incoherent rambling

Any one excerpt from a forum discussion will be "incoherent" by default. Decontextualized. The whole must be observed and digested to achieve clarity and understanding.

With that being said, I totally was on my own shit for a second there, which was...not constructive.

By the way, doesn't the tag dystopian setting fit this game ?

Dystopia requires politics. Lord of the Flies is dystopian, The Mist is not.

Not really - post nuclear is pretty dystopian.

The most appropriate tags would be 'Apocalypse' or 'Disaster' since the inciting event is currently happening. Neither of these tags exists in the current list.

Post-nuclear is post-apocalyptic, not dystopian.

 

[Purvis T. Stinkbug]

Not really - post nuclear is pretty dystopian.

The suffix -topia explicitly refers to society.

Consider the town of Megaton. It's as postnuclear as it gets, and yet they have a functional government, economy, infrastructure, social order, civil defense apparatus, and even a church.

That didn't happen in the story (though it had one of those non-ending endings - and the MC even said he hated endings like that!) It was apparently also a computer game in the 80s (I have a cluebook from then that was for all sorts of games, including ones they didn't make for the Commodore 64 which is what I had.) It was one of those text only ones apparently. ie like Zork.

That’s just a theory, not canon, and honestly, a pretty dumb ending for a great movie.

What, a bunch of guys with guns just show up because you blew your kid’s brains out?
...Oh wait, that actually does happen in real life.

[CatSìth]

The story and background are completely different. There's just a supermarket and fog, but that's about it. I wanted something more original.
The Mist is best known for its special ending. The movie itself is a classic.

I thought I was getting Steven King vibes

Yeah she was not an expert... also she was killed... she was not enough as a sacrifice?

 

[Steve Carter]

This is based on a Steven King novel. In Steven King's world, the crazier you are, the more reliable your information is. And she was religious. The sacrifice needed to be "heretic nonbelievers". She specifically calls out the son and the wife to be sacrificed in the novel.

what in the androgynous fack xD

how can something look so beautiful and handsome yet so ugly? so feminine yet also so masculine? so adult yet also so baby faced?

EDIT: dialogue is a mood killer.

I’m carefully considering all the feedback. I’m exploring the idea of introducing a new character—his brother—who could naturally replace the current protagonist. You’d play as him later in the story, and he’d bring a fresh dynamic with his more cheerful and responsible personality. I actually finished modeling him this morning.

I’ve noticed several people are put off by the current protagonist’s design, even though I’ve seen plenty of popular games with unconventional-looking main characters. Still, I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

It's probably just too smooth, not enough roughness in the skin.

Yeah i know, and i still try to fix it. It looks very different (more detailed) in Substance Painter (where I textured my character), but for now i don't know why.

In Substance Painter

if I may ask, which program do you use for scene setup and rendering? daz, blender, unreal?

also you may need to make normals, diffusion and glosy textures as well to have a more detailed skin. havent used SP before so I am not familiar if you can have them created ther or not, my guess would be that it is possible though since it is industry standard afaik

 

[xmilteach]

thx

I'm using Blender.
I already have roughness and a normal map, but it must be the SSS that visually softens them. But if I use less SSS, the skin looks plasticky.

there are a few tutorials I have seen with a workflow of SP and blender but also straight up Principled BSDF, with only a few iirc other nodes used. and thre skin looks rather realistic. is it cycles your renderer or eevee? cause eeve indeed has a plasticity that you may have to play around a bit.

there are many similar to

tutorials that could help. and look around on how to fix the eyes as well. since you know your way around blender it wont be very difficult for you. me on the other hand, I am stragling

best of luck!

thanks !
What's wrong with eyes ?
I'm using Cycles.

So far, I like it.
A few comments:
Even though I've selected the French version, when I load a save it's always in English.
A lot of images, a lot of text, I didn't get very far (he's found the chick and stops, supposedly to take a piss). It reminded me more of a novel than a porn game... I like novels, I really appreciate the French used... I just wasn't really expecting this, I wasn't really in the mood to read a novel.
But that's not a negative review, I'll try it back later.
Perhaps you should warn that the prologue is long and requires patience. Like long run and not quick fap material.
Otherwise, yes, congratulations on the images, the text and the humour, it's a good job. And hats off to you too for your mastery of Blender. Have you used MakeHuman?

La version française : il y a des nuances que j'ai du mal à faire en anglais... L'anglais est ma ma langue maternelle en un sens, mais ça fait 60 ans que je ne la pratique plus
Pour l'instant, j'aime bien ce truc.
Quelques remarques :
J'ai beau avoir sélectionné la version française, quand je charge une sauvegarde, elle est toujours en anglais.
Beaucoup d'images, beaucoup de texte, je ne suis pas allé très loin (il a trouvé la nana et arrête soi-disant pour aller pisser). Ça me fait penser plus à un roman qu'à un jeu porno… J'aime bien les romans, j'apprécie beaucoup le français utilisé… Juste, je ne m'attendais pas vraiment à ça, je n'étais pas vraiment d'humeur à lire un roman, j'y reviendrai plus tard.
Mais ce n'est pas une critique négative.
Il faudrait peut-être que vous préveniez que le prologue est long et qu'il faut de la patience.
Sinon, oui, bravo pour les images, le texte, et les pointes d'humour, c'est du bon travail.
Et chapeau aussi pour la maîtrise de Blender. Est-ce que vous avez utilisé MakeHuman ?
