Just a fairly small update today.

I’m still working on the final sequence. Sadly, the images aren’t done yet, but I’m progressing though them at a steady rate (twenty done today).

I decided to have Leanna and Kristen’s ‘big sequence’ together at the basketball court from earlier in the game. I was going to have it at Leanna’s apartment, but I’ve already used it a lot in the game already.

The court renders beautifully, and it does so quickly, so it makes a good choice.

Also, to finish with, here’s a couple of images from the jogging sequence I haven’t mentioned yet earlier in the game.

Although I did mention August 11th as a possible release date, there’s still no guarantee it’ll be the big day. At the current speed, I’m actually thinking it may be something weird like Wednesday 16th.

I’ve only got around 50 more images to setup in total, so I’ll let you know where a release date stands once I’ve got them completed. A mid week blog update next week is with more details is likely.

Lot’s of work done this week.

Here’s where the game currently stands…

• Seq 1 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 2 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 3 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 4 (medium) : 100% complete
• Seq 5 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 6 (small) : 0% complete
• Seq 7 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 8 (medium) : 100% complete
• Seq 9 (medium) : 75% complete
• Seq 10 (very large) :
•                 Section 10a : 100% complete.
•                 Section 10b : 100% complete.
•                 Section 10c : 0% complete
• Seq 11 (small) : 0% complete

After deliberating what to do for the second date at the mall, I actually decided to change the entire setting. In keeping with Leanna’s fitness theme, I though if would be more appropriate to do something sporty for each.

This puts the image count at around 1300.

It also means that I think I’m finally ready to suggest  release date. Friday, August 11th seems very likely at this point.

It’s not an official release date at this point of course. Hopefully, I’ll be able to confirm it next week.

Time for another update.

• Seq 1 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 2 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 3 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 4 (medium) : 100% complete
• Seq 5 (large) : 20% complete
• Seq 6 (small) : 0% complete
• Seq 7 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 8 (medium) : 95% complete
• Seq 9 (medium) : 5% complete
• Seq 10 (very large) :
•                 Section 10a : 100% complete.
•                 Section 10b : 100% complete.
•                 Section 10c : 0% complete
• Seq 11 (small) : 0% complete

Current image count : 1191

I didn’t get quite as much done this week as I’d hoped. The reason is that sequence 4 contains a lot of characters and you have to reposition all of them for every image.

It always makes the game look better when you have the occasional scene where there’s lots of people, so I don’t mind having to do this, but it can be disappointingly time consuming.

Next week, I’m hitting the mall, which is going to be a series of smaller scenes as you visit different places. Hopefully progress will be a little quicker with that.

Poll

EDIT : Decided to add a poll as I decide how exactly the mall sequence could go. I’m considering reducing it down to a choice between shopping at the mall, or doing a photoshoot with Leanna.

However, this will be, like, the 100th photoshoot sequence in one of my games. They’re always popular, but has there been one too many?

What do you think?

Hi Everyone.

This week I managed to get quite a bit done.

• Seq 1 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 2 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 3 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 4 (medium) : 50% complete
• Seq 5 (large) : 20% complete
• Seq 6 (small) : 0% complete
• Seq 7 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 8 (medium) : 95% complete
• Seq 9 (medium) : 5% complete
• Seq 10 (very large) :
•                 Section 10a : 100% complete.
•                 Section 10b : 100% complete.
•                 Section 10c : 0% complete
• Seq 11 (small) : 0% complete

Section 10b is done, and I’ve manged to get half of sequence 4 finished too!

This week’s previews are all from seq 4.

The game currently has 1061 images.

It’s also worth mentioning that I have multiple scenes set to render over the weekend, some of which are animations. They should add and extra 200 images to the total when done.

At this speed, I’m hoping to get all of the images finished in about a week and a half, though obviously I’ll still have writing etc to do after that.

 

Leanna

I think for the next few weeks I’ll continue with the statistics I did last time, but I’ll update them every Friday. It seems like a good way to keep me one my toes too.

So…

• Seq 1 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 2 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 3 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 4 (medium) : 0% complete
• Seq 5 (large) : 20% complete
• Seq 6 (small) : 0% complete
• Seq 7 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 8 (medium) : 90% complete
• Seq 9 (medium) : 5% complete
• Seq 10 (very large) :
•                 Section 10a : 95% complete.
•                 Section 10b : 5% complete.
•                 Section 10c : 0% complete
• Seq 11 (small) : 0% complete

As you can see, I’ve adjusted Sequence 10 a little to better reflect it’s size. This sequence is the the final sex scene, and it can go three different ways.

I’ve competed nearly all of 10a this week, but it included many new locations to setup, which is more time consuming.

 

10b and 10c both use locations that I’ve already used, so I should be able to create a larger amount of content much quicker.

I know last week I said I’d be going through various features of the game, but I’ll save it for another time. I’m guessing that if it’s a choice between me spending an hour putting together a comprehensive summary of the games, or spending an hour creating more images, you’d want the latter.

So that’s what I’m going to do. See you all next week!

Hi everyone. Since my little vacation is over, it’s time to get back to building Leanna : Fading the Facade full time (or as much as I can).

Leanna

Let’s begin with a summary of where I am progress-wise. Here’s the plan :

• Seq 1 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 2 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 3 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 4 (medium) : 0% complete
• Seq 5 (large) : 20% complete
• Seq 6 (small) : 0% complete
• Seq 7 (large) : 100% complete
• Seq 8 (medium) : 90% complete
• Seq 9 (medium) : 5% complete
• Seq 10 (large) : 15% complete
• Seq 11 (small) : 0% complete

Small sequences are around 20 to 50 images each, mediums are 50 to 150, and large are 150 to 300. So, as you can see most of the large ones are complete.

There will be three endings to aspire for (well, 5 if you count the ‘fail’ endings). Each of the endings will be a different sex scene, including one threesome. Each is reached by managing to increase or decrease enough points. This is the 10th sequence and the one I’m currently working on. Here’s a couple of previews from the start of it.

There are just under 1000 images in the game right now. I’m anticipating it to be around 1500 by the time I’m finished.

Next week, there’ll be more previews and I’ll be going through the various features of the game.

Academy 4 walkthough

Haven’t heard anything from dsp3000 yet regarding his own walkthrough, however the ever diligent Santa has submitted his own concise one. You can find it in the members section under walkthroughs with the rest of them

One final week of experiments today. Next week, I’ll be back to concentrating on Leanna and I’ll begin with a thorough summary of where the game is up to, what players can expect from it, and when they can expect it.

For now though…

I had another attempt at creating a new character this week. No name yet, but I came across a series of very realistic skin textures and felt compelled to use them.

I’ve tried to go for a slightly more hippy or bohemian look for her. It isn’t really something I’ve done before, and it could be very useful.

There’s some interesting character driven scenarios or factors it opens up. Hanging out naked in the forest? Maybe she lives in a cabin on the edge of the city and your spend the whole day nude and exploring the area.

Maybe an artist too. Last time we saw Kelly she appeared to have advanced from art student to teacher, so maybe this new woman is one of students. It would be a good way to connect her to the rest of the world I’ve established.

Poll

For this weeks poll, which of the follow places would you like to see sex scenes take place in?

This isn’t necessarily for Leanna, or any specific game, I just want to get a general feel for everyone’s interests. My games are notable for rarely just sticking to bedrooms when it comes to sex, and since most of you keep coming back here, I’m guessing you like that.

Select as many of these as you like. If you have your own suggestions too, leave a comment below and I’ll add them to the poll.

Just a random mix of images and polls this week.

New character?

I’ve been experimenting with the idea of doing something with a more ‘cutesy’ character. Maybe someone with a sort of goth or Kawaii thing going down.

She’s nowhere near finished, but this is what I’ve got so far.

Leanna progress

No new images for Leanna this week, though I have been spent some time reordering the plot. I’ve found a way to merge some of the scenes together and thereby save a lot of work. The amount of sex content will be the same, but hopefully this should mean I can get through the remainder of the work quickly starting next week.

EDIT :  Decided to do a little work on Leanna today, so I started on the ending. Here’s the test image for the start of the scene.

Polls

It’s been a little while since I had any polls, so let’s have one this week.

I bought a new toy for Leanna a while ago. If you’re not aware of them, this is called a torso doll, and they are very much a real thing.

Obviously, the idea is that the woman get’s on top and rides it like she would a man. Since a majority of you didn’t like the idea of a threesome involving another man, I thought this might be a good alternative. She could be riding it whilst giving you a blowjob, or vice versa. She could maybe even have multiple dolls to play with – an orgy where you’re the only guy.

What do you think? Could this be a way to have a slightly naughtier/nastier sex scene, but without any threat to male territoriality involved?

 

Just a small post today to show what I’ve been doing this week.

In the last update, I mentioned that I would be experimenting with some ancient Egypt assets I bought. Well, I did and here are the results…

Some of you may notice the lighter skinned woman as the female player character from Leanna. This is because I’m trying to find a use for her. Around when I discovered the faster way to render IRAY images for the game, I also decided the remove the most of the shots where you will able to see the player from a third person angle. They weren’t adding anything satisfying to the game content and just creating more work. Right now, you only have the option to switch to third person during the animations (basically, the sex). It can give you a much better, and hotter view of what’s happening.

So, as I say, showing the faces of the female player characters became pointless. I rebuilt the female pc bodies so that they are no longer the woman you see above.

I know some people were into her however, and I’d love to find a use for the model. If these images turn into a short story, that seems like a good option.

Now that The Academy Part 4 is released, it’s time for me to return to updates on my own projects.

If you still want to discuss Academy 4, I’d advise doing it here as that’s where most of the questions have already been asked.

First of all

Obviously, I’m still working on Leanna, but before I build up too much excitement over it, I need to say that I’m taking a break from it for a month.

Setting up the images this week has been a bit of a chore. I’m still enthusiastic about it, but there’s only so many consecutive days you can create images before the repetition gets to you. Right now, I’m only creating 4 or 5 images per day, but if I take a break, It’ll jump back up to 30 to 50. It may seem like this will push back the release date, but honestly, it’ll make production much quicker in the long run.

Normally, I take a month long break after I release a game, but since I was already working on Leanna when I released April & Violet, I haven’t been able to have one this year. Members have just had a game, and free players got Photographer Part 2 recently, so this seems like a good time for this.

This would probably mean Leanna’s release date is around late July or August, which is actually pretty normal for me (I’m normally doing 2 game per year and releasing them around those times).

Leanna

I’ve still got lots to talk about with Leanna, and plenty of images to show, so I’ll continue making some blog posts about the game over the next month though.

I will say that the game now has 894 images, which is pretty damn good.

For now, here’s some of the images I’ve been posting to tumblr for those who may not have seen them.

So, what am I doing?

Well, I have other non VDG related things in my life to take care of. This month long break will end with a 5 night vacation for me for instance.

Also, I will be doing some Leanna stuff. Yeah, the idea is to take a break, but there’ll undoubtedly be the occasional afternoon where I’m just really in the mood for it, and I’ll get another pile of IRAY images sorted.

Apart from that, I’ll be experimenting with some new characters and sets. I’ve bought an asset pack full of Egyptian characters and environments, so I’ll be rendering some images for fun with them. It may evolve into a short story. I might also do short story about something else, similar to Betsy’s Christmas from the advent calendar last year.

That’s all for this week. See you on Friday when the blog posts will return to their usual day.
