The newest play test with more of the new cassie chapter and one of the older chapters(Nanami) imported into the new engine was released for testing for Patreon supporters on Friday.
Surprised its not here yet, but kinda relieved after the shitstorm the last playtest got.
Apparently putting playtest in the filename, front page and in the disclaimer wasnt enough for some to determine it was a playtest.
So far no bugs have been reported.

This game is amazing, can't believe I hadn't heard of it until now. Seems it's still early in development thought, right? I think Cassie, Amanda, and Jane each only have one chapter each? Just want to make sure I didn't miss anything. Looking forward to the next update!

Greetings,
Just to say the poll RomanHume posted on Patreon finished yesterday and the winner was Lupita.

1606824664213.png

So yesterdays livestream was the first part of the next chapter for Lupita.
The next few livestreams should also be Lupita with RomanHume then completing the Cassie chapter endings in the evenings to keep the surprise.

The new playtest that was released last week is available on patreon for supporters.
Also join the Discord server, you can see my attempts at trying to create Amanda and Jane with my awesome* Daz skills .
Once you get past my *Awesome attempts Atherin has uploaded and lot of there Doctor Amana art as well.

Icky
* by awesome i mean totally new and only done the first training video before i tried to create them. I cant even get hair colour to change :(

It can be fuzzy, but yeah, typically that is the case, one of the most hard core examples would be Personal Trainer, where you (with her permission), break into this dude's house and bang his wife on the bed in which he is sleeping (waking him up in the process).

With this game, it is hard to say. There are a few ways it could go, aside from the potential of the wife cheating too (netorare), it's hard to say if she will become okay with him sleeping with others or even getting off on it (netorase), or if he will take someone else's woman... With what I have seen of the story so far, it could go in a number of ways, from harem to divorce. :ROFLMAO:
Even I don't know how this is going to go yet. So many possibilities! But the story kind of evolves on it's own as I write, so I let the character sort of dictate themselves how things ultimately end up going.

The premise of this game sounds very interesting. Also the first two pages of this thread are brutal lol. No mercy was shown.
Yeah well, what can I say. Mistakes were made. :D
If we had been fortunate enough in the beginning to have found F95 BEFORE we made a game, we might have been able to study some other examples and learn a few things about the right and wrong way to proceed. But we came in blind with no prior experience and very little exposure to but a handful of other games, so it was a lot of stumbling in the dark trying to figure out all the nuances of how to properly build and distribute an adult game.

And here I am years later, running the show alone but so much wiser in the ways of players, patreons and Daz. And most of those naysayers haven't been back, but that's ok. I enjoy the community that has built up around the game and I enjoy talking with my current players.

Sorry it took so long to be found but glad it finally was! Welcome to the party mate!

Thanks for this! This was the first time I've been able to catch a live stream. I now have a much better understanding and appreciation for all the labor that goes into scene creation.
My pleasure. Glad you caught it an enjoyed it. If you ever have any questions, comments or curiosities feel free to bring them up. Most of my streams are deadly quiet except for the music because there's not much I can ramble on about alone. :D

Hey man, you've done a good job especially with no specific blueprint or guidance. Some people just like to nitpick.

And again I appreciate how original and refreshing this game is. I've been enjoying it quite a bit.

Well.....hello again. Forgive my frustration at the moment as I'm coming off a day long battle with Daz. Got some news, good and bad. I mean, the bad isn't all that bad, just incredibly frustrating. But we'll get to all that.

The Good
Things are still moving along well. Work on Cassie's sex scenes progresses (sort of, we'll get to that in the bad), and we've started live streams on Lupita's next chapter.

Conversion of the old material is proceeding albeit slower than I would like. As I'm plowing through a lot of the old code I'm seeing a lot of...experimentation...on my part and that of my predecessors. Seems like we tried out a few different formats for the sex scenes and associated variables before coming up with the "sex menu" system that I'm planning to run with going forward.

That lack of consistency in how things were being handled is slowing the conversion down a bit because I'm having to invent some work arounds to make those scenes work. Eventually when time permits, I'll slowly start replacing those early scenes with updated versions that make use of Roger's skin tones and the Red/Blue track shifts I'll be using going forward.

That said, I'm not the type of developer that likes reworking old material. I've done those scenes twice already and the idea of doing them a third time bores me. Thus reworking those old chapters will be a very low priority task that gets worked in here and there while the render queue is full of new content.

But that said, production of new content is going along very well! The streaming process is pretty well worked out and I'm very happy with the amount of work we do in a live stream.

I'm very excited about 2021 being the year of regular updates and tight release schedules. I've been more than ready for this game to take off and now that my only responsibilities are writing stories and making art, I think we can get a lot done.
Assuming Daz gets it's head out of it's ass that is...

The Bad (or The Aggravating)
So yesterday turned into a complete waste of time. I pretty much lost the whole day fighting with Daz and Nvidia.

As you know, I recently installed a pair of RTX2070's into our primary computer. Everything was working well as far as I knew and we were chugging along. They yesterday I noticed that Daz kept dropping back to the CPU for rendering. After installing the RTX's I never really bothered to check the status but for some reason yesterday I did.

Anyway, Daz won't use the RTX's for whatever reason and I make the mistake of trying to figure out why. BEST OF LUCK RIGHT?! Cause with Daz you get what you pay for. So for Zero dollars I can pretty much expect less than minimal support and thread after thread of independent Daz users frustratingly comparing notes to figure out how to solve these problems.

First test, update Daz. I know, stupid right? But my rational was that in the newest versions of Daz you can turn off the processor and use the cards by default (previous versions let you prioritize the cards but would still fall back to the processor if need be). Well I did that and then nothing would render except the CPU. Cards would throw and error and Daz would crash. (A few lucky times it caused a KernalException which crashed the whole computer).

Ok, next step, update the Nvidia drivers. Three different drivers later (I tried all the ones the threads recommended for use with Daz), still nothing. Still defaulting to the CPU but this time I get a nice message saying that the reason it defaulted is because Daz could not allocated 6MB of data to the 7.5GB available on the card...well ok. Fuck.

No one could apparently figure that one out either. So I roll back Daz to a previous version. That threw a whole new set of errors and exceptions. Finally, at about 9 o'clock last night I threw in the towel and gave up.

I reinstalled the latest version of Daz, updated my Nvidia drivers to the most current configuration, and said fuck it. I'll just render with the processor until such time as Daz and Nvidia may or may not get their shit together.

The silver lining is that the i7-8700k still does a pretty damned good job with the renders. The above image only took about 5 minutes to render using the processor alone. So our operation is not crippled by any means.

It's just frustrating to be sitting on $1200 of idle hardware and it burns me to think of how fast those cards could crank out this same image. Oh well.

I refuse to lose another day fucking with it so for now, processor it is!

The Ugly
Gollum's scrotum...? I don't know. I don't really have anything to put under the Ugly header but it felt obligatory to have it.

Anyway, that's all for now! We'll keep chugging away at renders and get some new stuff to play.

I should have Cassie's 9th scene ready for playtesting tomorrow and hopefully scene 10 sometime next week. Should have some Lupita material to playtest then too! And some more converted scenes.

We've got a strong wind behind us, so let's keep this baby moving towards that horizon!

Thank you for your support and encouragement!

Cheers!

He! You could've easily switched The Ugly for The Weird and detailed most of DAZ's and Nvidia's fuckupery under the latter. Why they made using the dedicated card one set up ones rig with into an ordeal way more complicated than fooling around with autoexec.bat and config.sys (to load every driver possible into the upper and high memory areas so Wing Commander would've access to nearly the full 640k of system RAM) is way beyond me.

Can't wait for 2021! And Lupita. Keep it up!

I literally couldn't find any discussions about any such problem that he describes. There are discussions about problems with very new types of cards that are not yet supported, but not about 2070 which is like two years old. Maybe he should call nearest computer tech support service :ROFLMAO:

Hmm, I wonder if this is happening to me as well, I noticed renders taking 15-20m to finish instead of my regular 5-10m on my 3080. I'll have to look at it today and see what's going on.

edit: I solved my particular issue, Octane render (which I just recently installed) apparently doesn't support the RTX 30 series yet, and disables GPU rendering. So with that uninstalled, my renders are now back to 3-5minutes for a full render..

So I played the alternate paths and I have to say again how impressive this game is. The renders are of course great, but the different dialogue and content in the paths you can take are very convincing. I'm primarily interested in Cassie and her friends, and their storylines have been fantastic so far - the slow corruption especially. It's a great option to be able to turn down the LI's we might not be interested in. Also love that you can customize the nicknames that each character uses! Haven't seen that before, and surprised more devs don't do that. Keep up the good work RomanHume!
