I wonder what causes the complexity of the scenes is it because of various path choices or corruption points

The complexity of a scene is often related to assets or gesture used in a scene.

This can be hair assets, dforce, environment, facial expression, light setting etc. Do you remember the scene in the Sex shop? The DVD shelve in the store had a bunch of real porn movie covers and titles. All were hand picked and manual edit to fit the dvd covers. Also, the livelier a render feels the more fine work is needed to set up the scene. Not many devs do it which cause their renders look "cold" and "empty".

Some assets are a pain to work with too. In the game I worked, a blindfold asset changed the morph of the nose of the character. Adjusting this takes time. Sometimes even days!

Another problem is DAZ3d itself. The bigger your library is the slower Daz will become and might crash during a scene. When this happens and you didn't save your last progress you will have to set up the scene again.

Hopefully, this gives you a little insight of how complex 3D creation can be.

Cheers.

Basicly what the other two people above me said. Having the 3d models do some proper posing and proper expressions takes time. There's like a handful of developpers around here that do take the time to work on this. Then there's lightning and shading, working on backgrounds, etc. And after all that there's postwork in photoshop to make the renders really shine. If you compare Stoper's work with 95% of the other 3D games you find around here you'll notice a huge difference in the final product quality. The vast majority just half-ass it. They pick up some presets for poses and expressions, don't waste their time with setting lightning for their scenes, barely use any shaders, etc. Many people may not care for this attention to detail, but there are those who like me do care, because it helps a lot in making the story more engaging.

Then you also have the fact that this game actually has a story behind it and things actually make sense. Characters behave like real people and to achieve that you need to spend a little while in actually thinking in the scenes, the dialogues and the several interactions. Most developpers around here couldn't care less about that and just write some stupid story with stupid characters and throw you a bunch of sterotypical scenes with the fetishes their audiance wants them to and it's done.

That's why a quality product takes a lot more time to come out then the rest.

It's collection of previous choices and stoper's attention to details! For example - if you don't ask to be spanked from the director, then "cheerleader meeting" with him will not happen and another event will take this place. I wonder what it will be by the way....

stoper should completely eliminate this option, I just want to know the idiot who chooses the clean road, and even if they do they lie a second before. I really don't understand all of this.

yes of course in practice it is like playing football without a ball. yes, but everyone has his tastes.

There's people with different kinks/fetishes, so some what may be appealing to you may not be to others. The same way some people may not like a certain character or a certain route, that's why there's choices so that people can actually go through the content they enjoy instead of being forced to watch something or having to continuously interact with a character they would rather avoid.

But you cannot do something open to 360 ° you have to limit yourself otherwise you will no longer end up combining all the choices, ways and fetishes and making everyone happy. You have to be a little drastic and say if you're not okay with it so play another game. If you read all the comments there are those who would not want Connor in the way; those who want Jessica only lesbian; those who want her with 2 men; others with an old man and still others would like it in the hands of a hobo or more than one. poor Stoper is to be stoned.

No, not at all it was just a joke about "When it's ready".
That was the line at the end of the first CGI teaser of Cyberpunk in 2012 I think.

I wanted to share with you what the next update will be in my opinion.

awakening (between breakfast shower) it seems very likely that unfortunately jessica is wearing pants this time. go to work with the usual long string of dialogue and in my opinion there will be no scene here.
After maybe there will be two options for school but I think stoper will opt for the single choice of cheerleader dress, there will be the famous spicy scene he has been talking about for two months with maybe an animation if time permits. after he should go to tommy and there I really don't know what he could come up with since he seems to have neglected this character a lot throughout the game not that I regret it. In general I believe that the scenes are these or just two.

he has to go to the principal at 5 pm, so tommy should be in the office first;
there should / could also be a scene with mr parker on newsstands.

indeed, if it were so, there would be very little; there must be something else

Nah, the ones who butchered that expression are those con artists at CIG that work for Crobber. At least CD Projekt Red releases finished products.

You're quoting yourself...interesting. Forgot to switch accounts?

rather than modify I preferred to quote; but basically yes: you discovered me, in reality I am L&P

If you had outed yourself as Busted1201 it would have been more fitting. But I am not the one to judge, really. I have also a second, more family friendly account which I only use when my kids are around.
