Developer Thoughts #4

I am publishing this post today because I had to take 1 day off from my work. In this post, you will read why. Also, I will explain to some people why I decided to do my AVN, and why I haven't had much time to work on the game for the last few weeks.
So, 24 months ago, my mother was diagnosed with malignant clear cell carcinoma, which gave metastasis from her kidney to lymph nodes, bronchi and lungs. She was on chemotherapy (sunitinib) for 18 months until December 2023, but this only weakened her more. Chemo halted the disease for a bit, but after her last CT scan, it turned out that new tumors had appeared in her lungs, so the doctor ordered a change in treatment.
From chemotherapy to immunotherapy (nivolumab). And now I travel with my mother every 2 weeks to the hospital, first on Saturday for a blood test and then on Monday so she can receive the drug.
Thanks to the fact that I have a job for more than 6 months (regular payments), I have less to think about another depressing factor. Until last June, I was unemployed for more than a year, because I left my job abroad, to help my mother deal with the disease.
That's why I decided to publish my game sooner than I initially planned.
What I do in daz3d, renpy, script writing, translation - firstly, I learn new things, and secondly, it gives me some peace of mind from what is going on with my mother.
I'm writing about it more openly now because sadly I've become more accustomed to the reality I have to function in now, or maybe it's because a year ago I wasn't ready/didn't want to write about what was going on in my life with more people.
Now I'd like to move on to more positive information.
Thanks to the fact that I have a job, in December I started thinking about putting together a new computer. If I had only counted on earning money from patrons, I would have given up development a long time ago, but as I said before, I treat the whole development adventure as a marathon, and not a sprint.
Fortunately, I now have a major source of income with which to finance a new computer and allow me to pursue the development of my game.
I will build a new machine for now without a new graphics card, but I hope that when I finally switch to a new PC, then my work as a developer will become more enjoyable.
For those who do not know, I am working on a PC that I built in 2013 😁. Processor i7, not enough memory and about M2 drives I can only dream. For now, I'm browsing and comparing prices of components, but in order to purchase them, I will have to wait for 2 more paychecks. I will have to struggle a bit with the old one, but I can't wait to see how the new hardware will perform.
Now, a few words about WCgW.
I've already created the character I wrote about in the last report. I am in the process of creating scenes involving her. After that, there is really not much work left for me to do regarding the script itself. I will have more work to do with coding. In daz3d what have left to do is to make Fay gallery and put it in the game.
You know it is an additional content, but to unlock all the pictures, the players will have to earn the maximum points with Fay. By the way, this rule applies to all girls. As for the galleries, it is possible that I will reduce the number of images from 20 to 10-12, maybe, for the reason I wrote above. In addition, I come to the conclusion that I should not share all the images, before the given gallery is added to WCgW - I am talking about Amanda's 2 gallery.
That's about it. I've rambled a bit, but that's what posts "developer thoughts" are supposed to look like.
