The Bridecraft 2 story is a bit shorter than I usually do, I hope you guys like it anyway and most of all I hope you like the rendering quality because the render times were at least twice what I usually work with. (and then you notice something is not right and you have to render again!)
If you are not a current patron, the story can be viewed in game at the theater (in game release at game date: 2018/09/28, so you have to play a game month to read it.)

Hi Patrons!
Just one quick word to thank you for your patience while I was away on my annual getaway with my life partner, "The 5 foot MILF" aka LaFouine. Who by the way has contributed another beautiful Icon for the in game shop on Oliver's laptop. (available with the next client update)
So I'm back, if you have not guessed it with the "Porshe Cayman" Hint, This year's island paradise was Grand Cayman in the Caribbeans. No pirates were met unfortunately but Rum ...

So, there is some Jack, some Charlie and some Emma in this content update.
Also... Next week there will be no weekly update because I'll be traveling to an island paradise with the 5' MILF and re-thinking my career path. (The game is a passion project and a hobby, I'm not re-thinking those joy-sparking areas of my life!)
Anyone care to guess where I'll be headed? (I hope one day to find the Island where Oliver found the spice... sigh...)

work on Bridecraft2 starts now.
I'm hitting some insane render times... 46 minutes, 39GB memory use and all the CUDA juice my RTX2070 Super can spare. Yikes!

Hi everyone,
So I've got some time to work on a story, which one should I pick?
EDIT: Last chance to break the tie!
Here are the synopsis for the 3 stories:
Quadzilla: Set in the newly written present. (FS game period) the city is in a state of imminent uncertainty as Quadzilla decides to leave her riverside park/residence and walks into town. But little does the town know, another threat is coming.

5 new body shapes of charlie have been added. Some taller, some sorter.

So there is a total of 25 new body shapes available in game, many of them are syringe shrunken versions of characters. That means shorter but thicker versions of themselves. Minimum height in the game is 5' so some of them are that short.
20 of those shapes will be featured in the monthly reward, which is not much but still can be fun as a different way to see how characters have changed with the latest build. The reward will come along with the membership update in a day or two, once P...

Charlie got syringed!
his height can now range from 5'3" to 6'2" these shapes are already uploaded to the game server.
Seeing as how what the game's most pressing needs are (renders of shrunken and off the beaten path proportions) I wonder if This month's reward shouldn't be image previews, such as the one on top of this post of a big batch of new body shape renders instead of cut-scenes...
I estimate that I could push ahead and complete the equivalent of 4-5 weekly updates....

She's shorter, she's curvier and more muscular!
The new missing content logging algorithm has spoken, 5 new shapes of Emma at 5'1" - 5'3" (result of a shrink syringe injection or two...) have been added to the game.
Who will it be next week? No way to predict at this point.

Hi Partrons!
Build A9.6 should be available for download tomorrow!
I’m taking a short break from coding to give you some specs for build A9.6… I have removed Amazon’s arena; it was still too buggy and did not have good feedback from the testers so far. Instead there is a Yoga button to make time pass, the actual Yoga feature will be added with the next update. This build is the “inventory” build. Which means Oliv...

5 in-between shapes for Jack.
I'm changing the algorithm that generates the weekly update shape selection so that it gives a higher weight to shapes that are more distant from the currently available shapes of a given height for a given character.
I feel we don't have as urgent a need for [5'11", fitness 3, breast 6, voluptuous 1] when [5'11", fitness 2, breast 6, Voluptuous 3] is already present. in which case [5'11", fitness 0, breas...

Not ready for Alpha testers yet but its coming soon.
The Yoga option will be added to 9.7 or 9.8. What can Yoga do exactly in the Funky-spice game?
Well it depends on your Yoga level. (0 to 6)

New renders of minor characters are ready to upload with the next client version.
So the upcoming update to the client will introduce minor character shops that can be unlocked and allow the purchase of items that can be used or given as gifts for the NPC to use at his chosen rate. Some of them are Spice related but with faster and more specific effect than spice alone, others are buffed versions of real world products like weight gainer shakes and weight loss tea...

I'll be using the Holiday break, to do a coding sprint on the next build. Hopefully we will have a release that includes gifting and inventory (for Oliver and Major NPCs) How gifting will work, is basically on holidays and birthdays Oliver will have an extra conversation Item to make a gift.

This weeks content features Avatars of Charlie's most muscular figure yet at muscles level 14!
Unfortunately it also revealed measurement error for previous avatars of Charlie at 5'11" and 6' of height... I'll have to re-measure and update those stats in the near future.
I'll be working the remaining time until the end of November on the new graphics story: Bride Craft. That might take too much time for me to do the next weekly content update but its for a good cause.
cheers...

I'm soon going to start working on a new story, which will be used as both an in-game "theater" feature and a monthly reward. The entire story will be rendered with iRay and will be using Gen8 actors.
Now, based on the title alone, which one of the two ideas would you want to see rendered first?
EDIT: Maybe pictures will move the vote...

Ava needed those 5 body shapes.
One of them is at 7' with less muscle than the most common growth path.
I guess we're getting there, new variants that run off the common path are officially being rendered.

Hi guys! (and gals)
I just compiled a new build, this one introduces a new feature: When you meet Charlie at the Gym, he can give Oliver a full physical evaluation. Doing so, he compares Oliver to the closest matching friend or relative, which can be both interesting and useful for the FSRI report.
It's not a huge feature but it will be reused for other purposes such as having friendly lifting competitions between characters at the gym or having comparison bits of dialogs for a pr...

It slows down the game launch to a crawl but once you have ONE deliberate action in the game, it gets back to normal speed. Saved games should be fine.

915 images of Oliver have been added to the game, which is 5 body shapes at both end of the skinny/bodybuillder spectrum.
I'm taking a couple of days off work this week, they will be put to good use hoping to have build 9.4 out of the gate ASAP. If 9.4 doesn't fix the game launcher issue that some testers are having, it will at the very least add a layer of logging to help me find the bug.

Right now, based on the saved games on the server we have 7 testers unable to launch and 13 who have been able to either create new games or make progress on old saved games.
I'm still have no clue whatsoever about what is causing the launcher to behave that way.
I've checked the .Net framework versions of some testers and their versions were recent enough. The game is pretty simple, it's basically all .Net
for a few it seemed that deleting the game files in the user folder ...

There is a hard reset to the game that can be done manually by deleting a hidden folder. Typical path would be: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Bloopers_Studio
This is a last resort thing as it will make your saved games inaccessible after deleting the folder. But it seems to work for at least one person who was unable to get in the game after the new build.
