Hey everybody. Work kept me busy this week, including today which I spent at a work conference. But I did make progress on the still renders, and the animating PC stayed busy.
I don't know exactly when the update will be finished, but the Steam release will be March 7th and you all will get Episode Three some time before that. I'll do a public announcement on the Steam r...

Hey everybody. The weekly update is a few hours late because I've been toying with the lighting in this scene and I wanted to include previews. That's Seo Jun in the towel. 🔥
Still working hard on the update--getting closer every day but still have a lot of work to do. Not much else to talk about this week.
Thank you for your support!

2024-01-20 02:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody, I hope your new year is starting off great.
This week I spent a couple of days tidying things up in the wedding scene and then spent some time on copyright fixes. Remember the James Bond movie posters that I had to replace? I also had a poster of a James Bond car and some images from a Texas football game broadcast, none of which I had licenses for. So tho...
2024-01-14 03:56:15 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody. I just started a render queue of 16 images from the wedding which will probably run through late tomorrow afternoon. After that I've got a couple of hours of render fixes and then I will finally, thank god, be done with the wedding scene.
The wedding scene is substantially shorter than I wrote it. Part of that is trimming fat and keeping the narrative movi...

Hey everybody. Not much to talk about this week. Still no release date, still working on the wedding (previews attached).
2023 has been another busy year. Keeping up the grind of essentially two full time plus jobs for two years now has been taxing, but I remain motivated to finish the game and tell the story I've got in my head.
I hope you all have a great 2024! &...

Hey everybody. I hope my subscribers don't mind, but I'm making this journal entry public so I can give a shout to the artist I hired to handle the lewd renders for Gina's bonus scene. I commissioned these from another artist so I could focus on the story renders, and I think the scene turned out great! In particular I really like this heels shot of Gina. 2023-12-24 06:01:27 +0000 UTC View Post

2023-12-19 08:15:14 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody. Last week I said I'd finish the restaurant part of the Gina scene and then work on the lewd part. Instead, I hired another Daz artist to do the lewd part of the bonus scene. This allows me to keep working on the main story without losing two weeks or more, because the lewd scenes are a lot of work. I don't think I'd ever turn over one of the real sex scene...
2023-12-17 03:03:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys. I haven't decided what to do for the special render this month, but go ahead and vote for which girl you want featured and I'll come up with something fun. I'm going to try to do a promotional holiday render by Christmas so I'll probably do this one before that.

Hey everybody. Just a quick update.
My job kept me very busy this week and there were a couple of nights where I wasn't able to get much done on the game, and then I spent half of today at a work conference. But I did build the scene for MC's sister, and then I switched gears and built the first part of Gina's bonus scene and finished a few dozen renders for that. Tomorr...
2023-12-10 02:08:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody.
I thought I'd work on the dream scene this week, but it took me a couple of days more than I expected to finish with Malena and Anna's scene, and then I went back to finish the final courtroom scene which I had left undone. Renders for both of those scenes are now complete.
My process this update cycle has been different than it was for Episode Two. For Ep...

Hey everybody. This week I worked on the above scene with Malena, and hopefully I'll get the last renders for it queued up by tomorrow night. After that I'm going to work on the bonus scene with Gina so that the animations will be prepped when Sandem is ready for them.
I was starting to lose my mind trying to work around the long save times bug in Daz so last night I finally f...
2023-11-26 04:55:34 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm a bit behind schedule but here are the options for this month's special render. I'm recycling some options that got votes in previous polls.
Bigger Supporter votes are worth one, Biggest Supporter votes are worth two. This poll will run through the 26th.

Hey everybody.
MSI got my animating PC back to me quickly so I only ended up being without it for a week. It's currently rendering the first animation for the next update. As for the Daz software issues, those are still issues. The suggested fix for the eight minute save times might wreck my asset organization, so I'm probably just going to have to wait until I finish th...

Hey everybody. I worked on and finished a scene with MC and the Carrington siblings this week. I'm happy with my level of production, but there were some setbacks.
On Tuesday the graphics card on the new computer stopped working. Due to my work schedule I wasn't able to take it in for repair until Friday (yesterday), and it will probably be two or three weeks before I ge...

Hey everybody. Episode Three sees the return of fan favorite Erin, MC's colleague in the DA's Office. If you missed Erin's bonus scene from Episode Two, you may want to close your bedroom/office door and load that up now.
I am 95% done with the courthouse scenes. There is one final witness for which I need to rewrite his dialogue and do his renders, and he just happens t...
2023-11-05 06:15:46 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody. Still working on the courthouse scenes. I had a relatively productive week and was able to keep my main PC busy with either rendering or posing with no dead time for several days in a row. Meanwhile the new PC is still rerendering the older animations while I wait for the animator to send me the new ones.
That's about it for this week, nothing much to repo...

Hey everybody. This week I worked on the jury trial scenes. The work is not very difficult because I already have all of the assets set up. It's just a matter of posing everything and changing the outfits for each day of the trial. I did create a crime scene for a few brief flashback renders, but otherwise it all takes place in the courtroom.
I have some anxiety ab...

2023-10-20 06:44:26 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody. I have been fighting a cold all week but I think it's finally leaving. It did slow me down a bit but I still finished the last scene I was working on and sent some files to my animator. Now I'm working on the court trial again.
I am a little frustrated with the pace of development this cycle. I'm still working hard, but I feel like the renders are ju...

Hey everybody. I shared these previews on Discord already but here they are for anyone who missed them.
Progress this week was mixed. Sunday through Wednesday I made decent progress on the scene you see here, but Thursday and Friday I was very busy with work and a family function Friday night, so I couldn't work on the game those days.
In the images you see here the ligh...

Aghavni is obviously a very important part of the story. Her volunteer investigation is the catalyst for everything that happens. She is passionate about getting justice for Amy, the murder victim, and has worked very hard to solve the case. We've now had multiple evidences of her great detective instinct...

Hey everybody!
I enjoyed taking a couple of days off, but now that I'm back home I'm ready to get to work again.
I told you I had something cool to show you, and aren't these James Bond posters super cool? If you recall, MC has different posters for these three movies up in his office. These will be replacement posters for those versions.
There are three reasons I...
