Day 2 scene 1.

It's almost done. I have 20 shots to pose to finish it. I also made some progress on the rendering with 75 images rendered. I have quite a few issues with some of these images (the dreaded forehead black lines, a classic problem when you work with Daz), but I'm not too worried as I should be able to correct that easily during post-processing.

Once finished with posing that scene, I'll switch to working on Day 2 scene 10. I'll need to produce some specific material in order to replace several movie screenshots that I need to remove from the game. I'll probably talk about that scene more in the next dev update. Several things are going to change (as always, for the better).

Most likely overthinking stuff.

Meanwhile, I'm asking myself a lot of text-related questions. About readability, length and rhythm. So far I only displayed one sentence at a time. Which, in terms of readability is pretty good. However, with the amount of content I produce, the game might end up very "cliquy" and as there may be may have several (too many?) clicks between two images, the game may feel a bit static. On the other hand, if I display several sentences at a time, the game could feel less static, and cliquy... but will lose some readability. The rhythm of the story will change too and that might end up changing the global feeling of the game. I'm not even sure there is an absolute "best" answer to that question but that has been bothering me for quite some time. If you have an opinion on that matter, I would gladly hear it.



The quick sum up :

• Day 6 Part 4 will contain 2 new scenes: scenes 26 and 27
• Day 6 Part 4 will contain 2 reworked scenes from Day 2: Scenes 1 and 10
• Day 2, scene 1 has been rewritten.
• 4200 words so far.
• 135 shots are planned, 114 are posed, and 75 are rendered.
• I'm posing Day 2 scene 1.

Thank you for your support!

The attraction of Eve's booty is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

It can bend space and time, all things gravitate towards it.

I can assure you I didn't have to stretch it in anyway.

Of course. I never thought you altered the dimensions of her model for that render, but do you see where I'm coming from?
It looks like she has a gadget-arm, maybe because in the scene's composition her body is a bit further away from the viewer than the arm. I don't know why but it looks weird.

I do understand, yes. The kind of thing that, even if they don't really exist, once "seen", cannot be unseen.

Yeah, I think there's some perspective going on there, and also my brain fills it in as her arm being bent and therefore long, rather than pretty close to straight.

[CodeSlingerJames]

I'm very interested in playing this game! However, since I'm kind of a bitch I would like to ask a few questions before diving in to deep and get burned.

The game as a Rape tag and after opening the game you get quite a few warnings that the game isnt for the faint of heart.

You've gotta get tired of hearing shit about that. It certainly gets old in the thread here. More so when someone shits about it instead of playing the game and finding out, or just avoiding that ending altogether. It was quite easy for me to avoid the first time I played. Had to actively choose to be a dick to get that ending.

I'm sorry if the question is annoying, but with all the warnings I wasnt sure if it was avoidable. I just wanted to make sure it was avoidable, many games with the tag have completely unavoidable rape scenes so it is a fair question. No need to be so offended with a simple question.

Oh, nothing against you. Sorry. It was more about people getting upset about that ending. Sorry. Wasn't calling you out.

Honestly, the tag shouldn't really be there. Rape is not a feature of the game. It is eluded to happening if the player makes all the bad choices and creates a monster. You never see anything. But, no doubt, a lot of children whined about it and got the tag put up there.

You won't see anything to do with it if you don't go down the asshole MC path.

Ah, I see! Yeah, if they got that ending is due to their own decisions so I don't really understand why they would act like children and be so heated about it.

I agree with you there!

I like this game and think it is written and put together well. However, I think the actual word length could have been cut in half. The guy rattles on WAY too much. I end up just clicking fast passed half of what he says because honestly, you know what they are saying and it doesn't need 1000000 words to say something that can be said in 100. There are other games that do this too, Sweet Affection being the clear winner of that, by far. (I actually end up putting that game on Skip it's so bad). I guess some people enjoy long winded conversations continually. I don't. I find it tiresome and annoying. I prefer to get to the point in a conversation. But, despite that, it's a great game still. You really feel for the characters, and that's a rare thing in renpy games. I just don't like all the choices frankly. It's why I wait for the mod.
