As for the first part, it's a tricky balance. You could move Nat things forward, or Ness/others back, but even with what I was saying earlier, you've probably found the right mix with how things are now (unless putting off Ness and club girl closed their paths or something).
Hah! My bad on the "new". Now that you mention it, I should have double checked the OP... Let's just go with "new for me". Hehe Since, you ask, I'll comment on a few things. I usually don't like a story the starts the MC out with a preexisting girlfriend. She's always a character I don't know yet and I usually am forced to play as a disloyal MC to pursue anyone else. I skipped several scenes that I would not have skipped if MC was not already in a committed relationship. By the time I got to the invite from Niss I just had to, finally, say fuck it. You give the reader plenty of excuses early on to want to dump the girlfriend but no choice to actually do it. I'm sure you have your reasons but I would like to suggest that a few key changes in story/dialogue could change it to a preexisting "casual relationship".
You more or less nailed it. Sara is a little bit harder to define in one or two words and while I think I talked about it in a much older post I'll expand a little if you're unafraid of spoilers.

The only girl who will see any significant transformation in the 'real world' will be Mol and she's already most of the way there. I'm playing with what will be her 'final form' right now but it's not going to be nearly as drastic as her simulation appearance. She'll probably lose a little more weight, get a tan, and maybe a titjob. Not huge (by porn game standards) but go just big enough to make it clear that she's had work done. Nat might end up gaining a little weight in the 'real world' but again it won't be as drastic as her simulation appearance.
There also might be some epilogue-style endings for some of the girls that see more extreme transformations for them and everyone else but that's pretty far down the line.
This is as good a time as ever to shamelessly plug myYou must be registered to see the links. I'd love to have some polls and stuff to let my supporters help decide on where I go with some of these things, but I'm going to need some supporters for that to work.
Most likely not intentional.A couple of the models seem to be a little cross-eyed for some reason but I think the issue is mostly the way I pose the characters to look at certain things. The script I use might adjust the eyes a little too much for close-in objects and since the camera angle isn't always dead on looking at the character in question it can end up standing out too much. I'll try to go back and fix all the egregious stuff but that will take a backseat to working on new content, for now I'll just be more careful.
None of the paths will get closed off. There might be some characters that only get 1 or 2 scenes total so if you skip them you would basically close the path off, but for everyone else I intend to leave plenty of on-ramps in case you just weren't interested in the initial offering. There will probably be stuff like with the club girl where you might get a different scene if you've already been with the girl before but mostly I want to avoid punishing players for choosing different routes. The stuff with Nat kind of ties into this where I don't want to punish you for staying faithful, that's super commendable given the fact that this is a porn game, so I'll probably try to come up with some kind of extra stuff if play the MC as a good boyfriend.
I talked about it in another recent post but yeah, I really struggled with how to handle the Nat situation.
That seems like a reasonable place for a final version of Mol. Sexy, but still human looking (the sim version was interesting/funny, but the face was closer to plastic surgery disaster territory). Breasts seem fine to me. I'm not strong on character design, so I can't think of any specifics to recommend. I don't know why, but the hairstyle feels underwhelming/not playful enough to me, but I wouldn't worry too much about that.
So the girls that I think we can classify as LI's, in the sense that they will get a decent amount of content throughout the game, are Nat, Mol, Sara, Ness, Stella, Claudette, and Izzi. There will be opportunities with the other ladies and I'm open to expanding roles if any character is particularly popular, Sin-D has had a lot of fans so she's getting a bigger role than initially planned, but as of now those are the girls with fully planned storylines. When it comes to the 'real world' Mol is the only one of those that is going to see any meaningful change in physical appearance. I talked about it some more in other posts.
Well, I would think it wouldn't be too hard to move Nat's cuckqueen status up a bit in the story so that MC doesn't have to cheat. Just my preference, I guess. I don't dislike Nat at all! In fact, I have a soft spot for her. But, as I said, when it became obvious that I was choosing between loyalty to Nat or intimacy with Ness... it became a moot point. Stella is my second favorite only because we don't know her as well yet. The moment at the bar was sweet. Yes, Ness is definitely my #1 girl up to this point. That tough chick shit didn't fool me a bit. My only wish was the MC had been just a bit more... well more. Hehe Don't get me wrong. I hope I see where you are going with him and I'm happy come along for the ride. Things were definitely looking up in the scene with Ness and Rose. Looks like it will be and epic journey...
Hair is one of the trickier things to settle on for the girls. Of all the DAZ assets, at least for the Gen 9 models I'm using, hair probably has the biggest variance in quality. They have a new shader that some of them use that generally looks really good but there aren't a ton of options yet and every time I use it for one of the girls it ends up making all the girls without it look like ass. If you scroll back in this thread you can see the before and after for Sin-D.
My 2 cents... Bring the hip bone in about an inch on each side.
To be fair, she doesn't actually have a dick. Most of the game will be taking place in the 'real world' so poor Sara will have to settle for a strap on if she wants to recreate the scene you're talking about.
Lovely to hear that. I thought we would spend a lot more time in sim.
Ness starts off on the wrong foot, because of the blackmail and prickly nature. Once we get past that, she seems like a blast. Looking forward to the all-clear from Nat to pursue Ness, Stella and Izzy (Sara and Mol are given). Claudette doesn't really do it for me (shame, with the red-hair), but I'm sure others are.
Yeah, the hips/pelvis/ass need tweaking. I still want her to have that big ol'booty but I might need to redo her whole lower body from scratch to get the desired result. The specific morphs/presets I was using originally didn't translate well when I made her skinnier. Ultimately, I'm going for a little bit of a Richelle Ryan / Ryan Connor body type which is surprisingly tricky to get right in DAZ.
I think it's less of an issue now but after the initial release I got the impression that most players assumed the majority of the game would be taking place in the simulations which led to some unfortunate assumptions about what type of game this would be. Which is understandable since most games on this site that feature a VR type thing are more focused on that aspect.
Yeah, I know. I used to do some blender work making bodies for Dragon Age, Skyrim and Fallout. Actually, I think you are close. Big booty is fine but get to the width gradually. She now has such a narrow waist that it makes her hips look too square. Two ways to fix that. She can still be fit with a wider waistline and she can still have a wide ass with the hip bones a little less prominent. Jus' Sayin'
IMO, you may want to write some additional notes in Notes section to streamline the expectations. People that actually read stuff would benefit a lot from additional info.
