how can i extract cg. i use unren, but the pictures do not open.

 

[SoiCowboy]

As soon as you see which pizza you need to deliver, click and hold the button on the correct pizza and wait until MC is about under the front door, release the button.

MC's head has to be within the door frame, then release mouse button.

Rename the pictures from *.png to *.webp. Download and install Google Webp Libraries.

Can I change the MC's name without starting over?

Thanks.

Can I change the MC's name without starting over?

Thanks.

Anyone have the Console variable for MC name?

Edit; To change the name of the MC and family open the console (shift+o) and enter:

store.firstname= "insert_here_new_name"
store.mom_name="insert_here_new_mother_name"
store.sis_name="insert_here_new_sister_name"
exit

I didn't try it, requires to enable the console tough, so is better to leave at it is to avoid trouble

hey anyone knows where Eve's artpad is??

There are a few steps in the process. I'm not sure where you are, so I'll just describe them all. You have to ask Eve, who asks you to find her backpack (in the park during the day), but it turns out it's not in there and you have to give the backpack back to her. Then she'll tell you to talk to Chad, who should be right next to her. He wants you to get/steal some art from her, which will be in her locker, just to the left of the screen you're currently on.

If you don't have the master key for the lockers already, it's in the principal's desk drawer. The principal is usually out of her office in the afternoons.

Anyone else having a save issue just after you have sex with your aunt if you save after that point then load from that save. Then it throws you way back into the game? You lose any progress. That bug really sucks.

It has nothing to do with the aunt, it has to do with looking at the statue in your inventory.

I think we can all agree that we like DC's style a lot. We enjoy his product. Plus! I think we can all say we would like an update more than once every 4 damn months as well! It is annoying but what ya gonna do, right?

 

[Mr.Qaywesdxc]

Even tho the image has already been shared, here you have it folks in FullHD. I don't get why is he wasting time with this instead of focusing on the update but OK.

I'm getting sick of people like you who is dishonesting his patrons (including myself) JUST BECAUSE I have another opinion than DC. I can appreciate people who have own opinion, so should DC. It's called rational thinking, you muppet.

I guess the problem in this specific case is more that those exact users who complain are writing the same things for probably more than 6 months now. It should be clear by now how DC wants to continue with this project and that he seems extremely reluctant to share the art with anybody. Writing that again and agian and again is of course ok but it should be clear to them, that it's very, very unlikely to change. We'll only get a second artist if DC litereally gets really, really lucky and we'll see every character reworked to the current art standard of the game.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

My problem remains this - if the artwork is the bottleneck point, redesigning does nothing but slow things down even more so, for no benefit other than DC's wallet. If they are unwilling to even try and hire someone to help speed these along it really adds to the case they are purposefully slowing things down to take advantage of those willing to donate..

As someone who has dabbled in digital art, specifically 2D vector, your skills and techniques inevitably evolve, change, and get better and there's always the temptation to go back and change your earlier works to match your current standards. In the case of people who just do 2D/3D art, you're probably not going to do that because of how much time it will take and because you'd rather focus on new works, but in the case of a 2D game like this you're going to want your artwork to look consistent throughout and therefore if you start to improve artworks in later updates then you need to change the earlier works to match the new ones.

At the end of the day, as a dev, DC wants their game to be the best it possibly can be and if this means improving the quality of the artwork, both new and old, then that is what has to happen and it's no use bitching about it just because you hate waiting and have no idea about the creative process.

Well, seeing the dev track tells that we probably won't get a whole lot of new scenes (if it's new scene after all, no just reworks of old ones), it seems that is Diane's update all over again, that's sad. I hope that I'm wrong,.

I think that's pretty much true, though the rework will be much, much heavier. According to DC the old scenes like the shower, sofa, bed, etc. will be renewed (since they are all old 2 frame animations) but basically everything else will be new. But yes, I'd expect people to be disappointed again because a lof of content won't feel "new".

Edit: That said, unlike in Diane's case, some elements of Jenny's story are quite bad and I'm happy to see them changed.

 

[srksrk 68]

I personally have two opinions about the Diane update. On the one hand side, I liked the old story, and I do not find the new one is a great improvement. I mean, destroy the house to build a barn, that's plain stupid, honestly. On the other hand, updating older artwork is most welcome. Unfortunately, there is only one new scene, which is a replacement for an older scene, so nothing new.

Now we have the same for Jenny update, where I also kind of liked the story before. I think there is only little danger that we destroy MCs home to build a "Webcam Factory", so let's see how the new story goes. And there is certainly a lot of scenes to be improved. So I bet it will be worth the wait.

I am definitely looking forward to the Eve, and Main Story updates, where I expect something at least as epic as the Roxxy update.

Yeah that art degree sitting on my mantle for 20 years means I just have zero clue about how teams put projects out that look cohesive time and time again. Stick to your dabbling. It's cute.

I'm gonna paraphrase an author friend of mine. Your art is never done - it is simply sent to publish and then you have to live with the mistakes. Watching DC or anyone slow down their own progress and moving further from their goal line is sad. You can never be done forever. In this case he is doing it at the expense of those who have put faith in him. That's why I stopped giving money. You want to keep feeding the no reason to finish beast that's on you. Don't be surprised if it's 5 years later and the project still isn't done.

 

[Bruce_Wayne18]

Don't fret people! DC said in one of his recent streams Jenny's update will be as big as Roxxy's! He knows Jenny is one of the most popular characters.

And it's going to have a lot of new stuff in so let's give him the benefit of the doubt, shall we?

Was that a digital arts degree like mine that taught Photoshop and Illustrator or was MS Paint still all the rage 20 years ago? But I'm sure you're using that 20 year old degree to create digital works these days and not just sitting in a shed with your watercolours and easel, right?

No offense to you and your friend, but digital art is different from writing a book, or painting a masterpiece, or taking photographs, or creating a sculpture. These things are indeed fixed and unchangeable once they've been done, but digital art can be easily altered since all you have to do is re-open it in a software package. A game designer such as DC doesn't have to stick with the designs and art style they had when they started because the great benefit of digital art is that it can be improved as the artists skills improve. It's not uncommon these days for digital artists to go back and "remaster" their older works for this very reason.

The idea that an artist should never change their works is outdated when living in a digital age.
