Status Update: Season 2 Episode 3, Episode 4 and Forbidden Fantasy Chapter 3
Hello, my dear FreshMen!
Today is Friday, and it means it’s time for updates!
We’re making fast progress on FreshWomen Season 2 Episode 3, and I’m very happy with how we’ve advanced over the past few weeks. I’m testing a few new ideas in our pipelines, and one of them seems to be working extraordinarily well.
Specifically, I’m now personally responsible for the polishing stage. This means that artists no longer have to make final fixes on renders, such as: deal with clippings, cloth simulation, polishing expressions, shader adjustment, etc. Instead, they can focus all of their efforts on Blocking, Lighting and Facial Expression.
These changes to our pipeline, along with our new character rig (with faster performance), seems to have increased our productivity (but also our work in progress). I’ll keep watching our numbers in order to observe two things: 1 - If this trend is indeed true and if it impacts our final quality, 2 - If I won’t become a bottleneck by adding these task to my stack.
If my hypothesis is correct, these changes can result in faster updates, and will become permanent.
Speaking of updates, this is our progress summary of Season 2 Episode 3 Part 1:
- Blocking: 7 scenes are blocked, 2 in progress;
- Lighting: 6 scenes done, 2 in progress, 1 to go;
- Facial Expression: 5 scenes done, 3 in progress, 1 to go;
- Cloth Simulation and Polish: 2 scenes done, 3 in progress, 4 to go;
- Animations: 7 animations done, 8 in progress, 16 to go;
- Characters, Script and Storyboards are done!
- Voice Acting is done, except for Lily’s now extended sex scene.
This progress makes me very excited! Season 2 Episode 3 is hilarious, sexy, and I’m very hyped to get it in your hands!
Forbidden Fantasy Chapter 3 is making fast progress too, and we’ve blocked almost everything! Here’s a summary of our progress so far:
- Blocking: 8 scenes are blocked, 1 in progress;
- Lighting: 2 scenes done, 6 in progress, 1 to go;
- Facial Expression: 2 in progress, 7 to go;
- Cloth Simulation and Polish: 9 to go;
- Animations: 2 animations done, 6 in progress, 20 to go;
- Characters, Script and Storyboards are done!
- Voice Acting is done.
We’re progressing quickly, and Chapter 3 is absolutely STUNNING. Honestly, the Zhara sex scene is one of the prettiest scenes I’ve seen, EVER!
This week we also shared the Story Outline for FreshWomen Season 2 Episode 4, and it was approved by you! This is awesome news, and our writers are already writing the script! Episode 4 will be the last episode of Season 2, and we’ll end this season with a bang!
Starting the preproduction for Episode 4 also means we’ll soon start to turn our gears for a Steam Release of Season 2. We’re aiming for a second semester release! Stay tuned for more news!
As always, I’d like to thank you for your support! We’re very amazed by how much you guys have supported and helped us, and it’s a huge pleasure to create this games for you!
See you soon,
