End of Month Update (April 2022)

It's that time again! As we approach the end of the month, I want to give everyone an update on where things are with BBN and what's going to be happening next month. And, as I always do, this is my reminder that Patreon will be billing again on the 1st!

What's happened this month?

I'm honestly not quite sure where to start. It has been a very productive month. 

After 0.8 went into Early Release, I had intended to take a few days off to rest and recoup. That never quite pans out -- too many creative juices are flowing and I keep getting an endorphin hit from the feedback. So, I started work on an image gallery for BBN. This has been implemented with select images currently added through Chapter 7. 

Following that came the writing for the next update. I have to keep what I write here on Patreon relatively "respectable" for the censor bots, but I can confidently say this is going to be a very hot update that scratches a lot of itches:  options for Alex to take a Dom/top role; an explicit scene with a fully shifted werewolf; trash talk; a bench... and yes, even a chaste route! 😘

And then I was able to get started on renders, and Patrons have already begun seeing some of the Sneak Peek images of what's coming.

What's happening next month?

May is going to be focused on renders. I can't promise the next update will be ready in May because of the nature of these scenes. There is a lot of fine detail required in posing characters for explicit scenes. 

Think of it like this:  Where a hand touches a shoulder, I'm not just posing a hand. I'm posing every carpal, every knuckle, every digit -- each piece of the skeleton has to be individually adjusted. And, I have to inspect the pose from multiple angles to ensure what I'm seeing in 2D on my monitor matches what will be rendered in 3D (yes, the images are obviously 2D, but lighting and shadows are modeled in 3D).

But, that's going to be the big push for May. One thing I may experiment a bit with is some new Photoshop brushes for those final moments in an explicit scene. I'm generally happy with the 3d models for that particular fluid, but Photoshop may give me some flexibility as well as realism I haven't been able to achieve with the 3d assets.

And finally...

I want to give a huge thank you to everyone. Your support and enthusiasm means the world to me. I've been at this more than a year now and, while it's sometimes hard to stay focused with everything going on in the world, burnout has never been a concern. And you are the reason for that. Knowing BBN has fans like you keeps me energized and excited about continuing to work on this project and story.

I love you all.

Cheers!

BBN
