Well I was gonna say something along the lines of "at least none of the character models look too fucked up this time around" and then I zoomed in on Sonya's face...goddamnit!

I hope the blue choice dialogue thingy is used sparingly. That sounds like way too much trouble for such a small gain.

Not sure wtf happened to Miss Marla. She looks like she would run over people for fun now...

Ayua looks good again (praise Jesus!)

I'd happily chop off Karen's hand to see more :love:

My big hope is Ayua becomes an LI - with the render showing more than normal, she's certainly putting out! And she must've done something right to get her youthful complexion back...

I suspect well be forced to go with Mila, it's the same situation whether or not you're on anyone's path. But I suspect Zara will end up being a defacto 5th in the house, seeing she'll be getting Nika up to train at ungodly hours, so she'll be very frequent.

And yeah, Bella's stuck her neck out too many times and the wind changed :HideThePain: I actually noticed that about a fair number of the necks in the renders. I'm curious if's Ocean's switched to blender and is still managing/transferring the models into blender.

IMHO, not overstretched. She has a long neck to begin with, I'd have to compare it with her other renders to be sure, but I doubt that her neck is longer there than on other renders.
In this position the neck looks longer quite naturally, in case you've paid attention enough. It's a good position for modeling if you want to show the models neck longer and more graceful than it looks otherwise. Artists and photographers like to use it quite a lot. So do choreographers, cinematographers and pornographers :sneaky:
______________________________________________________________
Yes, she has a looong neck, checked to be sure. :sneaky: Perfectly proportional with that blurry render.

I'm not sure, you could be right, but not necessarily.
I'd have to see it from another angle to be sure. This could be a bad combination of the camera angle and the shirt hanging off his back. His body looks too fat there, likely just the fabric is hanging empty. DAZ fabrics are weird.

There's also some exceptionally weird derrieres. I use that word because it suits how weird they are. The gymn suit Sonya is pretty much all about weird angles.

That is so true. Ocean is an ass man for sure. The kind who thinks that bigger is always better. I just can't agree with that, the complete aesthetics of the body is way more important to me. Can't just hang some boobs and an ass onto one.

Someone mentioned previously that our lovely Vic looks like she's made of plastic. Those renders (i.e. that necklace) make it look like Vic's got a screw-on head as well.

My worry now is that sometime in the future, Nika will look under one of Vic's armpits and find this...

I know some people want like Ayua and Maja, and others to be love interests, but I am of the camp that is actively against it. I actually hope ocean removes a couple love interests, because right now I think we have too many. We are at maybe 13, not entirely sure how updated the list is. And not including all the side girls and bonus girls, there is just way too many, I wish he would demote a couple Li's to side girls, that way there can be more relationship building and and time building amongst everyone. Because unless we start getting 5000 render episodes, girls are probably gonna disappear or become more irrelevant as times goes on at certain points. So I honeslty wished ocean removed just a couple girls at least and gets it to 9 or 10 girls at least, cause IMO 13, and possibly even more is just too many main girls.

Buddy...the LI list was too large pretty much from inception. It's beyond stupid. Sadly we have all come to terms with the fact that most players will get shafted hard. It's hard to give enough "screentime" to 4-5 LI's. 10+ is just absolutely unmanageable.

Now imagine the impact on development time. Dozens of branches. There will probably come a time where a 3k render update may very well have absolutely nothing for some of the playerbase.

That said, the LI situation isn't even in my top 5 of problems with SG or Ocean's work in general. We're talking about someone that can't keep a single character model consistent throughout development. We're talking about someone that has no issues retconning story and characters from one chapter to another. Nothing is set in stone with Ocean. Everything is always in a flux. What you are told is certain today may be false tomorrow. Even last names. Can you believe that at a certain point in this game Nojiko's last name was actually Cyrus? Like other characters actually called her by that last name. What is her last name today? It's fucking insane. What kind of storyteller does this?

My advice to you is, temper your expectations. "Expect the worst and you'll never be disappointed". Words to live by.

A more manageable LI list would around 5 or 6 like Being a Dik. Even than, DPC has trouble getting screen time for all love major LI and the side women as well. I think DPC is a really good writer as well compared to Ocean. Currently Ocean has not shown he can develop all LI equally yet. Nami, Bella, Mila, Zara, Sasha, Amber and maybe Sonya for diversity in LI should be the max in terms of LI. The other LI should be cut.

Hey hey hey don't forget Victoria she was the first that had true interest in him not counting Nami. Remember she got hit just because she wanted to walk a little longer with him because she was attracted to him. She said it herself she wasn't even going that direction.
