1000 Patrons, Project Status and the Upcoming Release
🕑 Added 2018-02-26 19:25:00 +0000 UTC Hi everyone,First things first unbelievable happened... we have reached 1,000 Patrons! It's been a heck of a road getting here, and I want to thank every single one of you for your support. Every donation helps, and it's only thanks to our Patrons that we can do this. As we continue to grow just remember that we can't do this without you!
Thank you all!
Project Status
Now for the not so great news, I'm sure you can tell that things have been quiet around here over the last couple of weeks. We've been working hard, as always on the latest update of Babysitter with a largest update that was set to start on the evening of Day 11 and finish on the evening of Day 12 and should consist 7 main scenes.
It was going great. I've been rendering all month, and getting things ready as well. It's a pretty big update, and the plan was to have it out to you this week. That all changed a couple of days ago.
One of my two rendering stations more or less caught fire due GPU overheating failure. Everything, from the motherboard to the connectors of hard drive were pretty much melted...
Although I will get warranty reimbursement, I am not sure about images from scene 4 which are stuck on hard drive which I gave to the technician while I was not able to retrieve anything from it. It was a complicated scene, with three different variations, and all the renders for it were suddenly gone.
Now normally we might have some options, like cutting the scene entirely and writing around it. That wouldn't work in this case because it's pretty integral to the story. We also thought it might be possible to just throw fewer, lesser quality images together and get it out just in the nick of time. At the end of the day though, that would neither be a project that we were proud of, or up to the quality that you guys expect from us.
So that left us with two options. Hold the release until next month, or release a smaller update this month to give you guys something. We decided to to the former and for all 10+ Patreons. So over the next day or two as we finish up testing we will release what we have done so far. Think of it as a preview for what is coming in the next couple of weeks when we release the rest of the update.
No one is more disappointed in what happened than I am. But the final results will be well worth it. There are a lot of interesting (and sexy) situations coming mainly for Christine and we can't wait to show them to you.
Once again, thank you for your continued support.
