Dev Diary, June 17th, 2022
🕑 Added 2022-06-17 12:03:00 +0000 UTCI've been closing up Holly's part of the game this week. It's a bit odd making some of these renders, as I suspect it's renders almost nobody will see unless they try to find these specific endings. But at least it's done, and if just one person playing the game has this as the main route, it's all worth it.
Current numbers are at 1,349 story renders, and 18,116 frames of animation.
While working with Holly, I accidentally discovered a continuity error that should have been addressed in chapter 7, namely dealing with the Holly situation if you set Chris up with her. But I can fix it for this chapter. Next week I'll be going through everything rendered so far and look for more of these mishaps and add small scenes where I feel they are needed while preparing for the main event.
Knowing we're at roughly the half-year mark since the last chapter was released is not a fun feeling. But I knew this would be a huge chapter, and with the addition of the Steam release, DMCA issue, and music removal - it all adds to that.
But know that I will take my time with the main event which is right around the corner. It's something I've been looking forward to doing since I first spoke to Wibble and Puggy about my idea back in October and with the following months of seeing Wibble make the actual asset. I'm also grateful that Wibble has been holding back on the Daz store release of this asset so I could get a world-first for Leap of Faith.
There comes a time in making every chapter where I finally start spotting the light at the end of the tunnel, and I'm at that point now. The music is still very much a big problem, but hopefully, I can spring a surprise in one of the next dev updates.
PS! Top tier holders, just a friendly reminder - I have to have your custom render idea by the second Friday of each month, or you forfeit the custom. If you forgot this month, send it to me by the end of the day.
Have a nice weekend all, and stay safe out there.

I am definitely not the type of player that needs to see "everything", I tend to pick a path and stick with it - but I am definitely a Holly fan! These renders will not have been done in vain...

Just verifying -- the path for Chris set up with Holly where MC picked Linda is not fixed in 0.7.1c?

"It's a bit odd making some of these renders, as I suspect it's renders almost nobody will see unless they try to find these specific endings." You underestimate the number of Holly fans and also the curiosity of your users to see "everything". ;)

I'm still excited for the final chapter, patiently waiting because I can only imagine the work
Actually, no I don't but i'll try and find you one. A friend on discord gave it to me and I THINK, he got the pdf off of f95zone but I wouldn't swear to it.

I hope to God it will be out next month

you have a link for that? Can't seem to find it.

Cece's got my heart, but I can say for sure I am going to be doing every single route and combing through this game to experience every single part of it.
Google the Azzarius walkthrough. It is up to date to chapter 7 and details every girl's perfect path choices.

I've done ALMOST all the paths, although I'm just learning in this post about "perfect" paths (I thought my Linda journey was pretty good, but ...) Still, I've had a soft spot for Holly since the beginning, and her disappearance at the end of C.7 has felt weird all along. I feel better knowing it wasn't completely intentional.

Don't fret, there are plenty of Holly fan's to see it, even after the fact. :)

I am acually quite fond of her as a character.

Drifty, if you make some kind of runbook with all the possible endings, i promise to play them all, love your game! <3

Thanks for the update Drifty! I purposely have two different saves because of the Holly arc. Have yet to start a third for setting her up with Chris. Hope you have a great weekend, you rock!
