Yeah, I changed it, I tried the Harem way, but it's really not for me. Character development is... Meh, in a harem, or at least I can't get better than meh.
Also one Milf is a LI

I guess we need to see more of the story and how he uses both paths to judge, for me right now I consider him either being Selfless or Assertive because even on the selfish path the protagonist seems too nice to be considered selfish.

Yeah, that is a fair point. It is early to tell. More of choices between: 1) I want to become the best lawyer to use my "powers" to help people; versus 2) I want to become the best lawyer in the country for myself. Kind of like all being on the Good alignment in DnD, with varying degrees of goodness.

I'll be more interested in how the LIs will do their "assessments" of the LI. And how a subtle different in language (helping others or be the best, for example) that'll affect the gating of them. That's where my biggest concern lies for the game. It seems kind of arbitrary that someone would "lock out" because you are a bit too selfish or selfless, or aren't balancing the neutral line properly.

Going on as full of a Selfless path as I was able to, I was still able to kiss Aurora, visit her dorm, go on the movie date and fool around, have the deep conversation on the train ride home, and she still stands up to stop the alcohol from coming into the party. So not sure how I see where the gating will come in, in a way that makes sense. "Oh MC, sorry, you made a few too many selfless choices, and I'm neutral, so we are locked out now." just seems like an odd conversation to have no matter how you word it.

Like you said, we're too early in. I think down the road, the MC will be presented with larger moral dilemmas and the "selfish" option will be more like a lawyer known as a shark, doing anything to win, crossing ethical lines, etc. We've seen this out of Aurora already as she used her femininity in order to get her hands on information she wouldn't have otherwise for the mock trial. A selfless MC probably wouldn't go that route and eventually will be in a situation where Aurora just isn't impressed anymore.

I'm hoping the 'neutrals' won't require very specific playthroughs in order to keep the MC neutral. Otherwise it'll just be an on-rails story for them. Having to keep score, for example: "I need to make 10 'selfless' and 10 'selfish' choices to keep myself neutral" would just be forcing on-rails paths.

Neutral, in my opinion, should be open to any alignment as they fit in between both. Perhaps if you take a particularly "selfish" decision point, they may express displeasure or question it, but not lock out their path. Or if you take a particularly 'selfless' decision point, they may ask about why you went that way. As there is a time and place for both in different scenarios.

I'll whatever it takes for some Miranda booty. I do think this is pretty ambitious so I hope MisterMaya can see it through to completion.

I have a hard time imagining our MC crossing ethical lines or acting with no regards to the other person, even on selfish path.
I think in selfish path he is going to be someone who's direct and confident but still goes by the rules and tries to help others, based on how he still has been helping his group of friends and how he still looked worried about Aurora even after everything she had done... Of course as you said it's still too early in the story and he could still change his personality...

I just finished Episode 2, and I have to say, there are quite a few intriguing mysteries. I have some ideas about some of them, and I'm all-ining on my theory about Jack.

Hey everyone,
Unfortunately, not all weeks can be productive, and this past week was one of those tougher ones.
A lot of unexpected events happened, and I couldn't create enough renders to even call it a productive week. Some good things did happen, but they came at the expense of my productivity.
First of all, I got the third rig up and running. I had made the mistake of ordering the wrong RAM, so I had to stop midway through building. I finally received the correct RAM on Saturday and completed the build. It's now fully operational and currently working on rendering some of the animations I've created. I couldn't be happier about that. Now, I need to create a lot more renders to keep up with my expanded rendering power, but that's a challenge I'm happy to have.
I also released the demo of Law School on

, which was well received. If you haven't played it yet, I encourage you to give it a try and wishlist the game—it really helps a lot.
On top of that, The Entrepreneur secured a spot in a new bundle on Steam, which took up some of my time as I was responsible for creating the graphical assets.
Unfortunately, all these smaller tasks ended up hindering my progress. And yet again tonight, I ran into another issue that needs fixing. After transitioning my G8 characters to G8.1, it somehow altered my library in a way I don't fully understand—but only on my main computer, not the other ones. Now, some expressions I regularly use won't load properly when I send renders to the queue. Ideally, I'd just copy my library from the main rig to the others, but I don't have a portable drive large enough for that, so I need to find another solution.
Honestly, these are just the kinds of issues that come with developing AVNs. It sucks, but I'll figure it out eventually. The only downside is that it'll take some time to sort out.
Anyway, let's talk about the progress I did make:
  • 702 static story images
  • 28 animations
  • 14 scenes fully written
That means I created 60 new images and two additional animations this week. It's been my slowest week in a while, but I won't dwell on it any more than I already have. I'll make sure to come back full of energy on Friday, ready to crush some work.
Now, I need to try and fix this issue, so I'll catch you all next week.

Um, someone please explain to him how to set up a lan and simple windows file sharing. Sure a NAS would be the eventual solution but I don't understand why he thinks he needs a physical drive to transfer data between two computers in the same room. $20 switch and a couple cat-6 cables. (y) And he doesn't even need to copy it, just mount the drive over the network. That also keeps the library central so any future changes or additions will immediately be available to all the machines.

Router's not in the same room and I'm working with 5mbps in upload
I'm working on setting a NAS network with Synology, but I need a router in my bedroom, and that is complicated since we need to pull lines and I'm a tenant, so for now, it's not an option
