Added 2023-08-23 15:49:27 +0000 UTCClothing, clothing, clothing...
Hi, everyone. I have probably mentioned it before, but the clothes are DAZ Studio's bane. The character figures for the most part work well for any pose that's not too extreme. But the clothing items rarely do. And even more so when you combine clothing items from different sets. And the problem is that it's impossible to say which item is made well, and which will start falling apart on even a simple pose. Some authors are better than others, but even in a single author's work the quality in that department varies.
So I usually choose an outfit, and then try a few poses to see what happens. And depending on how bad the situation is, I can decide to change items from it. Sometimes though an issue sneaks up on you and you see it when the work on the events have already started. This is what happened with Jessica's blazer in this update. I had already made dozens of renders with the outfit, when I noticed a weird issue with the edge of the blazer. It just doesn't smooth out, no matter how much you subdivide, the edge basically acts as if it's low res. For those of you who don't know what that is - A 3D object is made of polygons, the more polygons you have the smoother the surface looks. And the way you add more is by dividing the existing ones. Like this:
The issues was not big, but it does make this jagged edge (like you can see in the first image). And sometimes it would even create a bad clipping with the other clothes (the second image). And it's in a very crucial area, I think you would agree :P
So I had to find a workaround. I won't bore you with the details, but it wasn't something complex. I had to re-render some images, and it did add an annoying extra step in the workflow for each image where Jess is wearing the blazer. But I like how it looks, so I'll probably use it in again the future, however annoying it may be.
Anyway, just thought I should share an interesting tidbit from the work process.
I'm working on the last scene at the moment. It's been a little more complicated than I thought. Not technically, but creatively. I was struggling to find the right approach to what I want to happen in it. I definitely won't make it by the end of the month, so the release of the update will happen in the beginning of September. I'll let you know when all the images are ready, after that I will need a week to finish the writing with Amanda and test it.
Have fun, and thanks for the support.

Early for him means 29-30.09 … somewhere there :) … of course he does not give a fuck about our jokes here … he is absorbed by his art …
Robert
2023-09-18 19:47:03 +0000 UTCis there any news on the new update? you said early September... where are you at? give us news..
ivano rossi
2023-09-18 10:56:52 +0000 UTCWhat we can do ? Nothin …
Robert
2023-09-17 20:22:46 +0000 UTCand a petulant one at that
Eric wade
2023-09-15 17:33:00 +0000 UTCStoper … you and LP are the best visual novel creators out there …. everybody wants a scene between Jessica and Sophia from AWAM … please talk with the guy and share some experience and make dreams real … it would be the shit :))
Robert
2023-09-15 16:58:12 +0000 UTCWell, the good side of L&P is that there is a Progress Bar of the game development. I think maybe you could set one.
superwingz
2023-09-15 12:11:58 +0000 UTCYour work is amazing. I'm sure if you update often. I believe everyone is ready to fully support your work. Many people are still waiting for your update. Hope to hear good news soon. Keep fighting.
MAGALOG
2023-09-15 11:59:30 +0000 UTCAnd there is another one that the earth is flat! I don't know how old is Stoper, but L&P is under 18 years of age (or at least acts like a teenager).
Jozef
2023-09-15 10:26:14 +0000 UTCMy god, what an insult :)
stoperArt
2023-09-15 05:46:53 +0000 UTCThere is a theory on f95 that stoperArt is the same with Lust&Passion … what do you all think ?
Robert
2023-09-15 05:08:20 +0000 UTCHere stoperArt is right about repeating and language. Who does not like the game/developer progress may exit this circle of patrons … I like stoperArt work … the pace of releasing update I agree is not satisfactory but we are grown ups … we have to make decisions in life … stoperArt is not stealing money from our pocket … we are giving our money to him as a form of reward to his erotic novelist skills and graphics … stoperArt why don’t you release this god damn update once for all and stop this mess ??
Robert
2023-09-13 09:35:36 +0000 UTCStop with this crap or I will indeed ban you. There are plenty of your messages that "outline the situation" above. I'm deleting your spam where you keep repeating the same shit and insult people, who then start insulting you, and the comment section becomes a mess.
stoperArt
2023-09-13 06:26:31 +0000 UTCRobert, there were messages here that outlined the situation, but our dear Stopper deleted them, it is not profitable for him to have someone tell the truth about his lies and unwillingness to release updates normally. He likes to get money by cheating and and updates once a year)))
Gul Gun
2023-09-13 06:19:20 +0000 UTCWho is the guy you are talking about ?
Robert
2023-09-12 16:28:22 +0000 UTCYep. It's definitely the same loner. Sad really. Can't imagine what a tedious, nothing of a life leaves someone with the time to troll a person they are giving money to
PixelFlynt
2023-09-11 05:20:40 +0000 UTCI've banned one guy in these years and I think it was another account of this dude. He was acting the same way - a first time $1 patron, close to release, spamming the comment section like crazy, and getting progresively angrier.
stoperArt
2023-09-10 13:15:14 +0000 UTCIt never ceases to amuse me how one solo troll thinks that he speaks for all the other patrons. Some people just need the little things to feel important in their lives I guess.
PixelFlynt
2023-09-10 13:09:00 +0000 UTCHe will delete) he always removes the truth that is revealed about his lies.
Gul Gun
2023-09-10 11:24:11 +0000 UTCBullshit is your fiction about the disease for half a year, Jessica's closet and nonsense about clothes.
Gul Gun
2023-09-10 11:22:05 +0000 UTCBetter let him stop the game and stop stealing money.
Gul Gun
2023-09-10 10:32:42 +0000 UTCStoper can you please delete those dogshit comments that shit on you and have nothing constructive to say? It is becoming unbearable in here with these morons.
Karel Lopata
2023-09-10 08:57:46 +0000 UTCPiss off you moron.
Karel Lopata
2023-09-10 08:53:46 +0000 UTCJust fuck off already, nobody here wants to read your dogshit comments. You have no idea what you are talking about. You know nothing about development. Just fuck off.
Karel Lopata
2023-09-10 08:53:14 +0000 UTCStop with this bullshit. Clothes have always been an issue, this here was just an example. And you are commenting here because you are a patron, doesn't that make you one of the "gullible people who support me"?
stoperArt
2023-09-10 08:49:12 +0000 UTCLI TAO absolutely right. The stopper knows that gullible naive people will still support him. Therefore, he is not in a hurry with updates. No need to strain too much, the money goes just like that. Then he's been sick for half a year, then he couldn't figure out Jessica's closet, then now her clothes don't suit him. Previously, everything was fine with clothes, and now DAZ suddenly stopped sewing high-quality clothes))) And so many naive people still believe in it!)))
Gul Gun
2023-09-10 07:58:14 +0000 UTCWhat do you want is the question? I like the game, is my favourite one and I wouldn't risk to kill it. You never understood that the pleasure is in the journey itself!
Jozef
2023-09-09 18:43:09 +0000 UTC从之前的情况可以看出他的更新是一年一次，所以最好的办法就是，这次更新结束后，大家停止在支持他，我相信他的工作自己就快了，不信可以试试，当没人在支持他的时候，他才会感觉到压力，否则会一直感觉有一群人在无私的奉献，轻轻松松的收一堆钱，工作想做就做点

2023-09-09 17:27:38 +0000 UTCMy friends what do you expect from stoperArt ? To say : look guys I am taking your money and doing nothin’ … all patreons should cancel their membership and this will trigger stoperArt to do something … he has 2 options : stop the game or continue it … simple as that

2023-09-09 09:44:27 +0000 UTCEric wade, you also misunderstood. Read the comment above.
Gul Gun
2023-09-08 20:03:11 +0000 UTCsuperwingz, I'm afraid you misunderstood me. I don't want the kind of game you're talking about. The events I have described above should happen to Jessica gradually. But due to the slow pace of the Stopper (1 update per year), the gradual gradual corruption of Jessica will take many years. And clothes are not the reason, because everything used to be fine with clothes. Why is clothing suddenly a problem now? But that's not what I'm talking about right now. You misunderstood me, I hope I conveyed my idea to you.
Gul Gun
2023-09-08 20:01:47 +0000 UTCif you think this is slow, try supporting L&P "A Wife and Mother".
Eric wade
2023-09-08 17:53:19 +0000 UTCThat's the beauty of it! Why don't you creat a game that everybody fucks everybody at first sight. Let's see how many people wants to play that.
superwingz
2023-09-08 17:12:44 +0000 UTCGodspeed stoperArt
Robert
2023-09-08 07:15:21 +0000 UTCYes you are right about that. Totally right.
Jirina
2023-09-07 20:40:51 +0000 UTCFunny, I was expecting a similar answer. It's just not about the money. Okay, forget about it. I suddenly had just one interesting thought. If there is one update per year, then Mr. Parker, at best, will finally fuck Jessica only in a year, which I very much doubt. And now just imagine, after how many years she will finally be fucked by Christian, David, Tommy and other very different men besides this moron Connor, who has already got it!))) Is it after how many updates (AFTER HOW MANY YEARS!) interesting content will start? :-) Am I thinking right?
Gul Gun
2023-09-07 19:05:29 +0000 UTCGood job stoperArt … art requires time … at least we will Jess fucked in the asshole by the Mayor ??
Robert
2023-09-07 17:17:24 +0000 UTCWhy are you giving me money then? If you think I'm just lazing around and enjoying "the easy money out of thin air", why are you part of it? I can refund you your $1 whenever you say. And feel free to show us some of your work. I would love to learn from someone, who has no issues with clothes in DAZ Studio.
stoperArt
2023-09-07 15:58:21 +0000 UTCOkey, let's see when the update comes out. We'll wait. But it won't be released this month either. Something will go wrong again, as always. And the update will definitely be small.
Gul Gun
2023-09-07 15:56:28 +0000 UTCYes, now I see thanks to whom the respected Stopper does not want to work more actively and does not strain. As long as there are people like you, he doesn't have to work hard. He can make one image per day, 365 renderings per year and bingo - easy money out of thin air! :-) Unlike you, I know the DAZ Studio program inside and out. And not only this program. Therefore, I can say with certainty that the problem with clothes is not true. I don't want to offend anyone, I'm just saying what really is.
Gul Gun
2023-09-07 15:53:21 +0000 UTCDude creation work is something you can't work on a normal schedule. Just do something else while you waiting for update. Be patient.
superwingz
2023-09-07 14:43:52 +0000 UTCIn terms of speed, October......
Ruhamuo
2023-09-07 12:30:07 +0000 UTCIt's just not speed. It's more like not wanting to work on a normal schedule. You get paid anyway, so you don't strain yourself. Why did your updates come out faster before, but now they don't? Before, everything was fine with clothes, now suddenly something happened to DAZ? I know this program well, there are no global problems with clothes. All problems can be fixed by DeForce. And it doesn't take a year of time. Just be honest with us. Then you are constantly sick, then you don't like the wardrobe (which is complete nonsense), then now the clothes are not like that. You just don't want to work normally. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.
Gul Gun
2023-09-07 10:47:12 +0000 UTCMy issue is with the word excuses. I'm not making excuses, I'm keeping you updated on the work and issues. The update speed is what it is for now.
stoperArt
2023-09-07 08:13:21 +0000 UTCWith all due respect, this is not the answer. Fans of your game do not expect this from you. We are waiting for the normal timely release of updates. Believe me, no one needs these meaningless microscopic details of clothing.
Gul Gun
2023-09-06 15:52:20 +0000 UTCIt's not excuses, it's just details of the workflow. I can stop giving "excuses" and not talk about the development, if you prefer it that way?
stoperArt
2023-09-06 13:03:37 +0000 UTCTired of waiting 🤦
Karl MY
2023-09-06 10:54:49 +0000 UTCAs far as I know, previous updates came out much faster. Then there were no problems with clothes? I have played the game several times. And everything is fine there. No one needs these microscopic details. Please, dear Stopper, stop doing nonsense and work faster. We all understand perfectly well that clothes are one of your many excuses to work slowly. I've been reading publications all night. You come up with new excuses every time. Please, we ask you very much, work faster!
Gul Gun
2023-09-06 10:39:30 +0000 UTCWell, yes. For every image I have to fix stuff. It's part of the work process.
stoperArt
2023-09-06 08:55:52 +0000 UTCI don't want to offend Stoper, but all this talk about clothes is just one of the many reasons to postpone the update. The last update was almost a year ago. In September, there will be another reason to postpone the update. We are waiting for a full year to pass)))
Gul Gun
2023-09-06 00:32:53 +0000 UTCHi! The last update was almost a year ago. Are you really solving the problem with clothes all this time?
Gul Gun
2023-09-06 00:15:29 +0000 UTCIf you do not have it who may reply to my question :)) ? anyway at least we some good news … I want to reward you Stoper for your tremenduos work but please help me to help you :)
Robert
2023-09-05 16:09:11 +0000 UTCI can't give you info that I myself don't have, Robert. The update is close, but I can't say exactly when it will be ready yet. I'll make a post with final details in a few days.
stoperArt
2023-09-05 15:27:49 +0000 UTCHey Stoper when is the due date for the update ??? We are paying you here for this info you know :) ?
Robert
2023-09-05 15:03:54 +0000 UTCthere is another developer which is worse than Stoper … his name is Lust&Passion … this guy delivers 1 small event in 4 months … 1 game day in 2 years
Robert
2023-09-03 14:06:42 +0000 UTCCome on guys, have some faith :)
superwingz
2023-09-03 06:07:33 +0000 UTCI guess a week later, stoper will say she want to add a new animation so the update will be delay
Su Shi
2023-09-01 18:32:43 +0000 UTC现在比较期待的是：9月初又会出来个理由，某个场景中有些问题，我正在努力的使他完美，所以这需要时间，然后又到10月，然后继续轻松地收着一群无私奉献者的钱，这钱挣得真6，大风刮来的钱，哈哈

2023-08-31 09:09:18 +0000 UTCIt is not out yet...
Jozef
2023-08-31 05:54:47 +0000 UTCit is out for higher tiers ?
Robert
2023-08-30 16:06:46 +0000 UTCIs the update out ?
Robert
2023-08-30 09:41:51 +0000 UTCHi, Piya. If you have your discord account connected here on Patreon you should get an automatic invite. I've seen some people joining recently, so it should be working. I'll check it out tomorrow morning and send you a manual invite if you can't figure it out.

2023-08-29 20:17:47 +0000 UTCAt first i was struggling to see what you meant, but once i managed to pry my eyes away from Jess's tits, ass and legs, i found it! As always, keep up the strong work. You're dedication to the small details always makes the difference. Glad to see you're still working with Amanda on the script. Her input is really important as i don't believe a female led narrative would work if it didn't have a women's input. I'm slowly working my way through her wasteland bombshell work in the meantime. I think i already asked about this before but any plans to do more images from the series, or was it a one off? I would love to see an image set of Jenny and Roggo!
MotiMan
2023-08-29 16:43:15 +0000 UTCHey how can I find the discord link

Robert
2023-08-24 11:19:33 +0000 UTCHmmmm, this is a Jessica's home desk. Maybe she is chatting with her sister. I hope that she will be involved in evening event somehow...
Jozef
2023-08-24 08:59:29 +0000 UTCActually I agree with you. It's the detail that makes this game so different.
superwingz
2023-08-24 03:27:58 +0000 UTCi can wait for a friend I hope the update arrives. will see Jessica and Parker having sex.
MAGALOG
2023-08-24 03:24:01 +0000 UTCmate, you do incredible work but your attention to detail can be your biggest strength and your worst foe… you are one of the best in the industry but the slow down and these small nitpicks stop me from investing more in your projects. 99% people don’t see the difference in the image you posted;))
gicashut
2023-08-23 18:10:08 +0000 UTCEveryone gets easily distracted by Jessica s boobs, I honestly don't know how you make any progress with the game when you've got those beautiful things in front of you:)
