I am on Windows 10. No save is being used at all, not gone far enough to save. I'll try it again from the start if it does not work I'll wait for an update. Thanks anyway, looks promising.
That's weird. Tell me if it crashes again. Sorry about that.

I deleted the game and reloaded it. All is working fine now. Seems that the script by jokeleader may have done something. I ran it without adding the script and it appears to be OK now. Sorry if i caused any undue work.

I found out that one of the problems are indeed the materials. I fiddled around and I think that I may have found a solution. Light is very tricky to get right without losing shadows or obliterating the textures.

You are correct about the backgrounds still being crappy, but I still have my reservation about using photo backgrounds because, at least to me, it usually falls into some "uncanny valley" of sorts, with a photo real background and a not photo real character. I'm looking for the possibilities, like the things you said and using depth of field. This will be my next main focus.

But I think that I'm making progress, This image is a lot better than the ones in the game and didnt use any post-work.

So slow but surelly, I'm improving.
Thanks for your insight.
Yes, much better quality image. Best of luck to you.

Initial thoughts. Feels like a first game. The breasts and dicks are just a little too big without going into that uncanny valley, and the facial textures on the women just seem off. The young girls have faces like 40 year olds, also some make up coloring might go a long way as to making the girls prettier, it feels like it's just the default texture and coloring and it kind of makes all the flaws of the faces stick out. It's the same problem with meshes/skins that Mass Effect Andromeda had that turned Sara Ryder into a meme.

Also I'm thinking if you learn lighting if would improve things immensely.

Also keep getting an "out of memory" error. I've got over 9 gigs free on my hard drive and haven't been getting this error on any of my other games.

Noted. I'm working on these issues.
About the error, that's weird, d you have a traceback or can give me any more details about it?

Thanks for playing.

youre going to release 0.2, some optimistic guys gonna tell you not bad, keep going
but no one going to pay you and, people start to vote ur game, you're going to disappointed and another piece of trash for abondoned hell

some people will hate me for this but i'm sick of tired.
this is not a game or vn or anything, this is just lets show these pervs some porn slides and take their money
they want to earn easy money with 0 effort
story, gameplay, art this shits matter guys
i don't want to spend my time to childish cliche shitty 3d porn slides
i want to connect with characters i want to see their desires and stories with beautiful art of course
this and this kind a games makes me to lose my belive this world ( f95 etc )
I don't care what these kind of wanna be dev's feels
so go on attack me for being hater
I feel you. I understand you. I sympathise with you. You are not alone in your frustration. But those who have No taste in porn would disagree.

Thanks! I want to make animations but they are a new beast to tackle. Don't rule them out but i can't say they will be added anytime soon.
Don't worry about animations. A sex scene with multiple high quality still images and various positions is far better than one half-baked 3-frame "animation"

Yeah, I'm still thinking what's the best way to do it, the next update is going to be a lot bigger and I don't want to compromise doing animation since I can't do it properly yet.
Thanks.

CatNip23 , too many errors, like by example :
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "game/script.rpy", line 745, in <module>
NameError: name 'schoollockerdialogue' is not defined
This being due to that :
Code:
label start:
    [...]
    $ abbyfrontschool = True
    $ frontschooldialogue = True
    $ schoolcorridor1dialogue = True
    [...]
It's not how you should declare variables, and not at all how you add variables to existent content. You should use the default statement instead :
Code:
default abbyfrontschool = True
default frontschooldialogue = True
default schoolcorridor1dialogue = True
[...]
label start:
    [...]

I have fixed this in the next update, thanks for mentioning. If you got anything else let me know.

" After another mysterious accident, you are forced to move again to a new city. " This statement makes it sound an awful lot like this game is a sequel. If so, where's the first part?

How to open the locker? The code is given upfront, but I'm stuck rotating...
Just rotate the dial to each number, first put in 2, then in 36, then in 5, like anti-clockwise, clockwise, anti-clockwise.
If you mess up just reset
