First revamp, then TACOS but weird skin on some models and "edgy" faces still not fixed. Here is neural network post work example (yeah, it sometimes has big troubles with eyes):

Exactly. I get one remake. Especially if you got a lot better a rendering or got a new machine. Two? Wait until the game is done.

That's why I'm starting with a couple of shorter, stand-alone games. I hope I can leave my old works alone as I get better. Once I'm secure with my learning curve, I'll take on my bigger games.

So to hopefully clarify as I haven't played this yet. Do I just Need the Chapter 14 & 15 to play, or do I need 1-10 + 15 & 15, or does the newer TACOS P2 take the place of 1-10 or where does it fit in?

1 - 10: This is the first version of the game.
14 - 15: Is the first remake. 15 is stand alone because the game was being split up into 2 parts, 1 - 14 then 15+.
TACOS P2: Is the current remake.

The 3 versions are independent of each other.

Coz it enhanced version and right is original from TACOS version.
Here is another neuro model examples (make up not removed):

Yeah, I get what you're saying, but I think polling the patreons or audience in general can be a mistake with a cuck/ntr focused game. These games attract so many dudes that loath themselves for liking the fetish that listening to the audience starts turning the female MC into an abused whore and the male MC into either an "alpha" stud or the dumbest weakling ever born.

It's how this dev ended up with a scattered game he doesn't like and it's a big piece of how so many cuck games just get abandoned. Look at what's happening to Lisa right now. The dev's listening to the section of his audience that projects into the male MC and hates themselves for it, so he's writing the guy out and turning the game into pure burn-the-bitch misogyny.

I'm not thrilled with the reset to TACOS, but I hope that Mircom just tells the story he wants to tell and lets the chips fall where they may. And I hope that's the lesson he takes from the way this game developed. Enough people liked his original intent that the game he actually wanted to make could have been pretty successful and maybe been completed in a reasonable time because he'd have been interested and energized to write it.

Views like this about NTR are as simple minded as the people you claim to know all about. Personally, it's reliving my 20's seducing married women...when I play these games, I'm putting myself as the bull and get a good laugh at the MC and their self-imposed misery.
You think people that like watching the main LI get taken away is because they are projecting themselves as the male MC, it's more to do with the audience not seeing the MC as someone worthy of keeping her...or in the case of "Lisa", people don't like her simpleton BF.
TACOS part three is going to fall into the same problem because unless it's just swinging, I don't see how people won't view Tony as someone worthy of keeping Anne (and why the Martin story line gained so much traction...it's what Tony deserves). Opening the marriage so his wife can screw others while he sits excitedly watching and not participating is a recipe for disaster 99% of the time for any relationship IMHO. Any ending where Tony comes out smiling (unless it's only about actual swinging) will just turn people off for any future projects.

Annnnnnd let the

begin

I really don't understand why people get confused about this. This is not confusing, at all. Am I right?!

If you want make Anna more similar to the game the right pics is better and her are eyes are more sparkling and lokk like more live (in the left she looks older)
For Nicole is better the left and the eyes are more alive...

I will suggest to add more green n the pupils of both their eyes

(too much yellow suggesting they have some liver disease)
Anna face looks bigger down jaw and cheeks make her fat
and the cheekbones are too pronounced

Nicole is good about that
Anne's face is too square

do they look alike?

Lol. Now I'm going to be waiting for the Oscar Madison/Felix Ungar tag team on our girl.

thetrueredking · Mar 23, 2023

It shows "Part 2" for the game. What would I download to play the story up to that point. would it be Chapter 14 only? Chapter 15? do I need the 1-10 Old?

He's correct and your dismissive attitude only shows that you have no desire to understand or accept other possibilities. This thread is replete with explanation on first person vs third person style of play. Just go back and read and then maybe you will understand that many don't 'self-insert' when they play these games. I don't. Do you become the character when you read a book? I don't. I follow the tale and either like it or not. In these games it's the same for many of us. We play the routes and follow the tale.

It's not that difficult to understand...those that become the MC get emotionally wrapped up and think that most everyone playing a sharing/hotwifing game are self-loathing creatures. I am 60+ years old, been married for almost 40 years, am physically large, have an advanced degree, professionally retired and there's not one nanogram of self-loathing in my psyche. I just like a good story and will play out all the routes and consider myself a puppet master of sorts when I do.

I would advise you to d/l and play TACOS Part 2 and leave everything else alone. The other two are not going to be finished and are dead in the water. You can certainly play them if you wish, but the new iteration may not match those previous ones.

Yeah man. I said that the self-loathing, self-inserting angry boys ruin things. That the devs shouldn't listen to them.

So, y'know. Reading comprehension is good.

Wtf i have to say this really feels like a waste. Most of the scenes/story is practically the same as before only real change I've seen is the background to the mall... Most of the characters look the same for the most part even her. Seems like the only thing being proven here is that the dev could have made releases from the older one quicker considering how fast updates 1 and 2 have been so far. Let's see if the dev can continue that way or if it becomes like it used to be and take forever.

gilgamesh9 · Mar 23, 2023

Btw i could be wrong but also seems and i think someone might have already said it, but it also looks like we will get less from this game then the first remake.

I don't have any control how neuro network would handle girls faces. I'm sadly even can't disable background enhance coz it takes ton of time to process image (about 20 sec per image).
Anyway I've decided to choose 2nd neuro model coz faces doesn't vary much at different angles/poses comparing to 1st.
TACOS intro enhanced (heavy blurred faces could look weird):
