Prototyping Results - Imaging Software

Just a couple of curiosity questions for you.. :) Any chance you would share the HS cards for the girls? And how did you do the pregnancy models.. preg mod or just photoshop work? I ask simply because of my own tinkering with the game and if I ever manage to add some things artwork related would be nice if the girls were accurate to the existing artwork.. since it seems youre about to wind up LR1 and head more into LR2...

That's the plan actually! I put out a patron post a few weeks ago with a .gif showing off the current setup.

The gameplay style in LR2 is going to be different enough that I don't think it's going to be a problem. I'll be putting some solid time playing around with Daz to try and replicate the old style and appearance, I agree that Honey Select had a good look.

Good, I was waiting for you to switch to something like Daz: it can look absolutely stunning, provided enough computational power and good models!

I wanted to congratulate you for your game. Excuse me for my English, I do not speak English very well as foreign. Your game is a super game with huge potential. However I think there could be many improvements. These are just proposals, I do not know if it's feasible. In any case I will highlight them: 1) Do you think it would be possible to integrate the protagonist so that there are real scenes of sex, why not also animations. 2) Would it be possible, for example, that after the training, the girls would not come with their old clothes but with very sexy clothes and that their words become more and more dirty. 3) Why not add a possibility to make them sex slaves ready for anything for the master with several choices. Example: 1. You become a bitch                  2. You are a sextoy,                  3. You're a real whore,                  4. You become a bimbo.                      Etc. etc.  Then the changes become noticeable depending on the choices. 4) Something that could be nice, would be to incorporate guilt,       especially in scenes with incest with the possibility of programming        info bubbles for example: 1. Why do I have new feelings like this with my son? 2. I should not do such things I do not understand? 3. My thoughts are blurred I do strange things with my brother? 4. Yesterday I almost did not know this boy today I'm in the process of     suck, why?     Etc. etc.   Then according to the advanced in the game the guilt disappears more and more,   for example : 1. I love my son taking me from behind, I'm a mother slut and I'm proud of myself. 2. I am a real bitch, I love it, I will always be naked and four shepherds in front of my master 3. My brother told me that I was a bimbo, I dress like a bimbo I think only of sex and I do not need to go to school because it is my brother who decides my life 4. My master asked me to be always ready for him, that's what I do since I'm his sextoy        5) Have the opportunity to meet new characters and create a harem.     With his mother his sister cousins ​​and other sisters, some speakers And create    a whole world of corrupt slaves.     Ect. ect Here are all these are ideas that I had in mind but that could be really nice in the improvement of this game which is already awesome! I can understand that it requires a lot of involvement, grants, computer knowledge and creation but if people can help you in all your steps then I'm sure that the game could become number 1 Congratulations on your game and I look forward to seeing improvements.

two thumbs up from me. The only problem I had with your game, was the graphics. The images did very little to set the scene, I would have liked to see background images for scenes like the coffee shop, meeting alexia on bus and stuff like that, also since you never saw the main character in any scene, Something Im hoping will change in the next game. I love your game, but Iv'e been playing around with replacing the graphics with my Daz characters. If you need some help working with daz studio, I might be able to help. I can tell you right now, your going to get into problems with skirts and dresses, they are often a pain to pose, and many do not come with any morphs other than for fitting. I for one am looking forward to see what you do next.

And there goes my excitement for the sequel. There are so few Honey Select games and here goes another one. I think DAZ, unlike HS, can look absolutely horrible and usually dips deep into the uncanney valley. Guess I have to look elsewhere for awesome HS models.

I'm sure you are already aware of this idea, but in case you are not, a paper-doll like technique would probably be a good idea for the project you've proposed. Basically in Daz Studio you would need to do some renders with your character model with a transparent skin, so you just get a render of the clothes. Also take a render of the nude model. Then in Ren'py you can layer these images using the Composite function. A same technique could also potentially be used for heads/hair, leaving you only needing to take seperate renders for things that would affect the shape of the mesh, like chest size.

Sounds like a good improvement. There is a lot of Daz stuff out there, and when done well it looks fantastic. I have the opposite opinion from Onan-- to me, a sequel is an ideal situation to up the quality of the visual assets.

I just wanna see some penetration in Labrats 2, however you manage to do that I'm fine with.

Also, the question of style. Most Daz3D stuff is very distinctive as being from Daz3D, and may be offputting for a direct sequel. instead of a new title entirely. I'll be sad to see the Honey Select style go, it always seemed warmer and fuzzier to me, I dunno.

I also support eromancer and he just switched from daz. It is apparently very proprietary and hard to import or export from. You may wish to look into it more.
