Hello, everyone!
This week we continued coding and post-processing renders. The first scenes are officially in and waiting for SFX! Next up will be some branch testing. The game is currently tracking a couple hundred variables that affect dialogue and scenes, sometimes with several options. Today's header cat, for example—you could only pet him if you previously selected "petting stray cats" as your favorite hobby on the introduction sheet. That also happens to be the option favored by Eve.
We also continued working on a group scene which is pretty fun to create, but branchy as hell! We'll see if we stick to our original plan for the scene. It feels a bit ambitious right now, but hopefully it'll work out exactly the way we envisioned it.
We also took a moment to think about the extra content, such as the special renders. We decided that they'll be making a return, but perhaps in a smaller size than the previous "wallpaper" size. We'll see about that still. In the end, the specials are fun to create while offering a bit of variety and let us experiment with things outside of the game.
Last week we talked about the design workbench, so here's a little preview from there...

Cassandra 180

For Cassandra's outfit, we were aiming for something casual she'd wear after the gym. We considered slack pants at first, but it didn't seem like her style. We also considered if maybe she'd keep her gym leggings, but they were ultimately too sweaty for her, even if someone might've liked that. So jeggings it is! With a shirt that emphasizes her assets.

Weekly summary:
- 79 renders
- Coding first scenes
- Scripting evening
- Post-processing renders

Cheers and have a comfy weekend!
Robison & Npx

So Cass's making an appearance in this update huh? One more reason to look forward to it then.

Okay, so the special renders are back but in a smaller variation? I still would've preferred no special renders with a focus on previews instead but whatever.

Honestly, me too. It's been months since the release of the last update and there hasn't been a single preview. Anyway, let's see what they mean by "in a smaller size".

Render count update based on numbers from the weekly reports:

[Dryme]

She only likes scrolling through instagram, watching porn and feeling suicidal. So dont worry about her screwing around with someone else.

In that case, I have a lot in common with her

 

[Tremonia]

In that case, I have a lot in common with her

That's sad.

 

[Dryme]

That's sad.

Just a drop in the ocean

idk if its the change from 60fps to 30fps but at this rate they're going to match the 1800 renders from 0.6 in almost half the time it took for last update

Well, hopefully that can only be a positive thing!

Well, hopefully that can only be a positive thing!

then polishing for two years

 

[GameRebel]

Installed the new version and saved my game, but don't see the regular Saves folder in Game folder.
What's the new save files directory?

Update: Nevermind the above, I read the install instruction file
Save location: AppData\Roaming\Renpy\no-1618165983

 

[PrivilegedCholo]

That also happens to be the option favored by Eve.
We also continued working on a group scene which is pretty fun to create, but branchy as hell!

Time to make some more routes.

Anything pre-2026 is fine

 

[BlenderGuy]

I keep thinking the MC is in some sort of coma b/c whenever you see the back of his head, he looks like a much older man/older haircut. Also the amount of sun damage on his back in the pool. Anyone else clock that?

 

[DirtyMario]

Sun damage? You talking about his freckles?

What date is Sophie talking about in the latest update? Do they have any restaurants where you can take a girl or cinemas? in the place where they are located with a population of 300 people

If they have a strip club then they probably have a cutesy diner too. Tbh the devs can do so much more than a simple date or something. Romance as a genre is definitely very varied so I'd like them to do something new and out of the box.
