Who would you like to see featured in the hidden bonus renders in CH05? The two girls with the most votes will get a render each. Keep in mind that each Patreon tier has its own poll and that what you see here might not reflect the final vote.

Freeplay! Our plan for the CH05 Freeplay segment has changed back and forth a couple of times during scripting. We considered making it more linear and leaving certain choices out, perhaps even cutting content... but in the end we decided to keep most of the plan intact without cha...

The past few weeks we've been focusing mostly on SFX, ambience and renders. Adding SFX has proven to be a very time-consuming part of the coding process. It's something we shifted gears with for CH04 and intend to carry on with in the future as well. We'd also like to include more music, whether that's co...

This week we wrapped up a couple more scenes that we've been working on. These scenes were giving us a bit of a headache, mostly due to some issues caused by Sophie... We got it figured out in the end though, and after some adjustments the problems didn't pop up again!
It's been fun making night...

This week has been a simple one for us. We posed, we rendered, we tested, we worked on sound effects... and that's about it! The music and ambience received some attention as well.
Building the soundscape for Summer Heat takes quite a while and that's what we've been focusing on this week, along...

We've been focusing on coding, sound effects and creating new renders this week. The script received some minor changes as we continued work on coding, and a couple of scenes were marked for future editing to improve the flow.
We also worked on a couple of minor things, like a book and some scre...

This week we've been back to creating new renders. We've also been creating content for Ember, making assets, designing a set and doing some minor clothing fixes. Designing a new outfit is often the easiest part, when the character stands still and the clothes fit perfectly. It's only when you start posing ...

Wet stuff. This week, one of the things we focused on was wetness and figuring out what looks and feels right when combined with lighting. We ended up changing some previous assets and replacing them with another, which turned out to be heavier and more time consuming to use. Simulating wet h...

The previous week we started fixing some scenes that have been craving attention. Quick fixes in theory, but tedious in practice due to the load and wait times. The fixing continued into this week as well, with a focus on consistency. We did also pose some new renders although that wasn't our focus th...

Weekly status update coming through! This week we've been cracking down on post-processing, re-rendering some disappointments, and preparing several scenes with a new set. A bit nervous about this one but so far there's been no problems!
We've also been tackling some dialogue writing, script cha...

We've got another problem-free week behind us. Plenty of work got done on the design side of things, and a fresh batch of new renders was also created. We have several animations planned for CH05 and so far we've been creating content around those scenes. Soon we'll get to tackle the animations themse...

Last week we realized that, despite posting weekly status updates about Summer Heat for a whole year, we haven't really talked much about what happens behind the scenes. And seeing as February 2nd was the anniversary of our first release, why not do it now? So, let's talk about the first release ...

This week we've been focusing on Rosewood and the people who live there. We've been dressing side characters, designing new extras and decorating the interior of the new location. Lots of texture fiddling involved! We've also been making steady progress on the renders in the background.

Renders, renders, renders. Creating new renders for CH05 has been very easy compared to previous chapters, where we'd frequently run into issues with VRAM. Scenes refusing to squeeze into the graphics card memory used to be a daily occurrence, but it hasn't happened a single time with CH05. Such a relief!
Besides that, ...

This week we've been coding, editing and polishing the first scenes. The moment when you put the renders in the game alongside the dialogue is one of the best parts of developing. The game comes alive! Unfortunately, we always have our developer goggles on and only see what's wrong, lacking or just nee...

Which panties would you like to see Sophie wear in CH05? And in case you were wondering, she prefers to sleep topless. There will be a second poll with color options after this poll has concluded.

This week we've reached a point where, in early development, we would've considered the chapter to be close to release. Our plan in the beginning of Summer Heat was to release "short" updates similar in length to a book chapter—something that didn't take too long to play, but could be updated fairly often. 2023-01-06 22:31:20 +0000 UTC View Post
