Chastity Quest - Progress Report

Okay, folks, time to get on with the good news/bad news stuff. Starting with something that's a little of both, I did figure out, after hours of frustration, what happened with those videos I mentioned yesterday. I recently upgraded my system with the intention of making everything run more smoothly for both projects, which included a new SSD which was large enough to hold the Skyrim build that I'm using for Chastity Quest (which, with all it's mods, is upwards of 60gb). This should have been a universal improvement. Unfortunately, it seems to have caused a heat buildup issue in the system. Essentially, the new SSD doesn't have a heat sink, where the previous one did. And the extra heat just so happens to be right under the graphics card -_-. By tweaking a bunch of things, improving the cooling a bit, and just plain letting the system rest for a bit between video captures, I've managed to resolve the issue.

That's where the good news starts. Thankfully, since I didn't need to redo EVERYTHING for the videos, I've managed to recapture all of them, plus 3 additional ones, tonight. And I'm going to get at least a couple of them edited before I crash. All told, I've probably only lost about 3 days worth of work. That sucks, but it's not going to totally cripple the build.

What it is making me do is reconsider exactly what to put into the build. All 8 of the scenes I've now got assets for are for the Mage Guild content. 4 are directly related to the first Mage Guild Quest, with the other four being content unlocks available after you finish that quest. Another simple scene, already planned for this build, is the Futa variant of the Practical Training in the mage guild. That's actually something that was supposed to be in the game last month, but it slipped through the cracks, with me missing getting the assets for it and not realizing that until it was too late.

The rest of this Build was supposed to introduce the Thieves Guild basic content and location. Unfortunately, one of the very first things I'm planning to do for the Thieves Guild is literally the single most complicated things planned for the ENTIRETY of New Landing. With my original schedule, I was sure I could squeeze both the larger, more complex scenes needs for the first Mage Guild Quest, AND the complex mini-game intended to be part of the core Thieves Guild content. Now short a few days of that planned time, however, I'm uncertain about trying to be that ambitious.  I could almost certainly still get the mini-game in...but it would all-to-likely be the ONLY other thing I got in. And I'm not very happy with that idea.

Therefore, as I process the Mage Guild content and get it actually put into the game, I'm going to be taking a hard look at how to get the best possible build out of the remaining time. I haven't make a choice yet, but if I choose to go with an alternative, that alternative will likely consist of the following:

1) Adding the second of three Mage Guild Quests

and

2) Adding one of the smaller areas, like the Pony Courier service

This would still represent a pretty significant amount of content, with the goal of hitting at least the 15 scene minimum that is the goal of every Chastity Quest build. It would simply shuffle the introduction of another Major Path through the New Landing content off into Build 5, saving me from having to work through the extremely code-and-asset complex mini-game intended to feature as the primary way to raise your Rogue skill.  

Either way, don't think from my previous frustrated and angry post, that you're not going to see quite a bit of content added to Chastity Quest :-p. It's just a matter of what content and if it's a decent-sized-build or a big, ambitious build (which was the original goal)!

P.S. The succubus is a little teaser of the quest content! And for those of you who aren't overly thrilled with futa-content, don't worry, there's some content for her without the futa-status :-p. 

P.P.S Added a few more images. And forgot to mention an important detail. Namely, that most scenes with a Major Character are going to be longer affairs, reflective of patron voting. It's something I've mentioned before, but I wanted to remind you all of it :-p. Since Tylan is a Major Character, her scenes typically feature at least 3 still shots(not counting those that start or end a video), plus either one longer or two shorter videos. More like the content length from the Dom or Sub routes of the Dawn's Rose content!
