Hey everybody.

As you can see from the previews, this week I worked on a flashback scene with Jamie and MC. The scene is meant to be a sweet moment, but there's also some dark humor in it. Both getting this scene and getting the humor will depend on the choices the player has made so far. If you told Donna Lee you're not interested in Jamie, then you won't see this flashback.

But if you're on Jamie's path, this is a good scene to help put you into MC's head because it creates an actual memory for you of Jamie as a ten-year-old child. I can understand a man resisting romantic feelings for someone he knew as a little girl. But what Donna Lee is trying to help MC realize is that his relationship with Jamie has already changed and it's okay for him to see adult Jamie as a sexual partner.

This scene is short but took a long time to get correct. A still unknown error corrupted the scene after I spent hours building it, so I had to burn a night to rebuild it. And then, because I struggled to get the lighting correct, I had to re-render everything and these are all two hour renders. Also, when using my overnight batch rendering script, I failed to uncheck a default option that completely screws up the entire batch (don't ask me why there's a default option like that) so I burned a night on that.

That's it for this week. Thank you all for your support!
