Well if you change your mind the posting is still up. I'm hoping that if in a few months I can get the patreon count up, I'll hire three more artists and hand off all the characters.
If I could afford to have seven artists working on the game simultaneously and all I have to do is the final approval, touch up and render, then I could go back to writing full time and get this game done before the end of 2020. Then I could start working on one of the other dozen great story ideas floating in my head. Just have to wait and see how this experiment goes.
If you or anyone else are interested though, the job posting is still up and I've updated it to include job specifics. I'm paying $0.65 USD per render and it's work at your own pace. I pay by completed scene, so the incentive is, the more you produce, the quicker you get paid.
I figure I'm not paying enough to make anyone devote their efforts full time. But the cash should be incentive enough for people to not want to slack. And let's face it, even if the other artists are only working part time, that's still more work getting done than I can do by myself.
Salute mate!
Posting is still here if anyone is curious.
(Ironically, none of the artists I've hired have played the game. Three were drawn in by the models and another was interested in working with me to improve their Daz skill.)
You're most welcome. Thanks for playing!
The wise fear the "Cock Rocket"!
Fingers crossed, I'm starting to think this is the way to go. It's good that I did it by myself for those few months and really learned what I was doing. This way, even with other artists helping, I can keep a firm hand on the visual quality and know immediately what, if anything needs to be fixed with a piece of submitted work.RomanHume very exciting news indeed, hopefully this helps you get most of the way to more consistent patches, timewise I mean, the quality is there already.. would love to see this amass much more support, the concept and the characters are good, always been. Best of luck with the new endevour
I'm hoping if I'm smart and time the workloads, I can get back in the groove of monthly updates. It just depends on how quick the art comes back. But anything is quicker than it is now.
With luck, we'll be seeing many updates soon. Fingers crossed mate!
And then I have this totally random picture of Emily, topless in the Doctor's Office for absolutely no apparent reason.
Actually I took about five minutes to slap this scene together to demonstrate a very basic lighting technique. Then afterwards I was like, fuck it! I'll take her shirt off and hit the blue "Render" button. Enjoy!

My lovely wife and her lovely Mammaries. The stretch marks are a welcomed touch of realism. Very nicely done sir.

I second that! RomanHume your committed to this now! Should have never... let.. me... fuck.
I gotta be the one to do it don't I...
BUT! Isn't Nanami hotter as a purple chick?!
Purple peater eater...
Hey RomanHume do you have any renders that has a full view of Nanami's tattoo. Maybe one where Roger/MC is admiring it, giving us a full display of it.

Yeah right just the fact that you had to say that you're not bitching you look like you are and oh boy giving dedications to your haters (bastards as you called them), right no bitching here...
Thanks. Personally I've never seen a milf with large natural tits that didn't have a few marks. Seemed like the right thing to do. =D
Your genius continues to inspire. Bravo!
A dream sequence perhaps?
I'll just let you two sort this out among yourselves. =DI second that! RomanHume your committed to this now! Should have never... let.. me... fuck.
I gotta be the one to do it don't I...

Come to think of it I don't think I do. I'll see about whipping one up in the very near future.
You missed the point. What I'm not bitching about is sinking $100+ a month into my own project. I'm not bitching about helping to financially support the artists I'm hiring out of my own pocket.Yeah right just the fact that you had to say that you're not bitching you look like you are and oh boy giving dedications to your haters (bastards as you called them), right no bitching here...
Haters, bastards, whatever. They can go fuck themselves.
Wow, it almost scares me now lol. Don't get me wrong it would be great news, but I hope even in this case you won't rush things for this game, and that you will develop what you wanted to develop. Well I sound a bit bossy now, not my intent. Once again it's great news, I'm also amazed you're willing to give more than your entire monthly patreon money for it.

I understand your reservations. In fact, they were the very hesitations that have stalled me from hiring anyone until now. I wasn't convinced the art would be the same level or style that I have produced up until now. It wasn't until I devised a process by which I would still maintain complete control over image quality and that I finally pulled the trigger on hiring outside artists.
I think this method is going to help a lot because at the end of the day, nothing gets into the game without my approval. And since I'm doing the final render, I'll have a chance to make any changes to image that I feel are necessary to maintain the level of quality I'm demanding for the game.
I'm only doing this because I think I can do it without a loss of quality. I"m still doing all the character design, clothing design, etc. The artists are just taking the assets I build and setting poses, lighting and environments.
If this trial run with outsourced art works, then I'll actually feel freer in my writing. As it is now, I sometimes reduce or cut scenes knowing that producing the art is going to take me too long. Scenes like Nanami's strip club chapter that were long, complex and had multiple paths, I swore I'd never do again because of how long it took to render. But if I have multiple artists working, then I'd feel much safer producing complex scenes like that (in truth I love them because they add lots of options for players and the story is richer for it).
I'm also thinking in terms of, if I don't have to create so much art, I can spend more time developing custom assets for the game in Blender. I've already got a country club scene for which there simply are no assets. If part of my job was just making the environments as I picture them when writing, and then passing them off to the artists to use, the visual quality would increase ten fold.
I'm optimistic that this process is going to produce more art, faster, and at the same quality or better that we've enjoyed so far.
For those interested, I've outlined the process here. As you can see, the artist's job is to just get me 95% of the way to a finished render, and then I"ll put on the final "Roman Hume Touch" before finalizing the art for the game.
I'm putting my own money in though because I have a lot of confidence in this game. I think once I'm able to roll out consistent content on a regular basis, and people get to experience some of the other fetishes I've promised, I know this game will be a big win.
In fact, that only complaints I get are related to a lack of content or production speed. I think if I can get a production line in place to crank out the story I have written, this time next year I'll be a full time dev.
Of course, this whole experiment could be a colossal failure, but time will tell the tale.
Salute mate!
Thank you!
I love the fact that your handle is "Osamabeenfapping". I don't know why, but that shit is incredibly funny to me.
I just don't want people to have to slog through romances with characters they aren't interested in. So I took the buffet approach. Eat as much as you can handle, and leave the rest for someone else.

Totally random and probably useless question. What are the odds of getting someone pregnant? I have played Jane and Nanami scenes several times but only once manage to do it. Jane somehow it happened on my first playthrough (damn I love that girl) but Nanami (love her too) I had to grind until it happened and it was only cause somebody mentioned it could happened that I decided to try again and again.
