Status Update #25
Added 2025-02-28 22:11:02 +0000 UTCHello there!
This week was a writing week. We went over dialogue, choices, branches, toasters, phone texts and a bunch of typos. Animation dialogue as well, which can be a little bit awkward for us to write sometimes, but it is what it is. There will be some polishing required in a couple of the earlier 0.7 scenes, which we'll deal with later on.
We've also been creating renders and that has been quite fun lately. Playing with lighting is always one of the best parts of the art creation process, as is playing with Blender of course! There's just something special about visual depth and highlighting certain parts that your eyes might wander to.
Next week we'll be focusing on new renders and starting the render creation for freeplay and a Bree scene. Assuming Npx doesn't succumb to his flu over the weekend, that is.
Weekly summary:
68 new renders
Monthly special(s) of Cassandra
Worked on Eve scene
Worked on Livia scene
Scripting
Sound effects
Other news
This month we got the chance to create a special render with Cassandra, so we made two! She might not be a main love interest in Summer Heat, but she's not a side girl either. There's a lot going on when it comes to her and her story, with some of it also being hinted at and shown in-game. These little details will slowly be uncovered and make sense as everything comes together, piece by piece.
You can find Cassie's February Specials here.
Cheers and have a nice weekend,
Robison & Npx

I'm sorry to hear that it got worse, I hope the symptoms go away quickly and completely. I had a persistent cough a few weeks ago and still have some of it. Since I live very close to the northern states of Europe, we unfortunately get more infections due to the colder seasons, can't wait till it's summer.

2025-03-02 13:59:29 +0000 UTCIt'll never stop being tricky! There's still work left with Eve's scenes, so they might get a mention or two still. :)

2025-03-02 13:54:31 +0000 UTCThanks WW! Can't underestimate these anymore, this one has been getting worse for a week now and not slowing down. Can't wait to be able to breathe and talk normally again.

2025-03-01 04:53:42 +0000 UTCBy the time you guys come to read this, we'll know for definite if Npx is dying of flu or somehow struggling through. I do hope you're feeling better now mate. I imagine the writing and the creation of new renders and using blender to create scenes is the best part as it's a chance to be creative so I hope you've beenenjoying your work this week. I don't have too much to say this week other than I want to thank you again for bringing Cassandra into our lives. I can't wait to get to know her on a deeper level. Perhaps even again on a balls deep level ππ That render really was special and there is no doubt that I am all about the Hill sisters π I can't help but wonder if we will meet a third at some point in a future update as well π€πΎ Have a great weekend you guys and get well soon Npx ππΎ

2025-03-01 00:04:09 +0000 UTCPlaying around with the lighting sounds like fun... at least when you know what you're doing! haha I've messed with Daz3D a little bit and trying to figure out how the lighting works can be a little tricky when you're new. π You're working on an Eve scene again??? Woohoo! The more Eve scenes the better!!! ππ Cassie and her lovely mommy milkers look Gorgeous!! ππ Polishing, something always needs more polishing. hah I hope you get well soon NPX and both of you have a good week!!

2025-02-28 22:34:38 +0000 UTCIt's flu season again we need to be careful. Speedy and healthy recovery Npx, a flu needs to be taken seriously. I hope you get the rest to cure the illness as quickly as possible.

2025-02-28 22:32:35 +0000 UTCNice Header π!!! Kathy is trying to remind us of hers as well. Mmm, both sisters π₯°π! That Toaster is always getting love π ... Bree's Scene, Eve's Scene, Livia's scene.... Npx, you better kick that flu's ass ππ».... That Cassie Render was delicious! I can't wait for other girls π. I already got an idea of how a Jenni Render would look like (Jenni, in the store, holding that condom you asked for, mm, mm, mmm π₯°). As always, thanks for the update, guys. Hope everyone continues to have an amazing and awesome week βπ»π! And Npx, whoop its ass! FULL RECOVERY π₯! But in all seriousness, I hope you make a speedy recovery βπ»π!!!!

2025-02-28 22:19:29 +0000 UTCI love playing around with lighting as well. It was one of the hardest things to figure out, but boy it does most of the work at times. Iβd love to make renders as great as yours some day. Thanks Robison and Npx!
