Possible new Candy

Time for a short update on things. As I already told you, I'm remaking some of the early pictures in v0.10. Specifically, Candy's scenes. Well, as it turns out, she's actually gone. In the most literal sense. I can't find her model anywhere. And there's only one solution for that: make a different model for her. Which is what you see right now. Granted, this is a concept, I still have to choose makeup for her (it should be something trashy), but she's using same clothes and textures as the old one. I should be able to make about 20 updated pictures, and a shitton of sprites. These are the first images you see in the game, and it's a shame that they're so ugly.

She was and wasn't. Basically, your writing is the glue for all your characters, so don't rely on DAZ to make or break your characters. If you want an older character to feature in your story, just do it. Use particle effects or anything you think would make it work to bring them into the scene. Obviously you have your determined arc for Candy, but keep it in mind for others. Also, just a reminder... you're good at this! :) Seriously - you are.

2020-10-22 08:11:25 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, Candy was killed somewhere after Mack's downfall, so no future for her. She, however, had plenty of past. Part of this is actually a technical thing. Without bothering you with the details, almost all of my character models use the Genesis 8 base, while Candy and Forthwall are Genesis 3 — because I haven't planned on keeping them around for too long. This means I can't really mesh them that well with Gen8 stuff, and they look noticeably less detailed when compared to most Gen8 models. Basically, Candy was killed by the technology.

2020-10-22 07:19:21 +0000 UTCI still don't think the first chapter is seriously flawed or ugly, but... Okay, go ahead and redo it. If this is the quality of render you're going to use, I'm all for it. :D I'll also add my vote for reintroducing Candy somewhere along the line. You wrote her judiciously enough to simply graft a survivor trait into her, so if she reappears, it definitely won't hurt the story if you have her cross paths with Blake for a scene or two.

2020-10-22 04:44:18 +0000 UTCThank you :) In v0.10 bimbo Blake will be able to mention Candy in one of the dialogues, and how it made her feel back in the day. Basically explore the idea of «I thought I want to ride that bicycle, but actually I wanted to be the bicycle myself», something like that. So, yeah, we might see her again at some point in a flashback.
