Hey everyone! Just taking a little break from graphics work and thought I would post this. If you’ve played Serenity until the end of version 1.2, then you’ve met Crabby. Each of these AVN games has its own little community of people who become friends over time. And of course, you end up with some ‘inside jokes’. Small things that a new person wouldn’t understand right away. A couple of people have asked me what the deal is with the crab in Serenity, who made his debut annoying Lena at her beach only to get kicked back into the sea.

Here’s the honest truth… On the day I was rendering that scene, I had started watching Deadliest Catch again on Discovery+. I think most should be familiar with the show, it has been around for a long time now. It’s about crab fishing in the Bering Sea. I’m a big fan of the show, but way back in around season six after my favorite Captain passed away, I started to lose interest. Recently, I started watching them from the start again, and am now beyond the season where Captain Phil Harris passed away. And that night I had taken a break to eat and watch another episode. When I got back to my computer, I still had the beach scene up on my screen (with Trina and Mia talking) and I thought, “hey, I’ll put a crab in here just for fun”. So, Crabby will be seen here or there throughout the life of Serenity. He’s a bit of a gimmick, but what the hell? I came up with an idea and redid the images I had already rendered, adding Crabby and Lena in the background.

Another minor gimmick that has taken form recently is Captain Jack Sparrow… or more accurately, a bottle of Rum. I have no idea how this one got started. I think during some chatting in my Discord server. Anyway, I decided I would start hiding a rum bottle in some scenes just for the fun of it. So, 1.3 will have that. When you play, keep an eye out for Crabby, and also the rum bottle. They could be hidden in a few scenes. 😉
