I liked your first picture way more.
This looks like plastic/silicone/rubber/wax.... I don't know. Just unnatural.

Hi folks,
not much time this week, I had to prepare for an exam. And with Big Brother weekend coming up, I won't be able to lure my buddy into the basement to render more stuff.
So I take some time to review some things and share some thoughts.
With our models we are able to avoid well known stuff so far. As for the rooms, I sadly have to give up this intention. There is simply not enough stuff around to choose from. So at least we can put some effort into being different in details.
Let's take an example from the prologue. A yawning Lisa is going to leave her room to explore the source of weird noises.
The room itself is well known from many games. The sofa instead of the second bed is also familiar. The closed curtain is a standard procedure to avoid any sky or background. So, what else could we do? Maybe we should
- remove the fridge (or do you have a fridge in your bedroom at home?)
- remove the microwave (same reason)
- turn off the lamp at the desk (you don't need it at night)
- close the laptop at night (she's not a boy...)
This picture also shows where we really suck so far. The discussion at "Parental Love" totally slapped my face. The facial expressions are much more important than I thought. I will consider this in the next ones.
BTW, this site is so much more than a pirate site. Even as a developer-to-be you really get someting out of here. Thanks for this.

Well.. it's similar to some college dorms. They frequently put fridges, microwaves and lamps in the dorms. I had all of those plus a metal ceiling from my beer bottle caps. 
The bed is built that tall for storage and for putting on top of the desk like mine was. I had my bed on top of my desk and a ladder went up from the side. I would often throw my ex-gf up there and join her. I even rigged some lights and pulley system on my bed.

Hi guys,
so much to tell, so little time.
We finally found our mother ... err ... the model for mother Vera in my story.
It was terrible to select a non-Victoria/non-Olympia/non-Bethany whom you believe to be about 45 and who is still hot. But we made it and I hope you like her.
Now, with hair and skin selected, it's about time to do some tests with our girls. There we got a few surprises. Scaling became an issue at once (it's not perfect in this week's picture). And, more important:
if (hair==long) and (cupsize>small) then gravity_sucks();
We'll have to deal with it somehow.
So, for Ronin

Exactly, this room was originally intended as a college dorm. But in my VN (and most other games I saw the room) it's used as a girl's bedroom. So why a fridge and a microwave? It's just a click and they're gone. My point was to show what I intend to make different (laptop...light...fridge..., in one word: details)
Let's hope we don't suck.

Hello folks,
bad luck, I got sick in mid-December, missed two exams and totally screwed up with my project.
But in the meantime, at least my supporting friend was busy and did some experiments with some Mickys-to-be.
The one young man I liked the most I will share here with you.
Well, how will we keep going now. To get really started with a release at all, we decided to cut down the inital demo. Instead of the complete prologue we will only include the first half of it. It's really annoying how many hours of rendering you have to spend for such a short timespan of gameplay. So I hope to release the first minutes in late january.
But now as promised the first meeting of my twins in a picture. Do you see some chemistry between them?

This game looks good, but cant find download link to try it out.. Can any1 provide the link plz
Well, looks like I have to explain some things although it's not easy for me.
The game is not abandoned, it should be considered on hold now, but not due to Patreon, the reason is much worse.
Maybe you remember I teamed up with an old friend of mine to turn my story in a visual novel.
A few months ago a terrible accident happened where I got only a bit injured, but my friend is no longer with me now.
I intend to complete the thing we started and dedicate it to him, but it is too early for me.
I can't look at our work without getting back the memories.
Will need some time.
Sorry to disappoint you now guys, but fate decided against us.

Don't feel sorry, you've no reason for this.
I lost my wife few years ago, I can imagine what you're going through. I'll not lie to you, you'll never forget this, but it will be easier with the time going. Just take your times, and don't feel the need to rush to the game because of us ; start again only when you feel that you can handle it.
