Thanks a lot, bro, but could the picture be a bit bigger? I'm no eagle. (I tried to enlarge it, but it's very blurry.)

That looks like my wife's (Zahra) ass but I could be wrong here. Being involved in polyamorous relationships for so long, it is not easy to keep track

is kateryna..

 

[JohnF95zone]

is kateryna..

All is good, they are all in one big 'harem' family after all. It is just I always think about my wife, Zahra first and foremost

No, no that's not Zahra, it's Igor's ass. I was really surprised and happy to see the dev decided to add such a good fella to Zaton's harem.

Igor is crossdressing now just one update later??? That's not very Igor thing to do but whatever, welcome Igor to the harem.

I got around to this one again and just did the scene after the hive. I am wondering if Fangs is always going to be part of the mutant scenes? She's fine and all but I was really hoping for a solo scene with Mantis. If she is going to strong arm herself into every action with them I'll likely just avoid the mutant scenes altogether. Also I think I'm seeing a pattern. The two threesome scenes that I've come across so far have not been animated, basically just a montage of stills and text. I personally think it makes them much less enjoyable.

I also think the side quests could really do with some attention. It seems they have been stagnant for what feels like forever. Aside from the Shani content, that I haven't tried yet, the game is in the same state as it was the last time I played it. Also, if the player doesn't choose to view scenes from her POV is the update even smaller, or is it a none optional part now?

i agree thats probably the one thing in this i havnt liked so far i like mantis so i wanted to go the route to get her but i really am not a fan of fang and would rather avoid her altogether

I feel the same. The animations added to this one are pretty lack luster as well. The lewd ones anyway. I doesn't make any sense to me, they rendered fully animated environment videos so they know how to animate with Daz but the "adult" animations never seem to get any better. If anything they've gotten worse. It's definitely the weakest part of this project.

Can you share it with the people? You will be our hero! Well, or send me a private message... you will be my personal hero ^__^

Z is learning animation as he develops the game. Posing 3 characters to animate instead of 2 is exponentially more complicated, not to mention demanding on the hardware. There are limitations to what's possible depending on the equipment and time limits.
Could he create a 3 person animation? Possibly, with a few weeks of time to do the work and learn what he might need to.. time that would be allocated exclusively to that, at the expense of the rest of the update.
Z is the main Dev and does at least 95% of the visual work on his own.

Shani's story arc is crucial to the development of the overall plot. If you've chosen not to see her scenes that's on you. It's pretty obvious that updates that include her current mission will seem smaller if you don't play her content.

I'm not clear on what you mean by side quests being stagnant.
There's been plenty of content in the last few updates, and if you read the Dev update, you must have seen that there's more coming.

I love Shani Arc, too bad is ending sooner that I wish but all is good considering that probably the game will move on to the "Desert Stalker Phase 2" after Shani Arc is done I guess .

I realize its more demanding as well as complicated, never said it wasn't. My point is comparing the none lewd animations to their counterparts is night and day. I know it's not the only part of the game but it is part of it and it doesn't get the same care put into it as the rest of the game. Take the Raider scenes for example. Two to three characters at a time plus props and vehicles all animated together. It doesn't seem like it's a resource problem to me. Or a matter of difficulty.

I have chosen to view Shani's POV, what I asked is if it is a non optional part now. I did finally try it but it's not developed very far right now anyway so it doesn't add too much. I was just curious. I'm also wondering how they plan to have her arc impact the game if someone does choose to just be the original stalker. If it is such a vital part of the overall plot it may have been better to just make her a part of the game without that option.

I've been behind the dev updates and rarely read changelogs so I can avoid spoilers. I can't say how the side quest have been treated overall but they are the same as the last time I played regardless. I don't know what others consider "plenty of content" but I don't think any of them are more than three, maybe four, events long. All of their available content combined is probably less than fifteen minutes or so depending on how fast you read.

It kind of is a matter of difficulty, in the sense that it needs a lot more pampering. Animating in DAZ is finicky and borderline more fun than dragging your balls across broken glass.
The key difference between "action" sequences and sex sequences is the tolerance of clipping when you animate stuff.
E.g. having a car wheel go 5cm into the ground during an animation is far less noticeable than having the MC's hand go inside the belly of the partner.

Especially when you want to animate uneven movement -so it's not robotic as fuck-, you tend to get all those weird issues like moving the waist causing the hands to float away and such. Or make bodies touch precisely but not clip into each other. And the more people you add, the more things can go wrong in an exponential fashion.

That said, I'm not saying that animated threesomes won't happen or something, it's just that it is not an 1-to-1 analogy when it comes to complexity.

Shani's POV is very much optional. In fact, if you choose to not see events as Shani when you're first asked (around the whole first Mutants visit / Shani meeting the Queen) you will not have the option to play as Shani in the Zone if I recall correctly.
Still, those events happen regardless, although you miss on the details for now.

I know it's not a 1-to-1, I didn't mean for it to come across that way. What I was trying to express overall was the fact that the dev clearly puts effort into the project, it's just not the same effort everywhere. Even the simple missionary scenes are pretty much a video of genitals moving around. Then there are the ones mentioned that aren't animated at all. Something as simple as a hand job. It's very inconsistent is all I'm saying.

I think my review shows that I have enjoyed the overall experience but I'm not one to ignore something's short comings. It doesn't help anyone, be it the dev or the players. I have also notice a pretty massive increase in exposition as well as an overall change in the MC's dialogues. He kind of feels like a different character to me.
