Hi,

Hi,
here is the intro image from Nimhe's Pole Sequence. To give it more variety I think I'll have a fixed into and outro image and a variety of images in between, which are pulled from a pool of images.
So I have to do quite a bunch of renders. Nimhe's poses will be more acrobatic tha...

Hi,
today I started with the NSFW Quest content for V1.40.
As per VIP Poll request last month, one focus is to bring in a more classic Training Arc (like for T'Ris in the beginning). Doctor Moira is the most suitable for that, as her content just started. Also, the ship needs more S...

Hi,
here is the new intro scene for the T'Ris toy demo cutscene which I will fill with some dialogue for immersion. There will be an outro scene too.
I'll modify three anim cutscenes per release that way until all are done.

Hi,
as per suggestion from a Patron, I have added one special Plating to each System (so there is a sense of progress when you arrive for the first time and can replate your ship).
As this might get a bit confusing the further you progress Khelara can do the replating job for you (onc...

Hi,
here is a variation of the Training Scene where I adjusted Khelara's Model and Lighting a bit.
Thinking of it, I like it better than the cutscenes in the game. Maybe I'll add some random variations to the training cutscene (like the shower scenes...)
