I gotta say, I also prefer the beardless look. Isn't MC supposed to be a young adult?
I know it's probably to offset the baldness, but when the reason for said baldness is his overly clingy demon friend always shaving it, maybe it would make more sense for him to slowly be growing that back than run around with perma stubble.

Hmm, I would've personally just stuck to my guns about the design, but you do you. (y)
I mean I said it before, I only did him all bald to save resources, cause I'm struggling with vram.
I found the least resource heavy beard, just a short geoshell non-strand hair and slapped it on him. Don't worry, next game on the new GPU the MC will be full sasquatch..

Man, all I want out of this game now is content with Lilith and it feels like its never going to happen at this rate.

A sasquatch MC certainly would be something fresh around these parts lol.

I'm in that boat with you, for sure. I'm just glad Empiric has gifted us such a bevy of beauties to tide us over in the meantime. Especially glad for the variety of firebrands! Lots of devs like to stall out lewding the best girl as long as possible. It can be frustrating, but as long as it's not stalled for too long, *coughgrandmashousecough*, it'll keep people coming back and be very rewarding when it finally happens.

My favourite 'meme' with these games is the order of sexual activities. You know, handjob, blowjob and all that as way to make string along and the actual sex like the endgame because it's 'realistic'. So really appreciated that MC already got girls to shack up with due to their already established backstory. Now that is actually more realistic storytelling.

Have you tried using Instances?

You make rendered out copies of characters, environments and props, saving you a lot of VRAM.

You just can't alter or pose them after, kinda like billboards but different.

But if you do it for your environments that could end up saving you a ton of resources.

That's very unrealistic, especially in scenes with a lot of renders, where the poses change with each render. I usually just downscale textures and reduce subdivision on the character if really needed.
Either way once I upgrade from 8gb vram gpu to 24 vram, I won't have to think about any of this anymore.

Its one of my biggest pet peeves with these kinds of games. #1 is a dev having a character clearly made to string along an audience as long as possible and #2 is having a game "force" the steps of a relationship when everything else about the game is pure porno.

I'm fine with it for characters in a story that make sense. A one on one romance between two characters who are getting to know each other? Great, fits in with the story.

Used in a game with a MC who's fucking 4 different girls, his sister, and his mom, while he has demon powers and is also a vampire fighting a war with gods? Come on like THAT is the one realistic thing you need to have in the game.

Make sure to have extra onboard RAM in case it goes over the VRAM you have, unless the CPU you get can handle it.

Even with a 3080ti and a 3090ti, things can get...unwieldy.

Gen 9 characters are a whole nother conversation :KEK:

I'm using g8.1. Also the rendering can only fallback onto CPU if it doesn't fit into VRAM, which you can disable. Which I do, because CPU rendering is insanely inefficient.

Uncommon information: Once upon a time, hospitals required non-sparking shoe wear, because some rooms have higher oxygen content which could be explosive or a serious fire hazard. Spark + fuel + temperature (metals a little different) BOOM. So your model walking around in High heels... Its like movies that claim they had military advisors and the director and or production managers decided to ignore them, and the experienced military personnel spot many errors.
Played to end of current version 0.6 heck of a place to end, reminds me of 1/2 hr weekday tv series, hanging you on a scene of interest. You so bad!

Man. You need to go outside and have a nice long walk, have a drink, enjoy the clouds or something.

To be honest, i never understood why people complained about this MC. I thought he looked good from the beginning. He just looked young, it was fine.

Now, the guy from your last game 'Through Spacetime' - HE looked wierd. And even he didnt look THAT bad, it was just that his eyes were wide open all the time. I really liked that game, destroying the galaxy to simp over a hot blue alien? Awesome.

Anyhow, all that to say that i hope the comments from the whiny babies dont get to you too much. Its YOUR game, if you want a MC who looks like a teenage heartthrob or a manly bearded chad then more power to ya - I'm sure it will be good regardless.

And thanks for the update~
