Another fantasy game is entirely out of the question. It's a matter of practicality. There are very few graphical resources for medieval settings in Daz Studio compared to, say, modern settings. I have expended almost everything that is worth using for the kind of fantasy setting I'm interested in.

You can tell that fantasy assets are a problem by the low quality of some of the backgrounds in LLtP. In fact, I had to use old, outdated assets as late as in 0.32, though I went over it and updated textures and materials to be more modern. I can't wait to start creating for a setting that has a lot more quality assets available to it.
Well, that makes sense; I should have guessed. Thank you for making a terrific game.

Oh, man! Terrific update and plot advancement. I'm not sure how I expected the new day to work, but I wasn't expecting that.
Beautifully done to Belle--not least for completing one update per month yet again. Bravo (or, more grammatically, Brava)!

For the record, it's been two months since the last update. I wouldn't have been able to make something this extensive in one month without killing myself. ;)

when will it come out for everyone :)
The new release schedule is that the public version is exactly one version behind the patron/subscriber version. In other words, 0.32 will become public the moment I release 0.33 for backers.

It's high up on my list of options for my next game, but I ended up deciding against it (though it's not 100% decided) because I don't think it makes much sense to go for two niche genres in a row if I want to grow my Patreon and SubscribeStar campaigns. If I had a great idea for a sci-fi story that I just had to tell, the business concerns would have gone straight out the window. As it is, however, I don't feel any stronger pull in that direction than I do with games that make more business sense, even from a creative point of view.
<GASP!> Oh so close and yet so far!..... Oh Reconsider I beg you.... With your story telling ability, it would be so fantastic...(DOWN blood pressure....DOWN)
OK, my enthusiasm aside, consider this. You say another fantasy is out as the DAZ sources are exhausted. Ok. So you're thinking of a mainstream modern idea. Ok, so I fear we'll get another of those 'young boys growing up and living with his mom and sis and lusting after the neighbor's wife' combo things. (sigh) Or some guy carving out a harem from a bunch of gangster molls while fighting off cops and machine gun kelley's. (another sigh)
SF may be a niche genre but it has as great a imaginary scope as fantasy and ...and there are lots of assets available. Also, the stage can seem infinitely large. and as for a plot....

(I got one!! ...I got one!!...but I don't want to let it out here)... well, even if you avoid cliche's there are many crossovers that would entertain while still allowing guys to "let off steam" a lot. and if it 'sniffed' of any SW/ST ishness, your fan base would grow exponentially.

All I ask is to put it back on your consideration list... Current day modern stuff is plentiful, but GOOD Space Opera is few and far between.... IMHO.. <pleading rant mode OFF>

I'm honestly just not interested in writing another epic story right now. LLtP has been incredibly draining. I want to make something lighter. With good storytelling, just at a smaller, more segmented scale.

How 'bout a Mass Effect parody? The world is still missing more well made babes in space parodies ;)
I'm not interested in making parodies, even though I'd probably make stupid amounts of money on it. It's just not creatively satisfying to me, and everyone else is doing it anyway.

Too bad, because those ME babes are sizzling hot.

I do hope you make something that isn't set in the boring old present normal world, because that scenario is really utterly saturated.

You should do what you enjoy. Everything else will fall into place. If you switch to a different setting simply because of asset availability or to make money, your creativity and, more importantly, your enjoyment will suffer. You obviously enjoy magic and historical fantasy. If that ticks the box for you, go with it. It'll all work out. Your success on this project is derived from your talent but also in large part from your enthusiasm. Don't let this become a job. You'll end up part way through projects bored and wanting to move on, and then it will get harder for you to give of your best.

I think you guys are completely missing my point here. The reason I'm dismissive of the ideas people are tossing my way is that I already know what I want to do. I'm not doing any of this because of business (well, mostly not, anyway). I want to do something I find fun. There's no need to try to convince me into doing so.

You need some refreshing then, like going to mountain or beach and throw all away every stressfull.. till you really want to make another adult game even just short and simple
