Chasing Sunsets Ch9 Dev Update - On Target

February's been a challenging month, both from the development perspective and with real life doing its best to sap development hours from Kentyrr and I.   Without going into detail, a combination of vehicle woes, health issues, and the utter hell I put Kentyrr through in my art demands have tested our limits.

In one case, an entire scene had to be redone when we both saw flaws in an asset that could not be mitigated.

While this may sound like bad news, we've managed to stay on track in spite of all that, and none of the setbacks were so major that they forced us completely back to the drawing board.

What sets Chapter 9 apart a bit is that so much of it is outdoors, and that's created some new composition challenges for us while it tends to shorten actual render times.

When she left Tonalu, Mallory alluded to missing the spontaneity that marked her first day with MC in Aspen, and hoped to recapture that with him upon returning to the States, and it's fair to say that this girl is a planner!

Jaye is faced with being dropped from The Havard School of Medicine, and is also at something of a crossroads.  After the mind blowing (and genital-chafing) night at the oceanside bungalow, you can bet she's looking to see if lightning can strike twice.

While the story has drifted between inheritance games, cyclones, laboratory breakthroughs, and lawsuits, Chapter 9 reigns in the distractions and focuses on a guy trying to make sense of his new life and how it moves forward with the two women who routinely crash through it. 

Recovered from his injuries, and with a new insight into where he belongs, he is primed to become more assertive in getting what he wants.  

And he's not the only one.

From a progress perspective, we've only added about 200 images since our update at the end of January, but they have been particularly challenging ones.  We begin on lewd scenes next, and those actually tend to build the render count pretty quickly because characters tend to stay in a fairly confined space.

Please be patient as Kent and I weave this second-to-last chapter into a sum that is hopefully greater than its parts.

More to come soon!
