Har to tell about the eyes cause in the new one she is looking up and away. the lips in the old seem more normal to me. the New ones are more botox looking... like pouty lips. I notice the jaw line changed a lot and also you thickened the neck... All in all not bad... good in fact. But, You asked which one we like... And I kinda like the first... don't shoot the messenger !
No intention of shooting the messenger, I asked for criticism and you gave it. Nice one mate thanks. Actually all your points were valid. I just thought she needed to look a bit younger and a bit softer. Take your point with the lips, I might mess around a bit and and change those (y)

Just an aside here... I don't take anyone for idiots until proven otherwise. 90 plus percent of the members here are top notch people, many of whom create their own games. Those that give positive and earnest criticism are in the majority and I applaud them, without them many of us devs would not progress further than the first hurdle. My overall plan for Shaddolands will take in the region of two years to complete. I don't have a day job, I'm a retired firefighter living off my pension and I do this because I love working with DAZ and Ren'Py to create entertainment. Of course I want to make enough money to cover the costs of assets etc. but it is not my main focus. I hope that clarifies my intentions.

Hi folks,

I noticed a few comments that accused Amanda of being... shall we say weird!

So I did a bit of tweaking and came up with this revised version of Amanda. She was a bit upset at having to go through the surgery, but she seems happier with the result now.

Take a look at the before and after and see what you think.

Since it's female protagonist, going by description it seems like you'll be the one doing the cheating, instead of being cheated on.

If it is actual NTR and it's the guy getting seduced and cheating on the MC then it'd be quite rare as far as these games go.
yes the opposite i Netori,but sometimes u can have both if both cheating..which good lol

Why does the balcony move in front of the window during the party talk and why do they use FUCKING EMOJIS as they speak?

The balcony itself doesn't move, what you see in the background is a seperate object. Trouble is it's too small, so I have to move it to avoid transparent areas. I'm still very much a beginner at DAZ3D so yeah, I guess I need to find another option. Maybe a separate building outside. I'll fix it in the next update.

As for the emojis, I just thought it would be a good idea... I'd be interested to know what others thought of it.

I am really liking the game so far. The story seems to flow really nice, and I enjoy that the guy is still slamming some ham. It's stupid when the guy is a total bitch and never ends up laying some pipe and the games just have the woman fuck everyone else but him. Excited to see where the game goes. Great job so far

I think it is fine; it's not overdone, IMO.

As a proofreader, I'm torn between the dialogue you are reading to look perfect in terms of grammar, punctuation, and syntax and what you are reading from the perspective of you in the MC's shoes. In real life, you don't speak in emojis (if you're a sane person). :LOL:
It's the dev's choice; it works very well in phone/text games.

The punctuation in this game isn't perfect. But does that matter in the big picture? In some cases (not here), the lack of punctuation can give a misleading impression of what the speaker is saying.
I think there is a sweet spot regarding dialogue correctness in this genre. Too perfect can come off as stale and rigid, and too messed up can take you out of immersion.
This game is hovering around that sweet spot, IMO. ;)

Something that burns my butt hairs are the members that complain that they don't like something ( in reality demanding you change it. ) To me, that implies they want every fricking thing the same, and they want every game to be the same... Booorring as fuc*, I think 90% of the members here were spoon-fed till they were kicked out of the house. (Sorry for the rant) :sneaky:

You are right, I also don`t get why people complain all the time about spelling and grammatical errors.
The important thing should be an exciting and good game.
