Very rarely. Actually I already decide what I'm going to render during the scene creation process.



I always change things during scene creation because only then I get an image of it and see what's possible and what could work better. Every scene has a base framework where I write what should happen, how, Sophia's reactions, the sense, some crucial dialogues and description etc. Then when I start working on it in Daz Studio I'll do the fine tuning. I'll add and adjust the dialogues. Plus the narrator descriptions. That's why I also said a couple of times why it's difficult to help in this case because I never know 100% how a scene should look like. I got a picture of it and know what should happen. But the details I only know when actual start working on it. But that scripts get edited during a creation process is perfectly normal and happens everywhere in the showbusiness. There's no movie or TV show which doesn't get a bunch of changes during the shooting process.

Thanks for taking the time to explain your process.

I love your work and I can fully understand you wanting to do the very best art that you can to tell the story that you intend.

I can't speak for everyone but personally what concerned me was nt just the additional number of renders, or the time that you might spend on each render. For me it was more that you thought both was a good thing, given that this was intended to be a small update, and thus if you overran by the same % on a big update, that would be a huge number of renders.

We are at Playable Day 12 out of 30 0 i.e. 18 Playable Days to go. If each update takes every four months, and each update is one-third of a Playable Day, then that is getting on for 18 years to completion of story. If each update takes every three months, then that is one and a third Playable Days per year, then it comes down to 13.5 years to completion. Obviously that does nt factor in any Updates being for an entire Playable day (which IIRC is the case with upcoming horse riding), or that if any shorter Updates take only 2 months, then these will obviously reduce the overall time to completion.

This is why several people have asked about your process, or are concerned about how much is planned out beforehand to maximise efficiency of rendering etc. We want you to continue to producing such beautiful work with gorgeous renders and that you enjoy doing so! I love the aim of producing an erotic VN where we can take the time to explore and understand a character's motivations.

My boss at work always quotes the adage "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail".

I just hope you can find a way to prepare and plan and manage the creation of these next 18 Playable Days as efficiently as possible, so that we can continue to enjoy the ongoing (mis)adventures of Sophia!!

Thank you.

There's such a surfeit of Dylan that sometimes we almost do forget. Having to live with the "2nd MC" approach means that some of us have to accept a bitter penance for continuing to follow this VN.

The last bonus teaser will be released soon. I need to prepare it in PS first but currently I also want to finally finish that event in DS. So, it will be out within the next 2 days.

Not today...

Told you it wouldn't be today, plus we don't know if it is just for high tier patrons so they maybe not be able to show it

Because SOME of y'all take every opportunity to remind everyone else about how much you hate Dylan - sorry ThE pYgMy - prompting the people who like Dylan's storyline to speak up in his defence.

BTW this isn't aimed at you farrah, you're chill, but you asked the question.

Honestly the difference between anti-Dylan and anti-Ellie sentiment in this thread is gargantuan. Blaming Dylan for the current update's delay, comparing him to other male-MC sleep molesters, someone was rocking fanart of Dylan in a coffin as their signature last year...

tbh I don't like the Ellie content in the game (just not into girl-girl stuff personally), but you know what I do when people start gabbing about Ellie, I keep my mouth shut and let people enjoy what they enjoy.

So, in the interest of balance -
Ellie's a Sociopath.

Dylan may be a manipulative shit, but he's never secretly drugged his sister with something that could cause permanent damage to her reproductive organs, plus waiting to do it right before going to a public place, plus bringing a friend along to maximize witnesses and ensure the shame is something Ellie remembers for the. rest. of. her. life.
This was after Ellie had been told the whole bathroom incident wasn't Dylan's fault by the way.

Dylan's never lied about his dating or sexual experience to try and look cool. He lies his ass off about his goals but he's not hiding who he is as a person from Sophia to try and edit his own self image.

He's never asked his sister for help, and then took the opportunity while she was helping him to poke through her room, found something embarrassing and shamed her about it. And if you think Ellie isn't going to bring up Dylan's magazines at some point later to get what she wants then you've really not been paying attention.

Also, can we talk about Ellie's excellent judge of character - sees a guy across the sauna who looks like if Date-rape was a person and all she can think is A) how big his dick is and B) how cool she'll look standing next to him.
Not to mention then dragging her mother into joining her in that lovely company.

disclaimer: I don't honestly believe any of the above, all conflict is in service of the story and should be appreciated in context. Just keep the Dylan hate to a dull roar and we'll see less of his defence.

As someone who likes both Sophia/Dylan and Sophia/Ellie I agree
