Now that The Academy Part 4 is released, it’s time for me to return to updates on my own projects.<\/p>\n

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

First of all<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

Leanna<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I will say that the game now has 894 images, which is pretty damn good.<\/p>\n

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

So, what am<\/em> I doing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Also, I will be doing some<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

That’s all for this week. See you on Friday when the blog posts will return to their usual day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
