Now, and looking ahead...
🕑 Added 2020-10-03 20:27:10 +0000 UTCHappy Saturday to you all!
I'll get to the attached images in a moment. First, I wanted to give you guys an update on my situation and let you know that I am still working on Serenity and nothing about that has changed. Except of course my initial release plan.
Working on days 3 and 4 have taught me that from now on, I'll only be doing major updates that include one in-game day instead of two. The reason is because I am determined to have an image per line of script with occasionally 2 lines of script. And with the amount of conversations that need to take place, it is a lot to try to get done in a short time. So, after this update, the next one will be day 5, followed by day 6, and so on. Doing this will also allow me to extend the amount of content in one day.
As far as a new release date, I'm pretty much dead in the water with my old PC at this point so I am stuck waiting for the new one to be delivered. I have the case and hard drive already... the rest is due to arrive on Monday 10/5. Depending on what time of day that arrives, I hope to have it built, Windows installed and all my stuff back in order by Tuesday, and plan to be working on the last renders I need for this update that night if possible. This is not carved in stone, but I am shooting for having this done and ready for release before the next weekend.
Not only have I been struggling with my PC, but also with changes I put into the story. The inner battle between the 'writer' in me, and the 'renderer' has been harsh! The writer wants THIS, and the renderer has to figure it out. I may be hard on myself but I have a vision that I am trying to accomplish. Anyway, so that's where I am with Serenity.
Now about the images... I haven't posted anything new in here for my patrons in a while and didn't have anything ready to share yet. But, I've mentioned that I have several stories on standby. A little while back I did some test rendering to get some kind of visual on how one of those stories might look. What you see are those renders. I added some script to give you some idea what is going on. This is near the beginning of the story. The last image is Jenni later in the story. These are not definite of course, but thought you guys might be interested in what may be on the horizon in N2's world. The working title for this one is Destiny. It will have only 3 girls (one is an android, and there may be a Neko in the mix as well). The MC is captain of a ship that is the last to leave earth as people are trying to escape a dying planet. Shown here are only 2 of the girls, the human is Jenni (Jennifer) and the android is Desi (Destiny). Desi controls the ship. She longs to live as a human and experience love, laughter, and other emotions. Similar to a famous character in another popular series, she will experiment with an emotion chip termed 'the love chip'. That's all I'll say about it at this time. And I am a very long way off from starting work on that as Serenity has a very long way to go yet.
That's all for now. I'm hoping to make time for some special wallpapers sometime after this update if all goes well. As for Destiny, feel free to share your thoughts. When the time comes to start work on that one, I will have multiple characters created and have you guys vote on which models will be used in that story. Thank you all for your continued support, as always, much appreciated and helps me pay for this new PC. :)

Good luck with getting the 'puter all set up. Not to worried about when it all gets done, as I am a patient one. "Life is what happens when you make plans!" Not sure who said it first, but I like to use it, as this is often what becomes of things when plans are involved! Loving the interesting renders and the sound of the other story, and looking forward to more Serenity! Pacing one's self is a good idea...
