Dev Log 0.3 - #7
Hello friends!
I’ve been hard at work finishing up the remaining story elements for the next update. The scenes are all written, but I’ve found myself revisiting and rewriting some parts - especially when it comes to branching paths I initially overlooked.
For example, having different dialogue routes depending on whether or not you’ve lost a girl's path. Imagine you're talking with Amber, and afterward, Jade approaches and makes comments about her. If you're no longer on Amber’s path, Jade’s comments wouldn't really make sense. So, I’m adding alternate dialogue to maintain context and consistency. It’s a small thing, mostly basic storytelling, but not something I often see utilized in AVNs, so I wanted to explain where my time is being invested. Of course, this might have changed recently, but I haven’t had the chance to dive into every new or updated AVN lately.
Now, back to the main topic. Besides rewriting the story parts, I’m also working on the renders. I’m currently debating (pun intended) whether to update my characters from Hanmen Shader Version 2 to Version 3.X. There’s quite a bit of work involved in getting the characters to look like their original Version 2 models. You might be wondering - why bother updating? Well, the new graphics mod comes with some useful fixes for common HS2 issues, like those annoying dark lines on the body parts, among other things, and those need the new shader version. So, it could be worth the investment in time, but I’m still weighing that decision.
I’ve attached some previews so you can see the differences. There are still some noticeable differences between V2 and the adjusted V3-B (V3-A is just switching out V2 with V3), but they’re getting closer. I’ve been especially focused on Chloe, but despite my efforts, she’s not quite looking like herself yet with the new shader but Lucy on the other hand seems rather easy to update. (You can see the comparison images on my Patreon / SubscribeStar page)
Lastly, I’m off this week from my day job and will be dedicating my time to working on renders, as well as the monthly render where I'll show Anya and Lucy together!
I've also added a fan made Russian translation (made by fa1con_eye) to the download page! (Some choices are still in English, this will be fixed with the upcoming update!) Enjoy!
Wishing you all a fantastic week! <3

I see what you mean about the differences betwen V2 and V3-a... massively different.
I've not actually noticed any dark lines on the body parts that you mentioned.
I'd say don't fix what isn't broken.
However if you are going to do that, I'd recommend taking an update cycle just to fix that.
I assume it'll take awhile to do them all.
That way you have one cycle of no story that's short, instead of one or more that take much longer.
Either way, good luck!
Hey there!
I won't update any previous content, hence why I try to get V2 look exactly like V3-B so it's not noticeable at all. It has multiple advantages to upgrade them, like cameos, since the chars won't look like V3-A for the other devs anymore.
I've already upgraded 7 chars yesterday so don't worry about it taking too long :)
ah I'm glad it's going fast. :-)
Appreciate for always giving us a dev log fam hope you are doing great and stay healthy :D
You're very welcome! =D Stay healthy as well and have a great week!
