow. Especially for posing animations. They took way to long and shouldn't be done last.

Progress Update

Major scenes for chapter one are written and rendered. 2 rather short scenes for the main story need to be rendered. 1 of 7 short events for the free-roaming mode is rendered. I am currently posing and rendering the bigger lewd scene of chapter one. First release is coming closer.
