UPDATE: Despite Pain… Progress. – February 28, 2021
🕑 Added 2021-02-28 16:19:03 +0000 UTCFirst, I’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who has posted, DMed or sent me messages words of comfort about Diane and her passing. I am glad that I was able to share a little about someone that meant so much to me… and someone that was able to tolerate me (and my crazy ideas) as much as she did.
One such example, was just after my first back surgery in the early 2000’s… knowing that I’d be kept for some time after the surgery, the wife and I asked to get something that would help me during my stay at the hospital to try and prevent cigarette cravings (I had smoked for nearly 40 years and have since quit now), so they prescribed me to have Xanax after my surgery to help keep me calm and try to take the edge on my cravings.
That was a bad idea!
The Xanax did NOT keep me calm… in fact, during the night I slipped into blacked out state and had military flashbacks!!
Now, mind you, what I am about to tell you, I only learned AFTER the event from my wife and Diane, but apparently, I got up and began pacing the hospital hallways looking for an escape.
It would seem I was under the belief that I was being held against my will in a military VA hospital and that I had to do whatever I could to escape from the hellhole that they were keeping me in.
Somehow, I had managed to get a cellphone and called Diane at 3:30 in the morning, waking her up and telling her that my wife was conspiring with the military staff and nurses to have me committed and that I needed her to come to the hospital while I searched for a way to breach security and have her waiting for me with, engine running, so I could escape.
Doped up and worried about reopening my sutures, Diane was able to calm me down enough over the phone, while the wife and orderlies were able to fight me off and knock me out with drugs and the wife was able to explain to, a now very worried Diane, what had happened.
So, now there is a really BIG red flag in my medical history that labels that I am allergic to Xanax and to NOT GIVE IT TO ME!
Heh… so, yeah, Diane (like my wife, doctors and nurses) had to put up with a lot from me… I wish you all could’ve met her, she was truly an exceptional person who had an ability to calm people down, make people feel loved and welcomed, as well as, never judge them for their kinks.
This world lost a really, really special person.
So, thank you for the comfort and words of support, it is truly appreciated!
With that said, let’s talk about the GAME for a bit and let me fill you in on what I was able to do while through the physical and emotional beating that I took the past couple of weeks…
…knowing that I was in NO FRAME of mind to be writing, let alone writing sex scenes, I chose to focus on website creation and SPRITE work… and realized, I had TOTALLY SCREWED UP!!
Since I had the Sprites for "Chapter Two" completed, I decided to set up and start creating the Sprites that would be needed for the character in “Chapter Three” and during that, I came across the mistake I made… so, allow me to explain, using characters for examples that you all can identify with: Claire and the MC/Antichrist.
In this first example, it displays Claire’s Sprite in the size and format that we’ve been using for all of our sprites up to now… looks good, doesn’t it? Not just seeing Claire but the ratio looks pretty good!
So, let’s now render out and add the Antichrist’s Sprite into the scene…
And this is where we run into a problem, as you can see… using the same camera setting for DoF (Depth of Field) and because the male stature is a little larger, the male’s poses don’t entirely fit in the render window, thus cutting off his hands and other areas of his body (if nude) … nor does it really allow a lot of room for a second character added into the scene, so... let's resize him so that he can fit fully on the screen for all of you...
There we go, so, in this example, I altered the camera’s DoF to account for the character’s stature and pose and as you can see, his fingers are no longer cut off from the scene, nor does he take up as much real estate in the scene… but now this presented a NEW problem which you will soon see…
In this side-by-side example Claire, you can see that both characters can now fit into the scene, but now Claire is LARGER than the MC… and looks really BAD while next to him…
…which now means, that Claire has to be resized as well to the same camera angle and DoF as the MC (and other males) will be…
Which now you can see has been done in this example, which I find to be a better size and option for the Sprites… imagine for a moment if Claire’s smooth, supple legs was tenderly wrapped in stockings, you’d be able to see that, whereas in the previous DoF of her character, you wouldn’t…
Additionally, in this example, using the YTRANS of the character’s Sprite, we can move the character down some to simulate and show a height difference against any other character on the screen!
Although, now this left us with a NEW problem…
…all of the previous, thousands of Character Sprite renders of characters that have already been done, would now need to be REDONE to the new camera’s DoF!
Don’t worry, though, we talked it over and are going to leave the Character Sprites that have been done for “Chapter Two” alone and use them as is, since there isn’t Male Sprites used in it… and will return to redoing those Sprites later when we have more time and the need for those Sprites arise again in the storyline.
So, with that said, you’ll notice a change in “Chapter Three” when it comes to Sprite sizes and have been going through and setting up the characters and poses for the 10,800 Character Sprites that I will have to render for that chapter… yeah, you read that right… it’s a lot, but… once done… will never every have to be done again for that character in that outfit (or nude).
Those are all nearly dressed, posed and ready for rendering, which I spent my time doing, when not drugged up or weeping like a little baby.
Also, we are getting closer to having our ASLPro3D company/game website being done, which will feature character and game information, as well as, information about our team, our goals for the future and the titles you can expect from as… additionally, more information the Steam Release version of “Wicked Choices: Book One” for players (which Epadder, Sierra3 and the Wife have been working on) and don’t worry, those who’ve supported us here on Patreon will get their copy for free from us when it is completed!
So, that is where things stand right now… starting tomorrow, I will get back to grinding on “Chapter Two” to finish it for all of you and want to try and have that in your hands by the end of this coming month or start of April at the latest.
Thank you AGAIN for the outpouring of love, comfort and support you’ve shown me, I TRULY appreciate it! We’ll talk again real soon and hope that you all have a good week!
~Jack
(ps... I truly hope that this and my examples also can help out other creators from making the same mistakes that I have made and save them a LOT of time and HEADACHES!)
