Progress Report

This week, my efforts have been almost wholly focused on LLtP as opposed to the new game. With the monumental task of version 0.38 ahead of me, there is no time to lose. Let's reiterate what this update will need to finish:
- Samarra/Nell night scene
- Primrose night scene
- Evelyn night scene
- Callie night scene
- Deep Sleep spell
- Perversity 6
Perversity 6 is almost done, though I'm not going to entirely finish it right away. Because the Samarra/Nell scene is the most mechanically complex part of this update, I decided to get it out of the way ASAP. As a result, I have now fully re-rendered all the images in that scene, improved the existing animations, and added a few new poses that will be needed for the new content. As for the rest, I will focus on the renders first and foremost, implementing them in the game later.
Why did I update the parts of the scene that were already done, you may ask. There were two primary reasons. One was that a lot of people had commented that the scene was very dark on their screens. The other was that Nell's skin was wrong in it. In fact, Nell's skin has brought me nothing but trouble since the beginning of LLtP, and this is far from the first time I've had to update one of her scenes to fix her skin textures, nor will it be the last.
Using the experience I've built up over these past few years, I set up a better lighting rig in the scene and changed Nell's skin, at last, making the whole thing look much, much better. It also renders incredibly fast, which means that I don't have to hold back on animations.
As mentioned before, this is a significant update that will take some time to complete. I'm doing my best to finish it within a reasonable timeframe. I expect to spend the next week on this scene as well, but we'll see.
Until next time!
