I'm not sure if you remember, but I posted a review mentioning that the sex scenes were a bit underwhelming way back then. The very early scenes with just animation was pretty bad and everyone could agree I think. But I felt even the first examples of the new system were a bit underwhelming. My reasoning was that there was not enough kinky dialogue and the scene were pretty much over before you can really build up to a release. We had some discussions back then on how to improve it and others chimed in, many disagreeing with my position that lengthy and kinky dialogues are the magic sauce. I can understand that view more and more. My preferences are heavily influenced by japanese style scenes that use obscenely long dialogues (mainly degradation of the females lol).
I absolutely remembered those reviews and conversations and took them to heart. When I get feedback on the game, good and bad, I do study it and consider the strengths and weaknesses in the analysis. I have always found writing sex scenes difficult. It's such a nebulous area when it comes to what makes for a good or bad scene.

Those conversations helped me get a feel overall for what players wanted to see and experience and helped steer a bit in the creative process as I worked out different things. I tried to strike the right balance of dialogue. I didn't want there to be a lot (Cause coming up with original dirty talk gets difficult real quick). But what was there I wanted to time it so that it had some impact in the scene. I wanted it to make sense, what was said and when.

I also wanted different dialogue and internal monologues depending on which path your on, blue or red and I think that came through pretty good as well.


You really found your style I think. First, the extended scene (barrage of all the scenes in sequence taken together) is lengthy enough to get the job done. Second, there are many different positions and angles to keep things interesting. Third, the descriptive text is very erotic! Fourth, the spoken dialogues, while rare, are placed at decent intervals to satisfy the relevant kinks (of course I made her call me daddy heheh...).

Ok, I just wanted to say the update was fire. Good job!
Thanks! I'm feeling that way as well. As I go into these streams and start doing the art, I feel like I know where I'm finally going. This chapter was a good chance for me to get my hands on this entire project and really put my stamp on it and make it mine.

As much as I appreciate the work and effort from the old team, going forward, this is my game.

Cassie is my favorite of all games that I have played in my life..... and I have a mac... :( nooooooooo so close... but so far,
When a Ren'Py game has no Mac version, I build my own with the Ren'Py SDK. It's really simple - unzip pc game version to folder set in Ren'Py config (by default might be "Downloads",) then in SDK: select "Build", unselect "PC" and make sure Mac is selected. Build. Profit.

Edit: While I've had no problems with SDK 7.4.0 (will be trying 7.4.2 soon) some people have. So you may want to try SDK 7.3.5, I have read that it's a graphics card issue and older machines don't have cards which support the new requirements (how old? Mine is a mid-2015 and has a graphics card that can do the job.) So if building with 7.4.x results in a game you can't play, this is probably why.

not all of them for example if you had one of the girl pregnant it does not pass to the current version
Easily fixed. Go into notebook, select cheats. select person you want. modify stats to show pregnancy.
That's how I got the 4 ladies pregnant again.
Though to be honest, I think by the time we get to a chapter where pregnancy show or affects things all the older chapters should have been added to new engine so just need a quick replay.

Good sex which has been animated or sex which has been animated well? :unsure:
Solid question!

LOL We do have some weird customs. but I'm actually surprised there's no tags. Takes more than a dev saying there isn't incest for there not to be I would think. Especially when your "neighbor" has her own bedroom in your house, and asks YOU for permission if her friends can come over...
You know, not every lives like you do. There are alternate life styles and different family dynamics. Just because you're not poor doesn't mean there aren't poor people. And just because you don't dedicate a room in your house for your neighbor's children doesn't mean other people don't.......even though....well........yeah it's kinda weird. But who says everyone has to be normal!

That all said, This has some great story telling and people will always come forth with a nice patch. So I can't complain. :)
Thanks mate. I appreciate that! :D

Partly. Plus some features like changing the MC's skin tone simply require new renders because that wasn't conceived of when the old stuff was made. So not just artistically but technically much needs redone.
You might want to check in with Vren, who I think has written some code to queue up renders in DAZ, using the command line. i.e. you can perfect your base render to your preference, and then queue up multiple render jobs for each additional skin tone, particularly important to Lab Rats 2 with the procedural/randomly generated models.

When I was chatting with him, he was absurdly helpful and open to feedback/input, so maybe he'd be open to sharing/license his work. While his application of it is not to everyone's taste, I (for one) appreciate the tech/work behind it and can see the application to running renders in batch jobs.

Damn RomanHume this was an amazing update! As many have said, the scene(s) with Cassie was incredible!!! You've really set the bar high for your self ;)

Oh, and thanks for this:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
When do we get more of that? :)
hmmmm, how come my wife is wearing a white tank top? I tried fiddling with the lingerie and naked modes, but they didn't seem to change anything. Is this a love vs hate thing?

Well... one more game that is over for me because plot with my favorite character was just destroyed with being too rushed and "she was actually always into it" instead by being gradually corrupted... and that somehow always happens, I don't know way devs go in that direction...

i think that actually, sadly, Teachers Pets was the best one considering gradual corruption and tempo until being abandoned.

Aw, that's a bummer!

It's been fun and I'm sorry to see you go, but C'est la vie!

Thanks for all the good times and I wish you well on your journey!

If my neighbour had a daughter like Cassie, she could live in any room in my house.

There might be a couple of rules. Like sharing the shower to save water. And she's not allowed to wash herself.

Nothing weird, though. Unless she's into weird. What's weird anyway?
