that will be be choice of the player, correct?
I tried to read and respond to all the posts if I can. I enjoy hearing from players and I appreciate honest feedback and criticism.
Thanks for giving the game a play and letting me know what you think. Cheers mate!
Just to reiterate something I mentioned in a post some long time ago. Any political or social leanings of a character in my game are simply an attribute of that character. My stories have no meaning beyond entertainment and even when a character exists on one side of a line or another, it's simply the character's personality in-game.
It's nothing but fictional characters talking to fictional characters. It's never me talking to the player (unless it's on the forum here like right now. In which case I remain as apolitical as possible in the interests of my business.
Correct. It depends not only on how you play your interactions with Emily, but also whether or not you have "Infidelity" turned on or off.
I apologize if I sounded like I was trying to mislead. She's very obviously there to appeal to a certain fetish. All the girls are. What I was trying to say by a "play on pure sexual fantasy/fetish " was that I wouldn't be satisfied if her only scene was to walk in like "Hi, I'm a chick with a dick, wanna fuck?" and then you bang her and go on your merry way. In my mind's eye that is a pure play on the fetish itself and I try to avoid that kind of simple pandering. I much prefer complex pandering.you wrote the scene really well imo even if i'm not a fan of the surprise factor. even with little content she's amongst your most interesting characters. what slightly bothers me, and this is meant as constructive criticism and i don't hold it against you as i can understand the why is that it is in fact fetishized. the fact that she's a character that can be turned on or off just because she's trans constitutes a fetish. if she was a character like every other that you can simply reject would be better imo. that's the difference between rejecting a character vs rejecting the whole concept.
but i really don't hold it against you and honestly i'm just happy you decided to include a trans character in your amazing game. also i guess this way we have Lita too so i shouldn't complain
The intent I was trying to explain was that yes, she's here to satisfy a fetish, but she has do more than just that. She has to be a legitimate character with goals, a plot, a purpose and a personality.
But the reason for being able to turn her off as well as a number of other "kinks" is that some players are super sensitive about it. I won't lie, I stopped playing Big Brother after the whole Eric debacle. As someone who doesn't put up with shit in real life, I didn't like being forced to play a character who was powerless. I kept thinking to myself, "Punch him in the face and when he hits you back, tell your mother he tried to finger your butt hole!" But I digress....
Some people do like that sense of powerlessness though. Which is why with Nanami I try to give you the choice to take control, or be controlled. And as a writer, when I'm working on something that I don't have a personal taste for, but I manage to pull it off and it satisfies those who do, then I feel like my craft has gotten that much stronger and I feel like it's made me a better writer.
I'm really not into Trans stuff, but in designing Lola and writing her character, building her renders, and learning about who she is, I think it not only challenged my narrative ability, but probably made me a little more of an empathetic person in the process. I very much look forward to adding additional scenes for her when the time comes to tell the rest of her story.
I appreciate the compliments.Well you did a really good job, she is certainly one of the more interesting characters in the game. And as i told before one of my top 2 favorite sex scenes.
I kinda agree with you. But i get it why the toggle is needed, not everyone understand or is open enough to the idea you can just avoid said scenes.
Plus the toggle factor really is an easy implementation. I did learn from the Lita/Lola scenes not to drift too far from the central plot though or it takes twice as long to produce, but still, I'm very happy with the results.
I think it's awesome though that different people are enjoying the game for different reasons. It confirms that my goal to reach several player types simultaneously is working, even if means a bit of a reduction in development speed. (Definitely going to cap the next game at four or five love interests and leave all the other girls as optional side characters with short stories.)
Yes. With the vocal requests for a non-sexual "friendship" path, I'm going to leave alternative routes through the story that let you continue your interactions without engaging in intercourse. After all, whether you bang her or not...

To be fair, I don't know if that's a spoiler or not. If you played the latest release, you know already.

Just what and why?
Without going into all the technical crap, there was a function that got redefined and the new implementation wasn't rolled out through the entire script.
Ok, that's perhaps more technical than I thought it would be. Let me try again, I fucked up.
For now the fix is to just turn off pregnancy. There are currently no visible impacts from this option yet but the mechanics have been built for future support.
The code has since been corrected but there are so many behind the scenes changes coming in the next update it didn't make sense to roll out a single bug fix.
When the next version hits in a few weeks it'll be corrected.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
Cheers mate and let me know if you have any other questions.
Yeah, I figured I could get the 'info' from either of them, so after deciding not to bang Lita, I thought helping Lola was a more appealing option (also, funnier considering that is the guy's favorite). It actually took a bit of work to go back and get her in the game, had to roll back a few saves before switching the option would count. XD
Also, I always was about helping someone down on their luck when I can.
I was just curious if we will see her after she gets the work done that we are paying for. I doubt I will want to bang her even then, but I am sure some of us would.
Normally, I am all about banging almost everyone I can, but at least for now, I guess I am just waiting to see if the wife comes back, and maybe we can have some nice consensual group sex with the other women...

Thanks for the quick reply. And I did get it.
Be seeing the next one when it gets released. Good luck!
And I noticed a lot has been removed since I last played the game. Removed to be added later? No content with the wife or the girls? I see lots of images and video in the folders but I only got to see The maid and Nanami and the Hooker/Stripper. Amanda, saw no lewd stuff. Normal talking.

Only five?
Seriously how many are considered love interests? All of them who appeared so far?
No idea about said debacle since i never player Bib Brother but lack of choices can sometimes be annoying, even in porn games. Still remember one dumbass character who couldn't connect the most simple of dots to reach a conclusion in one game very popular around here but which i won't name.

i figured that would be the case-just wanted to make sure. some games have the illusion of choice.

Just finished post production work on 150 renders today. Scene 1 of 3 for v1.0.7b is complete.
I have a couple of bug fixes to take care of in the morning but I should have it uploaded for $10+ patrons to play test for additional fixes sometime tomorrow afternoon.
There's gonna be a lot to test. Between the in game database, cheat menu and music, it's been a long haul to get here.
I'll finish up Scene 2 of 3 hopefully by next week, after that it's just finishing up the renders for Nanami's new sex scene and v1.0.7b will be complete.
Also going to have some development polls coming up soon for $5+ patrons. There are a few more features I'm interested in including (cheat menu type-stuff). Too much to release it all at once, so I'd be interested in knowing what you'd like to see rolled out first. So keep an eye out for that poll soon.
Getting close friends. And now, I sleep.
Cheers mates!
Sleep hard, and dream of sexy women...

Sounds like an interesting workflow and good choices for your needs.
Adding back the detailed shaders/textures later in the process is more typical of professional 3D scene creation workflows I've seen, so you're in good company.
For me, I group objects based on logical sets that will likely be worked in relation to each other, which implies that I disable visibility for any groups which are not being worked at the time (unless a visual context is needed for the active group). For canned scenes, even those will get broken into subgroups, because hiding non-essential objects until later render tests can help keep the Daz workspace more responsive. Slowdowns after hundreds of objects are added can be such a hassle.
For each group, I quickly go through the list of isolated lights (or sometimes light groups) to see and adjust their general effect on that set of objects. Typically this lends to only minor adjustments among the lights when the full set is enabled with the larger scene. While I realize this doesn't show the results of indirect lighting in most cases, the light isolation tests are for ensuring lights are meeting the basic needs of their intended purposes: reaching destinations, softness or hardness of shadows, etc.
After all the groups and individual lights look OK, sets of groups are enabled (i.e., minor ones such as snow in the air or such are disabled until final render) including all the lights/light groups. This usually reveals the need for some final lighting adjustments and maybe some color bounce lights for enhancing material shadows (see this marvelous book, I have the hard copy:

).Since I usually render Daz scenes with Octane, I tend to keep basic materials in place from the start. Why?
Well, just for giggles I created a test scene by following your basic workflow above, using characters from Genesis through G8. For Iray using default settings (i.e., 95% covergence, 1.00 quality, etc.) the scene with all character materials enabled required 2:45 to reach final state, but when all character materials were switched to a single grey material it dropped to 00:22 ! That's a huge difference.
With Octane, regardless of the render mode I used, the timing was nearly the same for characters with full-on SSS materials as for mapping them all to the same, matte grey shader. The basic scene on fastest render mode took about 9-11 seconds for the grey materials and just under 25 seconds with custom character materials, while the more advanced render mode took almost the exact same amount of time in both cases. So, mapping to grey wouldn't save me loads of time for my workflows, typically. That can only go so far, because once lots of reflective/refractive object materials are enabled in a scene, that could start to add up (but even so, Octane is just beast at showing you enough quickly - like a car with huge low-end torque).
Oh, and my viewport is usually in hidden line, wireframe or smooth shaded mode, so that also cuts down use of materials while manipulating the scene in Daz.

Thanks for the answer! I really appreciate it.
Although I must admit that isn't the kind of cheating that I like, specially if it'll be in front of the MC as in a revenge scenario.
But I still plan to play this game.
