Last Human: Episode 6 (Devlog 3) Plus 'Camilla' Teaser

Hey everyone!

I was going to post a devlog on Friday, but got sidetracked then pretty much decided to take it easy over the holiday weekend. Episode 6 renders are just about 25% done (not counting animations). Not much else to report about that right now. But I am also deciding on which of our lovely girls will be the subject in my next special render set. Someone who is a huge Rin fan asked if I would do her next. Might go that route. Feel free to comment on that. I'll try to have the new set ready by next weekend.

The attached video was part of the Camilla set (set 1) that was recently released to patrons. I try to take a day (sometimes 2) each week to make a little progress on that game. I have a lot of the first episode completed already (coded, not rendered - although I've done some of the rendering also). It's quite possible I could have something to release maybe around Christmas - no promises! Main focus is always on the current projects - Last Human and Serenity C2.

Camilla will have between 4 and 6 episodes. I'm not sure yet. It took me quite a while to decide how the ending would go since we already know where she ends up later (in Serenity). I've been taking my time writing it. I want to focus everything on getting to know characters a lot more - something I still need to improve on. I also want to have drama that isn't so quickly resolved, yet keep it entertaining and not long winded (TL;DR). I have played VN's where there are really long reading parts with no reward and I want to avoid that. It's a delicate balance that I'm hoping to nail with Camilla. With what I have so far, I feel like it could be some of my best work, but we'll see I guess.

The video isn't anything huge, just a part of the story where she is first discovering her abilities. The house she lives in with her father is just outside of a small town where she goes to college, and also where she meets the MC of this story. There will be a couple of other girls involved in the story, but nothing like my other games (not nearly as many of them). Fewer girls means it will be a lot easier to really get to know each one. Unlike Serenity (or even LH for that matter), they won't be just jumping in the sack with you. I went back and forth for quite a while on making this a choice-based, multiple endings game or stick with my kinetic form. I decided to keep it kinetic, but it will have choices that affect what situations you experience at certain points. If you don't like a certain girl so much, you can 'let her down easy' - that sort of thing. Yes, keeping it harem; it's what my audience has come to expect from me... no sense changing that. But, Camilla is the main focus of course.

Well, that should give you all a basic idea of where things are with Camilla currently and how that is going to work. I had originally said I wouldn't release it in parts (episodes). My intention was to get the entire game completed, then release it. I decided against doing that. And if I can make it happen, I'd like to get something out there by or around Christmas this year. As for Last Human: Episode 6, I'm on that full time at the moment so hang in there.

Love you all, ...Fire
