Hello everyone,

Here are some updates on the development of this game.


More New Sprites

We've been continuing our work on recreating the AI versions of the characters. Here are some more characters.

On a side note, we decided to redesign the Reverend Mother we had already shown off in a previous devlog, here's the new version so let us know what you think.

Writers Needed

It has become kinda obvious by now that we have bitten off more than we can chew. As perhaps was to be expected, our vision for the game has expanded over time. We are now aiming for greater complexity and scope than when we started the project. Furthermore, the writing has turned out to be more difficult than expected. It is at this point the greatest bottleneck in our development. Therefore we have decided to distribute the workload of writing, whether it be to existing members of the team, or better yet to new members.

In other words, we are looking for guest writers.

You will have the opportunity to bring some of your own ideas into the game, by writing side-content in the form of scenes and dialogue. The main story will still be handled by our main writer. Otherwise you are free to express yourself within certain boundaries. You will receive guidance if necessary, and in some cases an outline of what certain parts need to contain. That being said, nothing is set in stone. We do welcome fresh perspectives and ideas. That also means that there's the possibility of you adding things that we haven't planned, as long as they fit into our overall vision.

The main challenge in accepting guest writers, is that we need to maintain cohesion within the story, and a unified style, so do expect that there will be some need for refinement and making changes.

If you’re interested in joining our team as a guest writer, even for small scenes or bits of dialogue, please reach out to one of our developers with a message. We’d love to hear from you and discuss how you can contribute to our game!



Filmbooks

We've been working on additional content that would be text-only for the game. You will now unlock access to filmbooks on certain quests, allowing you to read little side-stories set in the Dune-iverse. This type of content is also perfect for guest writers to come along and tell short stories that they wish to see in the game

Hi,

Am I the only one that dislikes the new 3D art sprites(all 3D Sprites, not devs)? I really like the game cause of the 2D art, although I know its AI, it was still very attractive. The new 3D rendering styles of sunken eyes, high cheek bones, aged wrinkle texture is not sexy to me, but I think this is very much personal preference and not a comment on how well the Devs design the characters.

2D Jessica was very sexy and sensual, where as 3D Jessica gives me "$2 Kardashian look alike." Same with the mother superior character. 2D was sexy and sensual with implied age, where as 3D is old and imo boring looking.

Anyone else feels this way?

I'm sorry if this is to late in posting and was unhelpful.

I just read dev blog #2 and that answered a lot of questions, but if this is the style the dev team is going to use moving forward I don't think I want to play the game anymore. Mainly because of my CGI bias. I hate to admit it but the AICG is very alluring.

Thank you for making this game and Good Luck!

I do feel similarly as well. However, I don't think the problem lies in 3D per se. It's true that the majority of DAZ models has that look that I would call "a plastic doll" - meaning wide and high cheek bones, hollow cheeks, fat lips, small upturned pug-noses, big upturned eyes, high arched brows and microscopic chins. However, I don't think it's the fault of any software - I think it's what the majority of people genuinely want and find sexy. You could see this "doll-style" from the real Barbie dolls to Milo Manara erotic pictures, from movie stars of 70s to modern stars.



PS: The absolute majority of AI-generated pics follow the same formula, since they all are derivative of something created beforehand. It's either this, or anime ped neotenic features.

If you hate the Daz style that much, feel free to create an image replacement mod as that is fairly easy to do. The reason we stopped is that we kept running into too many issues with AI that Daz doesn't suffer from. And to top this off we have no artists interested in helping develop the game so we had to turn to Daz.

emily blunt and oliva munn shouldnt be in that picture imo theyre fine

Life in plastic, it's fantastic

I would want them to give Virt-A-Mate a try for 3D models. But i guess they are already deep in development with Daz. I have never found Daz renders that attractive. Nonethless i am still eagerly waiting for the updates

Virt-A-Mate is absolutely great for character creation and customization. Like, there's entire pages of options for things like eye corners. Not the eyes but a dedicated page for inner corners, outer corners, eyelids and so on. However, it's all negated by the most user unfriendly UI I ever saw. It's like one step above a command line. And it can't even be said "oh it's because it's optimized for VR" because it's just not optimized period.

Also the idea of trying to get anything dune like in the virt-a-mate engine looks like a nightmare so we didn't go with this. If you're impressed by the virt-a-mate customisation, Daz has hundreds upon hundreds more sliders and toggles by comparison.

The question is, though - who's that on your profile pic?

yeah getting the Dune like feel would be difficult with VaM

A daz model I worked on when practicing my renders for the game, why do you ask?

I thought you're gonna use it in the game.

But again, of the thousands of VNs under my belt, this, this puppy, is *somehow* a 'game' that is OFTEN on my mind. I cannot explain why. There wasn't even much content in the current version relatively speaking. Not tooons of 'lewd' scenes, etc etc. So again, I dunno why, but I seem to be unable to get this particular 'game' out of my head lol.

Probably because it's not really an AVN or VN. It's an IF game. It's less heavy on the visuals in favor for interactivity and exploration. So it makes sense a game that is not a VN would stand out to you in a sea of thousands of VNs with the same format. The distinctiveness of the setting also helps.

Funny thing is that I think by now AI is catching up to what is needed...

 

[Rogerericdu]

It's time.

 

[asdfqwert_789]

4 updates within 2 years, is it dead?

 

[neugul]

Funny thing is that I think by now AI is catching up to what is needed...

I, too, believe developers can more easily produce the required images with an AI image tool, such like Grok Imagine, while preserving the continuity of the earlier visuals.

[The UnHolyOne]

is there a way to recover the cut scenes? or has that part stopped development completely?

also anal and ass stuff? is this game just vanilla with vaginal, oral and boob job? or we getting repeatable butt stuff?

 

[Mastergimble]

They were a lot more than just whores.

But whores nonetheless.
