I don't have children so slight disadvantage.

Wouldn't it be unnerving to have your new girlfriend have the same name as your freshly dead daughter? Not trying to bring any sort of fetish into it, just...surely anytime someone says Maddy or Madelyn he's gonna react in a way, and I can't imagine the mental gymnastics required to separate the two characters in his current state.

I'm pretty sure that relationship (if it happens in the first place) will require some buildup, won't have the sort of "let's fuck" vibe to it as Sarah.

I accept all the facepalming about forgetting if she was an orphan (from the prologue I just remember MC was well off and she was kind of a street kid but don't remember talk of parents) but the twin thing someone else said first so I just went with it. :D

Is there any indication so far as to the reason for the estrangement?

No, we met the sister for all of 5 seconds as part of the ending.

Man, I cannot! This is too difficult to play. Never thought an adult VN would leave me devastated.

Not that this is in the game, but it doesn't have to be estrangement. Siblings in an orphanage are sometimes separated when there is a fosterage that can take them both. It's rare but not impossible. They could have lost touch once separated which is why the baby was given the lost sibling's name.

But this is entirely speculation.

At first I liked Miranda and Elsa, but as the story progresses I'm starting to be attracted to Aurora, who I didn't have a very good impression of at first.

At the end of Episode 3 I'm playing the "Altruistic" route, so I intend to choose Elsa, but I think I'll go back to my save data and start over from the point where I can choose Aurora.

There are so many attractive Lis that it would be difficult to see all of their routes.
Wrong thread? :WeSmart:

Chapter 3 - Progress update #15

1751053575633.png


To be honest, this week was the best and at the same time the worst I've had in the entire production of Chapter 3 so far. It started off extremely positive. I was a little apprehensive about starting the animations as this time I am creating everything from scratch without any templates and completely on my own. When the first 2 animations were finished in 2 hours each and then a day later the rendered results looked very positive I was quite happy (please don't expect professional animations though as I am still very much a novice in animations). But when the results of the next animations were ready I had to realize painfully why I haven't seen any good dForce animations from others so far. The reason is that dForce is not loopable, i.e. clothes and hair simulated with dForce look different from the last frame to the transition back to the first. This leads to animations “jumping”. 3 days of rendering time wasted. At that moment I remembered that within the last 2 weeks I had seen a product in the daz store that contains dForce improvements. I went to the store and bought it straight away. In the description and the preview videos it was shown, among other things, that this extra tool makes it possible to loop dForce animations. Perfect, at least that's what I thought. But when I tried it out intensively, I realized two things.

The positive first. In future chapters, i.e. from chapter 4 and beyond, I will be able to use dForce simulated clothes and hair in animated loops (if the chosen hair is compatible).

The bad thing, the product (hair) used by the character that has an animated scene in chapter 3 does not work. I contacted the creator of the product who confirmed my suspicions. The hair in particular just doesn't work. This does not mean that the hair does not move in the animations, it will be like in chapter 2 that I can move it up and down manually with the sliders implemented in the hair. Sometimes it will clip a little, or won't look as fluid, but I'm handicapped in a technical sense, sorry. When you see the automatically simulated versions in the future you will understand why I am so frustrated about it. It just looks so much better, more natural, more fluid.

Since the animation creation process itself is smoother than expected, I chose variant 2 from my last post: fewer camera angles but more animations. This time, "more animations" really means more. They won't just be the same animations with different speed settings; they will be truly different animations with slight changes in position and movement in addition to changes in speed. Also, unlike last time, I'm using four-second loops instead of two-second ones.

That's it for this time. Until next week.

Hey, hello!

I haven’t been on F95 much but I did find this game and I have to say that the dev is really good at tearing the heart out of people’s chests. Lmao

Anyway, just finished chapter 2 today and look forward to more, dev should be writing for television. No offense to all my AVN pervs but the writing is noticeably above the average (is that saying much though?)

Honestly loved that a player can go through the entire game so far and have no sex. At one time I was infamous on here for wanting celibate runs in games. But I think that if you have a ton of tragedy dropped on you, like a Steinway from above, that some people aren’t going to immediately fuck the next vaguely attractive being. Every game with a good story shouldn’t be afraid of waiting for the right moment to come for the characters. Too many of these games are Porn w/o plot and with poorly done graphics as well.


Hope they finish the game! Did I just jinx it?
