Do you really want players who solely focus on eye candy though? Don't get me wrong it's nice, but the thing that brought me in was the writing. I'm sure you didn't spend all that time planning before you even rendered anything focusing on what it would look like?
Don't know about style but I sure can't fit in as far as quality goes.Are stilettos really your style though?
Well it looks like you might have some talent for it then and a will to make it, those both combined with hard work often delivers gems. Even though you might now be able to do better,do not do injustice to the yourself off then. Lots of us noticed the game as of day 1, that was no accident.
Other than character design? No. Never gave it a thought! XD
Yep, yep, this what I meant when I was suggesting remastering gradually. But, it might be early to do so now IMO. I think you can still up a quality with better rig.
^That. I'd wait for the new GC before going for the remake, especially since you're bound to get better by chapter 10, and then will want to redo it anyway. *has seen it before*Yep, yep, this what I meant when I was suggesting remastering gradually.

The good thing about this is because I knew nothing, I didn't have any limitations. So the PDA thing, which got a lot of praise. I didn't know that it was hard to do. So I ended up doing something quite beyond the norm almost by mistake.
I suspect when she ever gets a way better rig and access to other render methods due to that, that she may play in a whole other league in the end. No better way to get good at something as while you have fun doing it.Yep, yep, this what I meant when I was suggesting remastering gradually. But, it might be early to do so now IMO.

I suppose what's at the back of my mind is so far, comparatively, it's not a very known or well played game. Now once Four and Five is out and we have sexings and perversity everywhere I suspect I'll attract a lot more players. And there to greet them is One and Two...Yep, yep, this what I meant when I was suggesting remastering gradually. But, it might be early to do so now IMO.

I've been doing everything I can to get more players here, I know a few others have been too, it'll build up over time!
It's certainly worth taking your time planning. That was one thing I did get right!I don't have a machine for rendering yet, my laptop can do very basic scenes; I have the kit to build a rendering rig, just need a power supply. I'm sure I have one in storage though.
Still, with all that I have managed so far and that I have planned, I don't see the first release of my game certainly this year and maybe not even until CH10 of your fantastic game has wrapped up. I'm just along for the ride at the moment!
While ultimately, the last word is yours, I wouldn't recommend using rendering time to redo both first chapters unless you're sure to be satisfied with the result. Then, it depends on a lot of things. Do you just want to upgrade the render's quality? Do you intend to change the scene's composition? Do you have a quick way to just launch a batch while you're doing something else (writing script, for example)?
Do not be to sure you have not been well played, though I have no idea how often the game has been downloaded here and other pirate sites. Getting traction does take time though and the example of bad devs do not make that part easier. I can understand though that you would prefer to make the whole game as perfect as you can and you understand the pros and cons. Only you can decide though what works best for you, so whatever your choice you have my support.
Yeah, and they're not as bad as you're making them out to be. I'm impressed that you were rendering backgrounds and characters separately. It really doesn't show. You should pat yourself on the back and allow yourself a warm feeling of accomplishment.
*smiles softly* Thank you
The four scenes in Two that need work are Annie in the bar, Annie in your room, and the Chris and Sarah visits. All look...not good to me. One is, suprisingly, more passable - but Annie in the engine room always looks a bit off for some reason, plus the tutorial on One isn't great. Then again the tutorial were the first ever renders I made tho!
No idea either. But it's "like" count isn't high. Well not really. Not if you compare it to other games of with an equal number of releases. So, since that's the only metric I have in respect of "plays" it's not looking that popular. Oh it has quality. Reviews and the best writer thingy - just no bugger plays it
True, the Annie in your room scene needs a little more time before Chris comes in like a cockblocking bull in a china porn store!
People who are in it for the storytelling, writing and characters will love Chapter 1 and 2.
