Progress Report - Various (Patreon)

Ohhhhhh shitttt! I just realized I haven't updated you guys in a full week! I'm so sorry about that! I've been trying to be good about doing progress reports every few days, but I kinda suck at it. I'm actually considering putting daily updates on twitter, just to keep the progress reports simpler, but I haven't decided yet. I actually set one a twitter account of that reason some time ago and just...haven't used it. We'll see. Currently, I'm pouring all my time into trying to get everything done. Anyway! Status Reports Away!

Haven's Port:

This is a good news/bad news sort of thing. The good news is that I've finished 47 renders so far (with the 48th running right now). For reference, these larger updates should run between 80-100 renders. So, I'm actually pretty far along as far as total render count goes.

The bad news is that those 47 renders account for just 7 sex scenes! Yikes. Partially, this is all the establishing shot renders I've had to do (another of which can be seen above, showing the Public Baths which are part of the Brothel's Services (yes, it makes sense, I promise). However, the other half is the fact that several of the scenes so far have run longer than the usual 3-4 renders I usually aim each scene to contain. One of them actually needed 8 total renders, which might actually be the current record. Not sure.

Regardless, with the end of the month rapidly rushing towards us, I honestly don't know how many scenes are going to make it in. I fully expect the number of RENDERS to hit or exceed the target, but the number of scenes might come up short. Originally I was shooting for 20, but...it might end up being more like 17? We'll see. I'll try to keep you all posted. Either way, I think it will be a good update, just maybe not quite as many scenes as I could have hoped for.

Starworld Comic (Part 2)

Ugh. I had hoped to have released this by now. The renders should have been finished by the 18th. Unfortunately, the last several renders (one of them being the teaser render attached to this post), have run horribly long. As in, one of them took almost 18 hours all by itself. That is, I'm pretty sure, the single longest render time, I've ever had for any render. And the worst part is that I can't figure out why it's being a complete tool about those renders, either. It just...suddenly starting having issues rendering the MC's hair. The same hair that I've used in every other Starworld Render. What the actual fuck!

Regardless, I now have just 2 renders left. One of which is running right now. I'm hoping to finish them up today (if it stops fighting me), though I'll still need to do all the typesetting and writing after that -_-.

Short Story

Mostly good news on this one. While it's still going a bit slower than I'd like, I currently have around 4,000 words done for Mass Effect: Final Error. And I'm planning to spend another hour or two on it tonight, hopefully bringing that up to around 6,000 of the 10,000 word target. Hopefully, I can wrap it up within another 2-3 days, so I can shift the writing time to first Starworld, then to Haven Port's actual writing bits.

Wallpapers

Don't even joke T-T. I haven't been able to spare the render-time to even START the rendering process for these. I have no clue when or how I'm going to get them done. Grr.
