itch.io

Best of luck with the move. I hope everything works out for you.

Looks good. I'll admit, with the way things are in the US right now, I was starting to get worried when there was no word from anyone for a couple of months. Good to hear that you're doing well. Did you ever manage to get the problems with your computer worked out?

Thanks, that was bugging the heck out of me, I've accidentally fucked up rotating or positioning models a few times because I clicked on the wrong axis. I get wanting to make a more Dark-mode style setting, but why did they have to remove color-coding the axis to do it?

Wait, what does the interface look like for Daz 2025? ... is that why everything is now highlighted in teal in my version?

Wait, no, mine still says 4.24 in the toolbar, so I guess the ".24" update just decided to arbitrarily fuck with their menu colors.

So it may have just been a case of running out of space on the drive Windows is trying to run from? I've been there. Good thing that migrating the files seems to have helped at least somewhat.

Were you able to figure out the Windows issues, or are you just gritting your teeth and bearing with them?

Fuuuuuuck. Does it at least say why your computer suddenly isn't Windows 11 compatible? Is it the TPM chip?

Looks good for the most part, MaryOfficePlaying05_composite in 0000111, MaryOfficePlaying06_composite in 0000011, MaryOfficePlaying07_composite in 0000001 all look really grainy and washed out, they really stick out like a sore thumb when they pop up in the composite image. Other than that, everything looked good. Hopefully the reinstall process goes quick and painlessly.

Oof, I'm sorry to hear that. Virus or just something decided to break horribly?

"Wait... you guys render in minutes?" Yeah... my rig isn't that beefy and renders themselves usually take an hour or two for what I usually make. I'm sure I can get it to make the renders faster if I tweaked settings, but as long as I can make a render a day, I'm usually happy. That being said, my current scenes have been going much faster when it's just two characters, a small set and a backdrop instead of a full-blown set.

... I may have a problem with letting perfect be the enemy of good ("Too hot for Itch.io" when, Stripe? :p)

Interesting idea, it would certainly be a different take on what's been done so far. And you're saying there's something wrong with trying to work with... uh... *checks the render that made me swear off large group scenes* 21 characters in a single scene?

Actually, if I'm being honest, my computer doesn't seem to struggle that much the more people there are in a scene if I'm only moving one or a few at a time, it's some of the hair styles or environments that really makes it chug. My computer does NOT like the pixie cut.

Woo!

I'll never say no to more opponents

You know, I think the problem isn't so much their expression being sad/annoyed, but that it looks like all their expressions are sad/annoyed. I get being annoyed on a loss (especially if you lose with two pair or three of a kind), but I don't think any of their images crack a smile after a point.

Okay, I've had a chance to play both Saiki and Elena, they look good though I do have one question.

Why do they both look like someone is just offscreen aiming a gun at them? They look outright terrified after the first few clothing come off.

I  haven't had a chance to play CSP in the past couple of days.

Okay, that looks more like Kim in the other sets. Much better.

...suggestion for a future set: "Barbie and Friends" :p (Just make the people wear 90's as hell clothing with a heavy use of pink decor)

Huh, she looks... off for some reason. Might just be the hair style or the expression, but I'm getting strong "Barbie" vibes from this look for her that I wasn't getting from the previous versions of her.

yeah... yeah...

In my defense, its two sisters having a heart-to-heart while watching TV at night (well, okay, this particular render is one of them calling bullshit on an infomercial's "Has this ever happened to you?" segment). But I did figure out the light problem! 

On the plus side, I did figure out lighting and how to actually make lights... light (I say as I proceed to use one of the darkest images to prove a point).

No rush, I was just curious. I'm really not one to be demanding people hurry, lord only knows I've done zero work on the one I said I was going to make since the initial post, because I've been spending all my free computer time making renders for the game I'm working on. Over 100 renders for the next update, and I'm still not done... I really should have cut this update in half...

Looking fantastic. Dare I ask how the "NSF CSP" version is coming along?

Looking good. I'm looking forward to seeing the set when it's fully finished (your choice on if you consider Stripe's fantastic work to be included in the definition of "finished"

Kim is always a good one to see from you.

I'm looking forward to the new sets

That could work

I'd say it's Eldricus's call if you're allowed to post links to it, this is the community forum for their game. I would love to see the set when it's done, but if they think it's a bit too much to be directly associated with them like this, then I don't want them to get mad at you for it.

Well, when it's finished, I hope you don't decide to turn down the raunchiness from what you have planned now. Or break it up into a "Base" pack and a "Too hot for itch.io" pack (god I feel old making that reference).

"A bit raunchy" and you WON'T release it? That's just being mean at this point.

I will take your suggestions under advisement. I won't change the tags yet, but I'll adjust them when I'm ready to release the next bit. And I'll keep the lgbt tag off then, the way itch.io described it made it seem easy to abuse. Because this is just the prologue, and the story proper is set in modern times, I left off any setting tags for this release.

Oh, as far as general content: harem, ffm, sex toys, possibly preg but doubtful in the near future, possibly futanari (I will probably make that an option for people who do or don't want that content), possibly tentacles. There won't be ntr, I'm not a fan of that content.

That's... a good question. If you mean itch.io tags, nsfw (which I've now added, because I'm an idiot), maaaaybe monster girls (Do Fae Folk count as monster girls?), maybe LGBT depending on how I feel (there are characters I plan on being bi or lesbians, but I don't know if they count in this case or if it will necessarily come up when I write the scenes involving them. I don't want to have two background women kiss and go "Look! Lesbians! I can say it has LGBT now!"). Itch.io has a lot of tags and they're not exactly the easiest to see definitions for. 

As far as standard sexual "tags" go... well, okay, I may have to see what itch.io rules say I can post in comments before I start typing those.
