idk if I manage to stray my way into the sharing route or something, but this last update felt like it really tried to pull me in that direction

 

[CursedByAll]

You know, I take it as a great compliment to the dev that somehow of all things, semantics/linguistics is an issue....
Not graphic quality, story direction, spelling, model suitability, route choices, lack of promise....or a million other whinges usually happening in other threads.....
Good work Mr Fable (and Tony too)

Sorry I was busy occupied with some family stuff over the weekend, and will be busy for the next couple of days and my activity here will be limited. For those who are wondering which parts of the game are AI, the songs are. The lyrics and the vocals for the theme songs was generated by AI. Unfortunately I did not have the capital to invest in that but if we get big enough i would probably hire someone for that too. Also I am planning to add some AI generated animations later on top of our regular animations. Our regular DAZ animations would still be a part of the game. But some complex movements are quite close to impossible to create through Daz. However, if I do include (I have not 100% decided yet) AI generated animations I will provide an option in the menu to completely turn off AI generated animations for those who hate that.
And regarding my writing, I am in discussion with a professional writer to take over most of the writing, so I can concentrate more on Daz animations and coding, and to make sure I don't burnout. Right now the bottleneck is the writing (not the artist). I am getting a bit behind as the number of paths and options are increasing, coding is also taking more of my time. However, the writer will still follow my storyline I have planned for the game, so it will still stay true to my vision.

I am confident the writing will even be better. And the scene ideas will still come from my deranged mind. So it will be good.

 

[Mr Fable]

I do a few games, but not too many as I do it for my job and here it's only to help out.

And I am grateful for your help. Also mindexcursion for his help with translations.

 

[Eleanorduval]

There is a guy who did french translation for my italian slut wife,maybe if we ask him kindly he can help.I m french speaker but i dunno if i can help.

 

[Eleanorduval]

Well, the burden of proof is on you, because it's extremely hard for me to prove the non-existence of something - all I can do (which I did) is look and say "I didn't find anything". Meanwhile, you can provide evidence of the AI writing you believe you exist, which can at least then be discussed, but all you did was say you trust your skills and experience. In the meantime, the dev popped in and confirmed that AI was not used in the writing.

Bro u talk to wall i prefere personaly speak,about the scenes and plot instead of speak about AI

 

[Mr Fable]

I get what u mean i don't see the point of sex without fmc/mc presence.It increase the work of the dev and make him lose focus on what it is more important.
1-2 scenes between npc it pass,but it starting to make too much if he add more.

There will be some more, they will be connected to the plot.

 

[Eleanorduval]

[Mr Fable]

The songs are pretty solid imo, almost indistinguishable from some generic human-made songs and it's more than enough for a VN. It's probably better to invest resources towards just getting more content done, especially as it seems that the game will be quite long. As for the AI animations I would have to see what that looks like but that could be a good idea.

I have no problem with AI visuals per se but in my experience playing a lot of VNs on this site the games where all visuals are AI-generated always have poor writing and the most generic bland storylines, every single time. I haven's seen a single exception yet. Not sure why that is, maybe because great writers just don't want to work on low-effort projects and that's why they all go for human-made visuals?

Either way in your case it's clear that you have the vision to make a great game, so if AI can speed up the development that would be great, not sure about the details as I'm not using that kind of software myself, but certainly something to consider.

 

[Mr Fable]

Have to admit that photo shoot was so tame I fell asleep. I mean I get slow burn is a thing and helps set the scene but that was a *no burn* situation. Good grief. I'm here to see the protag and wives in these games get nasty, not watch them undo a top button whilst everyone else is doing anal and BJ's. Nice art for sure though and the fan service for Perfect Marriage was fun. But come on lets see some action with the wifey next please...And not with her husband.

The corruption will happen slowly at first. But it will speed up as things start to happen.

I think Some people want u to jump directly to the sex.

 

[Mr Fable]

I'm fine with that too - though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a slight bit concerned at the trajectory after this update....seems like our second derivative crossed the axis after having sarah dance/flirt with others and voyeur sex scenes ---> to a current grand finale of an undone button?

Yeah yeah i get it buildup and all.... just a slight concern.

Putting it that way now also has me concerned.

In the previous update, she can let Neil's hands wander over her body, but now she hesitates undoing a button?

A small continuity "mistake", nothing major but could be the first stages of cancer...

I don't believe that akin to taking a step back. In the first dance scene Sarah was being polite or passive rather than flirting back. And in the photoshoot she is actively making the decision to cross her boundaries. These boundaries may not seem much at first but will quickly escalate as she gain more confidence and enjoys attention. It would have been different if she was the instigator or grinding Neil during the first dance scene. But rather she was in a difficult situation, un-sure how to react.

exactly she didn't want her boss to get bad impression.During the text she was embarassed at the begin.Second therapy session will have big consequence on events.I mean u can't treat scene isolate from each other,there cause and consequences.
It will up to player to prove if dr eva theory are right or wrong.But doesn't change the fact that the initial plan isn'tfor helping the couple.
Tony made interesting suggestion about dr eva.

Correct me if i m wrong or missing a point.

 

[Estius]

Great story and writing. I do think the weirdly obsessed boss was a bit much because it's very cliché in AVN's now, but I suppose a story needs a weird antagonist now and then... or not...

I do like the vn overall and point system in the game seems solid. The modern day professional couple is really nice too. Good luck

If that was how it was intentioned; id look at the specific dialogue lines between her and neil during dance or inner monologues of hers then and there. It's not a big deal either way, was just a slight concern, no more.

 

[Eleanorduval]

The real story is about the couples corruption wether it's together or solo. Trying to please every person's individual kinks doesn't work and dev end up pulling out their hair trying to make too many paths and keeping every degenerate happy.

This project has moved up several spots on my list as other devs projects suffer from the things listed above.

Hopefully devs don't try and appease everyone and end up making the story to complicated. Wife is hot would love to see her next photoshoot and more!!! Good job dev, keep up the good work.

bro keep cool and calm,everyone here have right to express their opinion.U worrying too much...

Is it confirmed that Abigail is MC's love interest?
