Season 2 - Chapter 1 - Dev Log #9

Added 2024-06-27 04:59:59 +0000 UTC

Hello,

The log is a few hours late. I apologize!

Apparently, when I say, "Sure, I'll come by the Biergarten, but I gotta go earlier to do some work." it doesn't always work out.

Productivity is still going strong.

What worries me, though, is that when I look at the number of renders I've finished compared to the number of scenes that are done...

I fear the update might end up with 5000-8000 still renders. Yesterday, I checked, and this update has at least one scene for every relevant girl. (Yes, including Maja.)

I'd say 5000 renders is a safe bet. That would be double Chapter 5's render count.

I think it will be a great opening to the new season.

There's not much else to say; at least, I can't say much without spoiling a few new elements I will add to the game. I think they will greatly enhance the game's cinematic and high-quality feel.

After the update, I will do a poll to see if you guys liked them.

I'm kinda bummed by the fact that I can't really show anything of the Cheeto and Mila intro scenes... Especially Mila's scene has two big reasons why I can't/don't want to show them.

These are the most innocent renders I could find.

I'll show some Cheeto intro renders in the next Dev Log. I haven't finished the Cheeto scene yet, so my selection is limited.

Mila is also a prime candidate for my Blender experiments. After this update, I'll port that Bibi over to create some test animations & renders with her.

At the moment, I'm still using Sasha for most of my tests, but I can't show her nude yet, so I've got to switch my test models. (I'm currently prepping Miru.)

One word describes S2-CH1: Progress

That's what it feels like.

I'll see you in two weeks!
