Monthly update: A happy cat edition
Added 2019-03-30 21:36:12 +0000 UTCFinally! All content for 0.3 is finally ready! I originally planned the release at the end of this month but I'll use a few more days to re-render some of the graphics, check the script and finalize the new visual shader system. It shouldn't take much more than a week or so as this remaining stuff is "nice to have" but not critical. Still, as I previously mentioned I planned to release 0.3 this month but as that didn't happen I'll be skipping this month's Patron payments once again. Trying to stick to deadlines to is kind of a personal carrot-and-stick challenge to me. And as you know I'm really good at creating deadlines - actually completing them is entirely different matter.
Once the 0.3 release is out, there is more stuff incoming:
* Poll deciding which girl will have their route done next. The choices will be Alice, Kate or Helen.
* Animations with Blender 2.8. The newest Blender is still in beta, but it's generally in good enough shape so that I can start moving my existing content (models, textures, materials, etc.) to it. I have written a large amount of Python code for automagically managing much of that content and I'll have to port all that code to Blender 2.8. Hard to say how big of a task this will be, I'll know more when I'll start doing it. If this goes well it can significantly increase how fast I can render visual content.
* Possibly a bit more interactive 2D-character dolls and CG-images (expressions, limb and eye movements, etc.) by improving the new shader rendering system. This is something I have been tinkering with for my own amusement, so low priority.

Not a bad idea, I'll add Jane to the next poll and we'll see if people are interested.

2019-04-22 09:20:33 +0000 UTCI'd like to suggest adding Jane to the poll for the next girl's route, or possibly holding a poll on whether or not patrons would like a full route for Jane incorporated into the game. As I wrote on another site about Offcuts: ---- Jane is an interesting archetype, and one which I think deserves elaboration and exploration. If not on her own route, then as a contrasting stepping stone on another girl's -- old friendships and behaviours versus new. Or the loud, brash, gregarious lover offering adventure versus the quiet, introspective friend offering love. I think it'd be amusing Jane deciding to seduce us to take our virginity, only to learn afterwards, nope, already gone. So, fine, then first anal -- but nope, Kate got there first. And then she goes on this big list of sex acts, trying to find something she'd be our first at: blow job? Nope. Boob job? Nope. Foot job? Nope. And then, her frustration mounting, we finally admit that, yes, we've actually lying and at least one of those was our first but, hey, wasn't tonight a hell of a lot of fun and please don't kill us? Cue laughter all around. Anyway, while, sure, I'd like to get into Jane's pants, it's actually thinking of the journeys the author put Nina and Melissa on that makes me eager to discover more about Jane as a character, and not just a cutely rendered 3D model. ;-) I like the idea of pursuing the older girl who once just thought of us as a kid brother or something, and who we once looked on as impossibly wise and forever unreachable. Maybe she was a babysitter, maybe she was a volunteer at a club, maybe she shielded us from bully or teacher or other adult, but somehow she earned our undying adoration. Maybe hers were the first breasts we saw in the flesh and were the center of our fantasies, and even after we got our first girlfriend and her memory fades, they were still the breasts we automatically compare every other pair against. Maybe it ends well and we gain her true respect and regard as an equal. And maybe it doesn't, and we're just a fun "diversion" with a cute kid who never matured in her eyes and we become just a notch on her belt, the knowledge of the difference between how much we regarded her and how little she regarded us stinging forever more. ---- I very much liked your treatment of Melissa and Nina as characters, and given Jane's character and background, I think you could do justice to her story as well.
