Chapter 1: Dev log #1
Hello, 1. Dedicating one PC to each game.2. New GPU cards.3. More words to the rework.1. Dedicating one PC to each gameAs most of you remember, I said that I can now dedicate both PC's to developing one game at a time which should speed up development a lot. And it did but I am running into something that is getting really annoying.There are three huge reasons why I will change my approach.1.If an asset is on PC #1 then I can't turn PC #1...
Blender diary #2
Hello I did post one of these progress/diary updates before about my progress in Blender. From now on I will call it "Blender diary" Learning a 3D software is lonely and quite stressful. (Thank god I have a blender buddy.)By doing these diaries I am kinda sharing my thoughts, problems, and achievements with you guys to relieve stress and also give you an insight into my work. (And if you can explain something, you understood it.)For those...
Release schedule of the rework - POLL
Hello, Now that Summer's Gone Chapter 3 is slowly but surely advancing rather fast thanks to the second PC and I finished the last polishing touches on the writing of the rework a week ago, it is now time to make pick a schedule so that I can start planning the near future.I said that the rework has 80% new content back when I was in the writing process.The rework has 99% new content now.It's like a new game with the same overall story. F...
Blender Progress #1
Hello,As I told you guys in an earlier post, I had to drop Octane because of it's buggy nature and the fact that it will never get fixed. And I also said that Octane was just a stepping stone to Blender.I dedicate 1-3 hours a day to learning Blender and I assume many would think:"Hey, you have some Daz experience.. This should help a lot!" No, it doesn't.Daz teaches you nothing about materials, etc. The only thing I can take from ...

The main menu animations won't play anymore.About MusicI do have access to around 80 tracks at the moment. But none of th...

Chapter 6 Beta.
Hello,Please read everything to avoid unnecessary questions.You can find a changelog at the end of this post.A dev friend of mine made me aware of a mistake I made all the time.This also killed the save compatibility in the previous versions.With the new way, this will be resolved.. However... Most saves seem to be broken now that all variables load into the game at start-up.Most? Yes, some save files work, and others don't. It's like a 1...
Chapter 6 - Release date.
Hello,The last 2 weeks were just a blur due to almost no sleep and my huge focus on finishing up the update.Sadly, real-life did throw some personal obstacles at me which did put me a little off and are still taking a toll on me.I tested and polished the complete update, I re-rendered around 90 renders, added some mini-animations and animated transitions into the game.Tomorrow the game will go to the testers and they will look if I missed anythin...

Status update Chapter 6 - Octane - Custom Melinda and Katarina
Hello,1. Status update Chapter 6The end cinematic I am rendering at the moment is taking a lot of time. The cinematic is a total of 2:30min long. I am currently at 1:50min. So it's almost done. The current render count is 4075 (Including animations) We're close.I was about to dedicate one PC to SG, but I brought it back to WiAB to render animations.. And both PC's are rendering 100 Frame long animations right now. I also had to re-do ...
Chapter 6 status - Octane - New PC status - New Release schedule - Previews
Hello,2 days ago I finished a cinematic with 1000 renders (Animations) in it. This was a last-minute added cinematic that wasn't planned but it popped into my head and I need training anyways.It is 1 minute long and only visible if you spent the night with Katie on the Camping trip and did more than just talk.1 Cinematic to go ---> Then release.I already passed the 3000 render mark thanks to these big animations.- OctaneSome of you might know...
A small Investment was made.
Good day!Corona is currently abusing the world and this leads to Nvidia, delaying their new GPU release. My planned investment of 4x 3080Ti's + Threadripper 3970x will be delayed.Most likely to next year because I have to wait for the custom 3080Ti's. I need the best cooling I can get and we all saw what happened to the founder 2080Ti editions. And I am going to have 4 of them in a box.I certainly won't go a full year without an inves...
Status + small previews.
Hello,*sigh* Update is still not done.The last 2min + Cinematic is taking forever. This cinematic alone has more renders than many games have in an entire update. (Cutscene has around 620 renders in animation and still renders.)I finished a 129h animation yesterday.. It's a 4 part animation and because it was a dark environment, I had to render it even longer to make it look clean.On top, you'll find the animation I wanted to show you guy...
Previews Chapter 6 - Last ones before release.
Hello!I wanted to show you guys an animation that took around 31 hours to render. (It's not even complex ;(. ) But I found a clipping error and because I swore an oath to the Quality-Gods, I cannot use or show this animation.I am currently rendering it again and I tweaked it a little. I will show the animation when it is done.Here is a bunch of random previews:- Ocean (:
Info - Gui/Gallery - Previews - Last previews before the release
Good evening.First of all. - I won't make this month's release.Even though I am working for more than 12 hours a day on WiAB since January, it's not done yet.It's a hardware thing. My PC just can't render faster, It's physically impossible.And to my surprise, quite a few people thought ''I' was actually a "team". Well for those people who thought that.. I am not. I am doing everything myself.What also t...
New Dana & Miru.
Good morning!After the controversy of the new Miru and Dana, I decided to host 2 polls.Miru's one wasn't that close but Dana's was very damn close.The old Miru with subtle changes and new hair & body did win the first poll.Drag the images into a new tab for a better view.The Miru that will be used from now on:Now to Dana... Damn, that was a close one. Even though Dana #2 won the normal count, she lost with just 2 votes after I added t...
Dana Poll!
Good night from the stormy Germany.Some people also criticized the "New Dana" I made... and the more I looked at her, the more I started to hate her, too. It took me hours to find a suitable hair that was tweakable and could be animated.It's poll time and I'll let you guys decide.Dana 1 is her old model with new hair. (The hair was the reason I reworked her in the first place.)Dana 2 is the new model with new hair:And please don&#...
Miru poll!
Hello!After the last update, people criticized that Miru didn't look Asian enough.How dar- and I totally agree. For some reason, she did appear as "enough Asian" to me. But I did take a closer look.Down below you'll find 2 Miru's.Miru 1:This is the old Miru with subtle changes and different hair. (My personal favorite.)Miru 2:This is the completely remade more Asian version from the last previews.Both versions will feature thi...

Good evening,1. General info2. Good news3. Planned Upgrade4. Previews and new Leia5. Discord merge1. General InfoIn the last post, I told you guys that I deleted most of my Renders because I was now capable of creating better ones.

Good morning from the grey, rainy shithole called Germany.I am surprised. I am shocked. I am excited.Female winner = Miru! (We haven't seen that brat in a while.)"Male" winner = Futa girl!I can't believe that the futa girl won. I included her as a little joke and I was surprised to see how many votes she got.She won by just 3 points. It was very close.I would lie if I'd say that I am not excited to do this scene. It's diff...

Wallpapers October 2019
Hey,Down below you'll find a zip file with 31 (+4 comic intros) 4k wallpapers.It took me much longer than I had expected. Around 5h for each image. (render times).I will make an info post later about the future of these wallpapers. (I also changed Helen a little. More to that later.)The characters who didn't appear naked in the game yet won't display their "real" lady parts.I always hated it if a game showed, for example, a dr...
