I am really torn between June and Zelda...boy that is a difficult decision for me. So far I am progressing with both but I am sure that D day will come soon as I already had the point in which Paige thinks and eventually decides against going further with MC because she knows that MC was in a date with Zelda.

Man, this game doesn’t have a single flaw.
The music: 10/10
The intimate scenes: 9/10
The story and dramatic plot: 10/10
The music: 10/10
The girls: 9/10 and they look realistic.
Sense of humor: 10/10
Atmosphere that makes you fully immerse yourself in the story.
Even though sci-fi games aren’t usually my thing, I got addicted to this game.
I hope it doesn’t get abandoned or ended—I really hope it lasts as long as possible.
BTW Does anyone know when the next update is coming?

I just ran into what I consider a fairly common flaw: let's make the MC do something extremely stupid, like emailing proprietary source code to a cam girl he met in a sex shop couple of days ago because she modded a dildo once. Seriously, dude, Kindra helped you when you were down, trusted you with her secret and you do this?
Also, and this is personal preference (to each their own), I'm not really into tattoos and peircings, so there goes about 50% of the girls...
Also my pet peeve list (most likely not complete):

Sorry for the late post today. I've been working on a scene that's nearly 400 renders long and I just wanted to finish it and get it done. Kinda got tunnel visioned there lol. When I was checking renders the other day (because sometimes you get paranoid and want to make sure DAZ didn't crash) thought it was a fun feature (or maybe its always been there.) Where DAZ shows you how long a shot took to render.
Digi, what am I looking at? Scene took 20 minutes (on average) and 12 of those minutes was rendering, the 10 minutes was opening the scene before it started to render. Disregard the one that took an hour, lol. Some shots I render in 4K. As you can imagine, this chapter has a number of scenes with the INK girls. Normally my scenes take about 1-2 minutes to open, but the more objects in a scene, the longer it can take. I use some tricks to optimize scenes. The Halloween party was a nightmare to deal with. So when it came to the mall scene in CH5, I tried to come up with a better way to execute a scene full of people, but it was mostly background characters which let me get away with a lot. The Famers Market was done in Blender because it was a little different this time. The Famers Markets I go to tend to be pretty packed and shots were really tight for this scene. Blender offered me tools to execute it (though introduced its own problems.). For this Chapter though, it's a lot different. These are main characters that I can't exactly just throw in the background and DoF them out completely. Still, learning from the Halloween Party, I'm managing them fairly well. I do run into the memory issue. Meaning I can't have all the girls in one shot, so I have to storyboard my scenes with that in mind. So if you see a shot and are thinking "Hmm, isn't June sitting right there?". She is still there, with a character in front of her you'd think to yourself her arm or something should be there. I had to hide her from the render due to VRAM constraints. So, not an issue perse...just a technicality in framing shots.
Anyways, glad this scene is finished. Going go to grab a late dinner and unwind before calling it a night and back to the grind tomorrow.
Have yourselves a great week and stay cozy!

Holy fuck! An average of 25 minutes just to make a render?! No wonder it takes 6 months for a single update.

it gotta be boring and though.
I have huge respect for the developers—the honest ones, not the exploited ones.

Some one like DPC has 9 PCs with 5090s in them all slaved to a master PC and it still takes him up to 5 minutes to render a single picture at times depending on its complexity. I don't think Digi has anything close to that set up so, naturally, things will take awhile!
It is also why many, would be, Devs give up on their games after the initial release. Because the six months they took to make the 0.1 version 3 or 4 months of it were probably mostly setting up scenes and rendering them 24/7. Makes your electricity bill sky rocket. It's not really a profession you can walk into with out already having money in the bank. Otherwise you will just be in the red and in a worse position than when you started if it isn't an over night hit.

Also remember that each chapter he does is around 5 thousand
renders a chapter. A big chapter for many Devs is around 2 to 3 thousand.
Some have hit 7 thousand{think that was DPK last update} Of course
he's almost done with season 3 and their are a ton of LI's{not complaining lol!}
Crazy that just 1 scene took 400 renders.....you can tell he was happy that
was over with.

So I'm just at the start of the party, right after the failed Artemis test. And I have to add another point (or at least half a point) to the "MC does something stupid" column. This annoyed me so much that had to quit the game for the day.
I will also add some fuel to the "code wars" fire, in case I haven't angered enough of the community: MC seems to be using Python, further proving his coding superiority over Cassandra.
Oh, and in other news, Zelda might be into me. Not sure what to make of it.

25 minutes for a render is actually not too bad at all compared to what some other devs have mentioned in their logs.
As for being boring, nobody actually sits around and wait so there's nothing boring about it. There are so many other things that needs to be done in creating a game.
