Another week where I've been working on the big free-roam. The most exciting news this week was my neighbor building a house and unintentionally cutting the power for everyone in the street.
While he was nice enough to apologize and buy flowers for pretty much everybody, it did cause a slight delay.
Numbers are at about 776 story renders plus about 100 I don't count due to them being used as sprites, background movement, and similar. Animations took a backseat for this week too, but I really want to start working on the Ren'Py part and will probably set up quite a few animations so that they can render while I do scripting and dialogue.

The blonde in the image above this is delightfully crazy. But then again, you know what they say about crazy.
Wibble does it again
For you who dabble around in Daz Studio, Wibble's (world-famous architect) car, Zirael Flyte, is now available in the Daz Store. You might recognize the lady too.
Steam Award Nomination (story) for Leap of Faith
If you own Leap of Faith on Steam, you might see a Steam Award Nomination post for the game in your library in the next few days. If you liked the game, I hope you consider giving it your vote. I know I'm just a micro developer compared to the big companies, and I know I won't win anything, but it would be nice to put AVNs on the map and show they can actually contain more than just animated genitals, landladies, and roommates.
Hardware (again)
I spent a few hours this morning disassembling my main computer, re-arranging the cables and connectors in the hope I could get the second 4090 fitted. And even though my 4090s are 3-slot cards, the same as my motherboard, they simply won't fit. So now that's tried and tested fully, I'll accept defeat and won't be fiddling around with it anymore.
On the positive side, the new Nvidia driver which was released yesterday now works 100% with the 4090, and I could once again use Dforce when setting up the scenes. Couldn't be happier about it.
With that settled, I go into the weekend with a huge smile on my face, and I certainly hope you do too. Stay safe out there.
