Progress Update - week 8 - 24'
🕑 Added 2024-02-24 12:47:40 +0000 UTCHey guys!
I hope you had a great last week! Mine was quite hard.
As some of you might already know, because I was saying that in discord (posting how much I'm dying), I fell sick on Tuesday. First it looked like just a cold, but it totally destroyed me for a few days. Finally yesterday I felt better and could work normally. Today is completely fine, just remains of the sickness, light coughing and sneezing.
For this next update I'm working on 2 main events. The 1st one is Ame's exhibitionism in a cafe, she learned a few tricks from a certain someone, just to please Sergil, but clients get to have a good look too, wink. 2nd one is Emilia's new worker getting to know Cynthia. I'm focusing on these events, because I lost a few days to being sick and wasn't able to code the boss properly (Victoria and Roomba).
I would LOVE to have an update ready for tomorrow, but taking into account how many graphics I still have to make, I doubt that, so let's say the start of this week is more likely. Either way, the moment I will finish up and un-bug the biggest bugs (mostly crashes) I will release it!
Also, It was quite some time since I made a progress update, as in my opinion Friday posts clearly showed what I was working on currently, but I would like to return to posting those. Do you read and like progress updates I post or do you just look at previews and are happy with those?
I was also looking into android/iOS builds. I need to figure out a lot of things before the builds will be even close to ready, but I got contacted by creators of an alternate shop to the official Apple shop, in which H-devs will be able to post their games and this might be an interesting venture.
Some of you might remember from my previous posts (or my boasting on discord) that for my next game I would love to learn Unreal Engine and make my own models from scratch. So regarding me learning Unreal Engine and Blender: There is A LOT to learn my guys. It's so much that at a certain moment I got overwhelmed. So to not get into that position again and panic of how much things there are to learn I started a priority list. I do recommend it to anyone that is struggling to learn new things. It's quite obvious if you think about it. So, my current priority is to learn the very basics of blender (again), then character creation from nothing, then rigging them and finally props/clothes creation, so even if I won't be able to learn Unreal in the time I will want to use it, blender will be amazing tool to help me out within current program I'm using, basically being able to create anything I want.
After that point I'll try to learn correctly moving models to Unreal (worst case scenario, if that won't work, as I had previously problems with it, I might consider using Unity or Godot) and making animations in that engine. Only after that point, when I'm certain in my abilities to create models and make them do nsfw things in engine, I'll return to learning coding.
So the road ahead of me is bumpy as hell, especially if I juggle SCC development, blender learning (1 day a week) family and gym (I have back pains from sitting too much so gym helps a lot), but nothing I can't handle!
This month I turned 34 years old and I have to say, the last 3-4 years were the best years of my life and all of that is thanks to YOU. If it wasn't for your support, generosity and interest in the game, I would be still stuck in some corporate job that I hated. And now we have a whole community, other developers contacting me for some cross promotions so we can help each other, but most importantly, you enjoying and playing the game that I wanted to create. You are the ones messaging me, telling me how much you like the game or how much the game helped you. I never imagined that could be seriously possible in my life.
I know from time to time I repeat myself, especially with 'thank you's', but I'm really grateful to all of you. Thank you! I'll do my best to provide you with the best experiences I can create! And mostly nsfw of course!
Damn, I didn't even notice when I wrote so much.
Have a great weekend. Relax a bit, while I'll be working on an update.
Alex ❤️

Hey Alex! I kinda enjoy you the betters! Hope you learn what you need to learn and I know that "our" fans are here supporting. It's really good to know that you are enjoying doing this like we are enjoying playing with you. Can't wait to see what is going to happen, but you health is always the most important, so be really well, take care of you...you do updates all weeks (that's hard to do, so we can wait too for what's matters (your health)) :D I love to see what you write, I probably only come to patreon to see your "posts" so I read everything, I would like to see it happen in future (makes the update more "desire"). Be well, have a nice day! And Thank you for being the mind of this project!

First of all I hope you finish recovering well. Regarding the progress updates, I tend to read them all as I really enjoy reading about the work you do and how the project is moving forward. I also really like the previews as they make me look forward to future updates.
