2. New main menu + other stuff
3. Previews + new Nojiko/Mila

Dev log 6.5

Hello,

Today an unplanned update.

In the last update, I told you guys about the strange behavior of one of my GPUs. (The 1080Ti.)

It's officially a vegetable now.

I don't exactly know what happened because I was at the other PC at that point (Both PC's are on the same monitor) and I was rendering on PC#1 while working on PC #2.

It did happen before that t...

Chapter 3: Dev log #6

Hello,

In Dev log 5 I mentioned that this will be the last dev log before the actual release. And in some way this is true, this is will be the last Dev log with actual in-game previews.

There will be one more shortly before the release in which I will showcase the new Gallery and its f...

Chapter 3: Dev log #5

Hello,

This post puts the update on 70% finished.

This time a smaller Dev Log because I spent the last weeks only rendering and learning Blender.

In the last 3 weeks I rendered around 2150 renders for animations and yesterday I finished two "smaller" cinematics. 

Which puts the render count on around View Post

Blender diary #2

 

Hello

I did post one of these progress/diary updates before about my progress in Blender.
From now on I will call it "Blender diary"

Learning a 3D software is lonely and quite stressful. (Thank god I have a blender buddy.)

By doing these diaries I am kinda sharing my thoughts, problems, and achievements with you guys to relieve stress and also give ...

Chapter 3: Dev log #4

Hello,


Dev log #3 also puts the progress bar at 50%.
With the new update schedule, this would mean an update but as most of you know, this is the last big 5000 line update with around 30k words.

All updates after this one are going to be capped at 2000-2500 lines. (Still big)



A lot happened since the last Dev log.. Let's go through it step for step.&nbs...

Hello,


I am making good progress with Chapter 3, even though the WiAB update isn't finished yet.


Today's update is about Nami.


Due to my strive for quality. I have to get rid of her old hair.
It's like a thorn in my eye. 

Also, I am animating more and more scenes. The new ...

Development start for Chapter 3.

Hello,


It's time. 


After 3000+ renders, my old PC is finishing up the update for "Where it all began". 


This is probably the right time to announce that my new PC arrived. 2 days ago to be exact but I had to set it up first. I did lose some data like some Premiere Pro projects but nothing too major.  View Post

A small investment was made.

 

Good day! 

Corona is currently abusing the world and this leads to Nvidia, delaying their new GPU release.   

My planned investment of 4x 3080Ti's + Threadripper 3970x will be delayed. 

Most likely to next year because I have to wait for the custom 3080Ti's.   I need the best cooling I can get and we ...

Dev update #2

Hello!


Remember when I said "Ocean won't change anything and will just render what I send him?"

Yeah, about that.. he refused to render the stuff I sent him.


As we looked over the renders I'd done before, we came to the conclusion that we need to re-do some of them. Quite a lot actually. 

I'm still not really familiar ...

The initial release was planned for mid July. 

Chapter 2 is around 87% done. 


Due to the low priority I had to ...
