Progress Report : Private Community 0.1.4

Added 2019-06-18 17:31:12 +0000 UTC

Hi all,

I've been putting off this progress report for several days now due to being disappointed by the amount of content that I've actually been able to get rendered for the next release.

My original plan to implement / what's actually rendered to implement :

Belle's content for this update (90%) Rendered.
Date Event [Set up scenes 100%] (Rendered 100%)
Level 1 Afternoon Dialog tree + Events [Set up scenes 100%] (Rendered 100%)
Level 1 Evening Dialog tree + Events [Set up scenes 100%] (Rendered 100%)
Level 1 Night Event [Set up scenes 100%] (Rendered 100%)
Level 1 Bedroom Spy Cam [Set up scenes 100%] (Rendered 50%)

Maid's content for this update (0%) Rendered.
Level 1 Morning Dialog tree + events [Set up Scenes 100%] (Rendered 0%)
Level 1 Afternoon Dialog tree + Events [Set up scenes 100%] (Rendered 0%)

Conclusion :

Creating Content for this game is painfully slow...

As you can see above, I've managed to set-up all of the scenes "images" needed for the events along with writing the dialog for each of them.

But even with my system running almost 24/7 I'm being held back "bottle-necked" by the rendering times of the images.

Yes, the new card I got to help with the rendering times has made a massive difference from what It once was :
[Going from 20-30 images an update] -> [100-200 Images an update]

But even at this rate, it's still way too slow and not allowing me to get done what I actually want to get done for each update.

Due to this I would like to apologies yet again to each and everyone of you :

Please know that It kills me that I can't produce content any faster for this game...

I've always prided myself on implementing a bunch of new content into each update as I feel it's what you all deserve for your continued love and support of these projects.

But with this game...
I just can't seem to hit the exceptions I set myself when it comes to the new content....
So please, know that I am truly sorry for the very slow development on this project.

On a slightly brighter note though, after taking out expenses etc I have managed to save over 50% of what is needed for another (RTX 2080ti) to help shorten these crippling rendering times.

If things keep steady the way they have been and no unexpected expenses pop up I do hope to be able to buy the new card in the next 2 months.

This will hopefully double the amount of content I'm able to produce for this game.

Release Dates are still the same :
