Hey guys!

I wanted to take a moment and update you on what’s been going on.

Quick recap from my last post: I mentioned that the upcoming version is really challenging, not because I don’t know what I want to do, but because I wasn’t sure how to set it up. I was debating whether to try a free roam style for the first time, or keep going with the structure I’ve been using so far. I also read all the comments you left, and thanks for the feedback! It really helped me get a general feel for what most of you think.

The good news is that I now have a solid setup for how it’s going to work. From the little testing I’ve done so far, it feels really fun, and I hope you’ll feel the same once you play it.

I’m not going to explain exactly how it works just yet, mostly because I don’t think I can describe it properly in words without making it sound confusing. I’d rather you experience it in-game.

Creating new things is always exciting and stressful. Sure, I could keep doing the same thing over and over, but at least for me, I like bringing something new into each update and experimenting with new ideas.

That brings me to the next subject.

Over the past week, you’ve probably seen that I uploaded some AI animation tests on Discord (in a dedicated channel). A few people asked if I’m planning on integrating AI into the game, so I wanted to clear things up here.

I know AI is a controversial topic. Some people like it, some people hate it.

As of right now, the game stays exactly as it is. I’m still doing the animations manually in Daz, just like I always have.

So why did I spend time learning AI animation stuff at all? Because the world is changing fast. More and more people are using AI tools, and I didn’t want to be left behind.

And if I’m being totally honest with you, I thought we were still a couple years away from AI being able to handle animations properly. But after playing with it for a week, it feels like we might be a lot closer than I expected.

I’m only testing it on the side, not replacing my workflow or the style of the game.

That’s it for now!

Cheers 🍻TTrick

There is my queen. So beautiful.

No I am begging you to not use AI, this is exactly the opportunity to stand out among the slop that's releasing, i've seen them all and the animations are blurry/distasteful, they take me out of the scene. Handcrafted work will always be superior, your Quality is among the top and I would hate to see it not being utilized to its full potential, which you will lose using AI.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you using for the AI animations? I've been experimenting myself as well.

DM me on discord I'll be happy to share everything I learned. I don't want to talk too much about that here in the comments :)

Thanks for being so damn transparent no joke it's rare nowadays

new to the game and its a great game. my only critic is the MC doesn't get angry or bothered, for instance ANN seeing chris without him knowing, yes you allow him to ask for number but not to be played by her. thats it otherwise perfect. AI im not bothered, if done correctly its great.

As much as people don't want to support Ai... its cumming. People can kick and scream but Ai is here. And the Ai stuff you and the community have created are some amazing stuff.

I'm always hesitant with AI. I get the appeal and for things like animation, it does speed up production, but i also think it's kinda hit and miss with the outcomes which i don't always think is worth the moral cost for me personally. I also find that most people who use AI in AVN games tend to use them for animations that no one cares about (like lots of walking animations, or like scenes of FMC moving a little bit during conversation) as they get addicted to the speed of their production. I also tend to find it distracting as you get some weird moments like faces changing to merge with the reference scene, or clothes reappearing/being taken off in unrealistic ways. But i do understand the benefits too and i trust you to do them well as i've seen the few tests you've done. They look good and i do think the best use of AI is for short sub 5 second non complex vids. Would be good for stuff like maybe girls sending the MC short teasing vids via DM/messenger and stuff and short loops.

Just like thanos AI is inevitable. In my opinion it’s a tool to be used, so use it. Just make sure the quality is good and no real problems.

TTrickGames

Thanks for the feedback, as always Alex! I agree with the issues AI has right now and that's why I don't use it in-game, however, the AI is improving so fast, I believe everything will be solved very soon

TTrickGames

Yeah, I can understand what you are saying. The game has many paths and parameters, and sometimes, if something happens, it's too complex to check "the state" of the MC, and if he should get mad or turned on by something, so I try to keep it natural. But it's a valid point, I'll try to improve on that.

kett Kett

amazing. i really do like the game, i have replayed many times different paths etc. one thing i do notice is that things like when you let the two fellas join in the hotel and allow one to sleep on bed, but you tell ann to go sleep or MC be asleep, she doesn't do anything with the guy which is good, but then next thing you know she blowing him of in the car. doesn't make much sense especially if you haven't shared her at all. again if you take the couch its so out of character if you haven't shred her, there should be options to stop it when things start. same with the BJ to director, MC notices and plans to bring it up but never does, again very much out of character, cheating on MC without permission or no negative effect of her actions. im not moaning, like i said great game, but little things like this corrected would make a awesome. :)

Love the Artistic visuals and feel of the game so far, trying new things like AI can be complicated but I definitely feel working with AI instead of AI doing the job for you can go SUPER FAR.
