'Sup?
Apologies for going ghost for the past week or so. I've been in a weird funk where I just haven't felt like speaking out much. I've just been vibing and working.
Everything is absolutely fine, I for some reason have only felt like chilling at home and working on the game. Which is also why I haven't finished typing out the Q&A yet... but that'll be done shortly. I'm getting out of the funk.

I want to get back to the original format a bit with these.

Game / Dev related stuff:

- The Bailey scene that was missing from the update is finished but the 2nd scene in the pool hasn't been finished quite yet. (It's a hard scene to make and render but I've been working on it off and on and it'll be done soon)

- I've been running all 3 of my PCs for the first time in a long time. Finally got the 3rd fixed and the current set up is that the main machine works on the new content, 2nd works on the week 1 redo, and the 3rd is solely for animations and/or variant renders. (such as female/trans renders)

- Monthly render set dropping on the 29th (This set is a bit strange but that's how I like to make them sometimes, it'll also be in 4K)

- Alanah polls return on Monday / Tuesday (Not sure which day I want to pick for them yet, they might be an either/or kind of thing.)

- Birthday renders will start in August. (Bday renders are just singular 4K more pin-up style renders of characters on their birthdays.) (I may include Stacy's )
(Renders are usually not directly birthday related because thinking about it... that would get old fast)

Renders made this prior week:

New - 95 renders and 2 animations
Week 1 redo - 88 renders and 1 animation

Like I said last week, I've changed the split in work to closer to 50/50.
183 renders total in a week, my goal is 20 a day and I averaged 26 so I'm feeling decent with that but there's always room to work more efficiently.

Personal related stuff:

- Life has actually been calm recently. Things were so hectic for a while that I forgot what it was like to just relax and get shit done. It feels good to be back to the usual.

- I think I've mentioned it but I've started having a sort of planned out "work week". Meaning I have a schedule I abide by. I won't speak in specifics because I think it's strange if everyone knows what I'm doing at a certain time of day. But it essentially boils down to 10-12 hours of work a day, with 1 hour dedicated to the parts that I let slide sometimes like editing photos and getting things that are finished compiled together. And then I spend the rest of my day with the wifey and gramps or spend it playing games with friends or something fun. I also have been taking 1 day off every week but I think going forward that will be a more "if I need it" sort of thing than something that I plan out.


I believe that's all I have to share for now. 😁
Once again sorry for the disappearing act. I get this way sometimes and there's no real rhyme or reason but we'll be back on the usual content stream from here on.

And as always thank you all so much for supporting me through this. Started this off as a complete amateur and you all have been here helping me progress through it all. We've come a long way and we're going to keep improving.
Thank you all so much for everything,

Love you guys <3
