Aims for September 2023 and August in Review!

Hello, hi-hi and howdy, rowdies. It’s that time again, again! Time to wrap up another month and spin in to the next one, and so as we do it around here we’re tallying the hits and misses on our goals to keep out accounting public and trackable.

Now… Those who’ve been following along will know but now it’s not much to call a hyper happy month, once again, but hey… Only doing this when it suits us because it all looks good and we like pats on the back… Well, that’s not helpful or the point, so best we get on with taking our lumps eh? And no, we can’t just copy and paste last months go at it either, because the circumstances change and there’s momentum in our favour worth a smile about too. So let’s dive on in, and get to it!

Our August Goals:

- Agents of Heels v0.26 to the Daring fans. Failed – Once again the thrust of our efforts, and once again a “womp-womp” moment. We’re sorry to say that despite our best efforts, we could get the game back up off the ground and out to peoples’ laps. We’re adding August to the list of Daring fans we’re retroactively sending releases when the time comes, now including March, April, May, June and July. Yes, we are keeping count, so never fear. It’s all down to the failing computer equipment (Fuller story here, see bottom half), but we’ve also got our hands on some of the replacement parts already, so we’re at least on the up swing with not only solving our biggest bottleneck ever but improving our invested hardware. Still though, that’s a story still in play, what matters today is this isn’t a completion, it’s a fail, so no check mark for us.

- Noemi’s v0.21 Handover and Public Teaser to Tickle the Fandom. Failed – And once again like each time we’ve done this same list, we can’t hit on this one and start chewing on even more tasty dishes all at once, right? Right. There’s not much to say on this then other than we missed it too, but at least we can say this. August brought a lot more writing to the table for future versions to come, and a milestone therein. The guts of a whole new version and a lot of sexy (minus the y) put to paper, near ready to go once the game reaches. So bottom line is Noemi’s progressing, but we didn’t hit this exact goal again and so no tick either.

- Results of the Poll to See What’s Next for Noe and Nat. Complete! – Something we did get covered, yes! Our poll kept on going in from July until it finally ended with results. The beWildernautsspoke and it’s decided, there’s Double Noemi in out near future, as per what you want, what you really, really want! Coming up next after AoH’s v0.26, we’ll be doing NTR’s v0.21 as per the goals above, then NTR v0.22 right after that, against the grain of our usual leapfrogging. That’s the news, and this here’s our tick! Looking forward to that double dinner? We are!

- Proof of Life and Our Still Burning Passions, Meaning Posts, Discord and Twitter Still Coming! Partial (50%) – Still here, still kicking, still chatting on Discord and communing on Twitter (we’re not calling it X), and even posting on here when it felt we had news worth some sharing. We’ll admit, we mostly kept our heads down this month which is not like us, trying to stay focuses and motivated to push what’s on our plate forward each and every day, as much to the max as we could. We did get a big post of hodge podge topics read ready, the highlights of which are some sweet purchases of a motherboard and CPU for the second and next Render Machine that’ll carry our game-making forward, so important gains have been made. At last we’re seeing light at the end of the tunnel. That said, it’s not enough to fully sing over. It’s not improvements we have to make use of now, and it’s not giving us much more to be posting about let along get back to sharing sexy ladies by the week load, huh? We were active on as many places as we could be, but it’s not our usual high standard of communication, so it’s only a partial half-check tick on this one this month. Sound fair?

So then, how august was August for us? Not as imposing as we wanted but not a goose egg neither. Second time in a row it’s shaped up to be 37.5% (1.5/4), not at all our best but by the same token it could be worse and wasn’t. It’s still all down to having to struggle through a wreak of a rendering machine, one that can take as much time as a pot of coffee to boil and cool off to make even the most minor of changes to scenes and images, which let us tell you really does drag. Doesn’t help we’ve got acrobatics, s.e.x and acrobatic s.e.x. all going on at once in the current version, so there’s many of those long changes to be making each CG. Oh well, we can only make the best of a bad lot right now, but that doesn’t mean the future doesn’t hold great things eventually. Here’s hoping September can deliver them, so let’s see where the aim sights are set one more time!

What to expect in September:

- Agents of Heels v0.26 to the Daring fans. We need to see our Agent get the job done, even If she’s not our Agent anymore but perhaps the Bad Guy’s Girl! Corrupt Nat, we’ve all waited so damn long, so yourself! We’ve got most of the art bar the unrecovered images, we’ve got post-production started on some pieces too, we’ve even cracked open the engine and flushed out the dust and broken references… We can almost taste her in our mouths and feel her on our… you know… already… So come on God, let September rain it redheads for us! That’s our top goal and we’re sticking to it!

- Official Handover to Noemi’s v0.21, Complete with Public Teaser Plating. As much as we love our Natasha and her leather clad ass in motion, we’ve a hankering for some service with a smile… the kind that grow and the kind that shows, all a lot more the more of a tip you leave! Tortured metaphor there aside, we’ll soon be back to Philly for the first of a double dish dinner, once we save/endanger the world some in AoH! Showing off all that’s coming Noemi’s way will be our second hottest goal after too!

- Status Reporting on the State of Machine X, Our New Machine-In-Progress. The main hump in our road to paradise right now is of course getting from the sinking machine that is our old clunker into a new and improved art powerhouse PC, and so far we’re 3 parts down, a little under a half dozen more to go. For those of you fan boys and girls here who’ve read down this far, we’ve a special reward just for you all. We’ve buried the lead! We’ve got a new GPU, and a damn good one too, plus the rest of the parts are lined up and either on order or soon to be. We expect by late September to be able to show off something neat as we report on just how In Progress the machine is by then. We can’t wait, can you?

- Posting, Discording and Twittering (Xing too, but not on Twitter, har-har!) as Communication is Still Key to Community! Going to keep on keeping on, keep on creating and keeping y’all in the beWilder loop as we forge ahead. Active chats, Friday Fan Times, #ScreenShotSaturdays to name but a few places you’ll find us. Y’all welcome to be a part of it all too iffin’ you will. Sexy women are better enjoyed shared! … That didn’t come out right, but even so! Let’s get our kicks all the same. See you there!

Ok then, that’s another wrap, for better or worst. What matters is we’re still holding on and pushing sexy, huh? That’s a lot, even mostly, thanks to those loyal, lovely, and generous folk we call our supporters, to who we owe a deep well of gratitude and our sincerest thanks too. Well, you have it twice over. Thank you. Thank you kindly. We’re sorry we haven’t had the launches we all wanted, us very much included, but it’s a tale you’ve heard from us already, so we won’t say it all again, aside from the thank you. You’re the best of us, it’s true. We’ll say it all you want, but we’re guessing that you’d rather we get on with the job again, wouldn’t you? Then let’s do it.

Thanks all for coming to our accounting post, until we’ve got something with a lot more jazz to thrust in your faces this coming month…

Be ready to wake up well before September ends, and beWilder!
