Hey everyone!

I have sensed a great disturbance in the Force as if millions of people were returning to their offices at the same time as several massive, highly anticipated video games are released within the span of a week. With these pesky distractions around me, how can I prevail in my development of LLtP? Lend me your strength so that I may survive this onslaught of Covid and video games. 

Seriously though, these past two weeks have seen me returning to the office for my day job, which comes with its own particular set of challenges. Not only does it disturb my daily routines, forcing me back into old ones, but it also means that I'm practically guaranteed to get Covid within the new few weeks. I've got the booster shot so that I shouldn't get hit too hard, but it can be unpredictable. All of this has made it tricky to fully immerse myself in my work on LLtP like I might usually have done. In addition, the aforementioned video games are a huge temptation that I will have to (partly) resist to focus on development. I'm going to try to find a happy balance. The game is perfectly on schedule for a release of 0.40 in April, so there's nothing to worry about there.

At the moment, I have finished the renders that will replace the existing ones in Nell's tower scene. It looks a lot better now, but limitations in Nell's character model mean that it will never be entirely at the visual heights of other scenes in the game. I have said this before, but Nell's 3D model is a nightmare to work with. To finally put her behind me after this update will be a relief, to be perfectly honest. I didn't know what I was doing when I first built that model, and I've been suffering for it ever since.

My plan for the upcoming week is to start rebuilding the sex scenes in the tower. I'm probably going to take a different approach to them now that I have a more suitable environment to pose the characters in, so the positions and camera angles will likely be different from what we had before. And that's good because Nell's sex scenes are among the game's worst at the moment.

And that's it for now. It's Saturday evening here, so I will spend the rest of today playing one of the video games mentioned above (Horizon: Forbidden West for those wondering), then begin work on the animations tomorrow.

Until next time!

Lmao great update....also hope you stay covid free

You're reading it right, if you're in the office you're gonna get Omicron eventually..... it's kinda like at this point people are saying screw it, take your beating and let's just get through it like a regular flu. If you're boosted it's basically just an annoying, long-lasting cold with some odd bonus features (the smell thing, maybe shortness of breath for 2-3 weeks). Good luck! Which vidya games are you psyched about in particular? I'm always curious about what games are liked by people who themselves create good games. Speaking of Nell and improving her bowchickawowow situation, what's the endgame with respect to the affluent gal who walks in on the sneaky bedroom fun with Nell? (I am not current, so forgive me if that was addressed in a previous version already.)

You'll see how that bedroom scene turns out in the upcoming update. That's the scene I'm making last, so I haven't put all that much thought into it yet. I'm probably excited about the same games as everyone else, plus I was blindsided by one that I had put aside for a while. Started playing Horizon: Forbidden West yesterday and will likely play Elden Ring once I am done. Additionally, I want to play Cyberpunk 2077 again now that the big patch is out. As a long-term gaming project, I'm also wrapping up all the Science Adventure games, which is relevant to my game development because I take a lot of inspiration from them, particularly for my next game.

We can wait. Just be careful and make sure you protect yourself. You're health and safety come first.

Regarding the problems you experienced with Nell, is there any advice you would give other people using Daz Studio to recognize these kinds of issues early? Did you find a fix, or have you just been working around the problem?

I can't give a point-by-point explanation for this. There are too many factors involved, and they changed. Basically though, try to avoid the older Genesis models (3 and below), and make sure that whatever hairstyle you pick has plenty of movement options. Do test renders in various poses and lighting conditions.
