you dont "render" scenes in Honey Select LOL
you press "save screenshot" instantly.

for those who dont know
HS is live 3D
he can make 10 "renders" from different positions in no time.

You absolutely do not understand what rendering in HS is. Yes, the process of obtaining the final image is very fast (fractions of a second), but preparation for it takes a lot of time. You need to set up characters, props on the stage, for the characters you need to set the pose (a fucking difficult process if you want the pose to look natural), pick up lighting and set the angle. In addition, the HS studio interface can hardly be called user-friendly (especially for fine-tuning). All this takes hours, and if in addition it is also a new location, the time increases many times.
For DAZ or Blender it is also relevant - rendering on modern GPUs takes very little time, and the time spent on scene preparation and adjustment far exceeds the time spent on rendering itself in any editors.
So stop bitching about it.

It sounds like a gay excuse to me to avoid problems, but well... His patreons will decide if they are happy with those changes or not.

Somewhat, at the same time it's also justified if you consider their actual(likely) age, since it wasn't just Emi but Ben and Leo too.

 

[Alandir]

Yeah they were way too small and it was just weird. Their body proportions, especially with most of the girls don't fit that young an age anyway.
It had this weird effect where they look ok when it's just ben with the girls, but then you got scenes like with stephs dad, putting them next to an older person and they look like bizarre midgets.

I mean, it is not like BaiBai needs an excuse or anything. It is his game, when he is unhappy with how the models look, he can change them for whatever reason.

And his plan was never to have Emily as a Loli or anything. In fact, if we look at most models, BaiBai seems to prefer things far away from Lolis.

Well, it's not as if the ages and schools are strangely hidden and you have the option of skipping the scenes with Emily or Lola...

And? This was not even my point. But thanks I guess.

 

[Dogorti]

Maybe baibai wants to release the game on patreon in the future... hope not, that would be a bad idea.

 

[dolfe67]

Yes it is, there is even an option to skip loli content (which only skip Emily's lewd scenes).

Dev changed his mind, I'm a little sad but it what it is, we accept it or we move on.

This would not be possible because of incest. I mean, sure, there could be a patch for it and you do a Roommate/Landlady-situation, but I doubt it.

I am pretty sure that he mentioned that it was not the intention, but I cannot find it. At least not posted by him, so the chances are high that I misremembering something or that it was posted in a Dev-Update.

But I dont mind it personally. He could have kept the Lolis or not, both are fine for me. I am more of a big tits-guy anyway, so I have plenty to look forward to in this game, haha.

Yeah he mentioned someting like that.

The option to skip was only introduced because people kept complaining about Emily scenes, ut wasn't there at the start, and even back then Baibai clearly said he intended to have her grow

As someone who does 3D art in Blender as a hobby: Spot on. Rendering the final image is the least time consuming thing about the whole process.

Highly doubt it, he would have to change the whole plot and setting + remove some of the more sinister choices, like blackmailing a LI for sexual services with the threat of exposing her current boyfriend as a test cheater.

 

[Alandir]

I don't want to search the post, but I remember after 0.9 baibai saying something to the extent that the height of most of the smaller characters had been messed up since the beginning and that he had often had to adjust the models on the fly during rendering to make things look good despite the height disparities and that he adjusted the height of many characters in 0.9 so he wouldn't have to do that anymore.
And to me that makes sense. You can still see some of those issues he mentions in some scenes, like with stephs dad.
Emily, Ben and Alyvia also are only supposed to have one year between them each and the new height match that much closer. A girl of alyvias age wouldn't tower over her brother who's just 1 year younger.

 

[dolfe67]

Then explain the X, Y and Z school system. Emily is in first year of Y. In my country X school is 5-12 year old, Y is 12-15 and Z is 15-18. I think it's pretty much the same everywhere, 1 year more or less.

So she's about 13yo. Was she looking too young? Everyone has their opinion.

School years are hardly a bullet proof indication of age. Children get put into school early or late all the time. And given that there's only 1 date each year that new children get put into school system, it's common for there to be almost a year of age difference between members of the same class.
If ben is 13 months older than emily, their age difference is still roughly a year, but its entirely plausible for them to be 2 school years apart depending on whether they were born before or after school start that year.
I don't really care about emily anyway, think about her change what you will. I know that the new height makes much more sense for the mc and the other girls his age.

 

[duckydoodoo]

yeah, some places have "middle school" that is test prep and learing for university entry, where as other places middle school is befor high school. in most places of the US public educaton system middle school is grades 6-8, sometimes 5-8 or 7-9, but the standard is 6-8. high school being grades 9-12 and though should be college prep are still working on teaching half the students to read at an elementary level. so we really cant guage the age game characters based on school terms unless it is specifically stated the nation county district grade and age level in the game. otherwise everyone is just using personal bias as some kind of crazy universal measurement and its plain stupid.

all that matters is in baibai's world, the sisters age is consenting and fuckable.

If I think back to my female classmates? Definitely.
