Honestly, seeing it 'in context' it's not as big a deal. I think it pops a little better, and feels a little more alive. Though she looks awfully sunny for Scotland. It's a valuable reminder that art is meaningless without context.

So, I was working on some photos for Act III, where you start upgrading the Crowley. As you upgrade the pub, better customers show up... including this wood-pixie. Who may be a little bit of a lightweight.




Anyway, I posted those on discord and

well, when you consider the proportional size of the drinks... no wonder she's a nekkid drunk!
...but doesn't the alcohol sting in intimate places??? I guess she is "feeling no pain" ha ha ha!

So. I finished animating Bella, and added her in. To get the size right I placed her next to Katie to make sure they were the same height.

Well. Goddamnit. Katie was the first girl I completed (Chloe preceded her, but got redone later). You can kinda see the evolution in me a Daz artist in the last 6 months.

Now, part of me just wants to close my eyes and forget it. But...

Leftmost is Katie as she is in-game today. I then did 3 quick render-passes looking for a better lighting model. Rightmost is Bella, which started this problem.

So if I DO decide to fix this.. (let's stop kidding myself, I can't unsee this). How much work is it? Well, I just recorded myself doing an Animation for Bella, so.. about 5 mins per pose. And another 5-10 mins to pose/render the image. So it'll be a focused hour's worth of work. Probably worth it to avoid Katie staring accusatorily at me each time I see her on screen.

Ahhh the perfectionist is revealed and knows enough to laugh at himself and admit it!
aaaaaand yeah it will likely take you a little longer than that... but in the end you will be glad you did it.
Katie will too...

Think of it as the ray of a sun break piercing the overcast to spotlight a being of exceptional magical focus...

Weird. Can you get me the save game, I'll have a look? Internal storage/android /data/com. Droidproductions. Love of magic /files.

(sorry, this is a bit of a pain on android)

 

[Snowwulfe]

here is the save

 

[Snowwulfe]

I even tried to pull up the debugger in case there was a way to forward through where I was stuck. All it does is it says you have to meet her at school takes you to school the you tap her it says later. and that's it xD

Will check it out as soon as I'm back on a computer (on android atm, thus the typos )

I appreciate it, great game by the way I have been enjoying the story thus far.

any progress?

 

[Droid Productions]

any progress?

Well, yes and no. It triggers immediately here, when I load your savegame.

I'm going to try to do a build for you now, just to see if there's anything new I need to fix. It's obviously in mid act III production, so if you go past the end of Act II, expect bugs

- Spelling mistakes and typos reported

- Ceremonial Magic V class, Ceremonial Homework V homework, Night after homework scene implemented

so good news we got past that part that was looped but now once you get to the dungeon same issue happens T.T

 

[Droid Productions]

ah; that one's caused by this being a mid-development build, where i've Just added additional dialogs, without fully guarding all the triggers. There's a conversation there, it's just not got any text. Notice how there's two empty lines above "later"? That's actually the game thinking Emily has a conversation she doesn't. Just click on the invisible line.

I started a new game after the update to do another playthrough.
I am on day 19 and have not been able to attend ONE class at all, there is no prompt, no option, when I go to the university there is only an exit waiting for me to go to the world map.
On the many days off I have, I keep trying to go to the basement into the portal, but I am stopped continuously with the MC saying we need to attend more classes first....great so how DO we then?
