Chapter 4 - Dev Log #8
🕑 Added 2022-02-01 17:36:07 +0000 UTCHello,
Today, It's gonna be a rather short Dev Log.
Good progress has been made in the last couple of days. I had some small natural lows here and there but that's just because of the lack of real-life social interactions.
Germany's increasing its regulations over the past few weeks. I now also count as not vaccinated again.
And while Germany already had the highest energy prices in the world. They now got increased again (With 2022).
I now have to pay 325β¬ a month. Which is around 365$. Just insane.
But thanks to you supporters it's nothing to worry about.
Alright, time for some visual stimulation.
One thing I can say about the DnD session that really eats a lot of time is the environment.
When I'm done with the Tabletop session, I will have built more environments than all the Chapters have combined.
And the good news. They will only be used once. (;
It'll be worth it, though.


Same as in the last Logs, I'm super limited by what I can show.

"Yearning for you."

4k Res attached for download.
I've come up with a really crazy idea about my lighting. I have to test some theories and see how Daz responds to them.
I tried updating to Daz 4.16 Beta but fuck that. It doesn't support a lot of things I need and I don't need to make my life harder.
The render count is somewhere above 1150 or so. (Not including animations obv.)
I'll see you in two weeks and I think I will be able to talk a little about a % then. The update is getting closer to the finish line.

mazing shots as always dude.. you seem to step it up with every preview.. dont worry about showing too much im sure many here would sooner just see a character render pose (think movie promo stills) of the cast than have you feel like spoiling anything after all the hard work.. Dunno if you ever read the manga or seen the anime but i get such fond GANTZ vibes from the desktop game stuff and i LOVE that.. if this is the only time we ever see it then i hope sometime in the far future you consider doing something in this theme too as a spin off show.. and yes i say show as all yours feel like a much loved serial (limited series) tv show.. just with longer production times which is fine by me

mc can choose who to romance?

Based on that preview could we be getting some street racing action soon?

I really like the Bella preview and I Love the yellow flower she is holding. Someone is quietly missing her guy and I'm hoping that she and the MC both start to take action on how they feel about each other and actively enjoying each other's company.

Thanks for the update! I am glad you are doing fine, all things considered. These renders look stunning.

I'm pretty sure there's some unintentional XCom influence in there. Xcom2 is a game I really liked.

Thank you again for all your hard work. You are a true artist and it shows in your renders, camera and lighting. I'm proud to support you the best I can.

The visuals are coming out really well. Can't wait to see the finished chapter. I'm sure the environments could have some use even if it's not on this project. Looks great.

DnD sesh gives me XCom vibes. Idk if you already said what it would be about but it really sounds intriguing so far.
