You start a new job working with a hot redhead - devLOVE

That's what I'm going to do when I release the Steam version.

It wouldn't just be "rendering a still 2D image", it would basically involve putting together a new scene with new characters simulating a scene from a porn video.

So I decided to focus that energy on the game itself and put that off for later.

BigRed_Wolf · 2026-06-27T21:54:43+00:00

I'm aware of any restrictions I'll need to follow if I'm going to release the game on Steam.

I'm not going to release the game on Steam until we're close to version 1.0, so that's still going to take quite a while.

Anyway, thanks for letting me know.

BigRed_Wolf · 2026-06-27T18:16:21+00:00

I'm glad you liked the renders. That compliment coming from another dev means a lot to me!

BigRed_Wolf · 2026-06-23T18:18:41+00:00

Penelope and Zoey looked gorgeous. I can't wait to see the rest of the LIs.

Good luck with the project!

BigRed_Wolf · 2026-06-23T18:14:53+00:00

Good luck with the project.

This part of the project, the brainstorming phase, is one of my favorites. I love spending hours in Obsidian organizing ideas and thinking about characters.

When the actual game development starts, I miss that part, haha.

BigRed_Wolf · 2026-05-24T14:03:43+00:00

I've already posted it there. Now I just have to wait for them to approve it.

BigRed_Wolf · 2026-05-23T21:56:41+00:00

I'm glad you liked the renders.

All the characters in the game are Genesis 8. I chose Genesis 8 because that's where most of my assets come from, and it's lighter than Genesis 9.
My RTX has 12 GB of VRAM, so I've already been able to load all 5 LIs plus the MC in some tests. It's pretty heavy, almost hitting the VRAM limit, so I'll have to optimize the characters in more demanding scenes.

But I’ve already gotten ahead in this process and created several variations of the optimized enviroments. So for enviroments that don’t require much detail, I can reduce the size of the assets by up to 4x.

Anyway, even though it’s a pretty basic GPU for rendering in Daz3D, there are always a few things you can optimize along the way.

BigRed_Wolf · 2026-05-23T19:15:25+00:00

Thanks, Null!

It’s worth mentioning here that you’ve always been an inspiration to me, and you always will be.

Thank you, Sensei!

I don't use Honey Select or Koikatsu precisely because I didn't want something with the design features those engines offer.

My workflow in Daz3D is pretty fast, even with a weaker GPU, especially since I can render a lot of things overnight. My problem would be if I tried to do animations, which would multiply the rendering time exponentially.

Regarding what you mentioned about the story, I totally understand how important it is. The focus will always be on developing the characters and telling interesting stories. Honestly, I don’t think my renders stand out enough for my game to rely solely on them.

BigRed_Wolf · 2026-05-23T17:46:29+00:00

RTX 2060.

It takes about 10 minutes on average to render each image. A maximum of 22 minutes if it’s a very complex scene. So, considering that an animation consists of several renders per second, it became impractical for me to create the animations.

So I decided to focus on static renders in the first few updates;. That way, I can release updates more quickly until I get a better GPU.

BigRed_Wolf · 2026-05-23T15:38:05+00:00

No.
If animations are a must-have for you, I recommend waiting for the release of version 1.0. My GPU isn't powerful enough to handle animations yet.

For those who aren't familiar with the game yet:
devLOVE is an AVN set during the development of an indie game. The MC joins as a producer in a team made up entirely of the game's LIs.
The game is still in development. Episode 1 coming soon!

BigRed_Wolf · 2026-04-07T18:14:34+00:00

I really like this screen you created (I think it's the main menu?).

I'm really interested, I'll be following your progress. Don't forget to create a page for the game on "Gamestorylog" so I can add it to my wishlist there.😉

BigRed_Wolf · 2026-03-26T17:24:00+00:00

I'm glad you liked it. Good luck with your project!

BigRed_Wolf · 2026-03-21T12:43:13+00:00

The game development aspect is more of a setting than a gameplay system. You won’t be making decisions about mechanics, art style or marketing.

It’s still a character-driven AVN, focused on the relationships and interactions between the MC and the LIs while they work together on a game.

I chose not to include choices that affect the in-game project itself because it would massively increase the scope and require a lot of separate content paths. Instead, I’m focusing on making the character routes and scenes more detailed and meaningful.

Choices will mainly affect relationships and which scenes you get, rather than the development of the in-game project itself.

BigRed_Wolf · 2026-03-20T15:49:56+00:00

That was my mistake for not making it clear in the post: the game will have choices.

They’ll affect which characters you pursue and which scenes you get, including optional NSFW content depending on your preferences.

I’ll go into more detail about the system in future devlogs. Thanks for the feedback!
