nah...she is the most freakish character in the game, and that scar fits and underlines its perfectly.
one of only few lacking any real "appeal", apart from being falsely mysterious.
im sure the dev has plans with her, if nothing else as a mean for some additional drama, yet in my game she is just surplus.

Chapter 4 - Dev Log #13
Hello,
As always, 4k Res attached.
So, I'm around 2150 renders in... and pretty much almost done with the Tabletop session ~ 250 lines.
I started and finished one of the cinematics last week and also canceled one that I had planned in the TBT session (~30sec)
Same reason why I canceled a cinematic back in Chapter 3.5. As soon as too many characters are in the scene, it has to load in the materials, etc. for every single frame.
Under these circumstances, even a simple test render takes 3-4h. And it was a very complex cinematic. This would've taken way too long.
There's still a small part of another TBT cinematic left... and then an end cinematic. Certainly doable.
But the worst part is yet to come... Doing brain-melting postwork on 2200+ renders. I'm so not looking forward to that.
Another problem I'm currently facing, one of the music artists I've been working with hasn't responded in like a month. Haven't heard anything from him.
That's a problem for the Steam release with Chapter 5... As I have to give proof of license and I contacted the artist back in 2019 over Social Media, which I deleted back in 2020.
I've also contacted ArtList and they told me the minimum price for their subscription would be 10000$, which I would've paid for full access and covering... But even though I told them many times that the games will contain pornographic content, they kept pushing it down to "Simple nudity" is okay...
I didn't answer them any more.
Turns out all this music stuff is going to be a huge pain in the ass... But without the music, there's no cinematics.
2. Surface Animation
I bought a nice plugin that enables Daz Surface animations... That's a nice thingy.
I'll point it out when I use it in an animation.
3. Previews
SEE POST BELOW
Alright.
Stills will be done before the next Dev Log... Then three cinematics are left + Postwork.
I will start with Postwork when the animations for the cinematics are rendering.
Then I'll do some final polishing and the Beta will be released.
If it wasn't for the extensive TBT session, the update would've been out in Feb. But it was pretty fun working in a futuristic and eerie environment for a change.
I will soon start seriously learning new software... Which are Adobe After Effects and Premiere.
Daz is a big limit on what I can do with cinematics and animations in general... Being able to make up for that in AE and PR can elevate them to a new level.
As I also really want to implement real-life "Photo/Cinematography" into the games. (Cinematics, etc.)
I'm really looking forward to working on Chapter 4x5 and Chapter 5.
I'll see you in the next Dev Log and most likely the last one for Chapter 4.

Ya sounds like with the post-work he's talking about needing to do it's going to be a bit. I had hoped another 2-3 weeks max going off of previous logs but it's probably going to be closer to a month it sounds like.
Sad to hear on the music issues he's running into, hopefully he's able to find a solution. Music exponentially improves these types of games.

yeah, we could be lucky and the next dev log is in 1 week and the beta comes earlyYa sounds like with the post-work he's talking about needing to do it's going to be a bit. I had hoped another 2-3 weeks max going off of previous logs but it's probably going to be closer to a month it sounds like.

I would NEVER understand why anyone would pay a shitload of money for music when you can simply download the music.
It's free.
It's free.

Copyright infringement seems a nightmare to deal with. Look how Youtube suffered with the laws of different countries with the years.

Not all music is free, and if they should free to use, they can ban the use of the titles for things like ...
adult content - and that is widely considered as porn. Copyright and licences are no fun, especially if you use licenced titles and make money with it.
Like i said in a other post, copyritght owners MAY be relaxed when thier product is pirated - they can call it free advertising. But if you start make money out if it you can bet that your ass is sued to hell and back.

What is it that Ocean do when "post-working"? IMO the renders already look good af as always lol. I mean look at this:

I find it hard to believe that Ocean would have difficulty getting copyright permission to play Baby Shark on loop in his next cinematic.

See what Drifty did
Secondly, I'm very happy to be able to announce that I've signed a $20,000 deal to secure the rights to use a huge music library for my next game. And before you ask me if I've gone completely bonkers, music - to me - is an essential tool to add yet another aspect of artistic freedom when designing the scenes and setting the mood. Without it, the game would be worse off. Sure, it's quite a bit of money, but I've always said that I want to use your support for the best of the game, and this is equally important as getting new 3d models, breast enhancement physics, and hardware.
