With storage so cheap these days why in 2024/2025 are devs not backing up their assets? And while HDDs are still cheaper than SSDs per GB, especially the higher you go, you're sacrificing way too much, including reliability to use them for anything other than something like an 8TB HDD for mass backup.

I mean, yeah, and there is so many cheap cloud storage places as well, hell MEGA gives you 20GB free and can make as many burners accounts as you want, and they never remove them unless you don't log in for a year. Hell OneDrive gives you a lot of free data to.

You can also can get recertified drives for pretty cheap here at


Seagate $149.99

That's 12TB! And there are SO many more there.

Right, I didn't even go into the free options, there really is no excuses.

this is the Authors latest post on their sub page:

I understand a lot of you will unsubscribe from the following news.

I think this is the 2nd time I have had an SDD failure. This time taking all my Vicky assets from DAZ and a whole chapter of renderings. I am still trying to recover the files, looks like I'm going to need a professional recovery team or specialist. And who knows how long that will take.

And I was never really happy with LWV renders in the beginning, I've since learned so much. Not to mention I have a brand new PC with an upgraded graphics card. So in my head instead of abandoning the project like I said I would never, I'm going to remake it completely. In this new remake there will be:

  • no Sabrina, just Vicky, and MC.
  • it will be shorter and only focus on MC and Vicky.
  • New improved character models with the latest G9 for realism.
  • Much improved renders thanks to my new graphics card.
  • The storyline will be mostly the same, I will only implement the changes you guys asked for, i.e less creepy MC, no "force" and fewer side characters.
  • more animations
  • a more cinematic experience instead of 16:9 I will be experimenting with 2:35.1 renders.
Again, thanks for the support guys. I understand that most will unfollow, but I guarantee you that this is an improvement and will pave a pathway to the quality of VN's I make in the future.

thanks,

stanny

Just my opinion and i know it's not a popular one, i kinda like that the MC is an asshole. Force is such a strong word i prefer to say that the MC encourages Vicky to give in to her base desires by being steadfast in His desire. He is just a sick little deviant with no morals at all. I think he should stay that way. Makes for a far more engaging story.

There does seem to be trend of annoyingly passive male mc's. I can't understand the issues people seem to have when the male characters show even a little assertiveness. Many games even have sex scenes where the guy just lies there like a dead fish, hands down at his side, as if afraid to even touch the woman.

doing test renders and seeing what I can do with the new machine, I am about to start chapter one. Luckily I feel like most of LwV has been written for me, all a matter of making it flow.

This should give you guys a feel of how different it could look. I've learned tons from the previous versions. A more realistic Vicky. More attitude. More expressions will lead to a better story.

I've been able to recover most of my assets, so be ready for more updates and the release of the very first chapter.

stay tuned.

im in love with newer renders over first set of renders as they are even more realistic and UNIQUE than first set as no one else uses them(especially Vicky) which is amazing i actually looking forward to checking out all the new renders when the update releases whenever :love:
