Believe me, it's easier said than done.
For example, I don't have an Nvidia GPU and render using my Ryzen 7, I have to use pretty much every possible trick to speed up render times and I render in 720p.
After half an hour, I still get noisy renders.
I could try and let the render cook for more, but the quality/time spent ratio goes down a cliff pretty quickly.
So I'm forced to use an external program+photoshop to get rid of the noise, at the cost of losing details and sharpness.
One day I'll be able to afford an Nvidia GPU and I'm going to redo the entire game in 1080p. I'm saving every single render as a scene on an external drive just for that
Also, I suck at lighting things up properly, but I swear I'm trying to learn!

As I said...it takes time....time that is probably not worth spending....when it can be spent on extra renders that are 'good enough'. I've also never knocked your renders, I think they are fine and suit your story perfectly. As I said earlier, I think Ocean quality renders just wouldn't suit the story you're telling and the way you tell it personally.Believe me, it's easier said than done.

Curious though, what are you using to reduce noise? If you wanted to send me a couple of test renders I can denoise them for you (without losing quality) and send them back and you can compare them (I could even resize them to 1080 for you without image loss). I'm more than happy to help out if you'd like to consider it and ior pass on some tips. Been in this for 20 years heh, daz and P'shop are no strangers to me...neither is denoising/resampling/sizing images. Feel free to Dm if you wish to chat etc.

Your renders are fine, don't let people make you worry about them, what your doing after rendering within photoshop to denoise is what most devs already do even with better gpu'sBelieve me, it's easier said than done.

Daz has a denoiser and firefly remover built in, it helps if that turned on, but, a lot of the times, it's quicker to denoise in photoshop, saves a lot of time, same with resizing within photoshop, they are all easy and quicker, you can resize to 1440 or even higher from 720 without loosing any quality to your renders just in photoshop itself with little hassle without the use of AI

The intel denoiser. I tried the Topaz AI stuff but it always either left some noise behind or created weird artefacts, especially around the eyes.
I'll shoot you a DM when I get back to working on the game.
Oh I don't need other people to make me worry about them, I do plenty of that myself.
And it's not a bad thing, I want to improve and not get complacent, so I appreciate it when people have tips or genuine criticism that I can learn from.

HanakoXVN This is for you, As you like Cyberpunk 2077 and liked the other wallpaper I did with Violet in the car, I did promise I would do another one with cyberpunk theme, what better than Judy finding her one and only V iolet

Enjoying the game so far, few grammar niggles because I'm a pedantic fuck.
"A little bit carryed away" should be "a little bit carried away"
"From the moment I've seen you" should be "From the moment I saw you"
Those were the only things that stood out to me.

eh it's minor stuff... I'd usually post this on the dev's discord but I don't see one linked here
It's in my signature. Btw the proofreader actually caught those, but for some reason I missed her corrections so if you do point those out she'll yell at me. A lot.

gotcha, but you should add it to the OP
I do some "proofreading" on my own time occasionally, my best experience is about the gender of a fucking cat, I swear she(he?) changed genders 10 times in one update

I don't really Discord too much, I prefer to keep that separate. It's good your proofreader caught it though, but it's always nice to have an extra pair of eyes I feel.
Other than that, everything seems good, I enjoyed the game so far, and I'm looking forward to the next update.

Great game so far! Excited to see where the story goes. Really good quality for the Dev's first game! Will be keeping an eye on this!

I did the masturbation scene in the shower but the first scene is still locked, is my game bugged then?
