Chapter 5 - Dev Log #4

Added 2023-05-17 17:10:33 +0000 UTC

Yo,

So, how's it looking...

I'm around 935 renders in. I didn't make the four-digits, but that's alright as other aspects of the game are now in active development too. (The phone.)

Regarding the Super big boi Workstation.

Quote from WiAB's last Log:

"I came really close to the 48GB with a WiAB scene. But to be fair, I did go into that scene guns blazing with no regard for VRAM casualties.
Still, without the A6000 I couldn't even produce the current scenes. (But I need more of them to increase speed.)
So, regarding the Super big boi Workstation.

I won't get it.
Not because of my finances or anything support related... We didn't even get to that point.
But because of German bureaucracy and the fact that I moved across the country and still wasn't able to declare my new place at the gov.
(I got an appointment 7 months from when I moved to my current place.

So they couldn't even ask the bank without me having the proper address on my ID.)
I will contact them again in August & hope I will then get the green light."

So yeah, it'll take a while until I get the chance to upgrade again.

As mentioned above, the work on the phone has begun. Good boi Messe has created a lot of fantastic-looking UIs for me.

The coding part is definitely the hardest, as I'm still doing it myself. But I'm getting there.

Here's the current main menu.

Progress is pretty fast, even though the phone takes quite a few hours away from setting up scenes atm.

Previews - 4K attached

(If you wanna see this Nia image without the shorts. Here's the Treat.)

An angry beanpole.

A not-so-angry beanpole.

Some occassional Bellchen

Progress is faster than I anticipated. I might add the last part of the Rework to the Beta version because there's one change that is addressed in Chapter 5 and might confuse the player who made a certain choice.

Oh, and I finally got a bed.

I've been sleeping on the ground for the past 4 months since delivery times were beyond reasonable.

But finally, I can stop cosplaying a person with scoliosis.

I'll see you in two weeks... I'm really looking forward to the next scene I'll start rendering in 2-3 days.

Maybe I'll drop a preview of said scene in the next log.
