Hi everyone!
Straight to the point we go!
Chapter 2 Part C is almost done! Worst case scenario, it’s two weeks away.
Some of you may find this disappointing, which I completely understand. If that's the case for you, I sincerely apologize. But for me, this is fantastic news! I'm thrilled. I'm sick of this version. It's been in the works for far too long, and I'm ready to move on.
I said Part C would be released in January, and I still intend to stick to that. The animations are already complete, with only a few dozen renders remaining, as well as polishing, post-production, and some programming. This is the lightest workload by far. The only remaining real challenge is managing the branching, which is becoming more difficult, as well as ensuring that everything behaves exactly as intended.
I'm not giving a specific release date because I don't know what issues might come up along the way. That is why I am sticking to a two-week timeframe.On a personal level, 2025 was one of the worst years of my life. There were a lot of things going on, some of which I've shared with you in past devlogs. Thankfully, that period is now behind me... and things are starting to shine again. This has been my most productive month in a very, very long time!
Some time was also spent getting the new rig ready, and it's now working quite well. We haven't seen a significant increase in render numbers yet, but everything looks very promising as my coworker develops the habit and workflow. We're not talking about doubling production (their GPU isn't as powerful as mine) but I can see a 1.5x speed increase happening.
🥭About Special Renders
I’ve decided the new special render cycle:
On the 2nd of every month, I’ll post a poll to choose the theme and the girls for that month. The girls featured the previous month will sit this one out and get some rest. The polls will run until the 7th.
By the 14th, I’ll upload the first render of the set, available to $10+ tiers. By the 21st, I’ll upload the second render, available to $5+ tiers.
I may occasionally release other special renders that have nothing to do with these sets or characters, but this structure ensures a consistent flow of new content.
This will go into effect on February 2!
🥭Previews!
You know I can only share "safe" content in public posts. So I will make another preview post for paid members in a couple of days. (You know what type of content you'll find there)
First of all, a discarded Valerie pic for Chapter Report.
(I didn't like how sideways she was to the camera. I also had to cut the cat ears, and it didn’t look as clean. Made by coworker.)
On the other hand, Daphne’s one made it into the final version.
(Also made by coworker.)
New tabs for some of the new characters in the Intimacies menu.
Now, here are some real renders.
There is one large scene I still need to edit, so no previews for that one.
That's all for now :)
I'll make a post announcing the exact date one week before release. That should happen very soon!
To everyone who’s stuck around, or plans to, thank you so much. I truly appreciate it. ^^
We'll be back (much, much sooner than before) with new posts!
