Xephon0930 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 how are you getting on with the video sizes Figured out. Simple really, just had to change output quality in Camtasia from 100% to 70%. No noticeable difference to the average human eye...but like 30 gigs smaller final file size. I actually have released the old Chapter 5 on Mega in 1080 res. 4.75 gb total size Link here Cannot seem to download the folder link.I tested and it worked for me on my PC earlier. On iphone now so can't test again. Yeah. I am sort of stuck on my iphone. A droid to be exact. It's probably a LONG download but it should work
dryuya Posted July 18, 2014 Author Posted July 18, 2014 Awwwwwwwww shiet, checked back on this via my bookmarks just knowing in my gut that this glorious piece of Skyrim smut will never truly die. Really, really glad to see you back in show-biz, dryuya! EDIT: Are the links to the older episodes gone for good? I lost Episode 1 and 2 to a reformat some time ago. Should still be around for direct download in the OP, on NM or Xvids I am glad to be doing this again. It's pretty much my main hobby now. It's also teaching me a little about...everything Modding, console manipulation, video editing, character design, writing etc all have proven useful skills at some point while working on the new and old stuff.
Rattlesnark Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Should still be around for direct download in the OP, on NM or Xvids Ah, you're right - they're there. In all my excitement I missed the spoiler-box underneath. Wish you all the best for your productions.
dryuya Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 Batch screen dump for the week. Will have filming done for sure by end of next week. Still so much editing to be done afterwards though. And 50% or more of the screens provided will probably never be in the final movie(s). But still, some of them seemed a waste not to at least share. Massive image dump inside
marxxe Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 you job is great.. congratulation.. it was very cool if you use some monsters/animals to.... human-human sex is cool but not great.
dryuya Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 you job is great.. congratulation.. it was very cool if you use some monsters/animals to.... human-human sex is cool but not great. Human-human sex is why we're all here But as for beasts, I will. The old ones didn't have them because the animations didn't even exist when they first started. Later when they did and I'd started work on Ch6 of the old stuff I had several scenes in mind for Vampires and other beasties. You can see in the unfinished work on that the Chaurus scene I did. I'll get them in, probably even in the first act of the new movie. But I want such scenes to have a reason behind them. It's okay to have a girl getting used by a troll in his cave but there then has to be an explanation of why that will matter to the plot, and perhaps even why a troll would want to have sex with a human at all since that's more or less not really consistent with the established nature of trolls. So a little build up of why this troll is different becomes necessary in my mind...making the scene take longer to establish.

Massive image dump inside What enb did you use for these pictures? They look amazing ! Opethfeldt ENB...supposedly one that's focused on making skin look nice more than the outer environment. It was a tradeoff I wanted. Also looking it up just taught me finally the right way to spell it.
darkdill Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Will you be including HDT physics? Also, love the design for Ravelette. Reminds me of Princess Peach in a way.
dryuya Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 Yep HDT is working for all characters involved. Like I said I'm well and caught up on most adult mods...I think. Unless there's an HDT labia that opens upon penetration...which will irritate me since I've already filmed so much. And yes Ravelette is the "Princess Peach" archetype in a nutshell. Easy to see I guess, like the old stuff I'll try to spread around the characters "themes" so that all different types are represented.
bk87 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Just watched the opening video, it was awesome! Can't wait for the full episode. Seems like the lighting has improved. Not sure if it was just me but in the old potema chronicles everything seemed really dark.
dryuya Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 The Prologue for "The Jarls Request" Chronicle is finally complete! it features a few scenes, and starts off providing the premise of the story for the main acts. I'm once again faced with the dilemma of having written myself into something too elaborate for what was planned, (that being an original stand alone movie). I don't think I'm capable of keeping it simple The prologue was MUCH longer than I had originally planned (by comparison "Succubus Assassin" was like 7 minutes and this ones is 20+), and I'm guessing when I finally finish the acts of "Jarls Request" they will be longer as well. Guess that's why a standalone movie for me is impossible...too many details and too much attempt at getting an elaborate multilayered plot inserted. So I say whatever, I'll just go with it. I'm having so much fun now with my freedom to work on this that I might as well go crazy with it and do it right this time around. I've determined at my current work rate the acts will each take like 5-6 months to complete unless I get a few good days in to really push out a lot of work. Fair warning...I find I'm leaning more towards "plot with porn" this go around than "porn with plot", which is what the old series was. I will provide timestamp locations for scenes of "importance" though...so as to help those only looking for certain parts. I'll have the 1080p upload ready in a few hours. NM and XVid to follow when I feel like it.

Not sure if it was just me but in the old potema chronicles everything seemed really dark. Because 1080p makes a huge difference. Sure there's magelight and ENBs that don't darken things so much. But honestly 1080p is the main reason what I see when I record directly translates over to the final end video.

Glad you were able to improve the overall quality as well as the lighting. Downloading the new release right now thanks!

I'd of pulled all the PC releases from that site but some people seem to like that place for whatever reason.
Rattlesnark Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Congrats, and thanks for the prologue release, I'll make it a point to share my thoughts on it once I'm finished. Might I suggest separating the download into smaller archives, perhaps 500mb parts?. I have worries waiting out a 2GB+ Mega download on my 100kb/s download rate all the while hoping nothing fudges up, considering it's non-resumable (is it? I remember Mega not providing that luxury). It's only a matter of convenience for slow connections though, I can just leave the download on overnight just as well.

I'm debating a 720p release similar to what I did before as well Just to warn people, Prologue isn't exactly sex heavy. Later stuff will be but I'm still going to try and balance plot and sex a little better this go around.
Xephon0930 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I really miss the old series and the characters in it. Oh well. There's not much anyone can do about that now.
dryuya Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 I really miss the old series and the characters in it. Oh well. There's not much anyone can do about that now. Sorry, but there was no way it was ever going to last. It was born from a unplanned success and made up on the fly after I saw people liked "Red Thief". Truthfully I never had a very good plan for it...and when I realized I wanted to make something a little more in depth the existing structure of the old stuff wasn't very helpful as a place to start. Then my wife caught on to it, we moved, and I changed computers...all things that meant the mod files supporting it got lost again and again. I wasn't using Mod Organizer then either so it was a pain. I lost motivation entirely If I hadn't completely rebooted everything from scratch it's likely I never would have done this again. Now that I have a consistent and pre written plot, MO, ect ect and the freedom/time to work on it with a new job (that has me up the hours my wife works) I feel this is all worth doing again and this time sticking with. The old stuff was just a trial run in a way. I'm sorry about the characters...but if it's any consolation there will be a ton of moments in this new stuff where characters other than just the eleven mentioned get used. Sexy NPC followers from mods are one thing, but also some character looks in the old series shouldn't be hard to recreate if need be.
Dapper Dan Pomade Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Just out of curiosity, is the wife okay with it now, or is it still a clandestine thing? Also, is the title 'Chronicals of Potema' more of a legacy thing at this point? Sounds like you're taking an entirely different story approach.

Yeah we work entirely different shifts now...it might be subject to change again later but it's doubtful. As for the second question Actually it's not a legacy thing. In fact this one will follow pretty much the same "rules" as the first in many ways as far as her resurrection will go.

It's only a matter of convenience for slow connections though, I can just leave the download on overnight just as well. I added several links for the different options to the OP I worry about size limitations on my Mega account down the road, so I might do away with the single 2.24 gb movie file (and future ones like it) in favor of the split archives. Just got tired of having people asking how to extract multiple archives before so was trying to bypass the issue before it began. (never got why so many asked honestly, aren't there tons of mods out there that require basic knowledge on how to extract stuff? Oh well, beside the point)

Rattlesnark Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Ah jeez, the size difference from just odd 360p (that my ignorance talking, no idea how the 360 difference between 1080p and 720p work, haha!).181mb is more my speed (pun intended). Thanks for the effort in whatever it is you do to cut down the video quality and size. Just got tired of having people asking how to extract multiple archives before so was trying to bypass the issue before it began. (never got why so many asked honestly, aren't there tons of mods out there that require basic knowledge on how to extract stuff? Oh well, beside the point) Did you have instructions up in red, bold and size 48 text on the OP sandwiching the download links the last time you had archived files? Some people just don't read very well, huh?
dryuya Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 I need a good beast/demon race that clearly says "demon" and still oozes sexuality. Or even better, a follower mod that provides a character that does those things. Also, I'd like to accept any other follower mods...provided they are standalone in almost every way, compatible with any kind of Skyrim install, and aren't the kind with monster tits or ass that take up 1/2 the screen (like some seen around here). Even better if they use body types not already listed on the characters in OP. I find there's always a need for good toons to fill in side roles...but I'm tired of making them or using the common ones found on the Nexus. If anyone contributes I'd be grateful and give your character a role in future movies. Edit: And not just women either. Actually handsome/young looking male followers are in even GREATER demand than females for this series.
