Hey everyone

As you know I'm working on the 0.9 release and something went wrong! As most of you know, I'm using Daz Studio. Well, they did a new update, which is a stable release, so I updated a couple weeks ago. Everything was fine - or so I thought.
Turns out this new update breaks some animation keyframes upon saving and loading. Meaning, among other things, Connor's cock is stiff as stick! And not in the good sense... I did the animations and saved them to be rendered at a later time, and that's when I noticed that basically I have to redo most of the stuff. So I spent the whole weekend trying to fix this. I have a workaround, but it's not ideal... Well, I'll just animate the lost keyframes again, and don't save it, just render it right away, then when it's finished, animate the next, render, repeat. Far from ideal but that's the best I could come up with.
The developers already know about the issue so I hope they'll fix it in the next couple of weeks.
Rolling back to a previous version is not possible either, because they don't allow to roll back. Also, I couldn't find a trustworthy source for a previous beta release either (it's against the license agreement to share it) :/
It made me really frustrated obviously, having to mess around with fixing this instead of doing actual progress. But anyways, this will probably cause a 1-3 day delay. I'll make sure the Elite version gets released this month for sure. Just wanted to give a heads up.

Now that I know about the issue, it won't affect any future releases, but we have 13 animations so far in this release (I wanted to do 2 more, I can probably squeeze them in) so that's actually more troublesome to fix than the previous update's 8 animations.
Other than that, not much to say. I'll keep working as fast I can to roll out the 0.9 update ASAP.

And as always, thank you for your generous support!

Lewdlab Belle, dev of Long Live the Princess, had the same issue. Solved by downgrading Daz Studio.

Belle, how did you get an older version?

I googled the specific version number of the previous release. Daz eventually sent me a download link to it too, after I asked them for it, but it took them over a week.

I once updated my editing software while in the middle of a project (like an idiot) thinking it was a minor update. It ended up being a complete redesign of the interface, which I had to learn and use all before my video was due. So, I'm pretty sympathetic to the problem here. Just glad he's taking it in stride with how productive he has been recently!

I work on big companies dev projects and my team and I have one rule : don't upgrade the tools and libraries until the the delivery is completed AND the acceptance over. After that, don't upgrade the tools but create a new build chain aside for the next development iteration.

I know that with DAZ it's a bit problematic as you need to duplicate a bunch of things, but it's doable. The trick is to keep the assets/scenes of version n-1 untouched by version n until you're about to start version n+1.
It works well for teams but with a bit of preparation it is doable in a one-man-project too.

Good luck for your projects anyway.

Totally, updating a software in the middle of a deadline, that's just procrastination.

Disappointed for sure but understandable. As someone who uses Premiere Pro I get this 100%.

And he's also earned back my trust with these late two releases being on time so 1-3 days isn't a big deal.

Punctuality is the most important thing, unlike the next house AWAM

Wow it takes a couple of months from 0.5 to 0.6 and then i come here after a while and suddenly it's 0.8? That's some speed...

If everything goes according to plan we should still see 0.9 drop this month (although there are issues with the new Version of Daz that kinda threw a wrench into the machine). But yes, things seem to be looking up and the troubles with development at the start of this project seem to be diminished, albeit not completely solved yet.

My bad! I gave the address for the old version of the game that was on Unity.

Try this address for the newer Ren'Py saves:

Hello, is it normal that I can't go see my aunt? and so I can't go to the dropsite halo what is blocking me in history ... is there a solution?

There's a walkthrough linked in the OP, just follow that and you're golden.

Any chance of posting a link?

I'd rather not since it would break the license agreement with Daz. I don't want to piss off the company my livelihood relies on. Besides, you've got Google too, don't you?

Yeah, I've now found it from a source I trust
