Dev Update #212


I'm still behind on my schedule. I wasted quite some time on personal life stuff and spent a non-negligible amount of time reworking a couple of paragraphs of the script, once again.

However, more than half of the scene is now posed and that was the "difficult" half. I still have some more personal stuff to take care of in the coming weeks but I have good hopes to progress faster.

Reworking scenes 1 and 10 from Day 2 took me too much time. I know I kind of overdid it. I hope I'll manage to keep myself in check for the time.

Reworking old scenes is both necessary and satisfying in its own way but I do need to work on new content. I have that disagreeable feeling of stagnation that I need to get rid of. The two new scenes I want to include in the next update will be fairly big and they're pretty important to me and I'm pretty impatient to start working on that content.

I'm also thinking a lot about the other content to come, in v0.6.5 and further. An 8-month-long dev cycle just isn't sustainable. I didn't want to split the content further, but I'm increasingly thinking about compromising. I don't like that, but it may be necessary.

The quick sum up :

  • Day 6 Part 4 will contain 2 new scenes: scenes 26 and 27
  • Day 6 Part 4 will contain 2 reworked scenes from Day 2, Scenes 1 and 10
  • Day 2, Scene 1 and 10 have been rewritten, Day 2 Scene 1 has been posed and rendered.
  • 9729 words so far.
  • 276 shots are planned, 225 are posed, and 148 are rendered.
  • I'm working on posing Day 2, Scene 10.

Look, I want to have speedy new installments as much as anyone, but you have to stop beating yourself up for having a real life!  It's okay to have a doctor appointment, or to go on a vacation once in a while.  I'd hate to see this game turn into another one-update-per-year game, but if you get burned out, well, that's not good for anyone either.  You're doing great, really one of the best AVNs out there, and I'm sure most of your fans would rather wait a bit longer and have the usual stellar quality update that you're known for than get something less than that in a hurry.

I haven't taken any real vacation since 2019. I have to confess that I do miss it.
I didn't feel like I was "beating myself up", but you may be right.
But there is so much to do that I always feel like I'm wasting time.
Maybe I should take care of myself a bit more.
Thank you for your kind words.
