I wanted your medal!

How about your choice of ribbons?

I'll take the adulting one, since I didn't wear pants today.

Only two entries to finish. I think we'll be seeing a more exact release date soon.

You realize it's all your girl Faye's fault it is taking so long. If her boobs weren't so big, @darkhound1 would have been done days ago. Everyone knows bigger boobs take longer to render and thus delay updates.

Ok, then maybe accept a delay for another couple of weeks

Jessica's transformation story is harder to do than I would have thought.
I had to find a way to use normal renders of her and Joy while she tells it. Couldn't have her showing it all on her phone with no reason for her to take pictures of the scene...
I think I've found a good way to present it now. I can tell as much - it's gonna be the longest single scene/event until now (by far).
It's mainly told from Jennifer's perspective. So it's a bit different than what you're used to.
It's about 2/3 done and it has almost 30 images and about 650 lines right now
You will learn some stuff about Jennifer, her ex boyfriend, some blonde bitch (not an island girl), some revenge story, dedication and some about Joy too. About 40% of the renders will have Joy and about 60% Jennifer content.

I've also replayed about 30% of the game and corrected blank images, spelling errors, bad image to image transitions and other stuff. I probably won't be able to replay it all before the release of 0.1.4 though.
The 30% took more than 5 hours - lol (well to be honest it was gameplay + correction time).

The events file alone has more than 11.000 lines by now

Here is Jennifer's body scan image from the lab (without her stats)


And here she is waiting for her second treatment:


AND!
I finally bought a second GPU today to improve render speed. If all goes as planned, it should be here tomorrow or thursday. It also means double the GPU memory, meaning I will finally be able to render bigger scenes with 2 or 3 characters without having to splitt it.

 

[Monsieur X]

Out of curiosity, which GPU did you buy ?

 

[rooney10]

Couldn't help but notice the technician in the 2nd Jessica treatment shot above. Nice.

 

[darkhound1]

GTX 1070ti - wanted to get a RTX 2080 or (ti), but they still seem to have memory problems. And you still have to use a Daz/IRay beta version.
A GTX 1080 is not faster than a 1070 ti in Iray due to later cuda cores in the 1070ti.
And the GTX 1080 ti doesn't make sense any more with the availability of the RTX cards that are much faster.
Once the memory problems with the RTX cards are solved and Daz/Iray non beta supports it, I will probably get a 2080 rtx as well. My mainboard has 2 GPU slots.

Is that going to work heatwise/powerwise operating two cards in parallel? Or are you running an unskinned box anyway?

So is that like an SLI/Crossfire setup? Whatever makes it easier for you to keep churning out this fine game and its updates.

That's correct, SLI is Nvidia and Crossfire is AMD. As long as Darkhound's PC setup detects both of those cards (From his responses, he is planning to), it as you said, speed up the process.

Current image/video score per girl (0.1.4 beta)

Hello everyone,

this is an updated sheet to show the number of content each girl has right now (meaning as I write this). The content will change a bit before the release of 0.1.4 beta.

Let me explain the most important columns:

rank (now): The girl's rank based on her current content. A video counts as 10 images (was 15 before). I have changed that. Main reason is that I reuse video files with different speeds. And 10 was more appropriate than 15.

rank (poll): The girl's rank based on the results of the extensive polls that were done for 10$+ patrons not too long ago.

Image deviation: Positive numbers mean the girl has too much content based on her poll results. Negative numbers mean the girl has too little content based on her poll results.

Now what to make of it?


Eva, Alice, Desire, Amy, Eva and Natasha do have too much content right now compared to Yvette

If you look at the numer 283 (the total under image dev.). You can see that Yvette has too little content now compared to the average of the girls. She needs 37 additional images to have a "fair" amount of content.

Joy, Yumiko, Jennifer and Faye need more content based on their poll results.
For Joy due to her special role, it won't be possible to give her that much content.

For all other girls, content distribution is more or less "fair" based on poll results.

Yes and no. IRay doesn't need a SLI bridge. You just plug the two (or even three or four) cards in and you can select them in the IRay renderer. It works in a similar fashion, but IRay auto handles the distribution of the workload to render to the two cards, so SLI is not required. It will even slow things down if you activate it.
Temperature is not a problem. My case it open on one side and has 3 huge fans too.
In addition IRay doesn't use as much GPU power (in terms of wattage) as gaming mode does. For whatever reason I have no idea. It just does.

[brianiac]

using the console
player.charm=xx
player.strength=xx
player.endurance=xx
player.lust=xx

I need to learn some python coding, but a quick google search showed that if you type dir(player) you get a list of properties.

The same works for the women. Ex. dir(amy). Changing their outfits becomes very easy.

 

[Adhera]

Is there like a event walktrough on how to activate each event?

 

[DuckSwim]

The girls on average have 60 character renders and 40 outfit render repetitions
The specials on average have 11 character renders and no outfit render repetitions

So specials are not much from where they should be if that is factored in fully.
Whether it should be factored in wholly or partially, well, probably partially, so 50-60 correction I suppose. ymmv.

---

0.1.4.0 major additions, based on a quick look,
- Desire looks to be taking a big jump 107/9 (render/video). Low render count change compared to her animations, guessing due to reworking her older events, so they provide some of the renders leading to the animations.
- Faye takes a smaller jump 76/3. guessing animatied poledance and/or sex event.
- Jennifer does 76/0 so her story bit will be a major one, but parts not completed yet, so will be bigger.

---

Not seeing how the 283 under imagedeviation means Yvette lacks 37 render. Should her 0 be a 37?
Anyone got on idea on what lead poll% is?

---

On a personal note : Videos changed to weight 10? Aaaaaaaargh. My content calculations!
Sigh. I should have made it a calculation in the content sheets not a static total. Have to redo them now, well, eventually

 

[titmanassguy]

Just curious because it's the 1 thing I'm missing now outside of some sexts, but the Yvette Climbing Out of the Pool Event, is done in the same way as the watching her sit and strecth by the pool events right? Have tried over and over again and just keep getting the sitting and stretching ones
