Chapter 4 - Dev Log #7
🕑 Added 2022-01-18 19:06:40 +0000 UTCHello,
Time's flying.
So, welcome to the 7th Dev Log of Chapter 4.
In the last Log, I mentioned I started working on a big limiter in my productivity and oh boy, it's already paying off big time but I need to make sure to burn this habit into my brain.
Next month I will give some actual numbers to demonstrate the improvement.
I will not mention the exact "limiter" because it's personal.
Anyways, big steps are being made and I also acquired something new that will increase the quality of certain types of animations a lot. (And also speed up the process in making them.)
I'll tell you guys about it when I have an example to show.
Anyways, I've got only Tabletop (TBT) previews today with one exception.
I just can't preview any of the new renders I currently have of the real timeline.

I'm currently working on my cinematic abilities, trying to improve my "eye" for it and also throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks.

One thing I know for now is that this will probably be the last TBT session in Daz.
I've got so many amazing ideas but I'm limited by either Daz or my skills. (I still lack advanced knowledge in After Effects, etc.)
I'll try my best to deliver, though.

And one little last preview
"Thinking about me?"

That's it for today.
All images can be downloaded in high res below.
Take care!

your game is quite a bit different from that one i was worried at first because the first two chapters were so short but i get that its easier to start small when taking on something new. your quality is pretty damn amazing and the story is good, just did the first run. i hope you can keep it coming.

Ocean, I may never finish the story and AVN I'm working on because I'm running solo and I'm getting up in age. The reason I say this is simple. You inspired me to take the simple story I was writing without images and put it into this format. As stated above, if not the best, one of the best storytellers and creators around. I already feel Summer's Gone is the benchmark for story-driven AVNs. Nothing I've seen surpasses the emotion I feel as I go through the game. There are great games out there, for sure, but this is the "babe in the woods waiting to spread its wings", pun intended.
Maybe i'm too into SG since I heard "Slow Down Summer" by thomas rhett and i thought of MCs summer lol
Crowangel Gaming
as ever i just have to say.. truly EPIC and clearly the reason MANY consider you the TOP of the avn creators

Many thanks for the update. I am looking forward to the next update. If you want to improve your animation skills, you might have a look into this book "The Illusion of Life, by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston" which is, as far as I know, /the/ classic on this matter, which was referenced in an article I read some time ago about the animators at Pixar.

Keep up the good work! I am so excited seeing all of your hard work paying off when the update finally releases. Wish you good health and good luck! <3
Amazing work, thank you Ocean. Can't wait for the next chapter :D

I can't wait to see how it turns out. There's something about this story that grabs my soul. I'm just anticipating the breaking point for the MC's behavior and it's connection with Bella. You do phenomenal work.
