Let me be clear on this, most of what you are referencing, are things I was saying in response to a couple of people implying that I should have obtained approval from the DMD folks. I'm not denying that it is an alternative universe version of the character, for those who know tha backstory of the DMD game. In the Changelog on page one of the thread, I state that I've converted the storyline over to the "Dee after Daddy" concept. It is clearly inspired by the original. People can make whatever comparisons they want. I'm not surprised by that. But those comments of mine were in response to a particular context. I had one person claim that "he even stole the name of the MC from the other game." Did I do an homage to the original by using a play on the common practice of fan forums and such referring to her as "D," by using "Dee" for her alias? Yes. But some guy was saying that I stole her name from the DMD folks, which I don't see how that would be possible, since the first thing you do is set her name to whatever you want. I'm not denying that I intended that people who have played DMD, would assume her backstory. If you were to look back somewhere earlier in this thread, somewhere you would see that I even said that our jumping off point would have to be, the "daddy was fucking everybody" path of DMD, even though I always played the "D" only path myself. However, this game is also intended, that if you've never played DMD, then it wouldn't matter, and that this story would stand up on it's own. And this character isn't going to be the over the top naïve character from DMD.
As far as the render thing you mentioned. I know that I have a few of those in the game. I am doing a little learning when it comes to Daz Studio, and their new version, as well as how to get rid of a flaw Daz has had for quite a while where the iray renders with darker lighting, don't come out quite right. They introduced some AI to Daz in their last release, in order to help with that, but sometimes the AI does an amazing job at predicting what the picture is supposed to look like, and other times not so much. I'm working on learning ways I might be able to maybe change the lighting a little if that happens, but the problem there is that you can't change it too much, or you would have to go back and re-render a whole string of images everytime you run across the problem.
Some people will be pissed that she has a different personality in my game. Some people really like that. But I'm not "stealing" anything. The backstory that people get, if they have played DMD, comes from their own minds. All I did was plant a few seeds with 2 or 3 lines of dialogue. I was going to use this model either way. The comparisons to DMD were always going to happen.
Take your example that you quoted about the line about her mother. Is the line there to bring up the exact scenario from DMD for those who have played the game? Absolutely. Does it work all by itself. It could mean she's a piece of shit for any number of reasons.
