Bro...you're playing a game that's 50/50 about having sex with people who have dicks....and you draw the line at muscles? Lmao.
The amount of takes like this (the previous poster, not you) on these forums is wild. People are fine with 'their' fetishes being okay, but the moment something steps outside it, oh boy, lol. Hilarious.

i kind of wish that when your in the park or whatever with Rachel instead of being forced to lie and say what she wants to hear so the 2 of them can get along again that we had a choice on what to say even if it made us not talk for awhile if you love someone like ashe does you can't just forget about it like that even if its been 2 years.

Nah, that story beat can't happen then. On 2/3 paths, Rachel is stewing over the Genie/Pixie romance, can't quite accept it after a year, but it also takes up all of the space in her head. She needs more seduction to be open to breaking that kind of taboo. But it's happening (see: mysterious horny dream).

It's the nature of the game. This isn't a sandbox game. It's plot and character driven. So the dev decided that Ashe needed to lose her virginity at a certain time, and decided that it shouldn't be with anyone super close to her, so Ashe didn't lock in on one person. And they came up with the slumber party and Zoey.

Zoey is a safe person to lose Ashe's V-Card to. Anyone else, it would be a major story moment with long standing ramifications. With Zoey, it's still a major story moment, but Ashe can use it as a launch to get into more trouble.

Any scene with Rachel will have a lot of build up, just like those that opted in on Fiona got a lot of build up.

If this was a sandbox game, I likely would have chosen Delilah. But that would have ruined the plot we are currently getting.

Completely agree (with all the post), but thank god this isn't a sandbox game :LOL: probably wouldn't even try it or would happen like another futa game around that visually is appealing and is highly rated but the hard sandbox nature made me delete it, have no patience or time for sandbox games.

In addition, Zoey is a butterfly which makes her the ideal LI for the QC route where Ashe can feel "not enough" to satisfy her. The character was chosen very cleverly imho.

Yes, at first such thoughts are heard and then the devs release 1 update once a year and these people are still happy! Probably to each his own, but from 3-4 months the dev bend over to 8-10, this is not cool, dude!
Well, dev Said they want to try something different with specifically this update. When you enter uncharted Waters, unexpected things can happen. I rather have a dev try out new shit which could be awesome than doing everything the way it has always been. It also keeps stuff fresh for themselves.
But I also guess that this was a one time thing.

As I am no paying supporter, I cannot complain anyways.

What is your theory about the blackmailer btw? :KEK:

I'm leaning towards the more obvious one that it's Fiona's younger sister, but it seems to me that this is a dev's "trap", so the next step is someone from her sister's circle. I don't think it's Rachel, because that would be really cruel!

I don't mind if the render output stay about the same. The issue is when you produce the same number of renders in 8 months while you were producing them in 4 months at the beginning.

Don't guess blindly anymore, in fact, the blackmailer is me.
I made a virtual cross dimensional phone call to Ashe and asked her to do so. (I'm joking:LOL:

Actually, my first suspect was Fiona's sister (Delilah)
The conclusion I came to after playing
There is clear evidence pointing to her abnormal behavior.

I think we should give ourselves some freshness. It's better not to discuss too deeply before new content arrives, otherwise there will be a lack of excitement and exciting effects in the end.:BootyTime:

He spent most of his time working on text(writing) and if you look at the counter, not all the environment is ready yet and the background characters are only 18 out of 40, so i'm more pisimistic - i don't want to get burned in July when the dev writes that he won't have time and he needs more!
Well, if we're being realistic, then in order for him to make it on time, he needs to work, figuratively speaking, 24/7!

The dev already gave us the reason for the long development time in the progress report #2


Episode 6 will be a very special one, for a bunch of reasons. Some of you might've already guessed it: The whole next episode will be taking place during just the one party night. There's a lot of things happening there, and a lot of important characters are visiting, so you can expect a wild night for sure.

So this unique setup for the episode brings some challenges with it. Both in the writing department and the technical side.

On the narrative side, I want to experiment a little
as well, since this gives me some good opportunities for it. Mainly I want this episode to be a bit less linear than usual and have a lot of different ways on how this whole thing can play out. Since this is a bit more of an isolated event, there's a lot of room to play around with diverging paths and such, without making my life miserable in the future with too many loose ends . (But of course, there's still a bunch of things that will have consequences later on, so this is definitely not just some fun spin-off episode )

I even played around with the idea to make this episode kind of a sandbox-lite thing in some parts, but ultimately decided against it. The extra headaches with writing in regards to different world states and timelines and all that wasn't worth it in my opinion. At least not in the way I've imagined it. Especially since I can tell you already that this episode will be the most complex one yet with branching and such, even without the sandbox elements.

I'm of course not even halfway done yet, so things might still change if I see it not working out, or if the episode just gets way too big. This is another difficulty I'm facing right now, since usually I can just kind of push certain things back into another episode if it gets too big. But there's no way to do that here, since I'm not gonna spread this party over more than one episode. (I actually had kind of the same issue in the last episode, since I needed to fit all the pre-party stuff in there too)

There will also be some challenges with renders that I'm already aware of. In particular the fact that there's a lot of people attending the party. Big crowds are a tricky thing to do in DAZ, especially when you don't just want blurry shadow people or obvious cardboard cutouts in the background, while still wanting the place to feel lively and packed. I'll need some time to figure out what works best here... I have some ideas, but I just need to find a way to implement that in my workflow without slowing everything down too much. And also... I'll need to create a lot of background characters. Like... a lot .

This time I'll also need to pretty much finish all environments and new characters (or at least a big portion of background characters) before I even start doing renders. So it could take a while until I'll have some previews to show, unfortunately.

All in all I'm very excited for this episode, but I'm also a little nervous since there's a lot of tricky things to juggle here. We'll see how it goes!
