Weekly Update 32/2025 (Patreon)

Hi!

This week, no wildlife encounters. No tactical boar operations. Instead, I battled a different kind of beast — DAZ Studio.

My RTX 5090, a true monster of a card, seems to have frightened DAZ so badly that it forgot how to behave. In the old DAZ, I can’t work because the Iray Preview simply doesn’t show. In the new DAZ 2025, I can’t work because the posing scripts don’t run, and the entire viewport lags like a dying mammoth. A “shorts” issue that normally takes 4 hours took two days.

I used the remaining time to tweak my plan slightly. Instead of rushing into Week Two, I concentrated on a bulletproof in-game screen system that will safely support the remaster.

And — my personal joy — I’ve added Laura’s Diary. It enables players to review recent events and, more importantly, to see them through Laura’s perspective — her thoughts, her doubts, her small moments of self-deception.

Next week: back to remastering the Week Two story. Hopefully, no more battles with prehistoric software. For real! I used to enjoy Daz3d so much. But now I am considering finding alternatives.

Thank you for accompanying me on this journey, and I wish you a productive week!
