Read the Companion Guide, which is linked on the opening page of this thread. Start in the table of Contents and it will direct you to page 28.
I've already read it. I kissed them, interrogated them and then ran, tried in reverse order, but it didn't work. That's why I ask how it works. There is only an icon for a walk.

I'm not sure where you are going with the kiss/interrogate part of this, as that doesn't affect endurance.

Your endurance goes up from (mostly) jogging or swimming. Each session earns you a credit or two, and at the end of the week if you have enough credits you get a point of endurance (same with strength, hacking, looks...).

I've always found endurance to be hardest because there are no bonus credits (such as strength training with Jennifer), and every once in a while it seems like I get no credit for a jog or a swim even if I stay under the max sessions for the week.

Guys, help! How to increase endurance? I ran on the beach, ran to the gym and swam, but it didn't give me a point. Should be with a girl? But how?

If you have read the Guide then you should know that Jennifer tells you exactly how to increase endurance and there is an accompany chart detailing how many times to workout, run, swim, etc. Not enough and you'll never level up; too much and you lose points.

You cannot swim with Yvette on the beach. Walk, have her pose for you, etc. but the only place you can swim with Yvette is the pool.

The maximum for a week of participation is 3. But for 60 he wants 4 points. How to come + 1. For strength it is possible on the couch if you help the girl.

OK, first off: You do NOT increase endurance by performing any action with one of the girls. That's not how it works. It works exactly like I stated HERE.

Second - settle down a little. Stress doesn't help your endurance!

They (endurance credits) don't reset every week.. You'll get the endurance point soon (next week).


Also, please stop double posting. We hear you and we're trying to help. Can you please delete the duplicate posts?

Sorry, the internet is playing something on me. That's why there are so many posts. Thanks for trying to help.

Yes, they are rather pleasing :)

Though as it happens Miriam and Mercedes are an acquired taste.
I was none too fond of them at their introduction in 2019.

It took me some years to come around to them as a matter of fact.
But moving on to rendering has changed my perspective (as Ivyness and Mi shows).

Mumblings aside, some background trivia for Miriam and Mercedes.

Ancient Lore : MnM origins
They have their conceptual origin in a cave woman, who hails from GreenT64 (by and large no longer active).
Darkhound engaged with GreenT64 and an agreement was made.

Upon moving into the Darkkhound "sphere" of girls, the cave woman concept was split into two persons, Miram and Mercedes are born. (The story behind can be found on Deviant Art and Patreon )

Edit
I prefer them without tan lines, so no plans to replicate those (I know no one asked, just general heads up to any readers)
Nice, thanks for the heads up on the back story. It's good to see an idea not go to waste. Do you have a link to the DA page with the details? [edit] doh! I was already watching GreenT64 on deviantart, he has indeed not been very active.

I think I also prefer them without the tan lines but they're so damned hot that I'd never complain!

I can understand folks that aren't necessarily attracted to their figures ;each to their own after all. For me, on the other hand, they are pretty much perfect. So astonishingly so in fact that I'm worried DarkHound and GreenT64 must have hacked into my brain somehow .

Wow! I actually let out an involuntary growl when I saw this one! I'm loving Mi's abs in this.

As I said last time, your renders recently have been absolutely top notch for me! Did you get the codes to hack into my brain from DarkHound by any chance? (see my reply to your last reply)

Believe it was somewhere on GreenT64's DA. I just followed the Patreon reference and looked around, do not remember exactly where anymore :unsure:

The cave woman idea itself is of course much older than anything 3D. Amazon woman mythos merged into something busty, muscled and fur clad, in the heyday of comics.

But thats getting more than a bit off topic.
So people will have to go look up that themselves.

One letter difference. I didn't say more DarkhoundS. I said more Darkhound. I don't know exactly what improvement he would need for more coding capacity. Obviously somehting different from the M&M's. But then Joy is the specialist on that. Although consulting Daniela may help too.
I know it was meant with a wink and a joke :)
But to add a little info.

In older days the tasks mostly stated in 'working on it' status until completely done.
So the 'renders are done's' purpose is to provide a more detailed progression update.

That 'Renders done' occurs before another status is just the work order. Which probably looks somewhat like this,
Concept -> Renders -> Writing -> Code and Integration.

The real limitations are time and creative cost, be it idea based, writing or the conception of the renders (not to be confused with the technical rendering itself)

Which, imo, is where the specials come in (as elaborated in my post on a prior page).
Short of adding more Darkhounds (the original being at capacity) it cannot be otherwise.

Nice! This update is looking to be a good one. I've just built myself a new PC so I might just do a fresh start to relive all the content again when DarkHound releases it.
