You remember Valeria's jump in bare witness, don't you? Only it's at the beginning instead of the end.
I'm gonna break your heart... When it became clear that Val was not going to be in the mini-harem, I let her go. Never played her until the end, not her and not the other solo girl. And I've replayed BW 3 times... I simply am not the public for solo routes. Especially when it is them that force the choice... Bye-bye...

I wanted to say "Who?" but felt that was being too much of an asshole because I played BW and remember Val.

The problem is...in 10 years, I won't remember Val. I'll remember Heidi, Athena, Mora, and Sadie. I'll remember that BW gave us an orgy at the end of it.

I'll always remember Martha though, even in the sea of everyone else in My Dorm.

Still catching up.

Technical question:

Was the yoga breakfast scene hard to render? I don't have the greatest GPU (a 2080 super) and the more people I add to a scene, the more my computer cries.

The more characters on screen, the worse it gets with Daz.
In that case, it's 13 girls. I clothed them individually and saved them as subsets, so I only needed to load and pose them. Even working like that, when there were 5-6 girls loaded, the computer started to crawl instead of run. With the 13 of them on screen, changing their position to not block the sight of other girl, or adjusting the Y-axis was a pain.
Rendering it wasn't much of a pain. It used 23.6GB out of the 4090 24GB (without optimizing the scene) so it was GPU rendering and took somewhere between 1.5 and 2 hours per render.
The 22-girl render in the OP took nine hours with CPU rendering IIRC.

Once the new students arrive you have to redo that render. Can you imagine what that asks from your poor GPU? :eek:
I will!
In several versions. Everyone topless but the new girls. Everyone pregnant and topless but the new girls.
And repeating the above with topless new girls when they get into the harem.
Four renders in total... wait... my GPU is getting its luggage from the closet...

Hail kaikatsu and HS2 its relatively easy to pose multiple girls in those engines, it's unfortunate that people aren't much into those arts for some reason they work just fine for me especially if they are done well. I think that is the reason there are so many successful harem games in those engines because in harem games group sex is the whole point of it, if ones "graphics card vs their selected engine" situation doesn't allow them to pose multiple girls in one render/animation what's even the point of making a harem game. Fortunately that is not the problem in My Dorm.

Edit: talking of group sex, I just recently played a KK game called "reboot love" and there was a scene with 4 four girls at onces, kinda like a reverse gangbang situation and boy it was hot as hell. Daz engine would have struggled hard with that type of scene.

I'm one of those who just can't get into a game with graphics like those. I don't know why, because the Daz games I enjoy are clearly not "realistic" enough to pass for photos/video, but I guess they're close enough to not have to try imagining that they're people!

Bare Witness has great (IMO) Daz graphics and a couple of sex scenes with MC and four girls at once. There are several reasons it's one of my favourite games, and that's definitely one of them!

Remember, there are no render process in KK and HS. It's just a pose and capture process. Just like the games made with The Sims.
I understand why some people (me included) aren't into KK and HS. KK is "too anime" for my taste, and I never was into Hentai. And HS is... uncanny for me. I think it's the eyes.
People will also be more lenient about the image flaws in those engines. If a Daz game has an animation where the guy's hand clips through the girls leg, making his fingers disappear, everyone will notice it and complain about it. On HS and KK people accept the "engine limitations" (even if those don't exist, as high-quality games in those engines have shown) and would accept it as "normal". Same with boobs clipping in the guy's body.

There are great games in both engines (some of them going through a hell of postwork to make them look good), though.

The biggest scene I did was the foursome with Emma, Erika, and Daphne. The major issue was to find the correct positions in the "small" bed for everyone and not have them as mere audience (except for the anal part with Emma).
Rendering that scene was no problem at all. Posing it was.

because in harem games group sex is the whole point of it
I wanted to discuss this in my previous answer, but I forgot, and I think it needs a separate answer.
I strongly disagree. You can have a harem game without a single group sex scene, and the game can be awesome.
The whole point of harem games is the harem building. You can have group sex with a throuple game, in a game where your MC hires 129 prostitutes to have sex at the same time, or with a casual sex game.
What makes harem games different is the relationships (not necessarily romantic or sexual) inside the harem. Building those relationships is the whole point of harem games. You can't have it in the other game genres I listed above (except in the throuple).
