EP8 Release (June 30th), Voice-Overs, Test-Level, Misc
🕑 Added 2023-06-23 06:00:03 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
we hope you had a lovely week. Temperatures are getting crazy hot (for Austria) here. I spent a couple of days on the construction site, helping with work on the roof in direct sunlight. Boy, that is fun...š„“
Let's continue with today's Update:
EPISODE 8:
So, next week Episode 8 will be released in June 30th (as you probably already know) š. The resolution will be in 4k and we will have Subtitles in English, German, Spanish and French.
And you can already have codesš„³! Please just make sure you are eligible for a code this month. If not, please write to us next time your pledge is processed. That will save us a lot of time. Thanks!
IMPORTANT: You canĀ“t redeem the codes yet, you need to wait until EP8 is really live on Affect3D. Sorry about that, wasn't aware of that until right now.
I really like that episode, I think itĀ“s the most sensual we had so far. And it is a nice contrast to Episode 9, which will be a bit more intense.
VOICE-OVERS:
As promised I uploaded 10 Voice-Overs for each character here:
=> LINK super-hot-sexy-seductive-Sex-Voice-Overs š
The only one's missing now are the from Richard (not yet delivered), but I donĀ“t think there is much demand for that for now. But the Voice-Overs from the girls are really hot. When I split them in individual files so we can randomly play them, I was literally doing hard work š
SA-NEW WORLDS (next game):
Good news first:
I attached a couple of screenshots of the test-level for you. I am honestly very impressed away from the engine's capabilities and performance. It runs really well!
The Waterfall is still Work-in-Progress, but I already like it. And: it is really simulated!
And the Ocean Waves... I love the look š„°That's with a new plugin that just came out for Unreal. There are still a lot of things not working as they should, but the look is amazing...
Not-so-good news:
Actually not really bad news, but just means extra work for me. We need to adapt all character rigs (internal skeleton) with a hierarchy that is closer to Unreal Engine 5 standards. That means an extra month of work for me, but it will also make everything easier for game development in the future. It is a necessary step we will have to do sooner or later. And better now, at the beginning of the development than later. It will save us time and troubles later.
More good news again:
We aim to have a version of the Test Level where you can run around a bit (similar to our first UE4 Benchmark, if you remember that) end of July/Beginning of August. It will be really basic and mostly to see how it runs on your systems. But nevertheless fun š
MISC:
- Summer break 1st week of July, then another 2 weeks is spread over July and August. DonĀ“t know yet when.
- Main Construction site will be done 2nd week of July, then there is just small stuff left. So we can finally relax after 5 months of noise. Which is great if you have a small baby that needs sleep š„“
PIRACY:
We run a test month with a company that takes care of that and were shocked by the amount of piracy... And that is just from Episode 7!
So much for arguments of Pirates "Yeah, not so bad, don't worry! We donĀ“t affect your sales" It is bad, and itĀ“s getting worse. And you can also see the number of removed links. ThatĀ“s a joke compared to the active ones... And thatĀ“s with a company that does that professionally.
The numbers actually reflect in the sales as well. Sales are at an all-time low and that's not just because of the inflation running rampage all over the world, we did some analysis of the pirate links and the more links, the lower the sales.
So if you find links, please send me a direct message and I will add them to the list to be removed. Even though we probably canĀ“t do much about it when you look at the notified and removed ratio š„
ā¤ļøLast but not least: Thank you! ā¤ļøThank you for your ongoing financial and moral support, your kind words, your feedback and believing in us. Without you, we would have had to stop content creation and I continue my job as Freelancer again. Sales are really that bad and you Guys&Girls save us. We really appreciate that! š„°Thank you, thank you, thank youš„°
With that said: itĀ“s a wrap for this week!
Have a great weekend, let us know about the codes and enjoy the nice screenshots from the Test-Level.
All the very best,
PM & Team

Appreciate all the hard work. I can't wait for the EP8.
Puppetmaster3dx
My pleasure! I am just glad that you are into it! And I do want to make really cool games. ItĀ“s just a matter of time :) With UE5 we are definitely a huge step closer and it looks really good :)

Just wanna say thanks for all you do. Itās awesome to have a game series for ppl like us who are into this sort of thing, cause thereās not a whole lot out there in terms of games. It means a lot ā

All good, thatĀ“s why we had 2 versions of EP7. Richard was an experiment and I am glad I did it nevertheless :) Piracy, to some extent (if you canĀ“t afford it for example) is one thing and I can live with that. What's disturbing, and honestly stupid, is sharing the hell out of content, complaining in piracy forums about quality/story/whatever, mocking and simply this ungratefulness. If that is an English Word š It's one thing to consume (and ideally enjoy) the content, but another to systematically share it and distribute it as much as possible. I mean, of course, thatĀ“s affecting the creators and is very demotivating. I am just glad I got my reliable Patreon support from you guys, which will take me through everything š„°

Love your work and can't wait to see what's next! One thing I felt since EP 7 is that the male character was a miss, at least for me... A bit like a Ken doll - not a turn on š Maybe if the character had different design it would have been better, now he just looks a lot like the girls to be honest š Never got the guy version of the last episode. I have been a long-time supporter and I will continue to be. Hopefully things will pick up. I have done my share of piracy way back when, but then I really didn't have the means to purchase any content at all. I'm glad I was legit all the way with you and other creators, especially since now I was able to be. Keep up the good work!

PM -- you are the BEST creator on Patreon. You are clear, detailed, and your updates are pretty much continuous. Your professionalism is outstanding and your sense of humor is awesome. I love your work (which is why I've been a supporter for quite some time).

Very much looking forward to Episode 8. I love a nice sensual episode and the trailer looks awesome, but I have to say that I'm even more excited about the upcoming episode 9. I was already expecting a more intense encounter between Alex and Trinity, but having you confirm this is great. The power dynamic in that pairing is fascinating, since I wonder who'll have the upper hand here and if there may be a little struggle for dominance between these two confident/cocky individuals. Whatever you have in store for that, I'm sure it will be amazing!
MrLeroyWilliams
Great shit as always PM. Can't wait. Happy to be a patron.
