Serenity (C2-E2) Devlog 10 (Public)
🕑 Added 2022-11-29 02:43:14 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
So, the last 4 days were a long holiday with family and friends. I didn't do any work at all. I really needed that breather, but a part of me wanted to be using that time off from my regular job to focus on this update. Still, before the holiday started, I had been chugging along pretty well knocking these scenes out. As a result of that steady pace, I'm about 85% done. At last, we are finally on the downhill side of this thing. And it won't be much longer now. I have 2 short scenes with an animation in the mix, then a final longer scene that will have some animation work also. Those usually take the longest.
These long development times are rough. I know you guys hate waiting so long for the next one. I do too, believe it or not. I am just as anxious to finish it and play through it as you are. I apologize that it has taken so long. Believe me when I tell you that I work on this as much as I can. But I also try to take time for myself, so I don't get burnt out. Plus, I spend so much more time setting up each scene. Making sure effects look nice, lighting is mostly realistic, and the scene is not empty or bland. Looking back at some of my old scenes, I can hardly believe how much I was neglecting to put into the images.
Anyway, 85% of the renders are done. I have around 4 animations left to create (more or less depending on what I see when doing them - sometimes I like to add more). These are lewd animations, so they're pretty important to get right. Something that I forgot to mention before is that I also fixed the width of the dialog area in Chapter 2 (so it's the same as in Chapter 1 and also Last Human). Of course, we also now have a transparency slider so you can adjust that to your liking. Once all the images and animations are complete, I'll proof and add music - which only takes me a day or two.
Well, back to work. I'll post one final devlog just before the beta is released and give you the release schedule. I'll do that the same as always - $10 and up tiers will receive the beta first. $5 tier will receive it 5 days later. $2 tier will receive it 3 or 4 days after that, then public 3 days after that.
Thanks to everyone supporting me either with subscriptions/donations or just simply enjoying and sending nice comments and reviews. Every little bit helps. So, spread the word and tell friends to give Serenity (or Last Human) a try.
Hang in there, we're almost there! Love you all,
...Fire

Work sounds like good progress and everyone needs a few days off sometimes.

Glad that you took some time for yourself Fire. Family and friends are much more important than a game, although it may be frustrating for you as far as your progress is concerned. Don't worry, we are patient, because we know that you'll deliver a high quality experience.
