Summer's Gone - Season 2 - Chapter 1 - Dev Log #35
🕑 Added 2025-06-29 17:56:31 +0000 UTCHello,
Gone are the days of the Wednesday dev logs. Welcome the age of Sunday Logs.
It makes a lot more sense to have Dev Logs on Sunday, as I don’t do render work on it and instead focus on preparation, postwork, behind-the-scenes stuff, contracts, etc.
I finished my move, and after the initial 4 days of party invites and BBQs, I have now returned to my usual working routine.
This must do for a vacation for the next two years, even though I apparently semi-agreed to a trip to Mexico next year. I blame the tequila.
I'll only go there if I can clearly say I improved the release schedule of the 2000-2500 render updates.
My Main workstation with the A6000s has been running for a few days. It and all my monitors survived the trip. No issues there.
I still haven’t connected my other PC with the 4090 as I don’t have animations to render right now and would like to produce as little heat as possible.
Renders done in the past 6 days.
Renders: 6050 -> 6300 (~250)
I currently average about 45 renders per day, and I hope to increase this to around 55 by next week.
I hate nothing more than heat, and it’s affecting my output. My A6000s are reaching 80C°+ temps for the first time ever, and my mobile AC can’t cool the room at all.
I now live in a less insulated house again, and it shows.
The Dorms
I totally forgot to mention this in the previous log…
Surprisingly, there aren’t any really good assets for a college dorm.
There are assets for specific rooms, but not the hallway itself. At least nothing that looked good enough.
So, I decided to create my own.
I modeled a very basic hallway in Blender
How it looked in Daz:
How it looked an hour later:
It’s modular, allowing me to add as many additional floors as needed in the future. (*cough* Dorm parties)
Goth Treats Vol. 1
23 images and 3 extra images for the Silent Rain and above.
As always, Treats aren’t about quality; they are about acting on sudden inspirations and finishing them before the inspiration goes away.
I might create an extra set based on the additional image for Nia. I really like it.
I’m certain I will create Vol. 2 before the new update releases… All I can say is… Goth Sasha hits surprisingly hard.
Community Treat
Here are the 3 sets you can vote for:
1. Bella, Ayua, and Nadia hanging out at the Beach.
2. Bella & Zara in the classroom.
3. Bella and Mila Catfight, including making up.
You can vote for one below. It will be a free Treat set.
I added the first place and scenario that came to my mind to #2 as the comment only said “Bellchen and Zara.â€
The community treat will be publicly available. (NSFW images need to be behind a paywall on Patreon iirc, so I will release it here for every supporter, but you can grab it from Discord, too.)
Previews
Zara love continues.
A rival enters the area.
I'm almost done with a big scene… And afterward…
Another big scene!
But that one is a lot more diverse… I’m looking forward to it.
I’m documenting my daily progress religiously and have a code snippet that tracks how many renders I complete daily.
It will be a cute little challenge to push the numbers up.
I'll see you in two weeks... We should be closing in on 7000 renders by then.

Zara + Bella might cause a heart attack 😅

Ocean, I just want to tell you that I just finished Season 1 for the 3rd time and it never gets old. I can honestly say that I have played well over 300 games and there is nothing that compares to what you have accomplished thus far. The women are absolutely incredible and the story line is the best. There are so many great characters. I truly hope that Bella and MC will have a great relationship. They both deserve it. I know they have their issues, but I do think they could be really good together. Thank you for taking the time to make incredible imagery. Everything about this game is top notch. Please keep up the good work. Thanks again for the work that you do to make things amazing!!!
