Chapter 2 - Dev Log #1

Hello,

So... Development for Chapter 2 has started. 

Chapter 2 is twice as big as Chapter 1 and will follow my normal update size. 

What can I say about Chapter 2...

Well, here we are... Leaving the old WiAB completely behind us. 

The entire Chapter is completely different from the old one and we're going to meet some characters from the old WiAB we didn't get to see in Chapter 1. 

Chapter 2 is going to...

WiAB Chapter 1

Gallery preview

Hello,

So, as mentioned in the game and in an earlier Dev Log, a Gallery will be added to the game.

I might've mentioned here and on Discord that I would mostly do "copy and paste" stuff from SG to WiAB to save time, etc. 

Yeah... about that... 

I created an entirely new gallery with a unique touch to it. 

Cause let's be honest... Do it right or don't do it at all. 

Let's go through it step by step.
Yo...

WiAB - Chapter 1 Beta

Hello,


EDIT: Now available for Lovely Latinas + Android link.


Well, here we are.

Chapter 1 and an entirely new beginning for WiAB. You can completely forget about the old Chapters. The story flow, personalities etc. have completely changed

You can find the download links right below. While you download, you may read the rest of the post. 

Warning! It's a long-ass post and if you don't care about how things went down, yo...

Chapter 1 - Release date.

Hello,


Chapter 1 is going to release in two days on the 21st. 

The game is done and tomorrow will be used to test and try some little thingies. 

As mentioned on Discord. I got infected with Shingles a week ago and it's hitting me pretty hard. 

Doc said it was caused by stress. I really need to work on my Work/Life balance.

After some pain meds, the electric nerve pain gets manageable and I have a 3-5h window in which I can work wit...

Chapter 1 - Bibi log

Hello,

So, the intro cinematic is done and comes in at around 2:13min

I thought only postwork was left but I've gotta redo one scene. 

If you guys remember, I had some data loss not that long ago and it mostly affected Adobe saves and software. 

But while I was doing postwork yesterday, I saw that the renders of a scene were missing. 

The scene was rendered quite a long time ago and back then I didn't have the 3090 wit...

Chapter 1 - Dev Log #5

Hello,

So, first of all, sorry for not doing a Dev Log 2 weeks ago but as I mentioned in the SG Log, I fucked up doing the calendar.

I did do an SG log a few days later but I wasn't done with what I wanted to show in WiAB but I did decide otherwise now.

I wanted to showcase some animations, in which I tried some new things, but the release is close and you'll see my experiments for yourself.

Alright, quite a few things have happened. 

1. New W...

Chapter 1 - September Bibi log #4

Hello,


So, from now on I'll change the cycle of dev logs to Bi-weekly. (Every two weeks.) because at the moment I'm pretty much doing a lot of repeating work.

Creating animations, GUI elements, postwork, etc.  

I'd be just repeating myself if I kept it weekly.


So yeah, progress is being made daily and I can see the end of the tunnel.

4k res attached at the bottom.

I'll keep you guys up...

Chapter 1 - September Bibi log #3

Hello,


So... Technically, I have reached the end of the update.

There are three more things to do.

1st: I've skipped some scenes in the earlier parts and need to fill them now.

2nd: I still have to do some animations for the Miru lewd scene and the cinematic. 

3rd: I have to come up with some new GUI (Main menu, gallery, etc.)  But most of it will be done with the final version after the initial Beta release. 

In compa...

Chapter 1 - September Bibi log #2

Hello,

So, as teased in the last log... This bibi log is all about Helen.

You guys have probably seen the reworked Helen already in an older post.
Helen specifically didn't just get a visual rework but also a personality one.  (Actually, everyone got that.)

In the old WiAB, Helen was... hollow, and the only thing that did set her apart from being literally nothing was her being mute.  

I personally also really didn't like old Helen's visual appearan...

Chapter 1 - September Bibi log #1

Hello,

As promised I'll be doing weekly updates on WiAB. 

At the moment, I'm pretty consistent with hitting my daily 20 WiAB render and 15 SG render goal. I often manage to finish it in the first half of the day if the focus is there. 

Let me show you a small amount of stuff I rendered. 

As before, Old and new WiAB. 

The introduction of Dylan.

August Wallpapers - Mila

Hello,

At first, it was planned to do Maja wallpapers for July, but I prioritized the release of SG Chapter 3.5 and skipped the last month.   

I'll make this an official rule, during a release month I'll most likely not do wallpapers.

From now on I'll also do only one set of wallpapers a month. (Either SG or WiAB) The thing is that I have to feel the character in order to come up with a decent idea.

I don't want to shit out wallpapers just for the sake of it....

Dev log August

Hello,


First of all, I'm sorry for the radio silence but I thought it would be better to just work instead of repeating myself and shower myself with input that doesn't help me get any further.

I also want to apologize for the waiting time and let me be entirely honest here, after trying to make the game in Blender and having to put that on ice I did lose most of my momentum.

I take full responsibility for that.

Anyways, enough of that and let's get to some...

Wallpapers June

Hello,

Sorry- one day too late but I was binge rendering SG update-related stuff.   

In June, I also started doing them for WiAB, too.   
This time the SG ones will be available for the 5$ tier, too. But next time only for the 10$ tier, who also gets the next SG version. (Vice versa on the other Patreon.)


For SG we have Nadia:

Info about the new rewards + May Wallpaper - Sasha

Hello,

This month I did add new benefits to some of the higher tier rewards in order to reward you guys with a little more.

Here are the changes I made:

Lovely Latina(10$):
- Access to Summer's Gone updates (Not the Beta).
- Monthly HQ wallpaper.

Petite Asian (20$):
- Access to the Blender short stories.
- Access to polls.

Update on the Blender short stories.

Hello,

As I am sure some of you noticed I recently added a Blender comic to some of the tier rewards.

I am doing them to learn Blender on the side while also providing my supporters with additional content. More details in a future post.


In the past day, I managed to improve Bella's model to a minimally acceptable level to start the comics/short stories.
I did document the process to make the workflow for the other characters much easier in the future.

Dev log - Updated Dana and Katie

Hello,

Welcome to the probably last mini dev log before the update of the reworked Chapter 1.

Today, I am not going to show some actual previews, but the rework of two main characters.

Dana and Katie. Two of the most popular love interests in the game. I didn't plan on previewing them at first- but I think it's good to be transparent with the changes.

It was important to me to make the girls future proof. That means a high quality skin (for Dana) and some in-depth adju...

Dev Log February #2

Hello,

So, in the last post, I said I would be doing another Dev log till the end of the last month.

There was just one problem... All the previews I had looked way too similar because the first 70% of the update is about Miru's and MC's life. So I decided to postpone the dev log and keep working until we reach the next scene so that I can give visually different previews.

With the new Chapter 1, you will not get dropped into the call from Leia immediately like in the old WI...

Devlog January #1

Hello,


Summer's Gone Chapter 3 is finally released (In a few days, the full version is out and then I will upload it here, too.  and with this, the last full chapter release is done. 

From now on, I will only do half-chapters and they will still be big enough. 

Besides that, both games now have a dedicated PC. WiAB doesn't need to wait for SG anymore. 

I also optimized my work/life schedule to a more professional standard now.

Update on the GPU situation.

Ladies and Gentleman,

We got him. 

I managed to find one in stock a week ago and today, it finally arrived.

I didn't want to jinx it- but well, it's here.

I tested it and till now it works great.


Yesterday, I also rendered an image so that I am able to compare the 3090 to my 2080Ti.

The render was rendered in 4k with 1200 samples ...

Dev log November #3

Hello,

1. Blender - Daz

2. Color errors

3. Previews + comparisons

1. Blender - Daz

As everyone here should know, I am learning Blender.
And the best way to get better in something is to do it a lot.

I never openly said it and I wanted it to be a surprise but I planned on doing the WiAB rework in Blender.
That's also the reason why it took such a long time to even show some stuff to you guys.

Dev log October #2

1. GPU status and the A6000 Quadro
2. Particle hair


1. GPU status and the A6000 Quadro

It's still impossible to acquire a 3090 at the moment.

Nvidia stopped selling their cards completely on their own website and many Third-Party shops keep unlisting the 3000 series.  

The PC that is currently working on WiAB isn't able to render but I cannot wait that much longer.

Dev log October #1

Hello,

Technically, this is the exact same post I posted on the SG Patreon except for some details + picture.

There was a problem with one of my GPUs.

It's officially a vegetable now.

I don't exactly know what happened because I was at the other PC at that point (Both PC's are on the same monitor) and I was rendering on PC#1 while working on PC #2.

It did happen before that the fans of my 1080Ti did suddenly stop and re-start after 4-8 seconds. (The GPU pro...
