Lots of progress and changes to report this time around. It's a nice change of pace from the prior monotonous vague "continued coding" reports.
Coding:
The rewrite is essentially complete. At this point, the last version of PT is completely playable with the new code base. I initially spent a few weeks creatin...

Last weekend I was out of town for the wife's birthday, but overall it was another quiet week. Wrapped up the extremely slow to render bathtub scene and finished and rendered the animations.
Was also dealing with Steam for Personal Trainer. They want a game build to check the sexual content before approving the store page. Said it doesn't ...

In case it wasn't obvious enough, this was an April Fool's day joke.

Finally received all my parts and spent the better of today putting everything together and stress testing the system. OZ absolutely helped me find the right items in German so no need to kick him too hard just yet. I was fully expecting something to break but somehow all the parts and drives I brought with me work and no data was lost. I even t...
2023-01-10 00:34:04 +0000 UTC View PostHope everyone had a great new years celebration.
I'm boarding a plane in two hours and beginning the next step of my new life. Let's hope Oz is kind enough to help me source the new PC parts once I arrive.
Publically shame him if he doesn't.
See ya on the ground,

Just a quick update of where I'm at personally.
As you may know, I'm moving to Europe right after New Years. I'm finishing up packing and will have the movers swing by tomorrow to grab everything. The shipping container can take up to 4 months to arrive, so instead I'm parting out my computer and taking the vital parts such as s...
2022-12-19 15:36:29 +0000 UTC View PostDecided to make this Dev Talk public as Patrons were already more or less aware of some of these hardships.
Overall I'm feeling relieved and good about episode two. It was well received but also did have some fair criticism over the long development cycle. I've briefly touched on some of the pain points in the past, but will sum...
The private test build should be completed and ready for testers within the next 24 hours. If nothing major is discovered, the $10 Patron beta build will be released this Friday.
Episode 2 is roughly 30% larger than Episode 1 and I'm looking forward to hear everyone's feedback.

2022-10-03 18:59:06 +0000 UTC View PostPatreon has just offered "Subscription Billing", which charges patrons on the day they pledge and reoccurs every month on that same date. Previously, patrons would be charged on their initial pledge and then again at the start of every month.

In the recent Dev Talks I was discussing minimizing addons/third party tools and trying to stick to internal Blender stuff for stability. This is a great quick example of what I was talking about and shows the power of Blender's Geometry nodes. Miki3DX developed this tool but since it's entirely done internally within geometry nodes, it offers a...

Was sort of dreading catching up on the backlog of monthly 4k renders I've accumulated, but this one has been fun as hell. Will be ready soon.

Our third lovely lady has decided to make an appearance. Selene is in upper management. Would you go full Karen and demand to speak with her?

I'm excited to finally reveal the next project, In a Scent. Personal Trainer was the first project casting a wide net to learn as much as possible about game development. There were a lot of lessons learned not only about developing the game but my own personal preferences. In a Scent will be taking a much more focused approach. The cha...
2021-04-17 04:32:57 +0000 UTC View PostAnother quick update. Still here, still solving the character creation process. I last mentioned working on a custom skin shader and painting textures. After easily spending 120+ hours on nothing but this topic, it's now been solved.

Hi everyone, just a quick update on the next project.
Although the idea has been known to me for quite some time now, actually turning it into a proper, well-thought out story is another matter. This time around, I'll be working on a Visual Novel with a much smaller cast of characters where we can focus on developing them in meaning...
The test build is now in the hands of the bug testers. If everything goes well, expect the new version out this Friday!
Just a quick update for you guys. The test build for the new update has been sent out to the testers. If all goes well the update should be out some time this Friday.
There's still some issues in the code to solve but I have high hopes. Fingers crossed!

Alright guys, I'm excited to finally come clean. This will be a bit lengthy.
So a couple of months ago I was planning to do a Christmas special focusing on a lot of fun animations. You guys may have seen a few of them that I had posted. Well, I absolutely lost my shit in frustration with doing animations in Daz. Most of the time was spent ...
