Sounds useful, I'll check that out. One other question, is there peeking at the door or is the ntr scenes only accessible at the end of the night going to her perspective?

At the end of the night is all Ive seen. There is also a map you can buy to show supply drops and things you can buy to increase your time to gather drops. 2 vendors, store and professor.

Heya everyone, for the AI stuff, I just decided to screenshare (Let's go Bandicam) how I'd ink and sketch something out and you can see for yourself from there. Unfortunately, the free version of Bandicam only allows me to go up to 10mins, so it got cut out but hopefully this should show the drawing part of my process. YouToob won't let me upload coz Evelyn's being a hoe again and Streamable has a 10 minute limit, so I'll just use Google Drive:

Inky ink: Google Drive
Sketchy sketch: Google Drive

For the other lore details if you're interested: I'm a Pen and Ink artist, so I specialize in mainly just using a pen and primarily lines to render out all of my drawings (For the most part), which is why my line precision/control is decent since it's what I work with.

Common issues found in the CG:
(1) Line fragments
- Mainly because I go through most lines again to erase/reapply ink so they look dynamic and nice, there are a lot of times things I erase doesn't get fully erased. In a single illustration where the deadline isn't tight, I do put most of my time to clean it up and make sure it's (mostly) clean. However, due to the nature of the CG's requiring multiple images in a single scene, it's unfortunate that at my current skill level and speed output, it'd take forever to make sure everything stays super clean, so I just make sure it's mainly refined in the important areas. Even then, there'd still be fragments I'd miss out since there's a lot to juggle and I just tunnel vision.

(2) Background Element Inconsistencies
- This is just a mistake on my part for being an amateur when it comes to BG's. As you can see, I mainly draw people. However, in the game, it'd be weird to just let them be standing in pure white background, so we had to put something. I'm not good with drawing BG's but I do know the fundamentals of perspective to make it not look warped at least. I gave some samples to Megy and he was fine with it (Since the alternative was no BG's at all or hire a BG artist which is super expensive), so we settled with me just doing it. Since I'm a learning artist, it's also a great opportunity for me to learn. You can see the progress of my art from the beginning to the end as the game progresses (v0.2 will show this better with the improved quality in CGs!). The CGs have been made within the course of almost 1.5 years (or so) timespan. Initially, I thought it was just a 3-5 illustration deal but as time went on, me and Megy worked more and more. Unfortunately, this meant that I never made an actual character sheet/background layout preplanned out, so some inconsistencies are there.

(3) Changing Light source/Color Rendering
- As mentioned above, I just suck at BG's. I do know and have a solid understanding on the fundamentals in theory at least, so that's why it doesn't turn out to be complete garbage. However, theory can only take you so far and so, I have to actually get in there and start drawing the thing. As mentioned before, the CG's from the start to now has an almost 2 years (Wow!) timespan since me and Megy worked, so there's bound to be changes as I'm also studying in my breaks to make sure I continuously improve and get better.

For the most part, the mistakes are made simply because I'm not as good as the other pros and my work gets sloppy sometimes as we'd like to hit deadlines so updates don't take forever whilst maintaining decent quality that doesn't ruin the immersion of your gameplay. It's not an excuse nor is it a good thing, so I am working myself to become a better artist everyday since the better I get, the faster I can work, which in turn will ultimately allow me to draw more for the game at a higher quality and more consistency. Hopefully (and ironically enough), the mistakes I've made here and have explained is what makes this human haha.

I think these are the main points needed to be addressed. Of course, feel free to ask me anything. I love talking about art and doing them. You can also scour through my socials and check out my other drawings if need be for you lads to check (There's a lot of them). I'll continue to do better as an artist, thanks for your patience and understanding!

Again, thank you all again for your support and engagement with the game. I don't take any offense to this (Which is why I never really said anything when it got brought up) but I don't want to be the cause of pulling down the reputation/image of this wonderful game, so I decided to type this lengthy essay to give some deets. I'm glad to see that people are at least interested enough to discuss about it, so hopefully this clears stuff up! Here's some porn studies and Alpha Chad Parker I doodled last night for the wall of texts:

i apologize for the accusation, i see now that the weighting on the blush lines could reasonably have been made with a pen tool. i think it was the gaps in the lines, as well as the first image missing half the blush, that made me suspicious. it's a common location to find AI-isms

wish you the best with your work!

I love how some people will call boomers "stupid" because they can't tell which one is AI.
But then i saw many other use machine to check if that video or image is made by another machine.
Some even went crazy and accuse any "out of place" details are AI generated base on nothing but "trust me bro" gut feeling.
I feel like the witch hunt fever all over again because people are too comfortable spiting bullshit online without verifying if it's true or not.
Look at this AI generated scene in the Simpson

I've seen RPGEmu (

) mentioned once and took the plunge since playing some RPGM games on my iPad Pro (2021) is quite tempting. Tested Forbidden Orders as well and the game works very well, both with the virtual keyboard and a controller :) I don't own an iPhone, so can't vouch for it working properly there or on older devices, but it may be worth a try.
