Dev Update #229
All the sets are ready.
The set for the third segment of the scene has been quite challenging to build. After making sure that none of the available easy options at my disposal were good enough, I decided to go the hard way and build the thing myself. I had previously found the necessary assets in a third-party store while looking for some "ready-to-render" solutions, so I knew that it was possible. I also knew that that asset wasn't meant for Daz and that I would have to put in some more work to assemble it and have it render properly. It took me a small week to assemble the hundred different parts that constitute the room itself, rework every texture, solve the various scaling and missing part issues, populate the scene with enough props to make it look alive and light the whole thing for a night scene.
The question now is: was it worth the time?
I have now everything I need to pose the whole scene. I'll start working on the posing on Monday morning.
The quick sum up :

If MC stacks up, fucks, and triple creampies Eve, Cassie, and Kelly on the diner counter, then yes absolutely worth the effort to create the scene environment!

Does anyone know what you have to do for the dual path(s)? When playing the game a (long) while back it was certainly possible to go for a love triangle, but now going for love/love led to a a pretty horrible end for both LIs (Cassie leaves and gets caught, Sis devastated) - with no (obvious) dialogue choice to come clean or work towards being with them both. Similar for the love/sub path, just without the horrible end - but also no option to come clean. Was the option to be in a relationship with both scrapped?

use the WT mod from sancho and go for the choices with the dual love path... probably easiest that way. The path is still in the game. There are also written WTs if that's more convenient linked in the OP...not sure how quality they are, haven't checked them, but the mod is super good.

nice, there are a lot of different paths in the game, that one in particular is really good imo, you'll like it for sure
There's a very tricky choice earlier in the game that is essential to not getting the bad ending there; it has to do with picking which of the two to talk to on a shopping trip. I'll admit I don't remember which it is, but there's some preliminary conversation that later gives you the chance to admit it all. IIRC if you use the lighthouse mode, the built-in walkthrough mode for the game, it will point you to the right choice there, which I thought was a good workaround since nothing about the choice screamed "I'm essential" otherwise.

To the question if it is worth the time consumed? It depends, is it a one-time use scenario? how many characters will be there? will there be background characters? and more importantly, does all the construction give more sense to the story?

I'd guess you would need to direct that at The Naughty Captain, as they seem a lot like "Ocean" and perfectionist, at least this game has sex....

I know, I was much more active here before, and I was a patreon too. And at least before the captain read everything, I don't know how it is now.

Afaik still pretty active when there is something worthy enough for him to talk about

Dev Update #230
I finished posing the first segment of scene 27. It's the shortest one. Everything went smoothly until I actually rendered the shots. I then noticed a lot of issues with a specific garment. As always, it's an issue I couldn't see in the previews because the geometry used in the iray previews delivered by Daz differs from the geometry used in the final render. It's very frustrating. I was mostly finished rendering that segment and I had to spend most of my day editing half of the shots. I'll render them once again tonight.
Aside from that, the renders look okay to me, I was worried about the noise levels but it rendered fairly well and I'm satisfied with the results.
I had to find a few workarounds to resolve issues with some assets of the outdated kind. In the end, I'm quite surprised that it works so well. It is not perfect, but I believe it is good enough and in line with my idea of quality.
Next week I'll start posing the second segment, which will be both bigger and a challenge on its own for some specific reasons. Fingers crossed I don't screw that up.
The quick sum up :

Dev Update #231
20 minutes ago
I've started the week with good old food poisoning and a short visit to the hospital. I haven't been fully operational until Tuesday.
I progressed on the second segment of scene 27.
I had to slightly edit the scene to make the posing easier and have a "more natural flow" in the way the characters will be moving through the set. I've posed about 30 shots on that second set and so far the previews are great. I hope I won't have any unexpected surprises, especially with certain clothes that I have to simulate with every movement.
I haven't encountered any difficulties so far, aside from a couple of recalcitrant simulations. The action is simple, but the expressions can be tricky to get right, especially while working with a face I'm not used to.
I've posed a third of that second segment. The second third should be more static and I hope to progress through it a bit faster. The third part will be more challenging with some more intense and complex action.
I'm also trying some new things in the pseudo animations department with that segment. I hope I'll get it right.

It's just too long of waiting for 2 new scenes
I hope it's ready before x-mas! It would be a nice present!

There's the rework too. This game isn't finished and as long as that is the case it's called "work in progress". If you can develop things faster just do it. There're never enough AVN's out there. Sure, there's way too much trash, but this one here isn't.It's just too long of waiting for 2 new scenes
