Hello everyone, and happy weekend!
We've reached the end of the month, so I'll get this out of the way first... We're still a few weeks away from doing a release for LH episode 2. And it isn't because I fell behind this time or got too busy. Okay, well, that definitely does have a bit to do with it. Mainly it's because I needed to rewrite and add some stuff. I didn't like how some things were flowing. I also want this to be a nice long playthrough, so I am extending it a bit to make room for a few new scenes. I felt like something was missing and I won't make the mistakes I made in the past where I just went with it.
There are also more animations in this update than any other I've done (for this or Serenity). The sci-fi aspect of LH wouldn't be any fun to me if we couldn't see some things in action now and then. Especially space or flight scenes. But animations take some time.
Three previews are attached, one showing some random girls in Base City, Pantheria. Base City is where the base tower is located. The tower is the only 'tech' looking building around. Everything else is kept simple, and similar to earth. Originally, I thought I would have them look a lot more advanced, but it probably would have taken me many months JUST to make a city look the way I was picturing it. Thanks to mas75 (modder), I found a nearly perfect layout for a small city, not too big and I was able to add to it to create what I was envisioning for it. In one of the preview images, you can see the Base Tower standing high above the city that surrounds it. And finally, there is a preview of some of our crew on their first 'away mission' as they find that the planet Nexus has changed from what it was. In the background, you can see the D.A.R.T. More on that in the episode, but it basically serves as Aurora's shuttlecraft, and can also be a small fighter.
Well, that's all I have for this week. I just need to buckle down and get to work this weekend. I have a lot of scenes left to render, but at least now I have base scenes for the rest of the update, and I don't need to search for or build anything new (for now at least). Plus, no more animations I need to do except for the sex scene. So now it's just a lot of posing.
Have a great weekend everyone!
