1. General Info
In the last post, I told you guys that I deleted most of my Renders because I was now capable of creating better ones. (I know that many of you would've been okay with the old ones but I would lose sleep about the fact that I could've done it better.)
I started to work on the new Chapter 6, 15 days ago and I am over 300 still renders and 3 animations back in. (I had to scrap 1 animation due to hardware limitations. This Animation is now on the waiting list until I have better equipment.)
It could've been more but "the camping trip from hell" was there.
I did finish the camping trip 2 days ago and you can't believe how good this feels.
Normally, when I think about working on the game, I feel excited but the camping trip made it feel like a punishment.
I say it again.. Imagine playing a shooter with 3FPs and every time you shoot you get still screen for 3-5 seconds and no matter how long you render, the images won't look like you wanted to.
But it's finally over.
And don't worry if the % on the main site doesn't change for a few days or a week, progress is made every day. I just forget to change it now and then.
2. Good news
What?! An AVN developer has good news and no bad news to justify his delays? Blasphemy!
As y'all know I had to take a second part-time job to cover my expenses. This part-time job did destroy my whole time management and my work-life balance.
But, I was able to quit it thanks to the success "Summer's Gone" found.
So, at the moment all my expenses are covered by my AVN's. I don't make much of a profit but at least I don't have to fear debt anymore.
I want to thank everyone here and over at SG's Patreon page for the support!
3. Planned Upgrade
I love creating "games" (Is an AVN even a game?). I love telling stories and because I fucking love it I plan on buying a second PC.
I mentioned in an earlier post that I wanted to buy 2x 2080Ti's. Which I won't do now.
I heard that the new 3080Ti's are supposed to come out in June. They are faster and feature more Vram.
I will now dedicate every single penny I earn to this investment. I plan on buying 2-3 3080Ti's which is obviously a huge thing.
This would increase the speed and quality and I would be able to work on "Summer's Gone" & "Where it all began" simultaneously.
4. Previews and new Leia.
Leia was one of the last characters who still had the same model as in the release version.
But Leia's story is about to start and so I reworked her. I tried to change not too much but.. See for yourselves.
(Drag into a new Tab for a better view.) ( The camping trip does feature an overall lower quality because of the extreme hardware limitations.)
Old Leia in Chapter 4 & Chapter 5:
New Chapter 6 Leia:
The new models will also be used in the rework of Chapter 1-4.
And more previews:
5. Discord merge
WIAB's discord was always very quiet.. and the exact opposite to SG's.
And we decided to merge the two servers for one big "Ocean Games" server.
If you have questions or just want to chat a little come by and take a look.
(Patreons have special roles.)
