Status update Episode 9
Added 2022-04-15 15:04:58 +0000 UTC
This week I wrote more dialogue, worked on plenty of animations, performed computer maintenance, and more.
I've had some annoying PC malfunctions lately. Two of my rigs broke, and I had to replace them with new workstations, and so I have.
Everything is up and running as usual, but it did take some time to synchronize everything and start fresh with the new PCs.
The PCs that broke were a bit over 3 and 5 years old, and the way I've been using them, it's about time they threw in the towel. Thanks for your service and the tens of thousands of renders you made!
Hopefully, these new PCs will last at least three years without problems.
Speaking of time, next Tuesday, it's been four years since my Patreon page saw the light of day. I have a special Acting Lessons post and some art prepared for all patrons to see to celebrate the occasion.
I started and finished the Special Render series for Josy that you voted for in the poll a few weeks ago.
Since I haven't worked on Josy like this since Episode 1, I've enjoyed making it a lot, and I pulled all stops for her series.
I don't want to hype the render set too much, but I would probably place the set itself in my top 3 sets of all time so far. I'm very happy about the quality.
Her set will have 20 special renders in episode 9, and its theme will be clubbing.
I'll post a preview of it this weekend, and I made an effort to make the special renders with 4k quality for Patreon.
Poll news
Last week's poll was very close. The different tiered polls had three different girls in the first place: Nicole, Riona, and Lily.
After counting the votes from all tiers, the winning combination was:
- Riona
- Clothing: Lingerie + Nude
- 2D animation: Vaginal sex
I'll order a 2D wallpaper of Riona with Lingerie + Nude combinations and a 2D animation with vaginal sex for episode 9.
Thanks for voting!
Have a nice weekend

Not everyone is a collector. But I’ve played through the game several times to collect everything. But I still can’t get that last pic of Rio. I swear I would tear down that basketball hoop and light it on fire, if it were real.

2022-04-18 15:42:52 +0000 UTCAlso, working in the IT industry isn't just about technical knowledge, it's also about efficiency and business continuity. We don't always solve every little hardware malfunction if it takes longer than our SLOs (Service Level Objectives). Replacing an entire PC is common practice, and after 3 years, it also meets asset lifecycle standards.

2022-04-18 14:04:03 +0000 UTCAlso, there's still a global microtransistor shortage affecting individual parts. These days, especially when it comes to the GPU, it's cheaper to just buy a prebuilt desktop, and the specs aren't horrible.

2022-04-18 13:58:18 +0000 UTCIf the winners were Camila, Riona and Lily it would have been perfect, but at least I can be 2/3 happy about the results xD

2022-04-18 12:58:36 +0000 UTCGotcha - wasn't sure how difficult it would be to link up with the Season 1+2 file if it's still installed and pull the data from there. Makes sense though.

2022-04-18 00:21:06 +0000 UTCHonestly, I don't get connected to the 2D art. OK, I understand that it makes sense for Jacobs drawings. But what else? For me it feels a bit "out of the game". Also for the phone background, a "normal" picture would make more sense. Maybe a photograph that MC could have taken of the girls. And the purpose of the 2D animation I don't understand at all. Maybe I am the only one thinking like that... but that's just my two cents.

2022-04-17 18:28:49 +0000 UTCI think DPC stated somewhere that it will not be included due to filesize or so...

2022-04-17 18:24:15 +0000 UTCDPC used to work in the IT industry. He knows what he is doing.

2022-04-17 14:01:05 +0000 UTCIF you want the PCs to last longer and you are running them hard make sure you give them a good cleaning and that you change the thermal paste at least annually.

2022-04-17 13:26:24 +0000 UTCCant wait for those Josy special renders, something special about her being the first girl and all for the game.

2022-04-17 11:01:39 +0000 UTCHaha yeah, that’s pretty relatable 😍
OfficerBacon
2022-04-17 03:52:32 +0000 UTCSo, it sounds like the PCs had meltdowns while doing the Josy renders. Understandable.
Teufelhunde DJI
2022-04-17 00:59:19 +0000 UTCYeah! Riona, for the win!!
Blaze2095
2022-04-16 12:16:43 +0000 UTCJust curious when you say the PCs died, was it primarily the GPU? I'm wondering if it necessitated a full PC rebuild (as opposed to swapping out failed/failing hardware, for example)
tezster
2022-04-16 03:54:29 +0000 UTChopefully with some new pc's, thatll speed up render times and the more technical stuff

2022-04-16 01:16:22 +0000 UTCwait i thought nicole won on the poll?? or was there higher tier polls too?

2022-04-16 00:55:09 +0000 UTCMore Rio in any form is always good.
Blacklabyrinth
2022-04-16 00:10:53 +0000 UTCSo excited for episode 9. Is there any chance at Quinn becoming an actual option?

2022-04-15 21:18:11 +0000 UTCnoooooo Lily needed a Special Render set =[
Tyler Robbins
2022-04-15 19:35:45 +0000 UTCApologies if this lives in the "asked and answered" category, but are there any plans to have the rewards and scenes from Seasons 1+2 accessible from the new season 3 file, or is that more trouble than it's worth?

2022-04-15 18:18:54 +0000 UTCRIONA!!! <3 <3 <3 sorry she is my alltime favorite in the entire game :) so great looking forward to see it

2022-04-15 17:55:01 +0000 UTCYou should totally make an acting lessons reference or a nod to it in the next episode.

2022-04-15 17:35:07 +0000 UTCo7 your contributions will never be forgotten PCs! Sadness Lily didn't win, here's hoping for more of the sultry seductress!!!

2022-04-15 15:59:37 +0000 UTCSeeing more of Josy always makes me Happy :)

2022-04-15 15:32:37 +0000 UTCI love acting lessons, it was the 1st vn I ever played. Grats on the 4 years.

2022-04-15 15:27:59 +0000 UTCR.I.P. PCs, you have done a great service and you shall always be remembered. Who here thinks if it was given to Derek, he would smash it for the simple fact that he can?

2022-04-15 15:26:58 +0000 UTCRIP to the PCs Great news, I cant wait to see those Josie renders Happy weekend Doc, thanks for the work!!

2022-04-15 15:19:40 +0000 UTCHype..excited for Josy set its been awhile and that was the combo I voted for too on the polls so this was a great update for me lol

2022-04-15 15:19:19 +0000 UTCRIP to PCs that have rendered Bella! Much respect and appreciation 🙏🏻😌:Give_Bella:
Sadie Adler
2022-04-15 15:13:27 +0000 UTCThe quality of renders you do would be taxing for any system older than a year! Too bad any Acting Lessons renders wasn't enough to give it a break😄. Thinking out loud.....the Acting Lessons cast with the rendering engine you're using today would be mind blowing! Keep up the great work Doc! More than proud to support you and your work.
Chris Jacks
2022-04-15 15:11:57 +0000 UTCSo looking forward to Josy's renders series, it was sorely overdue!
