Hi!

Sooo… things are fine… just about… I guess…

No, seriously, they are fine it’s just, we lost three people from the animation team all at once. All for different reasons, not just because I’m a tyrant.

The next release should, and that is a big should, be on time. Those animations were animated with simulation, lighting and rendering still to do. So, it looks like we may well get there and if there is a delay, it won’t be a big one. The next release after that… I honestly can’t say. Jim is slaving away with interviews and contacting people so you never know.

Sin’s work

I’m always a step ahead of the rest of development as I need to keep content coming so we don’t run out of work. I have a couple of episodes waiting for the green light and in the meantime I’m up to the Release 11 script for the main route. Today, in fact, I was working on the conversation about what changes Sue should get just prior to her getting them.

3 Variation

We have decided to go with 3 versions of Bimbo Sue. 1 is a general body upgrade to a more bimbo like physique, 2 is the same as 1 but with facial changes too. 3 is the first two but with several tattoos.

The one you pick will then be the new appearance of Sue. We’ve discussed it with the artists and have found an efficient way to swap between the Sue models while producing the images. The render times will go up as every shot that features Sue will have to be done 3 times and animations too.

It would, of course, be great to have more variation or more ability to pick which bits of the transformation you would like but with the way the game is made, 3 variations is about as many as we can comfortably work with.

It’s such a big decision, I’m making it so you have to pick it a second time to give you a chance to change your mind. I may change that when I see how it plays, but I felt it was important to give the choice some weight.

Sun sand and Sinburn

I know I’m often late with these blogs but I know I’ll be late next week as I’ll be travelling. It’s a “work” trip. After a long time working together, I’m going over to meet Jim for the first time face to face. Who knows what such a momentous meeting will manifest.

I’ll let you all know how it goes next week.

Catch you all later.
