Changelog time!

 

Changelog 0.36.0

• Day 36 implemented.
• 405 Renders
• Grammar, spelling, and other fixes (Thanks to Adry Lemon, Shaddy, Orion777, Bread)

Release schedule:

So still in the holiday spirit and avoiding the potential issues with the year changing the release schedule is as follows:

• Patrons: When it has been uploaded.
• Public: 6th of January 2022

For 0.37.0 we will resume the normal release schedule. Also there are piles of grammar fixes and things in the queue. So if you reported some and it isn't in here it will come. Just been a bit swamped with things.

Progress 27.12.2021

So vacation time is over, more or less and there is stuff that has been made.

 

The epilogue is done, and it's a long one. And I'm going to be honest, I'm 100% certain that I forgot some combination or other, but that's why I have you guys. You will let me know if I missed something. Then I can fix it or something like that.

 

And rendering of day 36, I'm 300ish renders in, and I have about one scene left to do right now. I say about because there are few things I'm not entirely happy about.

 

And then I need to talk more about day 36 in general, depending on your choices you might miss a lot. There is stuff if you promised to aid Li on day 16, stuff with Dagna and Sabrina if you did the "right choices", Mei depending on your choices with Miyuki and Oriana. What happens with Tamara depends on your choices on day 35, and earlier... and then there is some stuff with Maria as well. But then again, I've said that this day is about closing some of the loose threads, if you haven't even opened them you won't see them.

No, there is nothing wrong with Mei, it's the hair, shadows and camera angle that messes things up. I like the look of the hair and it fits Mei, but I don't like working with it. Sadly, it's one of those things that you can only see when working things. Singular render is easy to make look perfect, but when you do dozens of renders in sequence all the little problems that you normally wouldn't even see comes out.

Happy Holidays

 

So it is that time of the year when I take my annual day off, thus there is no progress post tomorrow. But I haven't forgotten you guys and gals!

The support I've received from you guys and gals has been more than I've expected in all honesty and I'm grateful for it. Whether you are current patron, former patron, or just a fan of my works. I thank you from bottom of my heart.

Thank you all, and happy holidays for all of you and stay safe!

 

Release: Sorcerer 0.35.0 public

 

Tested and played through a few times, all the saves worked. But that  doesn't mean things didn't slip by. So as always, if there are any issues please report them on discord (https://discord.gg/GJK5kfKypg). Thank you, and please enjoy!

EXTRAS INCLUDED IN THE DOWNLOADS. PLEASE USE THE "COMPRESSED UPDATE" WITH THE PREVIOUS COMPRESSED VERSION.

Okay, it seems that there were few more issues that were missed, none of these are game breaking as is and will be fixed in the next version, so the patch is optional. Extract to the the /game folder and overwrite the old one. This patch works for both versions: https://mega.nz/file/rupi1ZYZ#JZdIyoq89G9j8Fi8XdmMo-hHCIhvMWQk1RA86foYNrY

Fixes: 

• Missing image during Oriana's scene if extra's isn't on.
• Continuation from a save issue with the compressed version (solved by rollback)
• Couple other typos.

Also there is a missing image on the path ways where Miyuki is an advisor or you due certain choice. This is already fixed in the "update only versions" which also includes the patch above. Complete downloads either can download the update only for their version or wait the next update for this particular missing image.

Progress 20.12.2021

Right it's Monday and I did stuff over the weekend.

 

The epilogue stuff, unless you get one of those "you went and messed up the end" endings which obviously don't need any epilogue really, it's going to be long one, around branching day as singular day. Not every possible combination will have a scene but a lot does. It's bit weird and it's 30 odd pages right now going to be interesting to make. But that being said... I'm also writing material for Terminus Reach as well, hopefully I can shift my focus to it soon.

But that's that,  I'm more or less where I want and can be with day 36's renders, considering the time of the year with all sorts of distractions that pulls me away from the computer.

And as said 36 is mostly about closing few loose threads, speaking of...

And as said 36 is mostly about closing few loose threads, speaking of...

 Yes, Li is involved in one of those loose threads.

Progress 17.12.2021

 

So the 0.35.0 is out, yay, and 0.36.0 is on it's way, yay? Rendering is going decently enough. As said few months ago, probably, 0.36.0 exists to close some of more important threads so it's going to be bit weird and depending on your choices it might be really short.

Also it features probably one of the endings, sort of, I'm not certain how I handle it, but it will come to me once I render that bit.

Anyway, not sure there much to tell outside of that at the moment, the epilogue material is large since I keep forgetting few more core characters. Also sorted the annoyance issue I had with it, just need to add a scene there still, or two actually, and maybe some stuff to give an option... hmm... yeah. Probably shouldn't think it too hard, going to be even larger otherwise.

Well Sabrina isn't pleased about something or other.

Changelog 0.35.0

 

Changelog time!

Changelog 0.35.0

• Day 35 implemented.
• 426 Renders
• Grammar, spelling, and other fixes (Thanks to Adry Lemon, Shaddy, Orion777, Bread)

Release schedule:

So, it's December, holidays are coming and let's face it, timing just isn't there for getting the next update before that. Therefore...

• Patrons: All patrons once I get the release post sorted, gathering links and things.
• Public: 22nd of December

Progress 13.12.2021

 

Well I was hoping that I wouldn't need to to a progress post but, alas... renders take the time they take.

Good news is that the day is coded in, post work of the images is done, and first round of proofreading is done. So it's again just the renders and the testing phase. As a guess there is about 40 renders left, give or take a few.

Yeah there are explosions, potentially. Not sure is it a good thing or not though... And yes, some of the renders looks like they have noise on them. I'll probably run through external denoiser to see will things change, but I doubt it since it's due to the lightning.

Progress 10.12.2021

 

Why hello there! It's time for some progress.

 

Lets tackle rendering first. One scene left, well that wasn't surprising considering that the two remaining scenes I had left on Monday were the largest ones in this update. So it's progressing steadily enough and more or less on the schedule.

 

Now writing is being annoying, mostly because I'm not happy about the flow of the day since I'm let's say trying something else than I normally would do and it irritates me. But that being said I have 4 actual scenes left to write, which none of them are text heavy as is.

 

Granted, I'm still probably forgetting something which is the actual reason for the irritation, but that is something I'll see once I render and test it.

 

Anyway...

Time to meet the assassin...

Progress 06.12.2021

Monday and that means progress of some sort.

Let's tackle writing, assuming the mood for it goes I'll be done with the scenes by end of the week, thus finishing the epilogue. Then... well it will be interesting time as I need to write as much as possible of the TRS2 script, title pending, to have a similar buffer as I do with Sorcerer, or had.

Anyway, rendering, I'm half way through the day 35 script as I should be. Outside of few personal irritation and oddities there haven't been issues with it so far, technically could be bit more ahead than I am because posing one scene took way longer than I wanted because I wasn't happy with the original results. But that's bound to happen occasionally.

Well not sure how much explanation this needs... yeah Aya's eyes aren't looking in the right direction but I have a fix for it rendered already, just haven't done post yet for that particular series of images.

Progress 03.12.2021

 

Well then. I've done stuff! Good enough? No? Okay then.

 

So 35 is under way rendering wise, probably would have been some sort of news if it wouldn't have been. It's more or less on schedule with it, bit slower towards the end of the update as the scenes are bit complicated then.

 

Writing side, so much to remember and so many variants to write, but it should be finished relatively soon.

No it isn't Tamara, it's the other demon that Tamara made to be a messenger.

 

And haven't forgotten Fiery Fangs or Eva either...
