Hey Supporters, 

We're reaching the end here. I've split Charmed again with the final scene being burst for that ginormous clothing store event. kicker, onthemend, and starstruck will take very little time. So mostly I just need to do burst and then we're all done.

After I finish the last scene, however, I'll have to go back and add some features which will take a day or two. We're look at about two weeks until completion, and then it'll be off to Beta testing.

This was a weird update because things that I didn't think should take long, took forever! We'll be spending most of the time in this update in the clothing store and all those mannequins are actual Gen 8 models. Loading the scenes was extremely taxing on my computer. I won't be doing that again!

The alt path where it's just you and Bliss is about 1/3rd as long as the scene with Nixie. That'll be about my goal. The scenes without Nixie will be about a third the length because the cannon path is the full harem experience. 

Again, about two weeks until release. burst is an important scene so I'm going to take some time on it. Then the other scenes will be real quick. Sorry for the long dev time on this one. It's been a hell of a few months. Icing on the cake was my Daz decided to stop connecting to the server, so the main way I load in assets is just non-functional now. Problems, problems. Always more problems. 

Despite the issues, this is going to be a great release. You guys are gonna love it. We're real close!

Thanks for all your support, and farewell for now.

Keep up the good work. And I wouldn't worry about how long it's taking with updates. You're doing much better than some devs out there that have been working on a project for years that doesn't have the art style you do and it takes months on months for even small updates

I agree. I am hard on myself about update times. I hold myself to a high standard. I don't want you guys to have to wait too long, and I'm also eager to show you all what I have for you. Patience is a hard virtue to adopt for me. Haha.

A great update speaks for itself! I'm really looking forward to this next rev, especially time with Bliss and Nixie (plus Suzie insights :)!

Take the time and make yourself happy with it first. You won't be happy if you don't. Waiting a few weeks or months as with others is no big deal when the game/update is this good. I would kill for a phone assistant like Suzi, but then the wife would kill me for always talking with my phone.

A hint about DAZ Studio if you haven't heard it. You can hide parts of your mannequins under the clothes. The hidden parts aren't considered for rendering/geometry.

Ahaha. Yeah, the next generation might night even try to date or marry. They'll just get themselves a Suzi bot who can provide everything they could ever desire. Freaky thought, right?

That's a good tip. I do that sometimes to mitigate poke-through on the characters. The rendering time isn't the issue though, it's the morphs that cause incredible loading times. I have a solution to this issue but I haven't implemented it yet. I always say that Daz is 50% learning how to use the program, and 50% knowing how to fix issues with it.

Mr. Cranky

I haven't found a solution to morph loading time beyond just uninstalling morph packages I don't use or have a duplication to other packages. Always looking for something less tedious or brute force.

It's already here, look at some of the stuff out of Japan.
