Hey, folks! Hope you're all doing well this week! Work continues, and right now I'm basically just doing the same stuff I was doing last week. I've been setting up scenes, shots, and costumes for Chapter 11, working on a scene that connects the new Chapter 1 with Chapter 2, and adjusting variables.

The Chapter 11 stuff is mostly just getting my ducks in a row, so I can hit the ground running when I begin rendering Chapter 11. It'll save me a bunch of time later, when I don't need to set up lighting, sets, etc. That's where Business Babe Nicki came from, up above. Is that.. eyeshadow on our girl?! Dressed to impress, Nickidoodle..

The scene(s) that connect the new Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 features a little ero scene, which I have mapped out to be similar to Dash's scene from Chapter 10. Not going crazy with positions and options, just a little somethin', somethin' to show what our plucky protagonist was up to while Nicki was gone. I'm about 90 images into that, which is more than I anticipated doing. Story of my life!

The variable tweaking is all going pretty well. I've been playtesting as I go, and I haven't broken anything yet. So, I'll take that as a victory.

Finally, I've got a new text-based short story featuring Madison, which I'm in the process of editing. That'll be up this weekend for all paid supporters, and feature a few pieces of art showing Madison in her younger days. People really seemed to dig learning more about Isabella in the last story, so I'm hopeful that this one will strike a chord as well. But, the soft-hearted will be happy to know this one won't tug on your heartstrings quite as much as Glitter and Grit.

Alright, I think that's it for me! Hope you folks have a great week, and I'll be back on Friday and Saturday for the Sneak Peek and Wanton Weekends features. As always, take care of yourselves -- and thank you for your support!
