Hi everyone...
I hope you all had nice holidays. I spent mine with my kitties and my puppy. Thank you so much for downloading the latest update and for all your feedback and opinions. After reading through everything, I've made some important decisions.
Let me share the big news!
First, I'm going back to full 3D (just Daz3D), dropping the AI + Daz3D blending. Your feedback, combined with the new solutions I found, really helped me make this decision.
About the technical improvements - you'll notice I've attached several PNG images of the new main menu. Let me break down what you're seeing:
  • Pure Daz3D with Photoshop clipping fixes and Lightroom adjustments
  • Upscaled textures to 8K (used AI just for this)
  • Combined with original textures
  • AI-assisted JPEG compression and DDS error removal
  • Added normal maps and bump maps
  • New optimized render settings (finally found the sweet spot!)
Speaking of story progress, remember how I mentioned Chapters 1-4 are Act 1? Well, all these new images you're seeing are part of Act 2's story!
Oh! I discovered something amazing - Obsidian! You wouldn't believe how helpful it's been for organizing ideas and connecting all those scattered notes from various Word docs, Excel sheets, and random papers around my house. I've included the "neural" network view of what I've done - each dot represents a connected element. It might not make sense to you, but I wanted to share anyway!
About character development:
  • I noticed your comments about some good AI effects, like Madison's improvements. So I've tried to achieve better shaping naturally, making her slightly different from her pre-remake version
  • All female characters got new skin textures, including Aoi and Aya (non-LIs returning in Act 2). Aya's got a new hairstyle too!
  • Elizabeth's aging effects are now achieved without AI - something I thought impossible before! Yes, she looks worn and sad now, but don't worry - she'll have a glow-up in Act 2
  • Those who played before the remake might remember Kitsune - she's coming back in Act 2
For Episode 5, as promised, Elizabeth will be the main LI (both present and past versions). Nanami, Amber (present and past), and Paz will be part of the subplot. I'm really excited about including those "past" images, like we did with Nanami's conversations with MC - seeing the memories instead of just reading about them makes everything more impactful, don't you think?
I'll start converting the draft into something more concrete and begin rendering soon.
Kisses to everyone and thank you for your support

Using AI in a segment where you're already good I think is a very questionable decision to begin with. The only possible reason I see for this approach is so that the characters and environments don't have that distinctive “DAZ style”, which would make the visuals more unique. But, as practice has shown, it is almost impossible to maintain a single clear style after AI processing (at least, for now).
So, I glad the dev decided to drop the AI - her artstyle is really nice.

When I play, I feel that the plot of the bottom life in Japan is deeply exciting and extraordinary. on the contrary, the story back in the rich harem is slightly mediocre.
It wasn't until I saw that the author's page was a Japanese female indie producer that it dawned on me.
Extraordinary art comes from the lives of ordinary people. salute to every mortal. salute to YUKANA. (y)

After playing 0.23, I feel that this game is a strong contender for the most painful tragedy porn game in the future.
The female developer delicate writing techniques and Yukana attitude of striving for excellence.
Behind the perfect tits paradise lies a excruciating pain story.
