One thing to think about might be to try using indoor HDR environment maps, they would look a lot better than backdrop images but should render a lot faster than having actual world geometry.

Except when there are dark areas, the rendering is too long. That's why I recommend ghost loght much less greedy than HDR.

I haven't played or downloaded either version Yet!!
Should the HS version be played First? Does it Matter??
Both Overviews Read EXACTLY the same
well, they are more or less the same with few different that not that matter yet (which probaby will matter later) like in Daz, the little sister isn't corrupted yet,while in HS she is, for matter of pacing. The story progression is quite the same overall as I run them in parallel with alteration

I had tried one before, a problem comes up that some indoor HDR map is super zoomed,and idk how to zoom out the HDR map

Balladiasm will this be like the other one centered in ntr ? or you are going for a new game with this one? id like to know that.
Tbh, for this one,the current direction is making a tidier parallel version of the HS version, the reason i said that if the HS version got one this one will also planned to get one, but, it's all still a plan,and i actually not yet decide what the fixed direction for the Daz remake, I'd said in my last month patreon talk that this one will mostly contain what acceptable from HS version and trying a new possible direction

Which version would you recommend??
Just an Honest Opinion, no bias.

(I may wind up playing Both eventually)
In Daz version, Do We get to corrupt lil sister?

that doenst give me a solid answer at all :ROFLMAO:
but i guess you will use the proper tag if you end up making such content so thanks anyway, guess will be waiting a few updates to see what direction it takes. I dont play ntr content so thats why i asked though i guess is something those that like ntr and us that dont like it will want to know.
good luck with it whatever direction you take, i think is a huge change from Hs to Daz and no small amount of work.(y)

You can read Developer notes for more detail. from what I understand the difference is software used for rendering for different output and some minor changes in story.

No, I mean going much further than that, not having any actual world geometry at all.

No actual geometry here at all, just the guy, a shadow-catcher plane and an environment map. It's just one step above a flat background image, the point being that the angles match up.

Increase the field of view or decrease the focal length of the camera. The environment map itself is projected at infinity, you can't zoom it.

ok so i finnaly decided to give this game a shot. i dont remember much from the original HS version. but compared to the comments from HS version mom isnt as abusive in this version as she was in HS version. little sister isnt as corrupted but theres not alot to go on so far. i think there was a route where you could corrupt them to be more focused on MC(love route)
and there was one where MC was more on the dark route. and also i guess an NTR route. no idea how long it'll be before MC has the chance to fight back and save his family but we'll see i guess. good luck to DEV.

Haven't played the HS version, ntr sounds unpleasant. But, the slutty Mom in this version was great and the sister was sweet. Can't imagine HS being better.
