Pity. Some of the filtering is bearable but there's several gifs that are so blocky that it might as well be censored.
Yeah, I know the ones you're referring to. I had originally used a cartoon filter that added black lines, and a lot of the older animations still have that. Now I have fully switched over to a new method that is extremely performance and compression friendly, so that I can compress videos without getting the blocky-ness etc and motion-caused compression artifacts. With each release, I go through a chunk of older videos and replace them, but it is going to be a long road to get those 100% eliminated. All I can say, is they will get less and less over time.
The AI filtering process I use now actually is what allowed me to convince SubscribeStar to approve my game. I personally think the filtered video I use looks better than a lot of the original porn sources, but that's an opinion of course.
Here's an example of what some of the before/after looks like.
1. I go over every video and use AI to re-render it at 960x540, which gets the outlines of the actors to be much crisper than just a simple down-res and compression.
2. I use a video editor on that source to color-correct and get everything looking colorful and consistent
3. I use another tool to reduce the number of colors, which aids in finally compressing the videos without visual artifacts.
I know it will not be to everyone's taste, but I do a lot more on these clips than just 'filter' them. I also use different compression rates now on different videos, because porn clips with greater amounts of motion need higher amounts of data to keep them looking good.
But if you or anyone wants to release a mod that "removes the filter" on everything, I don't mind whatsoever! I just want the core game to end up looking like the lower picture rather than the top picture, generally speaking.
The character you pick at the start affects the porn star you see in the pics and thus the size of the tits you see.
Yep - if you want the absolute biggest tits, I'd recommend either Blake Blossom or Autumn Falls, or Ella Knox as your mc. Though I'm partial to Liya Silver's tits myself.
And I'll be uploading 14b today! Will add the option to wear clothes without underwear, and also to have a little blurb that describes the clothes you're wearing when hovering your mouse over the character portrait.
This really need a system that takes notes for you automatically. It got a great concept but at this point it feels like I'm doing homework which is not fun "gameplay" and frankly stuff like the chick who after you spent a bunch of time trying to talk to her and buying drinks then going "I only date blacks", if you have a system like that, make it clear before the player spends time and resources on deadends. I don't know if there are also stuff like that with work, but if there is the same applies.
Good idea regarding the auto-note taking, I actually have this in my to-do list. Regarding the girls at the bar, I do believe they reveal their preferences if you talk to them enough. But I forget, I coded that so long ago. It's a good point as well. (The main reason for the girl who only dates black guys, and the girl who only dates white/asian guys, is just a restriction on what animations I gathered for them lol - may remove these preferences in future and add scenes for both)
Dude, the game is awesome, can't wait till version 0.2 where big fun begins. Maybe there is way to help you out (not financial at the moment, unfortunately) to speed up the things?
I do regularly post writing prompts etc, so feel free to
You must be registered to see the links
and there will be opportunities to help out occasionally. For instance, I had a lot of help writing the outfit descriptions, since there were 600+ outfits that all needed several different descriptions and stats. If I did them all myself, they would have gotten less creative over time due to the repetition. But crowdsourcing the task let them all be relatively entertaining, because everyone could just do a few of them.
A question but will I be able to raise stats in later versions? It would feed my need to see the numbers go up! Oh and fun game I enjoyed it.
Yes you will be able to level up your stats. In version 0.15 which I will be starting dev on soon, you will be able to train and increase your fitness in sex scenes in the gym (as well as in the non-sex gym minigames).
Really enjoying the game so far but it seems you kinda get punished for taking pills and acting slutty.
AFAIK there is no way to increase your identity and stats, so when you lose stats it kinda feels bad for taking the pills and acting slutty.
Also i think it would be better if you could adjust your initial stats manually, instead of it being a random re-roll
Yes, once the score multiplier is working properly, I think I will remove fully the "Player Archetype" and rather let the player apply their own stats within a range. The higher their stats, the slower their XP gains will be. In future, there may also be advantages and disadvantages you can take that will adjust your XP gain rate further. I really like the way Daggerfall handles character creation and I aim to eventually make a hyper-simplified version of it.
