Hello again, friends!
It’s been quite a while since the last report, hasn’t it?
As I mentioned before, I was on vacation, far away from my PC. In fact, I was in the kind of place where you could drive through the mountains for an hour and have neither mobile reception nor GPS.
We stopped at some beautiful spots near waterfalls and jumped off cliffs into cold mountain rivers. And for miles around, there wasn’t a single guy blowing his stupid whistle to tell us we weren’t allowed to do that. Even better, for miles around, there wasn’t a single guy trying to sell me a hot dog or a pizza.
It was truly a vacation for the soul. And, by the way, if I hadn’t gotten myself back in shape a couple of months ago, there’s no way in hell I would’ve climbed those cliffs to jump into the water. Everything in general would have been much harder, too.
But I think you’re probably more interested in where development of The Better Deal stands right now.
Before that, though, please go to GOG.com and vote for both of my games. This is very important to me, and it won’t take much of your time.
Thank you!
Previously, I finished the final narrative event in Sunny’s route. Now I’ve started working on the final steamy scene, without which the happy ending wouldn’t really feel like a true happy ending. I’ve finished it for three states:
vanilla relationship, Riley is a virgin;
vanilla relationship, Riley is not a virgin;
lezdom relationship, Riley is not a virgin.
I also split the last ending option into three additional sub-options. I think it should be interesting to explore all of them.
Right now, I’m working on the final ending option: lezdom relationship, Riley is a virgin. After that, there will be a short epilogue, and then I’ll move on to the final steamy scenes with Jack.
Unfortunately, the final location where Sunny’s scene takes place has rather complex lighting. I decided not to change it for the animations. This way, the animations blend into the game more smoothly, with no visible lighting difference compared to the static scenes. The price for that, however, is longer rendering time.
Saturday was my family day, when I don’t work on the game, and Sunday was Father’s Day. So I allowed myself two days off in a row. I hope you won’t throw rotten tomatoes at me for that. Still, both of my PCs kept working, and as of today, I still have 108 items in the rendering queue, a good number of which are animations. That means I still haven’t reached the rendering stage for the final option yet – lezdom relationship, Riley is not a virgin. So those won’t be included in today’s teasers.
That’s all for now, friends. Most of the summer is still ahead of us, and I hope all of you get a chance to enjoy a good rest.
