December News
🕑 Added 2024-12-26 18:42:39 +0000 UTCHi everyone... 👋
I hope you all had nice holidays🎄. I spent mine with my kitties and my puppy🐾. Thank you so much for downloading the latest update and for all your feedback and opinions. After reading through everything, I've made some important decisions.
Let me share the big news! 🎮
First, I'm going back to full 3D (just Daz3D), dropping the AI + Daz3D blending. Your feedback, combined with the new solutions I found, really helped me make this decision.
About the technical improvements - you'll notice I've attached several PNG images of the new main menu. Let me break down what you're seeing:
Pure Daz3D with Photoshop clipping fixes and Lightroom adjustments
Upscaled textures to 8K (used AI just for this)
Combined with original textures
AI-assisted JPEG compression and DDS error removal
Added normal maps and bump maps
New optimized render settings (finally found the sweet spot!)
Speaking of story progress, remember how I mentioned Chapters 1-4 are Act 1? Well, all these new images you're seeing are part of Act 2's story!
Oh! I discovered something amazing - Obsidian! You wouldn't believe how helpful it's been for organizing ideas and connecting all those scattered notes from various Word docs, Excel sheets, and random papers around my house. I've included the "neural" network view of what I've done - each dot represents a connected element. It might not make sense to you, but I wanted to share anyway!
About character development:
I noticed your comments about some good AI effects, like Madison's improvements. So I've tried to achieve better shaping naturally, making her slightly different from her pre-remake version
All female characters got new skin textures, including Aoi and Aya (non-LIs returning in Act 2). Aya's got a new hairstyle too!
Elizabeth's aging effects are now achieved without AI - something I thought impossible before! Yes, she looks worn and sad now, but don't worry - she'll have a glow-up in Act 2
Those who played before the remake might remember Kitsune - she's coming back in Act 2
For Episode 5, as promised, Elizabeth will be the main LI (both present and past versions). Nanami, Amber (present and past), and Paz will be part of the subplot. I'm really excited about including those "past" images, like we did with Nanami's conversations with MC - seeing the memories instead of just reading about them makes everything more impactful, don't you think?
I'll start converting the draft into something more concrete and begin rendering soon.
Kisses to everyone and thank you for your support 🥰

Wow I haven't played since the old version. What happened to the quality, went downhill fast. Guess I won't even bother with it anymore.

Just wanted to let you know that this is (so far) the best adult VN out there for me. Thank you for doing this and keep up the great work! <3

Are you still working on the animations? In my opinion, you should animate all sex scenes in the game before releasing another update, and then only release future updates when everything is animated, the lewd scenes without animations are really a bummer, this is my opinion the game is great.

I am confused, is the new Update playable yet?

When we can play the new update????

AI will have an impact on traditional 3D in the next decade, but not today. Miss , Make Daz Great Again ! To leave something good for our time.

Amber, my beloved! She's one of my fav LI in AVN of all time. Love both her past and present designs. Excited for the next update. Here are my feed backs for the last one. 1. I don't think you should lock the interaction with certain LI by forcing a player to pick a choice that will pursue another LI. Like how you kinda have to pursue Nanami to see Amber, Elizabeth, etc. scenes. My suggestion would be putting one more choice to let the player decide whether to get flirty with Nanami or just entertain her but still keep the distance. 2. I'm surprised Elizabeth's reintroduction in the last update is optional and not mandatory. But it makes sense now that she's the main LI for the next chapter. People who went with Isabella's route and missed Elizabeth scene will get a proper reintroduction perhaps?

I’m happy to see you being able to make good progress with the game and characters.

Oh, I have tried that app too but it's too awful... I recommend you using what I've told you, you will see the difference. The only downside is you will need a big GPU .
Lucius Logan
sometimes when I need I use Topaz Gigapixel AI

The Holiday went greatly. Hopefully yours was as well. Thanks for the big and great news. It was a fun read 😁. The images are 🔥!!!

Before on Act 1 = SD + bunch of Loras. If you mean on the texture upscaling = 4xRealWebPhoto on chaiNNer (you can get that @ OpenModelDB)

just out of curiosity, I'm also a 3D artist (https://www.patreon.com/c/LuciusLogan), what AI program did you use?
