Summer's Gone - Season 2 - Chapter 1 - Dev Log #26

Added 2025-02-26 12:53:42 +0000 UTC

Hello,

Newly created and rendered scenes in the past 12 days:

461 images + 6 animations.

190 of them were for SG.

Current render count:

SG: 4790 -> 4980 (+190)

It's fewer renders than before, but that's simply because I'm working on a scene with 45 people in it. Immersion is important, so I do have to pose all visible characters every few renders.

I can render around 30 of these giant scenes a night.

I'm about to finish the rendering process for a different project. Afterward, I'll focus entirely on SG - S2 Chapter 1.

I've built a decently sized SFX and ambient sound/drone library. In my "free time," I'm also working on a simple ambient song.

My designer and I have come up with a fantastic idea for some in-game collectibles.

However, I already have so much to do that they must wait for Chapter 2.

The queue didn't run for two days because I had scenes with 34 visible people, which were too big for the A6000s.

It was the fault of a G9 character that, for some reason, used up 11GB alone. I had to re-open all of them and adjust the settings, but the queue is working again.

I took the 23rd partially off because we had elections in Germany.

Around 10 more days until SG gets 100% render priority.

Preview:

I thought I would just use a random number, and whatever it lands on, I'll show for a preview. 4K attached.

T - Alarm.

I was randomly listening to some older songs the other day, and Mazzy Star's - Fade into You came on, and it gave me the idea for a Treat set down the line.

It is a retro themed set, and because it would heavily rely on editing, I did a little test with Bellchen.
