На этой неделе я работал над несколькими разными сценами, в том числе групповыми и отраслевыми сценами для всех основных ветвей. Чтобы назвать несколько, я работал над сценами с Камилой, Джози, Джилл, Майей, Сейдж, Изабеллой и Куинн.

Я немного поэкспериментировал с новой техникой анимации, завершил более короткую непристойную сцену и начал планировать/писать контент Rooster.

Поскольку какое-то время я уделял большое внимание статическим рендерингам, сейчас в очереди рендеринга находится около 240 рендеров.

Через день или два я поставлю рендер #2500, и в целом я очень доволен развитием.

Очередь анимации все еще большая. ПК начали рендерить некоторые анимации втроем. Как правило, время, необходимое для создания анимации, увеличивается с каждым добавленным персонажем. И я заметил небольшое увеличение времени рендеринга этих анимаций.

На следующей неделе я, как обычно, включу статический рендеринг и, возможно, также немного напишу.

Я думаю о скором тестировании частей эпизода. Поскольку я уже довольно давно занимаюсь продюсированием артов, я не играл в этот эпизод где-то 1,5 месяца.

Обычно я немного тестирую то здесь, то там во время разработки, чтобы немного отшлифовать и прочувствовать эпизод.

Хороших выходных

Status Update Episode 9

I've been working on static renders and free roam events all week; I also did some environment design for a scene.

I'm currently working on a scene with 8+ characters that's taking quite a bit of time to pose. But the renders are coming out looking good,leaving me feeling it was worth the effort.

What I like about this episode, in general, are the renders that have many characters in them. They bring a lot of life to the scenes, and despite the scenes being tricky to create and render, I'm having a blast making them.

One PC renders static renders whenever I'm not using it for work; the PC slaves are all rendering animations.

The animation queue is still fairly big 30-40 animations waiting to render.

I think I have 80-150 animations left to pose. Those animations are split over 4-5 lewd scenes (including another threesome) and some SFW animations.

I realize that 80-150 is a rather big interval for a ballpark number, but it's the best I can estimate now.

Including what's in the render queue, the current render count is just over 2200.

I will continue working on static renders in the upcoming week.

Have a nice weekend

Status update Episode 9

I've been working on a threesome scene the entire week. I have reached a point where I can move on to something else, but I might have to revisit the scene after playtesting it to make sure it's what I want.

So, the week mostly consisted of posing animations but also some static renders.

I will return to working on free roam events, and static renders the next week. The animation queue is decent-sized again, which bought me time to work on other art.

We're over 2000 produced renders, thus likely over the hump with the static renders for the episode.

45 animations are in the render queue waiting to render, and 150 animations are fully produced. This means we're closing in on 200 total animations for episode 9, and we're also over the hump in this area.

Have a nice weekend

Episode 9 - Preview #9

Status update Episode 9

This week I continued and finished all artwork for the lewd scene I mentioned last week.
After that, I decided to continue working on lewd scenes, as I have a number of them left.

I started work on what I believe will be one of the most demanding lewd scenes of the episode regarding manual work.
I started with designing the environment for it - it was one of the remaining environments I didn't prepare for the episode until now - and I have just started animating the scene and posing static renders for it.

It will feel good to have this lewd scene completed eventually, and I estimate that it will take me ~1-2 weeks to finish posing its artwork.
After it is done, I will continue making art for one of the free roam events of the episode.

I'll try to find a preview to post soon. Even with 1939 static renders (Close to that 2000 limit that always feel so good to pass), finding something that doesn't spoil is tricky.

Have a nice weekend

Status update Episode 9

This will be a short and sweet update.

Since last Friday, I have posed ~300 renders and 19 animations.

130 animations are fully produced, and I have 22 animations in the render queue; the total when the current work is finished is thus 152 animations.

I have just started work on a branching solo lewd scene, and I will spend next week animating it and making any renders needed for it. I expect to finish all animations from that scene and continue working on static renders before next Friday.

**Poll news**
In this week's 2D art poll, the results of the tiered polls were split.

After tallying the votes, the winning combination was

* Girl: Lily
* Position: Her on top
* Environment: Beach

I'll order a 2D wallpaper and a 2D animation and include them in episode 9.
Have a nice weekend

Status update Episode 9

This week I worked on static renders, a bit of coding/writing, and environment renders for one of the bigger free roam events of the episode.

Some scenes have been pretty complex to create due to the number of characters and details in them. I've completed a long scene with ~160 renders in it and some shorter scenes.

Somewhere over 1500 renders are fully produced. A rough estimate is that it puts image art at 35-45% completion.

Regarding animations, I've almost finished work on 8 lewd scenes, with more to come. I need to work on another lewd scene soon to build up the animation render queue.

It's hard to estimate how many animations are left to pose, but a gut feeling tells me we're somewhere along 40-60% completion with animations.

All writing/coding/phone content should be somewhere >80% complete.

Music/sound effects are ~20-30% complete.

I wish I could give a better estimate than this, but it's impossible, and guesses only make for disappointment. I don't want to limit my freedom during development by promising things too early. It would cause bad stress for me, and the best episodes are made when I'm enjoying what I do.

All-in-all, steady progress is being made.

This weekend, a new 2D poll will be live, with some side girls candidates for wallpaper and animation. Sign up as a +$10 patron to participate.
