Muhahahaha - Full Speed May/June 2119. The DEV of the Century
Got sucked into a random portal in my living room. Arrived in the year 10 Billion. Accidentally cuckolded the Emperor of Everything with all 47 of his wives, at once. Made a daring escape from the prison planet to which I was exiled. Gathered allies. Led a rebellion into a planet-shattering civil war spanning all of time and space. Forged a pair of magic gauntlets out of the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. Challenged the Emperor to a boxing match to decide it all. Made ten quintillion stars supernova simultaneously with each blow. Stood over the Emperor's corpse, victorious. Went to go kiss my new wives.So anyone did anything productive during the last 9 months since the last update?
I took a shower.
Ah ok, i didn't know this thing… but what will happen if Bob knows of the relationship between MC and Linda?Yes: The plan is that every girl's route splits into two once you hit 5/5. For Linda, that'll be whether Bob knows or not.
Nope. Gotta wait until Linda's next update (scheduled to be v0.8, due out in December) to see how the story continues.Ah ok, i didn't know this thing… but what will happen if Bob knows of the relationship between MC and Linda?
The consequences of this choice are already known?
Bob is like salt...Its Existence in every Food is vital and yet it somehow doesnt get acknowledged so if you ask me all he can do is sit and watch as MC makes love to Linda and accept this as his fate.Ah ok, i didn't know this thing… but what will happen if Bob knows of the relationship between MC and Linda?

Woke up on my couch. Realized I'd had waaaay too much cough syrup the night before.
Why do you gotta go dragging me into these things! I'm trying to work over here!You are arguing based on a faulty premise. That being Mr. Dots or some random guy makes images as nice as ICSTOR. Don't get me wrong, I love DMD, but no way Mr. Dots' images have the quality that ICSTOR's have. Look closely at some of Mr. Dots' images, and you'll see things like clothing clipping, feet hovering, etc.
I'm not an image expert, but I know quality when I see it. Quality takes time. And if you don't believe me, I bet artists like stoper , RomanHume and Philly_Games would agree. Suggesting that he change his workflow to go faster (and lose the quality that he needs* to make) is way out in left field.
* My opinion, based on my interpretation of his work and writing.
Artists named above picked because they focus on image quality and are active on these forums. And I know I've read rants** by each of them on quality!
** "rants" is a joke! Chill out guys!![]()
And ICSTOR has those things too if you pay attention enough. Even things like colour changing of certain things that shouldn't. Watch a sex scene, don't look at the the focused point, you will see clipping between the models. Assets like squish could solve that, but he doesn't seem to use it. Secret gallery image 6 is an example of sloppy work. Tons of clipping with only 2 pieces of clothing. Max hooking up with his aunt in the bath tub. Her ring isn't on her finger. The scene where he fucks his aunts wife, you can see clear clipping with his junk and her pussy. To the point that he puts more detail into the mom-son scenes that this is noticeable. I'm nit picking on purpose, but that's the point. Don't raise him up to such a height. Especially if you give him money. Then you should be holding him accountable. This is his full time job and he should be putting full time hours in.You are arguing based on a faulty premise. That being Mr. Dots or some random guy makes images as nice as ICSTOR.

The absolute worst thing about Patreon is that it makes everyone who gives an artist a dollar each month (and also a lot of people who don't even do that much) think that they're The Boss, sitting with their feet on their desk while their art-slaves toil away for them in their sweatshop below.And ICSTOR has those things too if you pay attention enough.

I'm just going to disagree with this. When I became his Patron there was never any kind of employment contract or agreement that my contribution entitled me to x-hours of work from him every day/month/year. And for all I know he is putting in 40 hours a week. I have no clue. But regardless, it wasn't a condition of my patronage.And ICSTOR has those things too if you pay attention enough.

That hole you're in is of your own making, I'm afraid.If his style is so difficult and such a time consuming system, why doesn't he change it, and why do others have the ability to release renders that are just as good at a quicker pace? Yeah, he took time off, but that doesn't account for that short amount of a release between this and the last update. From 21-22 in Dating my Daughter there was 1700 new renders. I don't think it took him 11 months to do that. My guess is about 2. And he uses the same engine and same engine assets for the logic and code.
3 pascal still won't be as good as 1 Cuda. Daz can offload to Cuda core systems and only cuda core systems. That's why my buddies 1440p render took a minute and thirty seconds. You can argue that "it's a generic image" but try it out then. On my own apartment, Cailin model, Casual summer cut shorts. Try out a 1440p image and stop it after a minute and 30 seconds.
I don't use discord and won't offer my services since I am doing my own thing. Also, as I said, my GPU is trash, so I would be a detriment to anyone else who already has a system for rendering.
Hey, let's note that *I* decided to not drag you into this topic because I know how busy you are (because RomanHume is also a great example of a communicative game Dev and I know he's busy), unlike some people *cough* goobdoob *cough*Why do you gotta go dragging me into these things! I'm trying to work over here!
In all seriousness though, being used as an exemplar of visual quality is a bit of an honor and I thank you for that.
I love DMD and I love the work that Dots has put into Melody, but his art is what I like to refer to as "out of the box". Very few (if any) custom poses, materials or lights. And there appears to be zero effort in trying to correct the rampant clipping, hovering and sometimes cringe worthy facial expressions.
Icstor's work is exceptionally detailed and his lighting is fantastic! His animations have no equal that I've seen yet. In fact I've cut animations from my game altogether until I can achieve a similar quality.
To that end, animating in Daz is complete and utter ass. I can't even begin to estimate how much time it requires for him to do a single animation, but knowing how long it takes to do a single frame, it's gotta be substantial.
The only developer I've been a patron of longer than Icstor is in fact Mr. Dots. But that's only because DMD was one of the first games I had ever played that I was like, "WOW, That's great shit!". I've been supporting both of those developers for over a year and have never once felt cheated, lied to or disappointed. In fact even though I harp on Mr. Dot's art, I'm infinitely grateful he found a way to continue his game after the "Great Patreon Shit Storm of '08". He could have shit canned it and moved on to a new project like a lot of devs did and he didn't, and for that I'll always have mad respect.
However, having become a developer myself, I'm ultra appreciative of the efforts of other developers and these days I'm doubly understanding of their delays.
It'll get here when it gets here, and I have every reason to believe that when it does, it'll be fucking great!
