Look, I am not a competitor who's trying to put down your game here. I am just a user who played many games and who's able to compare. I don't know anything about rendering and coding. But I think I have a couple of eyes to see and decide if something is good or not. I believe that you are trying hard to do a better work but I think you need to improve your skills more and more. As you said you started from zero. And believe me, judging by the quality you are delivering, you still have a long way to go. I'll show you some examples and not from the first release :

Frankly, You think that's a good render?
can you see the disproportion between the head and the body? a very big head and a child body. how can you put such a horror in your game when you pretend you are meticulous and perfectionist?

Or that one. check the MC posture and the hip position. you think that's realistic? she looks like a disabled person.

look at these terrific renders. very bad hair position, disproportionate body (the water effect doesn't do that), The MC looks more like a bad designed doll than like a human.
I am not saying here that your whole game is bad or all your renders are terrific. Actually AWAM is in the top 10 in my opinion. but i don't like when some people (especially the suspicious Farrah and Robin85) scream that it's the best ever and the renders are all amazing. such compliments will slow down your progress and learning.
If you really want to make an "
ambitious, realistic, detail-oriented, quality-focused adult game" you still have a lot to learn especially from older games and more experienced devs. and as I said last time you can learn a thing or two about nice renders and very realistic characters from Anna exciting affection (sleepdeep).
