Screenshot below is taken from a leak of Cari's QnA that he posted on Patreon and Subscribestar a while back.

Prepare to suffer. :HideThePain:
Haven't really considered how things after Eternum will be, a new game huh...
Well, Once in a lifetime was great and Eternum is probably one of the best games of the genre.
Could Caribdis actually pull off a three of a kind?

He basically mentioned in replies in his Patreon and Discord that he's doing pre-production (fleshing out the story, the setting, the characters) while working on Eternum, which shouldn't take much time as he's still essentially jotting down and refining his ideas on paper. Would not surprise me however if he already has working prototypes for the LIs, Major Characters, and the MC for the next game as he could just do that in HS2 during his off-hours.

There is some curiosity from me as why Caribdis wont moved on to DAZ so he could put his game on Steam on top of patreon so he can earns more, there is a certain Mafia game that the game and the dev attitudes not as good as Caribdis and he still able to earns over 100k USD ( based on someone calculation on that thread ), personally i liked HS more than DAZ but if Caribdis can earn more by moving to DAZ for his next project then i dont really mind about it tbh.

I may be wrong, I hope Dorf can correct me, but as far as I remember Cari likes anime style, and as far as I know from the discord dev doesn't like DAZ

Upd... Dorf has already answered :Kappa:

Personally i wont turn away from something if i can do that certain stuff and earn me more money and i think most people also has the same mindset, Like me as someone who build game accounts and sell it sometimes you have to build an account from a game that you dont really like, i know not everyone wanted to do something they dont like even if can earn them more money so i guess Cari is someone like that just be happy with what he currently earns as long he can do whatever he pleases with, i just thought there is something more to it like difficulty with DAZ rendering or getting access to Steam etc.

DAZ might get you on Steam, but it costs more money to build an asset library, and with that comes financial risks.

Also, DAZ has even more UI problems than Studio Neo (The HS studio engine), is a bastard to work in, and with all of this you end up with girls that look like Barbies, and guys who look like Kens. I am of the same opinion as Caribdis, I don't like DAZ in any way. HS2 sucks, but DAZ is worse, more expensive, and produces a look I find ugly.

Edit: Oh, and to make matters worse, DAZ is so inefficient at rendering (because IRay is awful) that it requires additional beefy PCs for producing images and animations. With studio Neo, 4k renders (even with character skins modded into infinity), take no more than ten seconds, and 4k animations are only a few minutes per second (second edit: On an RTX 3070, it'll obviously be worse on lower end hardware, not that the 3070 is holding up very well right now).

As such, you can see why someone would prefer to "busk" in Studio Neo, than "sell" in DAZ with all the risks and expenses.

Ideally we would all work in blender, but the character and environment creation issue (i.e the time it takes - weeks instead of hours, per character - along with the expense) make this impossible until AI prompt modelling gets a little better. Which I am hoping happens in the two and a half years my Honey Select 2 project will take to complete.
