🕑 Added 2021-07-18 16:33:11 +0000 UTC1. Hartlepool Resort!
Here the Hartlepool resort, Summer Nobles Special. Been nice to make this 9 pics special (4 Main pics and some extra shots) to break up the pace a bit! I hope it gives you some nice summer vibes ;)
(As always, 4k images attached)
2. Partial Beta Devlog:
So around the beginning of the month I already saw that I should focus on releasing a partial beta for testers, both to offer some new content, and to ease the testing burden of the full release (I think I said something about maybe releasing a partial release now and then, and yeah, it's the smartest move to split work and lose some work stress).
So since then I've been focusing on preparing and coding all the Minerva and Gypsy content (+ other stuff) to be game ready and that part is closer to completion. (And also all the needed bugfixes on Penketh that has been reported past months)
My main mistake this time was starting coding the Main Story. I had 90% renders for it ready so I thought it was better to finish that first, but of course Main story is what needs more code and more love (Well, harder love) so it drags more and there is a lot of other content on the release to get done so... Yeah I should have started with the Fun Stuff first and release a partial beta sooner. (but I love the main story part so was hard try to not have that ready xD)
As with all my big updates, my expectations for coding times have proved humanly impossible. Apart from the general coding changes to the game due to new features, the large, large number of animations and sex scenes, and the care I try to put into the scenes leading up to them, the amount of work is immense and it's dragging a bit.
I had the same problem past year when I tried to release what ended being 0.13 and 0.15 in a single update. But major reason to do that were the computer problems (The RAM crashes...) That Made me impossible to render big scenes for weeks so I had to settle on launching 0.13 (Just one of the Hartlepool paths) and take more time to be able to finish the Warpath.
This time I don't have any working problem so I'm pressing on releasing all the 0.20 content as a whole. That means bigger waiting time (the one we having) but of course a lot of content on release.
The release will be for testers only (I guess) and will include at least half an hour of scenes less important to the story but have a lot of fun times. (I guess at least 20 animations) (but I guess that with the freeroam and build up it will be longer, as I'm very bad taking in consideration actual gameplay time (I always think is less than finally is as you may have noticed).
As I'm finishing with all that part and testing it, When I think there is enough content polished for the partial beta I'll release it. So priority is just to put all scenes that can be put outside the main story, I hope it will not take much time but hours pass like crazy when working with so much content and code and bugfixing. (And specially when coding the sex scenes to be as complete and repetition-friendly as I can do)
3. About next SummerSpecial:
What do you think, I make some extra renders and poses about the SummerSpecial #1 Preview (Akros family, faster as the scene is set up) or I go for a next and original SummerSpecial #3? (Heirs, longer as I have to create the scene). Leave me a comment ;)
I hope you'll doing well! Here just trying to not die with the mediterranean sticky heat while coding and rendering and bugfixing and testing and chop chop ;)
I hope It don't take too many days to give you more news ;)
