It's just bad. And being all "woe is me, I have no talent" is bullshit - this isn't an anime where you magically have talent, people start off from the bottom, they look at another game or engine and think "thats cool, how do I do that" then they either google it, ask the devs or look into the code of the game. It's been a year since you started putting the games out and there's been almost no improvement to the design or how the story is played out from my view.

At the very least, I'd expect to see improvements in UI - fonts, colours, CSS - there are Twine/HTML games from ten years ago that look better than this. If you want to make real money doing this, then you need more. I could spend a couple of hours on this in CSS and make it look infinitely better by just adding UI elements and background colours.
I'm down because I don't know what to do. You can't be talented in a blip, that is true. But I don't want to go back to ai only either, I like working with the daz engine a lot. But if my subscribers leave I won't be able to afford it. And frankly I don't get this whole nobody goes to jail thing. Hey buddy, let's steal some gas. Nobody goes to jail. Hey buddy, let's break some windows, nobody goes to jail. And sometimes you do and in our society if that happens your entire life is ruined.

Some good news!

Yesterday I stumbled into a service that lets you use a powerful PC to make renders for just $6 per hour. I decided to set up shop and try it out because I have a lot of issues with render times. To the point that I constantly have to choose between making a lot of content or making pretty content, and I don't want this to be a choice.

These are some of the renders I made with it. They took around 10 minutes to make, but I still think I'm going to be renting quite often because I really have to solve my render problem. These 4 hour render times won't cut it, especially if I want to have dom content and more fetishes that are included in my games.

I honestly think it will be better than upgrading the pc as well. I've been running my current build 12 hours a day for months now and I honestly have the fear that it will die, which would be a disaster. And even if I upgrade the pc from let's say a $1000 it will still be a modest build compared to those absolute monsters that other devs have. And it can can burn to a crisp too. So let's just keep paying a good $60 bucks a month for this and unleash hell and mayhem. :D

Is there anyone who played through the Elena extension? I worked a lot on it, especially the renders.
I have not been able to play it, but I think it will divide the audience.

New people will like it and old players will be divided by the simple new look of Elena. The problem for those of us who played the first AI versions is that some characters looked too beautiful, including Elena. An unrealistic redhead and too perfect for what her character was.

The new renders take a lot of work and I know that it's impossible to tweak it to make it look like the old character portrait, but it does take some time to get used to it.

I am aware that it's devisive but I need NSFW images and frankly I'm unable to tame the ai. It can't get faces two times in a row. Daz is easier in this sense and I want to do it 100% Daz from now on to avoid this kind of ambiguity.

How are you doing with Daz?

I guess it's pretty hard to do all your bondage scenes, isn't it?

I can't even imagine how hard it is to do the scene with the ponygirl in the desert :eek:.

I'm doing well, at least I think I learned a lot. I started to rent a pc for $6 per hour because it makes them crazy fast. I usually put a $100 or close from my salary to a new computer so it's affordable this way. It is true that some might not like Daz, but all of the NSFW images were Daz so far, and there are artists who do well with it. So it's still viable.

Nobody even played through it. LOL...

Edit: I added the downloads that are shared. And more than 1500 people downloaded :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

And I know. I'm annoying... I just don't know what to do with this. The greatest comeback I've seen was No Man's Sky, but even at that point people downloaded it and played it through. I have nothing. I even got to the point that I opened a post about it on Patreon, and I got no feedback. And I'm here. I'm making the renders. I'm formatting the CSS. And there isn't even a person who played it through and provides an opinion.

I collected around $1000 for the daz conversion too and I'm ready to use it up. A good portion is a donation I received is what I had for the computer upgrade before I started renting a PC. I just can't stop being angry at myself. I never seen a creator who kept posting and never got his work played through. And I love it and I want to continue but I can't believe that I'm so shit. I keep working on the project everyday after work and on the weekends, and this is how shit my work is.

ok, having played it, I don't have a problem with the renders like some people do but I feel like it's kinda repetitive with the same scene playing out most of the time and the few new instances of stuff like exploring the city feel like they end way to quickly. Honestly that's the biggest problem I have with the game so far, once you reach a bad end it's essentially just watching the same short scene three times then you get a single page of text at the end detailing what your life is like now. I think having the bad ends be more fleshed out and playable (but not just the same scene happening each time) is the best advice I can offer.

Thanks! :) Now that I'm revamping it I'm thinking about all the slavery stuff happening ingame. I.e. you are Elena's slave, Elena decided to hold you against your will, so you are going through Jafar with a collar on your neck and ask people for help. The problem I have with all these slave cycles is that the only way to extend lets say 5 cycles is to make 5 games. And then people either like the fetish displayed in it or they don't, so you have a game thats 5 games (more like ten because there are at least 10 cycles), and everybody waits forever because of the different fetishes.
