Yeah, I wasn’t super into the idea of Lisa hooking up with Jose either, but my supporters voted for him — and by a landslide. You can’t just toss out your plans every time someone has a “wish,” but at the same time, I keep getting messages complaining that Lisa doesn’t have a single male partner besides Hunter. You can't ignore that.
Of course, this part’s gonna be optional. And I really tried to keep Jose’s dignity intact as much as possible, considering he was always shown as a loving husband and dad.
And good luck with learning. I’d recommend picking one thing to focus on — either DAZ or Honey Select. If your rig can handle it, or you’re actually planning to upgrade soon, then definitely go with DAZ. But if a decent PC isn’t in the cards anytime soon, well… then Honey Select it is.
Learning Ren’Py well enough to make a simple VN? That’s a one-day job, honestly. You’ll get the hang of the deeper stuff as you go.
Blender’s great for making high-quality renders and animations, but not when you need to crank out at least 20 renders a day. Knowing Blender will seriously level up your work, but in the beginning, stick with DAZ Studio. And yeah — if you went with Honey Select, then Blender doesn’t really make much sense anyway.
