another alternative instead of rendering multiple pictures is to have "portraits" of the characters inside or left-to the text-box. that way u can use 1 picture and change just the portraits when someone talks. sure more coding but it can save a lot of time later in the game.
I agree with you, dialogues, normal interactions between the characters could be handled this way. Or you have a blurred background (you still know it's the bathroom, or the subway, etc.) and use only standalone, full person renders for handling this. Also this would make it possible to use more different outfits, because you just need to render the person itself in different postures with the new outfits! And the spicy scenes could be full renders.

yeah. like rpgmaker games. that have standing-cg and event-cg.
would save a lot of rendering time.

in my game we do that. we dont have background at all. so the artist is just making the character/poses/standing/event. (transparent background so u can see the game-rendering)
this to save time, otherwise it would take a lot more time and cost more as well.

Render count was quite conservative, which is good up to a point but does have some drawbacks.
The Dinner scene for example, we don't need a dozen different angles and closeups for every line spoken so that saves you time - but the dialogue in that scene went on long enough for me to notice that the render hadn't changed.
Just bouncing that scene back and forth between two separate renders would work well to break up the scene a bit.
The dinner scene will change, I skipped those renders because there are multiple dinner scenes and I'm looking into combining the graphics for all of them. While the main characters outfits change the others don't, so I might possibly be able to save time on reusing some images if I set them up properly.

I didn't expect the intro change. Hot as hell. Fuck, I generally didn't expect the pace. She's already having those kinda thoughts? I'll have to try the vanilla files again to compare, I was too quick to delete the rar.
Well, I'm primarily here for the action and I gotta say that was damn good. I hope you continue messing with her clothes because the added depth to those hips and nips is fucking stellar.

For the drunk scene; yeah I agree with Atlas. Maybe the uncle could be the responsible sort waking up early and being forgiving over her carelessness after some beers with the guys. If you want something sexy and intimate you could have one of the bros get up for water or something and help her.

the single pony tail look works so much better than the twin tail style.

then the hair down for the shower? perfection.

future idea would be for her wardrobe, Amy did say it’s all old and may not fit anymore which is the perfect excuse to go buy more (or getting freebies from creepy shop owners) and modeling new outfits and lingerie to start an onlyfans to get money to help out her uncle and aunt.

if i remember correctly, Matt is the one with the camera and i’m sure he would be only too happy to help her out with creating content for Amy’s only fans, getting money to help out the family, buy even more outfits, and of course getting her comfy to take nude photos.

Here is the first try of the mod, 203 images and 3 edited scripts. Be prepared for a few bugs, lot's of spelling mistakes, and old images showing up when they are not supposed to, I'll have to read up on how updating works in renpy. But it seems to run and you get to see all the images.

Just unzip and copy game folder to your game directory.

Love what you've got so far, it's enough of the same game that it feels like Project Sage. It's also different enough with the added scenes and changed dialog that it doesn't feel like it's just a straight up remake in Daz. Please keep it coming, can't wait to see where you go from here.

It might not be the most constructive comment, but I am going to say it anyway. FAN-TAS-TIC! Just fantastic! I am looking forward to future releases. I especially liked the way you implemented accidental nudity and taking it over to intended flashing. Thanks a lot!

I thought I'd share this with you, although she'll be wearing panties in the very drunk end of day one, I liked the lighting so much I had to do a full nude :) View attachment 2010965
Comparing to the shower spy image, this Amy looks with more vibe as the original. Original Amy is slim with muscles. Your Amy definitely looks more healthy with this thigh. However, I feel the upper body is a bit too short?

Really like what you did so far. Looking forward to your good work. Good luck!

edit: after this comments, I realized the mod is there, just consider this comment is purely based on the two image I saw.

One thing I did notice -
New Amy is more tan than OG Amy.

Does that mean you're planning on skipping the whole Tanlines vs No-Tanlines choice that comes up later in the game Gunsothegreat ?
It would mean less renders in the long run.

What choice is that? I just remember the conversation with Lorenzo, but you have to make that choice before continuing. Did I miss something ?

No, you're right.
I was mixed up.

I remembered a brief double-up of renders, it was a shower scene with tan-lines and without tan-lines - but looking back I think it was a post on Paperwork's Patreon, asking if patrons wanted Amy to get tan-lines or not in the beach event he was prepping for the following update.
Sorry for the mix up.

of what I remember the beach has:
- to connect with the kids so later u can babysit them at home. only 1 time, after that at the house of the kid.
- the 3 kids that are bullied by some older ones, a few times.
- brothers and a bunch of others meet, I think 1 time only.
- 2 dudes and a girl if u take the other route (not the 3 kids) theres 2 events at the beach with those 2 dudes.
- some crap happens by the bar, with some old folks. doesnt seem to be much. nothing else.

Im not sure I dont remember the 2 bully if they are the same as the 2 dudes and that girl.

After a quick search through the basic scripts, I can't find any mention of them, So I was thinking of cutting them. Day 2 is actually rather boring, it´s just setting up things for future events. Loranzo with the fashion show, the babysitting boy´s, the meeting of the rich jerks. There´s the clothes shop event and the train gropers. The babysitting thing does not need to happen that day, and I´m wondering If I should do that at all, it really didn´t impact the story in any way it just leads to the roleplaying event which I don´t particularly like. I´m just using what little time I have this weekend to plan how to do day 2 and create the needed characters.
