Progress Report:

Here is the progress report for the next few releases coming...

I will have to finish this week off from working over 100+ hours at my jobs each week as it has been busy busy busy. I have been rendering like a madman while I am at the store and I have the free time to do so. I am doing about 5 to 10 renders while I am there, and also doing some re-writes to the main story of Rain as well as Secrets. (making graphs and storyline corrections.)

I have the weekend off... So, sleep, ea...

The road path for 2024....

Hello everyone. I know that it has been a long time since I posted anything here. Now that the holidays are almost over and family has stopped coming over or bothering me with a million questions on how to fix their computers, I am back working on my projects.

Wrtcf - With rain comes the flood, chapter 3 should be ready 1st or second week of January. I have added a little more with chapter 3. Zoey does come into the storyline now. There will be a pivotal choice made for the chapter 4 ...

Working on updates across everything...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that I have been making quite a bit of progress on the newest chapter for WRCTF redux. I have also been working on making the images even better with lighting and camera work. As you can see, the images are becoming more realistic... No AI either...

I am looking at finishing the WRCTF chapter in a week and a half, if I am on schedule with everything else I am doing. I already at 700+ lines in it, and about 121 images done for it so far. I ...

2.7 Update for Everyone, and continuation for WRCTF!

It is Sunday, and I want to provide my promise to you all. 2.7 Beta is now available to all Patreons.

There are some little issues I will be taking care of for 2.7 this week. I am also about 1/3 way done with the next chapter of WRCTF. As you can see from above, this is part of the next chapter in this series. Script should be done this week as well, and the renders possibly done by the end of next week. 

Thanks so much for everything you do for me :)

Version 2.7 is dropping this week!

I am actually glad to tell you that 2.7 will be dropping this week coming! Yes, it's true...

I have played through most of the game so far, and fixed some other minor bugs in the program. Certain items were not in the correct order, and I have slowed things down a bit adding more content and storyline so that 2.7 can mix in well with 2.8 and 2.9. 

I am just about done doing the last of the triggers for Angela's work ethics, and Brynn's route. The Mari events for 2.7 have been...

Cleaning up and making things go slower...

OK... More to come

Now, there is more done than expected. I have been working hard all week on getting these things done. 

What is happening: My mother is back home. She is doing fine. Thought she was having a heart attack, or a blood clot issue. That seemed not to be the case. It turns out it was just anxiety and stress from her husband having major issues as well. All things are good now... Thank GOD!

Business has slowed down, so I am able to work on this and render while working and waiting ...

A little teaser for being patient with me...

Just a little teaser of what is to happen in 2.7.

Thank you all for caring about me and my situations. That really made me feel as if I am wanted :) Have a good day!

Finishing up the last of the events...

Hey everyone!

So, here is the situations on everything from the game, to life in general and everything in-between...

Life has been turned upside down for me yet again. I have been working non-stop for the last week and a half, haven't had time to even care for myself. Meaning, I didn't even shower for a week as I have been working 2 jobs, trying to start a comic book online store, hiring someone to help me do that, plus the other store I own, and then helping my buddy with trucks...

Thought I would share...

Brynns photoshoot is now done being rendered and scripted! YAY!

Only 3 more events to do for ver. 2.7.1a... Then onto the link-ups in the game.

I hope you have a great weekend! I'll be busy rendering :)

The good news...

Here is a late but wanted update. I am sorry that it has taken me some time to write, but my busy season is almost to an end. I have been working non-stop at my work, creating a new store for the comics I sell, and doing my regular business of fixing everyone's computers and vehicles. 

On to the news...

I have finished the Mari events for the upcoming 2.7 release, and have also finished the Lynn event block that was from 2.5 onward. Angela's events are almost finished. Look t...

GAMEPLAN FOR NEXT FEW UPDATES COMING...

Hey All!

The image today is not from a game, but for a contest I am doing for rendering with a SyFy theme. Now that my busy season is almost done and I will be able to concentrate more on doing what I truly love, I wanted to give all of you my game plan for the next few updates.

Secrets will be the next in line, as I have already done most of the renders and also nearly finish the line-up of what's to come for 2.7 and 2.8. Version 2.7A should be ready in a few weeks. I have a lot ...

Just another update...

Hello all! I thought I would write to you and say that everything has been going good. I have been working on doing updates for secrets lately, and finishing off the renders for WRCTF that needed more attention for details. 

I have been super busy at work and also building my first VCS Machine just to do rendering. One of my friends decided he wanted a new machine with a 4080 installed, and for building it, he gave me a 3080 TI and another ryzen 9 processor. So, I decided to build ...

WRCTF Redux has been UPDATED!

Alright... Finally... WRCTF redux has now been updated with chapter two fully completed. The changelog is as follows:

• Added over 250 images
• Added a little game inside where you have to find the hidden rain icons during gameplay in order to unlock the hidden gallery images
• Added Character Infoscreens for the 4 main characters. (This will probably be updated later.
• Added a new GUI System (Same as Secrets)
• Added images for the names, instead of the...

A New Type of Gallery System for WRCTF...

I actually did it! I made a gallery system for WRCTF Redux. As you can see, there are different images during the gameplay to find that will unlock certain game images. I thought it would make this a bit more interactive and fun to find the images that are hidden through out the game play.

I am almost finished with the character info-screens as well. Those are gonna be easier than it is to implement the gallery. I have chapter 2 still to do, but I thought I would share the news!

H...

On and on...

Only good news tonight... I have only seven more scenes to go for the finish of chapter two. Chapter three is already in the works for writing... (Only because I couldn't render)

A few things to look for in this update:

A new GUI, such as with Secrets. The names have been changed to graphical icons, and I am trying to make a different type of gallery for this game, which will include hidden images through-out the game to unlock images. Also each character will have their own set o...

Wait!... What?

Hello once again on this beautiful Sunday. Here is the news from the software from hell...

The system is now back up, and it is finally rendering correctly, the servers are all in sync, content library is now no longer giving me issues, and the computer is now running better than it did. Thanks to my good friend LegacyUser, he had helped me figure many things out why the machine was getting corrupted. 

So my next plan is to make a clone backup again of the new SSD I am using ...

Quick Update on things...

As you all know by now, databases are the worst! 

I have reloaded windows and all the programs onto a new drive, and started importing over 4500 assets into the daz system. I have finally successfully rendered a few scenes. Here is the issues going forward:

Each scene may have to be re-made as the database and metadata for daz changed since the updates and the drive becoming corrupt. I managed to save most of the files and thank god I had a backup of all the characters in the...

Computers... Why?

I am very behind on what I wanted to accomplish with this, this week. My main computer I render with decided to have a 4TB drive start having sort of a diabetic seizure. The databases across the drive had errors everywhere, the .duf's became corrupt and the image folders had no more images! I brought my computer to my shop and ran the hard drive through a series of fixes and drive repairs. I was able to get everything back and put onto another drive I had in my secondary computer (Angela) whi...

WRCTF Update Coming...

Hello once again!

A few things... I have been smashed at work, and also broke a tooth last Friday, so I was down and out on Friday and Saturday, so I did not do too much work on anything. All this week, I have been rendering the chapter 2 for WRCTF Redux. 

I decided to give Secrets some time off for about a week, and I wanted to get the next chapter done for Rain. Since this is not as complicated as Secrets, it is going nice and smooth. It's a breather :) Chapter 2 is almost ...

Update 2.6F has dropped...

If you read below, that is the changelog for this update.  i have added a few more things to this, and fixed yet another trigger that allows a scene to happen after yoga 2. The Mari event has started and will finish in the next update.

My plan for the next update is going to take about 3 weeks to finish, so look for it come mid-July. Thanks for all your help and support! I appreciate it all!

New screens added... Update almost done!

Hello and good evening everyone!

As you can see, I have changed the GUI for another part of the game. I have also implemented the names to be graphical instead of the boring text. I could not read the names well enough, so I decided to make it more... pretty.

As far as this update is concerned, I am almost complete with the final update for 2.6. There has been a lot of things I have tried to trigger, and almost have this finished. I have one or two more things to do to set up the ...

Update next weekend... Hopefully

It has been a busy week for me, barely having time to go through all the requests and comments on these platforms. I think I will be done with those this weekend, however I have already started making a few minor changes that won't affect the game loads or saves.

One of the things I am doing is changing the names from a text version to a graphic version, since I believe it will be easier to read. A minor change... I have created a heart system instead of the number system for the info p...

Update yet again...

This is the update and minor fixes for the following: The var of meetflora has been added... (I misspelled the var. Sorry :) )

You could visit the college in stage 1, which is no longer there. You must be in stage 2 for it to happen.

Thank you for helping get these errors out :) I appreciate it all. Thanks to Chad for really pushing the envelope with the bugs. I appreciate you!

Not really about a game, but...

Hey all,

This is what I do on my downtime from everything work or game related. I have rebuilt this mini cooper from the ground up. When I first got her, she had frontal damage, didn't start, had other major issues. I have now started painting the car and  have detailed it to the extreme. 

As far as the game is concerned, I should have the fixes ready by the end of Sunday (maybe earlier) since I am playing through it and finding triggers that aren't happening. The order ...

On the weekend...

I worked pretty much all day Saturday and worked at night on the game. I decided to take a break on Sunday and work on my car, and fixed that as well. Today... I am back in full swing on the fixes and additions.

I am implementing a feature (A reminder) that will tell you when to call Angela during the times you need to. Also works with Val and Brynn and Lynn at the moment. 

I have fixed the soft lock for Brynn at the library. And thank you for helping everyone else out with t...

R2 bug fixes...

I have read everyone's comments and I will be making the fixes and figuring out why people can't talk to Brynn in the library. I am also adding a phone call from Angela to help with the fix for not seeing the photoshoot scene. I am sorry that for some reason these are not triggering as they are suppose to... And I can't tell you why either. I will let you all know when it happens. 

My main concern is getting these things out so we all can have fun :) This should happen by the weeke...

Just a Mock-up of the webcam site in the game...

Hey! I just wanted to post this as a mockup to see what everyone has to say. This will be in the next update!

Thanks to all! Have a good night :)

Just wanted to share...

I just wanted to share one more thing before I finish up for the night...

Have a great night everyone!

Thanks for all the feedback lately. I appreciate it all!
