These guys just got lucky. Some youtuber gave them a bunch exposure and thats what helped propell them to where they are now. and they squandered that blessing. They got into this to make money, and it's clear as day. Most Devs do this as a hobby

Hah... It was the first AVN that get caught me to the genre in general. I bought the whole Season 1 on Steam in the end of summer in '22. Story was silly and I never considered it seriously, especially after look at another games of genre. But it's still my "first one" and I liked the characters and the renders/scenes. I checked updates out from time to time and was curios what is going on and why it takes so long now to release content. Then I learned they hired a whole crowded team and I supposed that it at least will let them to release a 4-5 EPs 2nd season at the end of '23/beginning of '24. But instead of hard work... I just checked the stuff they posting in Steam/news. Useless polls (never ask crowd what you have to do, but do what you planned or at least try to plan something... you'll never satisfy everybody, so the polls is useless, especially when you asking about a major parts of the game like scenes and content), "videos" and extended lewd scenes out of the game. And finally... they decided to release each episode by the parts... 3 parts of one episode !!! So it's mid of the spring '24 now, there are almost about 2 years past since Season 1 was completed and they only did 2 episodes for the new season... roughly 1 episode per YEAR. Having an a huge team, moved from "slow and bad" DAZ3D to "fast and good" Blender. They are SO proud they do a 4k/2k/HD resolution select and separate releases... lol... but content mostly rendered in 4k anyway and then downscaled to HD or 2k if needed... at least most of devs don't dare to do a 4K because of the game files size. There is nothing special or unique here - you just have to save file 3 times instead of 1. Same goes for lewd scenes. Rendered source is a 4k images anyway, then downscale it to what you need if you want.

So, actually, the real major update was the voicing of dialogues and scenes that's also spreaded for the whole first season. But again... it doesn't have to delay or interrupt the development of the new episode... you give voice actors the dialogues and actual game scenes (so they have an idea what moment they are voicing) and that's all. What it have with scenes posing, dialogues writing, rendering of still images, animations and coding? I mean, what the whole huge team did all this time? Even new episodes hadn't increased in size compared to Season 1. It would be ok if each of S2 new episodes would last like the whole 5 episodes of Season 1, but nope. They are short and each episode have only 1-2 lewd scenes. What a nonsense... So in short, for Julia content (even non lewd!) players had to wait for almost 2 years. And the recent reviews of EP2P3 says it all. It's quite short and didn't worth waiting. With such team and effort they'd better to release the whole season per year with episodes bigger than it was in previous season. Instead of this they do less in much more time now. And they still promise the Season 2 release on Steam, lol. Ok, with 3 episodes?

In general, a great example of why a big team and ambitions related to team size will always lead to the opposite effect. It's a pity, but if they don't accelerate several times while increasing the amount of content, this project is dead and this is what is called milking.

If you have access to their steam community, you could make a post asking to Oppaiman why his team with all the tech and money they have is way less productive and slower than a dev working alone like DPC
I would love ser his reaction to this question

They're a company... to expect the users well-being is on first place for a company is completly delusional.

I understand the situation around the developement and why ppl are kinda mad about it. But that doesnt negate the fact that this title is quiet cool. I play it because its entertaining which is the main reason why some should play something.

TLDR, because some one helped me for free, I try to earn money with it?!
Nothing against earning money with it, but praising the guy that helped them for not getting anything in return.... nah....
And where are the Fresh Women?!

Hello, my dear FreshMen!

We’re wrapping up another great week of work!

Season 2 Episode 3 is already in production, we added a lot of amazing tech in our pipelines, and I’ve got a lot of exciting news to share with you.

But first, I’d like to address an important lesson we learned this week.

Last year, we made a poll on Patreon, asking you what you thought about shorter sex scenes:
You must be registered to see the links


At that time, we were making Episode 2 Part 1, and the idea was that we could make shorter scenes in between bigger ones, in order to give you more sexy content in the updates. The poll was a success, and a vast majority of Patrons said we should add shorter scenes.

This week, we released Season 2 Episode 2 Part 3, and it wasn’t received as we thought it would be. The shorter sex scene, combined with the shorter duration of the episode (325 renders with many branching paths, instead of our average of 400+ renders with less branching paths), received poor reviews. I read all of your feedback, and it sent me into deep reflection.

First, I’d like to say that you’re right. This part is short. It has 325 renders, and depending on your choices, you won't see at least 60 of them. The sex scene is also shorter, and doesn’t have penetration or choices. And our marketing was not clear enough about the length of the episode and the release schedule, and the trailer gave too much of the episode away.
And for that, I’m sorry.

Our goal is to always give you the best experience possible, and a few players who played Season 2 Episode 2 Part 3 on release didn’t feel that way.

If you bought this part for $25 and regretted your purchase, please send me a message on Discord (f1r3f1r3f1r3) or e-mail me (lucas@oppaiman.com), and I’ll personally issue you a refund, no questions asked.
Having said that, I still vouch for Season 2 Episode 2 Part 3. It is fun, surprising and sexy. It has great quality renders and animations, moaning, voice acting, and a fun ending. It’s a bit short, though.

In order to compensate for that, we made an accelerated release schedule, which means this part will be cheaper faster.

Here’s how it’ll work:
  • April 13th, available for $20 tier
  • April 17th, available for $15 tier
  • April 20th, available for $10 tier
  • April 24, available for $5 tier (with $10+ lifetime contribution)
  • May 1st, available for $2 tier (with $10+ lifetime contribution)
We’re taking effective measures so these issues won’t happen again in the next episodes. We re-evaluated every sex scene planned for the next episodes, and extended a few of them. Furthermore, we are also fixing our branching paths to make sure that more content will be visible to everyone, instead of keeping it in branching paths. Our marketing team is creating clear guidelines for every release, that will be followed to a t to eliminate ambiguity.

With these measures, FreshWomen will be a better game and our communication will be clearer.
I’d also like to thank everyone who gave us these feedbacks, and for every review. Reading negative feedback is though, but it makes us evolve! I always say this to you, and it’s always true: It’s your feedbacks that lead us to the right path! So thank you for your honesty and for the reviews, for loving our games as much as we do, and for being the greatest community we could ask for. We’re truly grateful!
It’s your participation that makes us evolve!

Speaking of evolution, Season 2 Episode 3 is already in production, and we added a lot of cool tech in our pipelines!
Over the past few months, our R&D team has implemented two new features that will increase our productivity:
  • A new rig: our old rig had performance issues, and our artists and animators were working at, in average, a performance of 8 FPS inside the viewport on Blender. This, of course, made work slower. So since November we have been looking into MHX, an alternative rig, and last week we finalized this integration into our pipeline. With this new rig, our average performance in Blender now is around 48 FPS. This is a HUGE boost of performance, and our artists and animators are already benefiting from this upgrade.
  • Motion Capture: In December we bought a Rokoko Smart Suit Pro II, and in the last few months, we integrated it into our pipeline and recorded all the performances needed for FreshWomen Season 2 Episode 3 and Forbidden Fantasy Chapter 3 with two very talented actresses. This means we’ll have more realistic animations, and that they will be done faster.
These changes are already in effect in FreshWomen Season 2 Episode 3 and Forbidden Fantasy Chapter 3.
FreshWomen Season 2 Episode 3 Part 1 is already in production, and here’s where we’re at so far:
  • Script is done (except for Lily’s now extended sex scene)
  • Voice Acting is done (except for Lily’s now extended sex scene)
  • Storyboard is done (except for Lily’s now extended sex scene)
  • All characters are done (new rigs, clothing, hair, shaders, etc)
  • Scenes are now on blocking, with 2 scenes (of 6) already blocked
  • After blocking, these scenes will go thorough these stages: Lighting, Facial Expression, Cloth Simulation and Polish
  • Animators are finishing the last details in the Motion Capture pipeline, and will start animating next week
Season 2 Episode 3 Part 1 will feature a complete sex scene with Lily, with lots of animations, different positions and a cumshot scene. It will also feature a great resolution for the last conflict in Season 2 Episode 2 Part 3, and will begin our funniest arc yet!

I’m very excited for it, and can’t wait to share more with you!
As always, thank you so much for your love, care and support. It’s a huge pleasure to create these games for you.

See you soon,
f1r3

Motion capture in an AVN, my God fellas. I never expected it to get to this point. I am very curious how this will turn out.

I am glad they are trying to put out more content for us. Their updates are very short, and I think that is partly due to splitting it up into three different parts. They would do better to release a single update at 1000+ renders instead of three subupdates that barely last 20 minutes.
