Chapter 3 - DevLog 3

Hellooooooo

I've been sick for the last few days, so my productivity has decreased significantly, but today I'm feeling pretty good. The render queue has been running for the last few days, but it's quite a horror. The images that started rendering today need about 50–60 minutes to complete, so it's pretty slow, but the result is great, and I'm quite satisfied.

If I count the images that have already been rendered and those that are still being rendered, it's around 450 images + 7/8 animations (not lewd scenes). It's only been 26 days since the release of Ch2, and I'm on a pretty high number. I wonder where it will end.

I was still thinking about some changes for Ch1 & Ch2. We're still more or less at the beginning, so it's not that complicated. I'm not very happy with the apartment where Olivia and MC live. Compositionally, it's very weak, but it was also probably the only model that more or less suited me when I started creating BT. And yet, as you will see in the images below the post, the visuals have changed a bit. I try to add really different lights and build surrounding objects so that the screen really looks like everything is located in some kind of world where things work and live, and unfortunately, this doesn't really match the fashion of their house. I'm quite limited there, despite the fact that I tried to adapt it to my own requirements in the past, but no, something is still missing. However, if I were to change it, I would have to change it in Ch1 & Ch2 as well. Otherwise, it would look like complete nonsense.

At the same time, in the future, we will still have to go back to Ch1 & Ch2 since there are missing animations and there are still old character models that look quite different in Ch2 and Ch3 and are in HD quality. So I'm thinking about what I could do. I can't decide at the moment. I'm sure that some "rework" for Ch1 & Ch2 is ahead of us in the future, but I don't know when. Many things are missing there. Many of them cannot be done now, and at the same time, I don't want it to slow me down significantly. I will think about it

Another thing I want to mention is the PC upgrade. A few days ago, I found out that the upgrade is not very advantageous for me, as it would cost approximately €3,200, and the price for a new PC is €3,400. At the same time, I realized that it would probably be better this way because I could use my PC, which I'm using now, to create things and a new PC for rendering. This would help me greatly and speed up the whole development process. Anyway, I think the harder I work, the closer we'll get to the goal. That's all for now
