Short and Sweet (BTS #3) (Patreon)

Both BTS posts this month will be quick. I'm trying to maintain focus on the next release.

I needed background characters to fill in the scenery as MC travels through Integro. This couple was designed after the green woman seen in the previous progress update. I had only planned for two images but I saw more potential to expand on.

This render didn't turn out as I hoped. The hair doesn't fit well on the orc's head, which I hid with the camera angle. But now the map behind him was muddying the look of his hair.

After all the effort I already put into setting up the subway scene, new lighting and a different hairstyle was in order. The lighting brought in more realistic shadows and allowed for a much clearer distinction of the hairline (I'm not a perfectionist! YOU ARE!).

The tunnel walls can now be seen as well, which cuts down the render time by ~45 minutes (Daz hates dark areas). The hand gesture was altered to be more natural for the conversation taking place.

This couple will provide the player's first exposure to the type of conduct allowed in public within the city.

So now this subway scene transformed from literally two transitional images that were supposed to happen before the date to something far more. But the erotic redirection did not flow well from the subway station. I had to move it to after the date at the bar instead. Plus, for players who aren't interested in Oxar, this gives them some voyeuristic content to enjoy.
