Hi everyone! 

This week, I did a lot of stuff. 

I continued writing the story, and by now, I have 12,491 words. There's one particular scene I'm proud of - the first date with one of the love interests. It's special to me because it's the first scene that I can honestly say I'm happy with. It might not seem like a big deal to you, but I am ecstatic about it. It captured the emotions you feel when you're on a date with someone for the first time, and that's my goal. If I can feel the emotions from the scene, I think you guys will love it too!

This week, I decided to start coding scenes in Ren'Py. I was planning to leave it until the very end, when I have some renders, but it's hard for me to gauge the flow and feel of interactions between characters without visuals. Since I don't have any renders yet, I'm using whatever pictures I find on the internet and Midjourney-generated faces in the dialogs. It looks something like this:

I also spent some time learning DAZ3D. There are tons of tutorials out there, but most of them are pretty basic. I'm still looking for something more advanced. I mean, six episodes just to learn how to move a mouse and navigate a scene? What the hell is wrong with these people? Give me some good stuff, damn it! Ahem... Sorry for that.

A big problem I'll face is buying models. As you can see, I generated my girls using Midjourney, and at the time, I didn't consider that I'd have to use existing models from the DAZ store. So, for Julia and Ana (the two girls on the right of the banner), I found the perfect model, and with a few tweaks, they'll be spot on. But for Fara (the second from the left), I'll have to morph a couple of different models to get close to what I want. I have some income lined up for me next week, and I'll be buying some models to start with posing.

Starting next week, I will be posting infodumps about the game. These will be short pieces of information about the characters and some backstory.

Still, if you want to help me by reading my texts and pointing out my mistakes, feel free to contact me.

That's it for now. See you later, you beautiful people of culture!
