HTML Abandoned Dubious Practice [v0.3] [Dubious Developers]

[Fiddlesticks 3DX]

OK, folks! Sorry about the wait and the radio silence. It's Christmas time, so we're all driven a little cuckoo - not helped by the fact that me and Cass are still busy as shit. Anyway, as I mentioned, I have some preview images to show you all for the next update.

Here we have Alex's new designs for Seduction, Manipulation, and Domination. The previous redesigns were mostly well-received, but we decided to mix and match elements from several redesigns to come up with new ones that - hopefully - combined the best of everything. Big thanks to everyone on the Dubious Practice Discord who provided real-time feedback and a lot of great ideas to help us come up with these new designs. If you'd like to provide more direct feedback, help out with some designs, or just want to chat with a lot of nice people and check out some bimbo porn (there's a lot of that in the Discord), then be sure to join using the link in the first comment on the first page of this thread!
Seduction Alex's "Nightclub Vixen" was far and away the most popular, but we felt the dress was a little too formal and complex, so we went with a more simple outfit, with a bandeaux top and micro skirt - much quicker for her to get out of (especially as she spends most nights in and out of the bathroom cubicles, fucking anyone who'll buy her a jack n' coke).
Manipulation Alex's "Sugar Baby" dress was definitely a favorite of most people (with a such a good view of her cleavage, it's no wonder). Due to technical issues with that dress however, we were forced to use a different one, albeit one that was similar in design - specifically the wonderful view of her tits. Said tits are now much smaller, you will undoubtedly notice. Why? I've no idea - small boobs were in fashion at the time, I guess.
Domination Alex has received the biggest redesign, including a much more submissive pose and expression. It was a close race between "Gothic Locks" and "Trash Raider", so we decided to combine the best of both designs - specifically the corset of "Gothic Locks", with the "Trash Raider" outfit. She also has a new braided hairstyle, which is both long and strong enough to be tied to things to hold her head in place for a good face-fucking... WINK WINK, NUDGE NUDGE.



But that's not all! Many of you will no doubt have run into some of Sunny Valley's other characters during your playthroughs. Namely the Latina Ice-Queen Isabella at the dance studio; the portly and shy Tara at the town gym; and the edgy-but-somehow-also-looks-like-she'll-actually-cut-you Samantha (sorry, "Sam", as she prefers to be called) at the local JavaHut Café.
As part of the process of updating the original images made by Spi and Mysterious Stranger, these girls have had a redesign and a makeover. What you see here are their "Causal" outfits, but they will have location-specific outfits relevant to their primary location.


These are all I can share for the moment, but rest assured there is much more already done. Me and Cass are still in the process of finalizing the Stage 4 designs for Isabella and Samantha, but we already have all of Tara's designs - for both her paths!- ready and done. In fact, here's a little preview of what you can expect with Tara once we begin to implement her path in the game!



You can expect to see more "Trees" like this for other characters in future!

That's all from me for the moment. As I said, despite our busy schedule in real life, we're still plugging away at the game, finding a spare hour here or there every week to get some work in. We're sorry for the long wait, but these things happen. Thanks for your patience and let me know what you think!

You've managed to completely knock it out of the park with these designs Fiddle honestly absolutely perfect. So glad to see you went with Seduction's D but removed the top straps, I can only imagine how much of a bitch it would have been trying to render those out. Also massive fan of manipulation, kept the Queen Bee feel of her while also keeping that bimbo sexiness. And jesus Submissive is jawdroppingly perfect, like holy hell the upgrade to the braid is legit a game changer.

Also was not expecting the preview of Tara whose two paths while similar are both different enough that I'm excited to experience both of them.

You've really outdone yourself in this, so go ahead and rest up along with Cass and have a great Christmas and New Year. I know when we do get the next update it'll be one of the best that this site has to offer.

Thank you very much, Synizer, I'm glad you like them! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too!

This is much better than I was hoping.

For more than a year I exist on this site with this profile - and this is my first message on it, just because I want to acknowledge author and tell them - you are a beautiful creature and I really like your game, eagerly awaiting more.
Also, as I see Tara has two possible paths. Are these paths also connected with MC stats like in case of Alex, or they are determined by something else? If so - how MC stats gonna affect it?

Hey there! Thanks for the compliments.

As for the question, I can answer that. Tara will have two main stats - Strenght and Endurance. Both will be tied to Manipulation and a different secondary stat : Sed for Endurance and Dom for Strenght. In her first two stages you'll have to train her two stats more or less equally, and then focus on one of the two in the third stage.

What this means is that if you focus on Manip at the start of the game, Tara's initial training will be faster for you. However, in later stages your weaker score will cause you to slow down a bit. While someone specialized in Dom or Sed might find it slower going at first, but will pick up speed in stage 3. Sam and Isabella will also work similarly, so once they are all implemented, you'll be able to make good progress with at least one of themat any given time no matter your stats.

I hope that answers the question!

 

[ReRuRe]

I hope that answers the question!

Yes, thank you
Also, not to pressure you, but is there any news about next update?

 

[Dubious Developers]

Unfortunately, not really. I can't work on it until I'm done with my teaching contract and back to only doing my dayjob. That would be January 12th. As such, realistically, I wouldn't expect anything before early February.

Well, thank you for an answer anyway

Looks like I was wrong : these new final designs really outmatch the old ones. What I love especially is that we we still can see Alex's face despite her transformations.

One little critic, though, for Alex's submissive style. I think that her piercings are not showing enough. I especially think she lacks some piercings on her lips. On your discord, there was one proposition where she has two lips rings : it goes really well with the character, especially when the Main Protagonist tells her, at one point in the Dominative Path, that lips are her best asset andthat she should focus on them for her new looks.

Anyway, I'm eager to play the next update. Now, we'll just have to wait...

Well, everyone, it’s a been a fun project to work on, but I’m sad to say Dubious Practice is coming to an end… sort of. It's only fair I give you all an explanation though. so here it is…

After some discussion, Cass and myself have come to the realization that we really overestimated how ready either of us were for a project like this. It’s not just the workload we underestimated, but also the planning required. As we were doing this project for fun, we were sort of just making up the story and scenes and mechanics as we went along. And being the excitable types that we are, we kept adding more and more ideas and scenes into the mix. Now, however, that lack of planning has come back to bite us in the ass, and we’re sort of just… stuck in place because of it. A case of not being able to move forward without first going back and sorting through the enormous backlog of stuff we left by the wayside in our headlong rush. And then we'd need to sit down for a long while and actually plan out the rest of the game from A to Z, as well as figure out which of our ideas are even possible in both Daz Studio and a HTML game (we had a lot of ideas that simply couldn't be done given the limitations of working in HTML and 3D rendering). But we've dallied so long on releasing the next update that such another lengthy delay is just impractical and ridiculous at this point, and we can't ask you guys to wait on us anymore.

So, long story short; we’ve decided to call time on Dubious Practice - you won’t be seeing anymore updates to the game.
Does that mean the game is abandoned? Actually… No. Cass and I still love the concept behind Dubious Practice, and while we’re putting the game out to pasture, we’re not ready to put it down just yet. So, the two of us are actually going to keep working on it during our down time. Why? Mainly because we’d like to chalk this whole thing up as a learning experience; figure out where we went wrong, see what could be fixed, and what is actually achievable for two newbies working in our respective formats (and how we might do it better in future...). It will now be our Frankenstein’s Monster to use as a test bed for a bunch of weird and whacky shit (Cassie says we're the “Modern Pornmetheus” now… blame him for that pun). If we ever get something worthwhile out of our tinkering and messing around, we'll be sure to release it to everyone on the Discord too (be sure to use the link below to join if you haven't yet!).

A few points of note to wrap this up...
1: The Discord isn't going anywhere; if you haven't joined the Discord yet, feel free to hop in;

You must be registered to see the links

(Invite Link will automatically expire on the 14th of January, 2022.) The Discord is not simply for the game, but for everyone to hang around, chat, meet some nice folks, swap some quality bimbo porn (or any kind of porn), and generally have a good time. There's a genuinely great bunch of people in there, and all are welcome.
2: In the coming days and weeks we'll be releasing all the renders we had done for Dubious Practice up until this point on the Discord and on

You must be registered to see the links

; that includes character portraits and sex scenes. As mentioned, we'll even continue to release any characters or scenes we develop while tinkering with Dubious Practice in our own time. And be sure to keep an eye out for some upcoming exciting adventures in Cassie's Maze universe.

Well folks, I promised I'd tell you if a time ever came where we decided to call it quits, and sadly, that time has come sooner than we would have liked. Cass and I are genuinely disappointed we couldn't make a go of it, and we're sorry to you guys who followed the game for so long and had hopes for it. You can always find us on the Discord, but for now... see you around.

I like (I don't) how Bimbo look has the smallest tits of the three, whilst normally bimbos should sport the biggest ones x)

 

[djv007]

how long is the gameplay rn ?

 

[makeitso]

how long is the gameplay rn ?

Felt very short when I tried the game. Not satisfying.

 

[djv007]

Damn I read devs post and totally him. I also started a game for fun and kept on adding stuff into it as i liked. Later it became a beautiful mess XD. I get u bro. Goodluck with your project. Most importantly have fun. Also instead of going back and fixing mistakes.. Make a new game. Much simpler if u have the renders done.

Came to check up on this game and was sad to see the news as .3 had a lot of cool stuff going on.

The slushe link you posted says no such artist exists... I was hoping to check out the existing renders--are they gone now?

I found this link rather by accident through Hentai Foundry, where they've posted some stuff. This is the correct link, it's got most their stuff, both old and new:

Does anybody have a working link to the Discord? I made a new account and can't find the server anymore.

It's a shame it died because it had absolutely excellent artwork with a great premise. Was there a conflict between the two?

pretty sure it was a case of overwork and feature creep
