I was referring to the tight skirt in the teaser. Cloth simulation wouldn’t make a lot of sense for the tight fit and that pose. For looser fitting garments, sure.

And, to be fair, diffeomorphic is a bit complicated, or at least, involves a lot of meticulous steps.
Right, but for a tight skirt we can use other modifiers, like deform. Select part of the skirt and treat it like a surface and a selected edge as a pivot.

Have you played the game? The main action of the plot takes place as a result of blackmail.
We will not engage in moralizing, this is just a game and the main character is a set of pixels, but it is better to see once than hear 100 times, it is better to touch once than to see 100 times, and it is better to think 100 times before saying something like that ...
Then one of the active participants answered me that the main heroine has a great selfish beginning, since she puts her life at such a risk, indulging in Aiden's blackmail. So far, all her actions are explained by the author from the point of view of absolute altruism, stupidity and lack of will. Let's not take offense at each other because of such trifles as program code, and it doesn't depend on us what this set of pixels will do.
The main plot of the story isn't blackmail. I play the game fine telling both Aiden and Bennett to fuck off right from Sophia's first opportunity.

The main plot of Dylan's route is blackmail, sure, but you don't need to play his route. I play Ellie and Patricia's routes completely without any blackmail whatsoever

For now the blackmail is needed to play the Dylan route but it's not the main theme,I told Bennett fuck off and I'm telling Aiden when I get the option.

It's going to be interesting to see if Aiden's popularity changes after this task and the Morello event, with Aiden's tasks being optional even for the Sophia/Dylan route

Yes, all workable approaches. Now let’s pivot back to our Dev: does he have any clue what any of these terms mean in the context of Blender?

What do you think, how much more versatile a person who is humiliated and coerced to become unnatural (for him) actions becomes. If he starts to like it, this is the loss of oneself and the forcible replacement of the original personality with an unnatural one. A very similar result after training animals in a circus.
She's selective about what she likes & fortunately has been able to find some enjoyment, or liberation in the tasks. Animals in a circus are trained with whips, electric prods, chains & prohibition of any natural behaviour, along with the overall cruelty of keeping them captive in the first place. There's not much chance of seeing that level of BDSM in AWAM, I would guess & trust. It's not erotic. Sophia will survive. I've said many times that a good woman being coerced to do things against her nature can lead to the preservation of that essential persona. IMO, it's not the same as someone willingly joining in the corruption, or instigating it, as with so many games.

My point was also about incest & its' effect on the perpetrators & the everyday family dynamic. We hardly ever hear any anguish expressed on the thread about the subject & even though I have strong views, I won't moralise. I won't, because as a follower of the blackmail, I'm in no position to do this & wouldn't anyway because we generally know what a corruption game will include when we start playing. After each incest-based event, or picture, you won't hear whatever the anti-incest equivalent of 'white knighting' is called, not from me anyway. I don't wring my hands & bemoan the fact of another good family destroyed in the interests of a moment of sexual pleasure.

Blackmail is a standard element of corruption games & of course it takes a sexual path. Incest is common but is rather more optional. I can't know for certain but I believe that at least one of the reasons why the Bennett route was curtailed was because of the outrage his behaviour caused amongst vocal fans, who were then no doubt disappointed to have evil Aiden arrive on the scene. L&P has or will provide 2 get out options for this route, which I applaud but do not intend to take. Fans, whether they dislike the incest, or the blackmail, need have few worries, because at the rate we're going neither path is likely to reach a conclusion which upsets them unduly.

I think most characters become more popular the further they get with Sophia just because something is happening, I feel like most people pay more attention to a certian character after they have had an event after the third task Aiden's popularity skyrocketed on the polls I think he even suppased Patrica if I'm not mistaken which seems insane to me but kinda proves the point since she hardly ever has events.

"Well, I fianlly managed to convert my character to G8 and it looks pretty good. The eyelashes issue is gone. Only the genitalia is still there. But I think my helper in Blender will edit this matter. The eyelashes were a bigger problem." L&P

So, does he have a helper now? Or is he referring to a future helper?

Still it seems that it's for extra work (some stuff that he didn't do before) and it will not increase the current speed. We will see.

I don't think this was ever intended to increase the speed but more as way to find solutions to the certain limitations of Daz.
He is bothered by a few things even now in terms of the art. One thing is clothing which has already been discussed here.

The fact that he still wants to improve atleast shows that he is still interested in what he is doing.
Though personally I really wish he could increase the speed and just deliver the product at short intervals.

Helper is an interesting term. Is this a common reference to an employee/associate in Germany? I am of the thought he used this term to imply he has an associate. However it is not a fact. Is this really the guy teaching him the blender techniques? Will we see a credit added to the cover page?

I don’t think it’s out of line to claim he’s lost interest in his story.

( Part of the problem being he doesn’t have A story, he’s got several stories each with their own variants. Way too complicated for a first project, imho. )

The helper is the "special developer" he mentioned in his patreon posts.

If he is porting to Blender just for clothing, that doesn't make sense. He could just do that in marvelous designer, which is made for clothing, and export back to daz.

So the only thing that makes sense is he is exporting the models to blender, so the "special developer" aka "helper" can make animations for him. That would also explain why he got a 2nd PC, you don't need 2 PC's for clothing simulations.

If it's going to be animations for AWAM I'd be interested in hearing why people think they add to the story & what exactly it is they add that couldn't be envisaged in the imagination. I'm talking specifically about erotic & porn games, not fantasy or tech wars. Across F95 complaints about lack of animations, or those judged to be of poor quality are heard. Surely we have the "motion pictures" & "talkies" for that kind of entertainment & we've had moving pictures since the '80s, the 1880s that is.

Many animations consist of BJs, (or trying to swallow a log & nearly choking, as it's often portrayed) & the usual bump & grind. See one or two & you've seen them all. They're sometimes extremely clever but they're not in the same league as an actual film. What are they really for in a game which is more of a VN? Are they meant to be fap material? Aren't they just nice to have for those who like them but not exactly essential?

Before anybody comments on the lines of 'it's L&P's game & he does what he does OK?', let's just take the above as genuine questions & also take it as read that I know whose game it is. I am really wanting to hear thoughts on this & not necessarily in the "animations will be awesome," category but why someone might think they'd be awesome.
