Last Human Ep.2 Devlog 13 (Patrons) (Patreon)
Content
Happy Friday everyone!
This week's devlog is a special one just for patrons. Check out the preview images and read on (there may be spoilers ahead, but I'll try to keep them small). You'll see a lot of Alexis in those screens, which shouldn't be a surprise to you considering this episode is mostly focused on her.
Alright, first let's get the big question out of the way... when is it coming? I realize having to wait so long between episodes really SUCKS. I hate it when I have to wait for updates to my favorite AVNs also! Unfortunately, that's just how things are with developing. Hopefully your patience will be served well by the work I've put into this episode and the way this story is going to unfold going forward. I really pushed hard to try and give you a great, engaging story, sexy Nekos, and beautiful scenes. There are a LOT of practically 'made from scratch' scenes I've built here. Or, what I like to call 'sets'. A lot more animations (not just sex animations). I used animations where I thought they would be cool and would fit the scenario. But anyway, the release... I have literally 2 scenes left to render out. Well, 2 and a half since there is a short one in between those. I knocked out a LOT of graphics this week, leaving myself a good chance to finish the rest over this weekend. The final scene might be the toughest one; I do have some custom set work to do for it which takes the longest. So here's what I can say for sure: I am very confident I can release this within one week (by next weekend). Depends on how picky I get with the music, haha! Depending on how much I can get done this weekend, it could even be earlier.
With that out of the way, let's talk about custom renders. They're coming! I've just been more focused on getting this episode completed. But once that is out of the way and I take some time off between this update, and work on the next Serenity episode, I'll be pounding out some new special patron-only CG's. In fact, after this release, I'll be putting up a poll soon to vote on a character (or characterS) to focus on.
There are a few aesthetic changes from episode 1 to episode 2 I wanted to make known. First, the Acladeans. In episode 1, the Aurora was fired on by Acladean rebels, and Aury answered by destroying them using Aurora's deck lasers. In the scene where they try talking to the rebels (on screen), the models I used for them weren't really what I wanted. But I used them to get the scene done. Eventually, I'll go back and redo those with the new models I've created myself that look much more the way I wanted. The other change is planets. Since I began LH, I had been buying and importing assets I could use. But never could find planets that actually look like planets. Late in episode 2 development (literally last week), I managed to get the ones I really wanted. They look a lot more realistic, even have atmospheres that are animated (which doesn't matter for static images, but still they look WAY better!). Anyway, instead of going and redoing all of those images now (and pushing back this release even longer), I'll address those changes during the episode 3 development.
That's all for now. Time to get back to work for you guys. I'll post again soon, hopefully with the finalized release schedule!
Love you all, ...Fire
