it'd be sure loss after new page.What do you want to bet someone asks?
If people would bother to read the thread, I've acknowledged the poor quality of some of the images in the early episodes numerous times. They will be remastered at some point.Ya know, man, LWtbo sometimes displays a level of tolerance that is just - well, I know we are supposed to "suffer fools gladly" but he might qualify for sainthood... jus' sayin'
But, yeah, I'm with you... ignore it till it goes away.
I guess I wouldn't notice because even the older renders in the early chapters look pretty damn good on my quad GTX1080ti and 32' wall screen monitor. Don't need no stinkin' compressions... jus' sayin'If people would bother to read the thread, I've acknowledged the poor quality of some of the images in the early episodes numerous times.

When I started this project, I downloaded DAZ and started to learn how to render on the fly. Plus, the rig I had at that time had a subpar GPU. I've learned a lot and upgraded my rig to produce better images.
I'm a self-taught, one-man gaming studio... I wouldn't expect my images to compare to the big titles that have dedicated, formally trained illustrators and animators.
It's humorous seeing critical comments from people that have zero idea what it takes, nor the talent to produce anything themselves. Daz is free to download. Show us what you can do...
I do question the further compression of the game effecting image quality. I use jpeg rather than png to manage the size of the game. Plus, I upscale images by 1.5 when I render them, then resize them back to 1080p. That has a compressing effect on its own. The compressed version of the game looks like crap to me. I understand some folks have limited download bandwidth. As long as they understand compression greatly impacts the image quality.
The 0.9.1 full update does, the 0.9.0 to 9.0.1 patch doesn't. If you didn't have 0.9.0 already you need the full update.The update doesn't load any of the images in the game (Mac)
There's still a fuckton of grammar errors that i hope will be fixed. It's not "end of the world" bad but the grammar nazi in me cries a bit.
Yo OBD, got a question. Figured since this thread has been quiet lately, I'm going to ask an asinine question. Do you know what type of schedule you have plan for Ep. 10? Figured I visit my fallback after learning of a popular game getting abandoned.The 0.9.1 full update does, the 0.9.0 to 9.0.1 patch doesn't. If you didn't have 0.9.0 already you need the full update.
Pretty sure we can count on OBD to finish this. Remember that he is only one dev working alone so we just need to exercise a little patience. In fact, pretty sure that he already has another title in mind as a sequel or continuation once Long Road Home is finally completed. So, we are still in for a good long ride with the Old Biker Dude for the foreseeable future. Hope that helps you my friend.Yo OBD, got a question.

Actually, it was a popular college game that had a nice following and you always had to wait for the gold edition. As far as OBD is concern, I have no worries. I'm just trying to squeeze some information out of him.Pretty sure we can count on OBD to finish this. Remember that he is only one dev working alone so we just need to exercise a little patience.

Been wondering when someone would poke their head up here. Good to see you, Runner and Phat. Been seeing you around here and there. I don't post on most threads like I do here. I always check this thread and I'm so confident in OBD that I never talk about the abandonment thing in regards to Long Road Home. It was a shame about that other title, although, I had a sort of "love/hate" thing about it. Anyway.... good to see you both and.... I hope OBD will give you a ballpark when he stops by; I would be interested as well. LRH updates are always anticipated and welcome to hear about for me.

You sweat grammar but not capitalization?There's still a fuckton of grammar errors that i hope will be fixed. It's not "end of the world" bad but the grammar nazi in me cries a bit.
Good to hear from you, OBD. I wasn't aware of the RL and hardware things. Glad it is smoothing out for you. I guess the idea that bumps in the road and glitches in the virtual only make you stronger is a thing for devs as well, eh? I'm on my third re-read of LRH inspired by the recent "grammar and quality" update. I'm taking it very slow and using it to give myself a LRH fix from time to time. I guess that only shows how addicted I've become to this story and its characters. As Phat would say, "Adventure on, Bro."I need a good squeezing from time to time...
I'm working on 1.0 but it's been painfully slow. I have been dealing with several RL issues that required a lot of attention. Nothing bad but had to be addressed. I wrapped up the main one this weekend.
I do not have a timeline on 1.0. I don't know if you saw it several weeks back, but I lost my C: drive. I had to do the normal PITA reinstall of windows and all my programs. I had most of my DAZ stuff backed up, but I did lose some locations that I had to recreate. No big deal. When I replaced my C: drive, I upgraded my GPU to a RTX 3090ti with 24gb of VRAM so I'm turning out renders faster. Yay!
DAZ is a resource hog. I installed most of the DAZ assets off my C: drive so I won't run out of room and have to shuffle files back and forth. (A lot more efficient use of time.) When I reinstalled DAZ, I updated to the latest version. It's mostly the same, but they changed and moved shit around that I'm still getting used to.
The main script for 1.0 is fleshed out and it's a lot. I may split it. No worries it will be finished. There is still so much left of this story to tell, I haven't started thinking about another project.
The scenes I have been working on haven't really had anything tease worthy. Once I have some, I'll be sure to drop them on you.
R.R. must be over the raibow now we all know and I for one am gratefulYou sweat grammar but not capitalization?
Which version are you talking about? Unless you can provide some examples, you can keep fucking crying...
