It seems I'm in the minority of people strongly disliking the look of that renderer (I read in a previous comment it is called Virt-a-mate).
A tag for this renderer would be useful for filtering.
I've seen a few people dislike it but I have to admit it's one of my faves.

I don't like Koikatsu, Honey Select isn't dogshit but not great either, Daz is okay i've seen some great character models, Sims i've seen a lot of and don't mind, Skyrim is used for a couple, Fallout for 1 that I know of, Wildlife i've seen and don't mind and then Virt which I do like the character models of and how things .... flow (or jiggle) in animated parts.


Edit - Luna just quoted the first Holly from Red Dwarf, it's now one of my fave games.

Edit 2 - The only nitpick i've got are the sex scenes. I have a real hatred for scenes that constantly change angle without my input. It's incredibly offputting and usually there is one hot angle and the rest I don't like but I can't enjoy the hot angle because it keeps changing ....... I hate it so much.

It looks like there is a hard coded name for Alina just as you get to the Demeter. It doesn't show the name the player gives her. Also, is the Virt-a-mate always so dark? It can be pretty hard to see things, especially Kess.

Thanks, will fix the hard coded mishap and the lighting in Vam isn't always dark, but there are some limitations when it comes to lighting depending on your gpu and the scene, which mine was honestly pretty weak until I had to replace it very recently. So hopefully that will improve going forward, along with other things I can do now without worrying about frying the potato.

If it makes you feel any better it's the same thing I think of when I hear that quote... and I've never even seen that movie. It came out when my mom was 1.
It does actually, I only caught it in reruns as I am apparently 13 years younger than your mom, practically a spring chicken over here.

Gonna repeat this too because I just replayed Lils scene and it made me sad....

Please don't change angles automatically during sex scenes. There are a couple of glorious angles of her arse bouncing but the scene keeps shifting so I can't enjoy it and that made me a sad Ava.

Have you seen the 2 beautiful women introduced at the end of the current content?

I'll try to keep it in mind going forward, but honestly with all the repetitive mechanical animations out there, it has conditioned me to prefer changing camera angles during animations that don't require me to click for every static position... which also requires a free hand to do so. lol

There is also some technical aspects when using VAM that encourages you to get everything useable from every angle you can in one go, like a porn shoot, because it is very possible any minute something is going to go boom and mess up the shot.

I cannot tell you the number of times dicks go awol from the designated orifice... times I ended up filming anal instead of vaginal because, slippage... and of course times physics decided a truck slapped that ass and everyone goes flying. Which while funny, can really be annoying. To anyone using Vam like I do, save often!

If it's that much of a headache then i'll just deal with it, it's the story i'm here for mainly anyway.

Shame I won't be able to enjoy the angles I like but I can deal with it. I'd rather suck it up than have it cause extra work. I genuinely assumed it would have been easier, I thought the angles changes were extra work. Learn something new everyday.

It isn't undoable, just my own preference. I know Goosenards who also works in VAM does things exactly like that and replicates what most others do with Blender and Daz often using 10-15 second clips that repeat for animation (He also does a really good job of keeping it fluid where it repeats which can be difficult in VAM). I prefer the longer animations that are disjointed and less mechanical is all, but doesn't mean I can't do some angles that are consistent and stable when the shot is good going forward.

The differences with VAM compared to blender/Daz is we setup the models and the motions similarly, but in VAM the action is carried out in real-time with physics/lighting etc like a sandbox video game. Makes capturing complex stuff quick and painless after setup, but drawback can be video size and having shit go haywire if you don't setup right and have to reload things (also can go wrong over extended durations depending on the complexity).

This game is really fucking good. I almost wish i hadn't played it til it's done. I HATE waiting to watch weekly tv episodes...waiting months for this is gonna suck.
Yup, my feelings exactly. There seems to be a lot going on as well. This kind of thing where the story is good enough to keep you engaged and there is enough lewd type content to keep it spicy is why I prefer this medium to most other forms of entertainment at this point.

Just finished the current update, and to my surprise i didnt fast click the dialog and story at all. FUCKKKK you hooked me, DEV. I wish you all the best with your game and hopefully you can maintain the quality and lewd content per update. god damnnn i enjoy it. Though i do have a small grips with the changing angles of the lewd scenes. So if you can do anything about it, much appreciated but if in turn cause way more time than usual, dont bother with it.

I enjoy it as is current form anyway ^^

Its a great game, just dont make me have to sacrifice girls or something like that.
I'm not into the George RR Martin style in general, I don't make games and stories to torture the player, but I also try to use all the literary tools.
