Double Update!
Added 2023-06-10 05:22:26 +0000 UTCI apologize for not giving you guys an update last Friday. Normally I try to provide 4 images with each weekly update, so to get back up to speed, this one has EIGHT images.
I'm really happy with where the story and scripting are going! This workflow of doing scripting, image rendering and coding all at once works really well for me, and I think provides the most creative results. I am leaving most sound stuff for the end, and I'll likely do the same for all but the easiest animations. I'm not keeping up with 6 renders per day, but that's not so bad since when I set that as a goal I wasn't counting on scripting and coding being a part of that work, thinking most of that would happen at the end.
Regarding keeping a consistent flow of renders per day, there's also just no getting around the reality that some renders take 10x the amount of work and time that others do. But still they need to be done, so nothing to do but get past it and strive for more prolific days to follow. Also I'll sometimes get slowed down by having to create a prop from scratch, or setting up a new, complex environment.
There is an exchange that I just got past involving that very tall (6'3"! or about 191cm!), Asian scientist/doctor you see in I think three of the images and the MC that I think I'm going to have to change. She got a little rough with him in a couple images. At the time I liked it, but in hindsight I think it hurts the story. So I'll replace them with one or two new renders. Will be quick to do. her name is Dr. Lili Zhang btw - a spur-of-the-moment addition. I don't plan on doing too much with her, but her presence here serves a couple useful purposes for plot development and character building.
Anyway, feel free to quiz me or make some comments here or there. Fan participation has cooled down quite a bit since a couple weeks or so after general release, and I'm feeling isolated from things again. I don't like that too much - makes me wonder whether anyone other than me cares about this thing.
Anyway: CHEERS!
Comments
This scene I'm working on is one I consider very pivotal. It reveals much about Olivia that we don't know yet, and represents her "making a case" to him to convince him he needs to be with her. She's in a way "putting her best foot forward" but also making sure there are no misunderstandings. She doesn't want to sugar-coat what life with her would be like, so she's showing him examples of both the worst and the best, while also making it clear that he has to QUALIFY and PERFORM to deserve this "spot".

2023-06-10 18:05:34 +0000 UTCYeah it's kind of unexpected - I hadn't planned on her being in this scene, and appearing so early, but it made sense to me, and she ends up doing something very interesting and domme-y in this scene! She'd never been much beyond an NPC-type needed for the story to make sense, but I'm starting to "click" with her as a character now.

2023-06-10 17:16:05 +0000 UTCI was wondering when were we gonna see that lady from the introduction. Renders as usual look great, grateful for the update.
