Status Update #22
Added 2025-02-08 00:20:03 +0000 UTCHello there, everyone!
This week we continued working on a lewd scene, figuring out which parts to animate and how far to take it. Too short is lame, but too long and the scene drags on. The build-up however is the important part, and the screenplay for that is coming along nicely.
We also worked on a couple of our sets, reworking some props for them and changing them to fit our current vision. The camera overlay we showed a couple status updates back is also going to be changed a bit.
Next up, some Ember planning and dialogue.
Spooky happening
There was a minor scare in the form of missing PC files. DazStudio.exe was suddenly gone and we got to learn about an error we've never seen before: "A device which does not exist was specified." Huh, weird. After a quick PC restart, the whole drive was now gone.
Great.
After an hour of panic, getting ready to sort backups and Googling everything about the issue, it suddenly worked fine after a cold boot. No action required... yet.
A stark reminder to keep backups ready and working. One day you might need them!
Weekly summary:
Animation posing
76+ renders for the queue
A couple new sound effects
Npx tears
Prop rework
Other news
This month we added a couple of extra options to the Special Render poll for Influencers, Helen and Cassandra. And currently Cassandra is in the lead for February, closely followed by Ms.Hill and Sophie.
February might very well be the first win for Cassie, or a lady outside of the main cast in general!
Have a nice and comfy weekend, everyone.
Cheers,
Robison & Npx

2025-02-10 22:29:25 +0000 UTCYeah I mean if you have scenes like that happening with no context, that kinda gives a clue as to the quality of the AVN. Not that ai want to slate a game that I don't even know the name of let alone, probably haven't played but for me, half the excitement is in the build up to the sex scene. The sexual tension, the flirting, the teasing...then when it finally happens , it feels like you've needed up exactly where you were destined too if that makes sense.

2025-02-10 19:52:38 +0000 UTC@Summer Sun Lilatentakel is right... 1: All the SH ladies! They're all number #1 βπ»π₯°! 2: And Helen (sorry, Helen lovers).

2025-02-10 16:06:35 +0000 UTCOh, you make a little mistake...Sophie is always no. 1 π

2025-02-10 06:52:49 +0000 UTCI played an AVN that has a sex scene that randomly happened with no context and drags for a little too long. I was skipping like crazy. Hoping to get to a new scene. And others who played the AVN during that scene agreed.
Jonathan Hang
2025-02-10 05:11:49 +0000 UTCHaha yeah I don't think I've ever played an AVN and thought to myself, damn this sex scene is going a bit too long ππ The longer the better, right girls? Err girls??? Guess it's just us, bro π

2025-02-08 13:14:35 +0000 UTCThats true. Its not only the fidelity of the models but the animations and poses also. It adds very well to realism of characters.

2025-02-08 11:33:04 +0000 UTCSet up a PC with a cheap CPU and GPU and tons of free space as a Server and set up SVN for your files. You don't need to use GIT but you need some sort of version control.

2025-02-08 11:32:14 +0000 UTCCan somebody please tell our beloved dev to get that harmful idea out of his head please! When it comes to fucking there is no such thing as "too long" or "the scene dragging on". only problem when it comes to the horizontal mamba is anything beeing to short, right ladies? Hellooooo??? Any ladies in the house...? ...

2025-02-08 04:28:07 +0000 UTCI love you Rob and Npx. You guys make the most awesome AVN ever π₯° So, now I'm going back to bed, it's 3:00 in the morning in my area and I just woke up briefly π΄

2025-02-08 01:35:45 +0000 UTCIt's only a matter of time before you get bored of me telling you how excited I am for the next update but guess what, I am excited and I don't care who knows it! Super excited about the lewd scene. All the lewd scenes but especially the build-up. The build-up is what make s it hot, or at least adds to the hotness! Excited to see the tweaked sets and props. I love your original art, it really helps the game to stand out amongst the crowd and I applaud your originality. Ooh more Ember. Something else for me to get excited by ππ Oof! That was a close one! I was panicking just reading about it, poor Npx! I'm glad you keep backups too. I can't even imagine if something happened and you didn't have back-ups, it's enough to give you nightmares and doesn't bear thinking about! Meanwhile, wasn't that Cassie in the banner? She was certainly busty enough to be her! Interesting to see some change in the special. I think Helen might've been a tad optimistic but we never know what might take people's fancy. Personally, it would be a runaway Ms Hill landslide if it were up to me but I'd definitely be more than happy to settle for Cassie π I'm quite partial to a hot MILF. Who knows, perhaps one day we might have a Hill Sister double. Now that would be extra special! Lol. Thanks for putting another big smile on my face with your Devlog and have a fantastic weekend. Npx, no more tears, that's an order! π
Vincent Vega
2025-02-08 01:34:16 +0000 UTCMaybe Daz is scared of making a Helen special render π€ And good to see you're both more responsible than me with backups lol. Thanks for the update and have a nice weekend! π

2025-02-08 00:57:55 +0000 UTCThis studio has one of the best graphics for adult games I have seen. The best adult games I have seen so far is lust academy, freshwomen, thief of hearts, lesson in loyalty and this one. Keep up the amazing work!

2025-02-08 00:53:03 +0000 UTCAlways make Backups guys it's important, saving your stuff two times a week, in the middle and in the end of the week would be the best, lost some important stuff in the past after my computer broke down and everything was lost. It really saves you nerves and your valuable things.

2025-02-08 00:51:08 +0000 UTCThanks for the update Robison and Npx! Yep sounds about right for Daz to act funky. I have so many backups I donβt remember making half of them lmao. Have a great weekend :)
