It's unbelievable. How come this game cannot find required developer help? Not much story-driven games out there. So sad. I was waiting for scenes involving the girl at the club that had "daddy issues".

Sadly, most people with the skills want to do their own thing, not be part of a team.

I am disappointed, I really enjoyed this game, so many interesting and amazing story lines and so many choices, both conventional and taboo, but It is what it is, I hope it gets going sometime in future, or an amazing remake
Just download it (it is free on their site), and practice. There are better tutorials for Blender, but Daz has some too.
The hardest part to learn is lighting, but for that, any lighting tutorials will help, the same general rules apply for it, it's just the mechanics that change. It is the most important skill, and one of the hardest to learn (for me anyway).

Totally agree with this. I've played around with it a bit myself and plan to keep going at it once I build my new PC. But yeah, definitely the most difficult for me. I wish more F95 users would take a stab at it just so they realize how much work goes into making a few renders. Then they might be less inclined to bitch about how long a release takes.
Especially, when like with this game, the dev makes a lot of the assets themselves.Totally agree with this.

My problem has never been with update times in general. My issue arises when Devs ( not necessarily lambs,keep making promises.
At a certain point just admit you don't know when it's coming.

I think this dev did that...stating they were trying to find someone to do the renders.
Either way...no communication for a long time from him, so it doesn't matter at this point.
I was more or less saying in general. A lot of people on this site, not supporting the devs, lose their fucking shit when it's been 3, 4, 5 months or so since the last release. They truly don't realize the amount of effort that it takes to make something like Dr. Amana...and they also don't take into account the fact that many of these devs have day jobs/careers and families. Or simply just need some time with friends. They act as if a dev's every living, breathing, moment, should be dedicated to their story.
Anyway, I hope this comes back to life at some point. It would be such a shame if it went to waste.

I get what you're saying. Think we're pretty much in agreement about everything.

He needs someone to help do the renders, so if you have the skills, send him a message.

Just dropping by to say that I'm not dead, haven't forgotten about all of you and this game remains a living thing in my mind. Shuffling some pieces around. I've been talking with a girl that wants to take the game over these last few months. I think we're nearing a deal but we're quibbling over some of the details.
I'll stay on as writer and part time programmer but she'll do the artwork top to bottom. If we can agree on a few sticking points.
Sorry for the long delay in communication. Just got so many things pulling in so many directions. No catastrophe or world ending disaster. Just too many tasks and not enough time.

And naturally with so much time away from this particular keyboard, I'm inundated with messages and communications.
I'll start chipping away at those and try to reply as best as I can.
Questions relating to production schedules and what-not, I won't bullshit. I have no answers yet. All I can say is that in my mind this game never expired. It just sort of went into cryo-stasis while I figured out how I was going to make it all work. The problem with being good at your job, is they keep throwing promotions and money at you which is great. But at the same time it also means a lot more work which cuts into the passion projects like Dr. Amana.
I've never given up or lost sight of the characters. I just have to figure out how to manufacture time!

Clearly we all like the story so far
If this new artist meets your approval then I am sure we will all be happy as well. We have also been patient and can take more time while you hammer out logistics. When you do get a chance can we get a test render or something from her? Just a bone to throw to us hungry wolves? Also will it be the same SubStar? I will sub once I know it is on track again.
Thanks for your time
PEACE
In terms of support, everything will be set up the way it was before. She does good lighting and posing. We've traded best practices and shared tips and tricks so it's a good approximation of what we had before. The biggest difference is she doesn't want to fuck around with environments. Which from personal experience I completely understand.
She did this a month or two ago along with some other work and her style uses royalty free stock images for backgrounds and then she just blurs them to make it look like some depth of field effects.
It's attractive and it works rather well. But the game in its current state has a different style.
And this leads us into the current negotiations we're circling around. She's insisting that if she's going to own 50% of the game and be 100% responsible for the art, then she wants to redo all the art in her style and make it hers.
I'm also not entirely convinced that this method of doing the art is conducive to really good sex scenes. I think about the scene with Cassie in the pool and I'm trying to figure out how you'd achieve all the richness of that scene with such a simplified style.
So I'm only half sold on the approach. But she does want to do animations for the sex scenes so that is a plus.
But her simplified style lends itself to faster production and quicker turn around.
So there are so many pros and cons I'm trying to weigh out while also seeing how much I can get her to flex on the details.
And let's be real. After hunting for an artist for so long, I'm so very close and tempted to say fuck it and just let her do whatever she wants because in the end it's better than the nothing I have managed to produce for such a long time.
At least this way the writing stays in tact, the story is still mine, and the art remains attractive in it's own way.
The other upside is I've known her for a few years and she's local, so I don't have to worry about some internet artist ghosting me after three or four months of work. So I have confidence that if we can work out our creative differences, it would be a long term solution.
So that's the conundrum in a nutshell.
