[Progress Report]: 11th of October

Added 2020-10-11 23:29:44 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone,

Kind of a weird progress report this week. On the one hand, not much story material was worked on, on the other hand six animations were completed this week. That's already more than my biggest animation update in the past! I'm really liking the new lighting after my rendering software updated, the only problem is that it boosted the animation render times from eights hours to anywhere between twelve and fourteen. I usually set animations to render while I'm asleep, but now they're still not done when I wake up! Regardless, I do think you guys will like them, and it doesn't slow down my planned release for the next version of the game.

My goal for Version 0.60 of the game is still 12 animations. With one planned H-event for Chrys (after winning the vote) and the rest planned for Riley since she's now in the Academy. This means that when you click on Riley after she moves back in, you'll be able to trigger repeatable H-events similar to the rest of the girls. I say "similar" because I think these are much higher quality.

The main goal for the next week is to finish off the the remaining animations. I also want to put more work into the main story in preparation for some major events coming up down the line.

I also want to thank all of you for being so supportive while I try this stuff out. I'm experimenting with all sorts of tricks to try and make the animation process more streamlined. Just a few months ago, I was proud to release 4 new animations in new Version, and now we're going up to three times that! I'm still worried that this release may be regarded as too short. While an animation may take an entire day to pose, edit, and render, really you guys only experience it for three to six seconds. I really want to give you guys the best quality product I can, and so I worry about small updates. Is this small? I don't know anymore.

Anyway, I'm back to animating! I should have more story progress to share with you next week.
