Hi everyone, hope you enjoy the update. I'm copying a post from Patreon in anticipation of comments/questions regarding the time it took for this update as well as a quick recap of the last 10 months.

TLDR:

"Will the next update take another 10 months!?"

Although this update took 10 months, it's not 10 months worth of content. The overwhelming majority of this time was spent on not only learning the software but figuring out how to implement some of the same functions that already exist in Daz. I discovered that there are many things in Daz I took for granted.

I expect the next and likely final update to be completed by the end of the year.



--------------------------------------------------------------------


Finally, after 10 months we have an update. I'd like to do a quick recap of the journey so far and why it took so long. (I'm lying, it's going to be a lengthy read)



December 2019, I was planning on releasing a Christmas special. After a week of frustrating bugs and errors in Daz, I was fuming and thought that there's got to be a better way. Poor Sophie would randomly look like a shark attack victim because Daz would bug out on simple tasks in the animation timeline. Seriously, how the hell does this happen?





Daz is an excellent program when it comes to doing the core things it was designed to do, which is being able to quickly pose and render beautiful still images with ready to go assets. Animation, simulations, modeling and a plethora of other tools are non-existent or very primitive. Frustrated and annoyed, I reached out to asking if he'd like to explore the option of leaving Daz with me to another software. It's always easier learning new things with someone else. We spent a lot of time learning, bouncing ideas off each other and troubleshooting things together. Thank you, you grumpy cuddly teddy bear <3

First up was Cinema 4D, a fun but pricey software. After nearly a month of learning it, watching tutorials and trying to figure out how to bring our Daz characters in, we realized it's not the best option for what we're trying to do. At least I got to make this cute little submarine from a tutorial, so... worth?





Next up was Blender. Turns out this free software has everything I need to make a great game.

- Sculpting (Make quick adjustments and customization on anything)

- Modeling (Can make anything from scratch or quickly edit and customize existing assets)

- Simulations (cloth, soft body, fluid, fire/explosions, collisions, hair)

- Advanced Character Rigs (No longer using premade pose libraries, everything is posed from scratch to fit the scene)

- Animation (Robust animation tools that make it a fun and enjoyable experience. No more shark attacks!)

- Performance (I can preview my animations in real time rather than guessing what its going to look like and having to render it every time for an accurate preview like in Daz. Projects open in 10 seconds not 5 minutes.)

- Data Exchange (Other software that do certain things better can easily be incorporated into Blender)

Most of these perks of Blender, although nice, are not needed for Personal Trainer. Other than the animation tools, I can fake the rest using Photoshop. However, everything listed is an absolute requirement for my next game, which will not be possible to make in Daz.

I've mentioned this several times already but Personal Trainer was always intended to be a learning project. It's a guinea pig for learning the technical side of things. This is why it has renders from three different engines and has so many inconsistencies in visual quality, writing and doesn't take itself seriously whatsoever. My goal was to learn as much as I can while also hopefully giving you guys an enjoyable experience and a laugh or two.

Please keep in mind that just because Blender is capable of all these things doesn't mean that I'm completely capable just yet. It's a learning process which is reflected in this update. Some animations look just as janky as my old ones and some look pretty damn good. Some renders look like a regression and some look great. I'm still learning and improving. The good news is that the biggest obstacle now is my own knowledge/capabilities rather than fighting the software itself like poor Sophie's Jaws attack I showed earlier. I wanted to get through the huge learning curve now rather than bringing these sorts of inconsistencies into my next game.



Finally, I'd like to get ahead of a question I know many will have.

"Will the next update take another 10 months!?"

Although this update took 10 months, it's not 10 months worth of content.

Thank you all for your continued patience and support. I hope you enjoy this update.
Use the Filmic Blender addon to get more out of the renders... look it up and you'll see why

Having a little trouble with Hikari's events.

I've gotten to the point where Maria ate her out and the in-game guide says for Hikari, "There are no hints currently available", and for Maria it says, "I should swing by the lockers again to see Maria. Maybe I'll catch her eating someone's pussy, who knows??" Now, I recall with the previous version that when you went to the locker room you'd get exactly that scene with Maria and Hikari, but now the scene with the new and improved Maria triggers, after which it's the scene where you fuck her on the gym equipment, and then that's it for Maria's content and still no hints for Hikari.

I keep checking the locker room, the pool, and the strip club and still nothing happens with Hikari, so what do I have to do advance her events in this version?

Going by the game's code this may happen if Hikari hasn't been asked to teach stripping at the gym, possibly because Dani hasn't bought it, yet. Or is theirs the only content left?

Haven't finished replaying Dani's events yet, so maybe that's it.

EDIT: Yep, that did it. (y) Should known I was jumping the gun. :FacePalm:

I know you've had problems with this "learning project" of a game, but please don't end this so soon, not when it's just getting good. We're finally starting to get into romances with Sophie, Amy, Jenna, and Dani, and it's too soon to say goodbye to these characters and to see where these relationships might go.

Even if it means ending this game and making a sequel/reboot/spin-off with all these characters in a more linear, choice-based game, that would be fine, but there's still so much potential for these characters and there's a good story here, especially with the MC and Sophie and the societal complexities of their relationship, so I really hope that this won't be the end. :cry:

There was also:

Honestly though, the MC is nuts to be OK with letting Sophie go. Sure, he has other women like Amy, Jenna, and Dani, but there is clearly something more to their relationship than just sex.

Hopefully he'll make a last dash to the airport like in an 80s or 90s romcom and tell her how he feels, because as selfish as it may, he can't just let her go without a fight.

Just 800mb? I take it there's not much content?
There's a new scene for each girl and a few reworks to some earlier scenes, including a new look Mamma Maria part of the way through her storyline.

Man you need to add the NTR Tag, Alex is a love interest and she Literally fucks a guy in Daisy's Dorm with you, there isn't an option to have him kicked out mean NTR isn't Avoidable, I know some people like NTR but I don't and I really would have appreciated the NTR tag warning and in my opinion it should have been optional at the very least to have the other guy not involved, sorry man it's ruined the game for me.
I don't like sharing or having any potential love interest with other make characters, even if this was a one time thing I can't trust that I won't see or hear something like that later on in the game.

My man, you just met a college girl who you have no romantic relationship with that invited you to a threesome, that's not NTR. If that ruined the game for you its time for some self reflection and ask yourself why.
