Hello! Today I'd like to show you some of the things I'm working on. The next update will have new poses, scenes and costumes. If I manage to get my way there will be a few surprises too.

GRAVURE STUDIO OVERLAY
Grusigast has updated the overlay again! Wahoo! Before the next implementation I'd really like to request some tweaks. Adding a togglable wet feature is great, but the values ranges are a bit suspect right now and will need some fine tuning.

ROADMAP GOALS
I've said this many a time already, but I really, really want to implement multi-character scenes into PP, but at the moment the only way to make this happen would be through editing story scenes or tag victory screens, and those are not convenient for viewing in the same way that PP scenes are. By hook or by crook I will find a way to make these work but it will take time. A lot of time wasted is someone like me without much programming background trying to finagle a solution for these oft requested features.

RESHADE ADJUSTMENTS
I might, and I stress might, release an optional alternative Reshade configuration that reintroduces path tracing. The problem is that the author of this reshade shader charges money for it's use now, so it gets complicated. In order to comply with his licensing I'd have to release the config, and basically direct people to go to his patreon, buy a subscription, link their discord to their patreon, join his discord server, and download the corresponding shader pack in a hidden channel and piecemeal the specific shaders into the directory needed in conjunction with my preset configuration. What a fucking headache. I don't begrudge the man for making a living but charging for something like this makes it such a headache to implement for the end user. It'd be like people needing to buy licenses for Havok Engine, Source Engine, Steam, C++ and then manually configure them just to play Half Life 2. There's got to be a better way! Some of the pictures posted use the path tracing shader and some of them don't. If you can't tell the difference then maybe it's not even worth bothering going down this rabbit hole.

NOTE FOR ZACK ISLAND GOLD MEMBERS
I know that some of you have been waiting a long time for your requests to be filled, and there's a good reason for it... actually there isn't. I've been slacking. If you have not had a request filled yet please let me know and/or remind me. I promise I will start working on them ASAP. You can message me on Discord, Patreon or wherever, but again, please try to restrict requests to something from the DOA franchise.
