Weekly report 204
Added 2024-04-06 00:34:58 +0000 UTCHi everybody.
Happy Friday, and I hope you're all feeling great and are ready to enjoy your weekend. Here's a summary of what Chestnut and I have been up to:
Chestnut:
Last week, she mainly worked on finishing the sex scenes. Her initial tasks count the layered artwork and notable changes to the poses, but she usually does the final edits, additions, and variations in her polish phase, including fixing the frames where the meshes have been incorrectly distorted, adding fluids to the female character's mouth or vagina and the MC's penis frame-by-frame, and also drawing the semen. She had already started this earlier a couple of months ago and she continued that work.
Pistachio:
I exported all sex animation frames, including different facial features, fixed a couple of layered images in Photoshop, and coded everything in the game (almost everything, I'm missing one sex scene which I will work on tonight).
What's next:
Chestnut will keep working on the sex scenes until she's done with them (especially now that I have exported and coded everything in and she can see them in action).
My plan is to add the remaining sound effects, and make sure they work as intended, and then take a day or two to sit down with Chestnut and play through everything, taking notes, and deciding what parts need improvement. It is important to note that I have at least a couple of months of editing and polishing ahead of me, and although I'm very eager for this update to be finished, not rushing it this close to the finish line is essential if we want to have an update that is of the same quality as our previous ones. I will of course keep you all updated on everything, and honestly can't wait to share Gomira's story with you.
That's all.
Have an enjoyable weekend.
Cheers

2024-04-11 20:53:06 +0000 UTCThanks for the thoughtful response. I appreciate that you, too, are not happy with the timeframe and am empathetic to that, and I can absolutely understand the fears that might generate for you, the creator. Dropping smaller, more frequent updates might indeed be a good compromise and keep everyone's hopes and expectations closer to reality.

2024-04-11 01:55:24 +0000 UTCHeard about this game from a different adult game discord. I downloaded it a couple of night ago and played through what’s available so far. Love what content I’ve seen so far, and especially Rose haha. And I’m excited to see more Simmone content as well!

2024-04-10 17:56:30 +0000 UTCI understand and would feel the same if I were in your place. What gives me hope for the future is that the factors that caused 0.7 to take this long are unlikely to happen again (that is, Chestnut and I are not going to have more babies), and although I don't know what the future will bring, we're unlikely to ever take this long for a single release. In addition to that, I plan to break our larger updates into two, should we ever see things aren't moving forward as fast as we'd like them to, because trust me the wait by the players is one thing, but the mental pressure of knowing you're doing worse than before and at times feeling like you can't finish something you've worked so hard on is draining. Add to it the physical fatigue, the fear that people who have trusted us might think we've been dishonest, the fact that fewer people hear about the game, and the lengthy update becomes something less than ideal. We've gone through all of that for this update, and I don't want to go through it again in the future. About AI and hiring more people, we have thought about both and also decided against both. AI art isn't there yet from what I've seen and at any rate, for this update, Chestnut's art hasn't been the bottleneck, my posing has been. About hiring more people, my guess is that that would not drastically speed things up because I would still have to go through everything. I would rather first adapt our current approach and aim to get back to our old pre-baby work-hours which we know works well, than change it drastically and possibly lose even more time in the process.

2024-04-09 19:31:19 +0000 UTCI love your game. It is my absolute favorite spicy game I've ever played. But I have to be honest, after 19 months it's hard to stay excited about what comes next after Gomira. Based on recent timelines, many months ago I figured the update would be done around Christmas, but here we are in April and based on what you're saying it's looking like a June release. I think I'm going to have to forget about the game for 4 or 5 years and come back when there's a backlog of content to see. Are there any plans to hire outside help or use AI to speed up sections of the development process?

2024-04-06 20:21:38 +0000 UTCthe 0.6.02, focusing on Rose's story. the next one will be 0.7 and is centered around Gomira the orc mercenary's content (we "met" her briefly in the dungeon cell through a hole in the wall)
