Lots and lots of images rendered this week. I chose to focus mainly on the sex scenes and it’s paid off.
The Emma and Kimiko sex sequences are all done. I’m also hoping to have the Zoe and Miranda threesome finished by the end of the day (or maybe with a little work tomorrow morning).
I’m still progressing through the middle day of the three in game. It looks like this will be the largest part and the bulk of the game.
I’m still aiming for an August release, though of course game production isn’t 100% predictable.
This week, I think I might just skip ahead to some of the sex scenes and get them done.
Not a long, intensive post this week as I just had one on Monday. Progress with Photographer Part 3 is…progressing.
One final note though. As those of you who follow me on twitter will have seen, I’ve had to update Maddison’s hair.
The other new one wasn’t being cooperative. Depending on her exact pose it was sometimes impossible to control her hair in a way that looked good. So, this is what’s she’s going to look like for a majority of the game now.
Update a little later this week as I was busy on Friday with a Doctor, which drained a lot of my energy (metaphorically speaking). Everything’s fine, but I do have to give up alcohol for a full month for some blood tests. Ugh. Anyone have any tips on anything else fun to drink?
Anyway, just a small update this week after the large one last time.
Production is progressing, and here’s two more previews.
No update from dsp300 yet (I saw some of you were asking).
This week, I’ve been steadily progressing through the main body of the Photographer Part 3. Since you all don’t really know what that means, as you don’t have the plan written out in front of you in childish scrawl like I do, I feel it’s time to go over the fundamentals of this game.
There will be 9 characters altogether. the returning ones will be :
The new characters will be :
The layout of the game has gone through a few drafts, but I’ve now got something I’m fully happy with.
Mia is the new director of Mr Hughes’s company. Unlike the her predecessor, she wants to take the empire in a new direction. For instance, it’s flagship magazine will no longer be featuring nude women.
Maddison and you (the player character), try to persuade her not to as you know it will doom the company. She gives you one last shot. There is a party in 3 days at her mansion on an island paradise. Organise the party yourselves, and persuade the shareholders to share your vision.
Maddison takes charge of the party fundamentals, such as catering, and your job is to find as many attractive ladies as you can around the island to attend the party, after staying at the mansion for 2 nights first. The more flirty they can be at the party the better, so you have 72 hours to bring out their inner seductresses along the way.
Not counting the prologue of the funeral, there will be 3 days.
The first day you will be exploring the island and finding ladies to recruit. The second will almost exclusively be at the mansion as you hang with everyone there and try to gain their approval (and perhaps something more intimate). The third day will center around the build up to the party, though prepare for sexual shenanigans along the way.
The second say is the ‘main body’ I am currently progressing though.
Finally, some random extra remarks :
EDIT : update coming Monday this week
Photographer Part 3
I’ve made a satisfying amount of progress on Photographer Part 3 this week. My main job has been to build the mansion which most of the game will be taking part in.
After you ‘recruit’ each female character to your team, they’ll be lounging around the mansion and occupying themselves. Visiting them in a certain location at a certain time of day will can yield some very interesting results. Image rendering-wise, it means that right now I’m just trying to cover every image I might need ; Lisette in the kitchen, Lisette by the pool, Liseete by the pool with Maddison etc.
I’ll be going over the details of this next week when I explain the logistics of the game more thoroughly.
Back today with a post that isn’t quite as big as I’d hoped, but I really need to post something today, so here’s what I’ve got.
Nearly all of the initial setting up is now done. This doesn’t mean that I haven’t started making the game yet of course, I’ve got plenty of images rendered and html files done. It’s just that this game needs a lot of character sets and locations setup to make the rest of the game’s production run smoothly.
For example, there’s nine main women to interact with in this game. Each of them has at least three outfits (including nude), so that’s 27 character sets to make. In this case, 9 normal casual outfits, 9 swimsuits, and 9 nudes. The only one now left if Kimiko’s casual outfit.
There’s no obvious way to list what I’ve accomplished since the last blog update, so I’m just going to randomly list everything I can.
Basically, I’m now at the point where I can now just plow ahead with production.
This next week I’ll be able to get a moderate amount of work done, but nothing too dramatic. The week after that however, I should be able to get a crazy amount of stuff done.
Photographer Part 3
Just a small update today to let you know that progress is being made with Photographer Part 3.
Here are the first two opening images.
EDIT :
June 22nd update
Just an update to the post to say that there won’t be a blog post this week. I’m putting together the bulk of the game right now, so there’s not as much to show until it’s done. I’ll make a bumper post next week though.
Photographer part 3
Just a small post today to let you all know that things are progressing.
These are the final two ladies to formally introduce you all to. The blonde is named Cherise and the Asian lady is called Kimiko.
Long term followers of the site may remember Cherise from when I planned on doing Crystal part 3. Since that game is most likely going to be done in daz studio with g3 base figures, it seems appropriate to use her for this game.

Since we’re now all aware of dsp3000’s situation, it seems reasonable to just let him continue at whatever pace he can do. If he sends me something to post, I shall do so, but until then I would assume you’ll just be hearing from me on Fridays.
This week, dsp3000 returns with news
Hello
Firstly, please accept my apology for the lack of communication recently. This is a result of things both within and beyond my control. Suffice to say that these things pull at my time and my energy.
I’ve said before that game production is incredibly labor intensive and time consuming. As a part time hobby, I can’t always fully commit all my resources. Sometimes life just gets in the way.
I’m not ashamed to say that I also suffer from depression and low mood. The black dog hasn’t been far away recently, but I am getting through it.
All this may sound perhaps like I’m building up to an excuse but I guess that’s down to your own interpretation.
Part three of “A Date with Bridgette” isn’t finished yet… But you already guessed that right?
So far I’ve created over 1500 new images, but this still only puts me about half way through the episode.
It is going to be another huge chunk of the overall story.
Speaking of which, I am still fully committed to the Academy series as a whole. The current Bridgette sub-plot is integral to the full narrative.
I originally referred to this game as ‘Part 4a’, which was foolish as it kind of undermined it’s actual importance. With hindsight I should really have structured the evening with Bridgette as chapters five, six and seven. That would leave day five of the series as chapter eight…
Perhaps a different title would have avoided confusion and supressed the dismissive accusations that this isn’t really part of the Academy series.
I’ve included a few images to hint at the direction the plot is taking, the multiple scenarios involved and perhaps reassure a few naysayers that it’s not all about Bridgette, but it is all about the Academy.
Due to the circumstances I’ve briefly mentioned, I can’t really predict a completion date at the moment. I do intend to see this project all the way through to the very end.
I will update further when there is more to tell.
In summary, I’m not dead yet and neither is the Academy series!

And a little from me…
I’ve started the first batch of rendering work for Photographer Part 3. Here’s the new title card image…
