V0.12 available and First Year together
Hello! the new version of the game is already available (v0.12 paid, v0.11 public), and also I'm very happy to thank you for supporting me along this first year of development, next I'm going to make a little recap of our first year together.
The last year I have the idea to develop a Visual Novel as I see that the ren'py engine was very useful to simplify the work needed to make one, I used RPG maker to make a game like 20 years ago and I thought that ren'py was similar to use, certainly it wasn't, I mean the last time I pogramed anything was more than a 20 years ago on the basic and it was a calculator; quickly I dismissed the idea of making the small choices game, but not for the programing part, but for the render one, on my gaming pc with an i3 and my RX 570 every render takes around 1-2 hours of time, so it was a not.
Here is one of the initial pics of this game showing Miranda on the v0.1 (also notice that the actual model is more close to the original one)
After dismissed the idea of the choices game, the only option I have was to make an linear game, but as some of you may know, the daz facegen just let you make 3 faces for free, and back then I don't want to invest money on the game as I don't know if the people would like it, so I have to scrap the things I made before, to start the game.
As I scrapped things, obviously I want to keep this one, the other game was the story of a father wandering around with her daughter and he have to choose one girl to be his partner (Maybe later I will do this story here)
Finally the day 25 of may I finished the project and I upload it here with the name of "My new Daughter's Lover" and the rest of the story you know it well, the game become popular, so I decided to start the development of the new version like a week after I published the first one.
To make that possible, I remembered that I have one of these office pc's collecting dust around, so I scrap it and found that has and old i7, a little faster than my i3 so I move the develop to that PC, the improvement of the speed wasn't so great, but it will help me to improve the render speed aroun an 60% (I still make everything on that pc).
Finally on June 10 I published the version 0.2, and was when I decided to start investing my money on the game to cover the development expenses I had to not stop the development of it, I know that was just a matter of time before my money return (Today I'm still waiting, but many of you have been supporting so I'm doing the same).
During the develpment of the v0.3 I started to have heat problems on the office PC, mainly because of bad thermal design of the case, The PSU aren't designed to take out the heat from the case, but I think the designers chose design before efficency, so I have to change the PSU and also buy a cooler for the cpu, so I scrapped that pc, take the best pieces of my i3 and I develop with that; finally I delivered the v0.3 at time on July 1; since that update the free versions come along the paid one, also started to work on the next poject.
From Version 0.4 to 0.6 didn't happen anything extraordinary to the development of this game, but on September 2 I uploaded the prologue of "My life as Internet girl", now known as "The Horn i Fawns", the reception of the prologue wasn't that bad So I decided to work on the project along this one, the Initial version of the Chapter 1 of "My life as Internet Girl" was published on October 22, but wasn't listed on the site, that was fixed later but the game wasn't popular (I think because the main character is a girl)
(Fawn waiting for the next update of her story)
On november 8 the version 0.7 of this game was launched, and that version completed the story of the first Chapter of this game, I want to put the project on hold to focus on the development of "My life as Inter Girl", but since the game wasn't well received, I dissmissed that Idea and started to work on Improvement to the models and locations of this game (My new Daughter's Lover).
The second chapter of this game, begin is development on December 20, that was the first major change to Miranda's apparence, (not realy the second one because on every version I make changes to her), some people mention if I aged her (still today I don't know why they mention the age thing, because since the first version it was stated she has 18yo on the story), I used the new model until the last version, below I'm gonna put a comparation between some models.
The model on the left is actually the second model, used since v0.2, the bad quality of the texture was evident, but back there I didn' have alternative textures, so I have to work whit the things I had; the one on the middle was the main since Chapter 2, I tried to improve the body model because the model on the left always has the body of a dwarf (and also a very long neck), I rebuild it with the base of the previous one, but then I noticed it wasn't too good, mainly because her body become more voluptuous; so finally I decided to make a new model from scratch based on pictures that I have of the first model, and the result is the model on the right, look how the body looks slim as it supossed to look from the begin.
On January there wasn't a game version because I was very sick and spend the most of the month in bed, but as soon as I recovered started the development of the v0.9 wich was launched on February 7, and the v0.10 on march 17; but something that you don't know, Is that I was also started to work on parallel on a second project since the last year (except on January of course), and that project was "DiLf Housemates"
Version 0.11 of the game was uploaded on April 20, and on that versión I mention on the end of the version, that I was working on a new project, and I wanted to upload it before the game annyversary, but I have many renders to do and figure that I can't finish them without a dedicated Render GPU, the problem, I didn't have enough moneyy to buy a quadro rtx, because of the expenses of January, also recently have buy the pro models to get better anatomical elements, so I almost put that new project on hold until I have the new gpu, but I solved the situation and the game come on May 15, but there was a problem, I spend money that I don't have on the GPU and the game was delisted along all my other games.
Because of that I was seriously thinking on stop the development of all the games, you know appart that my games cannot be found anymore on seaches, I'm not from the US and the GPU's here cost between the twice and triple of the MSRP, so I was thinking stop the updates until I recover that money, but I don't want to go without updating on the anniversary, so I make the new version and upload it here on May 24.
Today is May 25, the anniversary day, I can't make anymore to celebrate it, but I think it was a good idea to make this the devlog, to remember that I experencied worst situations on the develop of the games, and I hope I can solve this one as I do with the others.
Good bye and happy first anniversary.
