However, if you're looking for an incredibly humorous game, where the humor is very much a persistently amazing factor throughout, then if you haven't already try Projekt: Passion. Now that game had me laughing/chuckling a lot, while still being able to deliver dramatic, serious, more emotional moments as well when it needs to.

Both PP and Eternum try to combine humor and drama (and porn), but I think Eternum does it better. Eternum has an actual plot with all the hooks and arcs and twists and other narrative devices. Yes, the whole VR game thing and 10 Gems of Doom make it easy to come up with the next episode: "oh, we've learned that another Gem might be found at the X-themed server", but the game is not limited to just collecting the Gems, you get all kinds of parallel threads development.

PP might have good comedy sketches, but the overall plot is kinda weak in comparison. "My woman betrayed me and ran away with my McGuffin to the Bad Guys" needs more exposition for me to care. I want to see what kind of woman she was, what the McGuffin does, why the Bad Guys are so bad.

Plus, the girls in Eternum are all fundamentally well-adjusted individuals with some hangups, while the girls in PP are a crew of broken birds. Switching between comedy and drama gives me emotional whiplash when everyone is a walking bag of traumas.

I would probably agree with you if the humor wasn't so blatantly Tongue-in-Cheek. Eternum is by far the better game, but PP's plot is pretty much irrelevant if you're enjoying the humor. I can't take it in large doses though ... I couldn't take large doses of Bobcat Gothewait either, but I still found him hilarious and enjoyable.

Well Idk about by far the better game, after 0.6 I would agree with you in thinking that Eternum is better, but for me only by a bit, they are both in my personal top 3. In terms of overall quality, characters, and writing, they are both on another level from the vast majority of games out there. Eternum has the overall more interesting plot, but I prefer PP's writing slightly more, and I prefer PP's humor more as well. Eternum I would say has the overall better cast of characters, and I think I prefer Eternum's sex scenes slightly more as well. The point I'm trying to make is they're both amazing games excelling at pretty much everything, but do certain things a bit better than the other.

I would say that are both the highest quality games in their specific area's, (Honey Select 2 and Daz) at least in my opinion. Although some people would argue BaDIK for Daz which is understandable. :whistle:

Nah I only did Annie and Luna, it was more for testing than anything so I didn't plan to be doing this with the whole Harem :)

Nice work. Can you make some of Alex, Dalia & Penny? Maybe Rio & Sage from BaDIK? Also Skylar, Darcy and/or Tiffany from Ripples?

I sure hope that's not true...at least not in the long term. 0.7 will hopefully provide us with a lot of great statics worthy to make a sig banner out of again. :ROFLMAO:

Oh no, don't worry, I'm definitely not going to stop now, what I meant was that this was the last time I posted signatures here before version 0.7 ;), I need new renders now haha, I'll probably do some sigs for others games in the mean time.

I always find it so hard to choose. For me, Nova, Luna, Nancy, Alex, and Calypso all have so many upsides.

If you're talking about the sigs then my pref is definitly Calypso and surprisingly the one I like the least is Annie sig :unsure:

You should come to Bordeaux or Strasbourg, which are towns in France where you can taste great wine and I think you'll say otherwise ;)

No thanks. I had my fill of wine. Granted it was shit wine: Ripple and Thunderbird. When I was young. For research in how drunk and idiotic an underage drinker can be. :ROFLMAO: I got a PhD in that field. ;)

In that case that's ok you can make fun of it, however you can't touch 3 things:
Croissant, Baguette (or more Bread in general) and Wine, the rest is ok :ROFLMAO:
Click to expand...
German Bread > French Bread

French Wine -> Overpriced and overrated; Champagne tastes like if someone mixed piss with soda water and hyped it up as "innovative" back in the day

That enough French food slander for you to take back your Annie slander? XD

On the serious side Elyxus if you didn't care for it, make a new and better one. Use your skills to the max. Make it the best version you can.

I'll probably wait for 0.7 (and this time I will :ROFLMAO:) because I like what I've done with Annie sig, just personnal preference :)
The render I wanted to use the most is this one:
Annie powers.png
But it'll definitly require a lot more time than the others (and I'm hoping for a Annie render in 0.7 when she's using her powers, even though I know she won't appear that much in it)

I'm still behind on this. I gave up on the update with the bank heist, but need to power through it.
