It's the "Refund" update...

Hi all,

So I was going to issue blanket refunds today but it's fairly apparent from messages on my posts, direct messages in my mailbox, discord and the forum that more than quite a few of you think this is a rather poor idea.

You've cited the fact I'm still working on it, that you support me and not a product, that refunding now will slow me down getting the 3090 and a host of equally valid reasons. And they are valid. They are. I get it .

But, being a patron in this indust...

It's the "Let's talk about sex..." sneaky peek post

Sex. The good stuff. :)

I just want to share with you what I'm doing here. We have three types of lewd scenes in H5. The Chris domme module type scene which is a very hands on experience...; VR which is where I can throw POV out of the window and do the scene however I want - and then the main characters scenes which are POV.

For this latter set of scenes some of you will get your first taste of it with Trisha and I thought it might be useful to show exactly how I'm doing this. 2021-03-11 18:46:51 +0000 UTC View Post

It's the "20,000 renders under the C...."

"...hapter file structure if we include animation frames" update.

I know, I know. A bit weak but I couldn't resist doing at least something with 20,000 in the title? For yes, following the additional work and some animation tweaks the render count is now north of 20,000 with a current score on the door of 2,200 stills and 134 animations - only one of which is of a door opening too!

Given that this lot was largely made on a single machine until the middle of last m...

It's the "I think I have it sorted" update

Hi guys.

Alrighties. I've worked out the details for the gameplay fix.

One of the slight problems with H5 is, because it's all mapped out (and is jolly complex), I can't just add random bits and bobs easily.  So, for example, I can't just drop another character in to fill gameplay etc.

However, that said, I've worked out how to expand the free roam in Four with content from Five and also expand the content in Five to make up for the content lost as I move it around with...

It's the "Post play test" update...

So the good news is....Chapter Four is good. Very in places. 

But.... it's also, in some circumstances, wonky in the middle and could land with a wet thump. The problem hinges around the two missions and the free roam.

If a player does a mission and the free roam then it seems nicely balanced. The problem stems from if a player decides to do neither or both missions. If they do both (and it is possible to have both missions available) then it breaks...

It's the "It's the 20th!" update...

Hello!

The big news for today is that a playable build has gone to the primary tester. This build excludes the big three main modules (VR, CoC and Chris domme) largely as I'm still tweaking all three of them a bit but the main game is now out for gameplay tests. (Annie's pool game, although big, is just a one off and so I don't count it as main module despite it's size)

For those of you who are unfamiliar with my testing process it goes in two stages. The primary...

The file size is on the large size as nothing has been compressed yet - I always leave that until the very end.

It's the "Strappy top" update...

Hi, hi!

First off apologies for being a bit absent on a progress update last week. It wasn't the plan as I'll explain in a bit.

So in my last post I said how I wanted to start bringing the game together. Adding the renders made to the script etc, and by the Thursday of that week I'd wrapped up six modules which was pretty good going for just four days I thought. Since I also now had a second PC I cast my eye over some of the later modules I wasn't so happy with, and in particular ...

It's the "Two PCs!" update...

Let us take a moment to mourn the end of my oft used phrase "I only have one PC. " It served us well throughout it's life. We saw it grow; play in the fields; watched as it developed into a fully formed phrase and urged it on as it strived to turn into a meme - and yet now it's time is over.

For on Wednesday I get another a black box! Oh yeppity, indeedy-do! Thanks, guys. I've needed a second really since the start and it's down to you I now have one. :)

I had lots of opt...

It's the "Something, something, dark side" update...

Hi Hi :)

Nothing earth shattering to waffle on about this time but I'm determined to avoid my old bad habits of plunging into making the  game and running silent once things get heavy, only emerging to go "Ta-da! Here it is!".

Scripty things!

Script is more or less there now. I say more or less as I'm always tweaking it all the way up to the day before release at times but certainly the bulk of it is down which is probs as best as I can get at ...

It's the "Renders, renders, everywhere!" update...

Hi guys :)

Firstly, a warm welcome to my new Patrons. Thank you for your support and I do hope you're enjoying your time in my little world.

Progress

Progress wise I've animation frames flying off the PC at the moment with another 1,000 framer finished overnight and despatched to the testers for quality checks and views. Some of my earlier animation work I am having to tweak a bit though I'm finding.

Nothing horrendous just removing some "uncanny" vall...

Busy writing but....

While the machine isn't hard rendering at the moment I put it to work doing an image for this. 

Let me know, if I get more free render time, if you'd like me to make more from the report.

*poofs again into script world*

It's the "Um. I knew I said I was going to stay silent for a bit, but...." post

Er....

I honestly don't know what to say at the moment. Utterly unexpected for a tiny dev like me.

It goes without saying that I thank all the staff at LewdPixels for voting for me but I also want to take a moment to thank you. My players and Patreons. You are the people I make this ga...

It's the "Um...I won another thing" post...

I'm a little lost of words but I've recently found out that Sarah won an award for best NPC in 2020.

Full article is here.

It's the "Say what, now?" update...

Hello, and a happy New Year to you all. A lot of news to cover this morning so I'll do my best to not prattle on in my usual manner.

I won a thing!

Astoundingly, I won an award from Lewd Pixels as developer of the year. Which was a hell of a way to wrap the year up. This came on top of another voted for award from the guys at F95zone which was also a...

Happy New Year!

My best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous new year for all my patreons and players.

Proper update post tomorrow. :)

Concept art for McVay and Kates

It's looking like a two horse race at this point so I thought I'd play around with how the scenes would look like for the two leaders.

Thought something more Jav AVN would fit the theme for McVay :)

It's the "Three days left" poll...

Close. Damned close....

With 5 votes still to be cast it still could be anyones.

It's the "Logo pondering" post...

I know, I know. I said I was taking some time off. And I will.

But I was thinking about a logo of some sorts. Something simple but that would allow a bit of product recognition.

You can see a mock up above in the right hand corner. Thoughts?

Edit: Alrighties guys, taking the rest of the year away from the interwebs. I'll keep nursing the animations along but that's it. I promise I will take a break :)
