Houston, we have a problem...
Added 2023-07-14 00:17:29 +0000 UTCHi, here's the first draft for 4.0. It will be a big improvement in image quality and I will have to re-render all the app. It can become something far better if I can use 4-6 different outfits that get into all the scenes. Now, the red outfit triggers 1.0, purple dress 2.0 and shorts 3.0. What if all outfits can get all scenes from all versions, just like in the customs I made? It would be like Sith Lord Darthbrat said, Mrs. Rachel will be like any normal woman who will choose any outfit whenever she wants. With this new approach, 4.0 will improve dramatically from. And then I could make an alternative version with the customs outfits (Barbie, Mistress, etc...)
The super problem here is that I'd need to render 4 times the images and it would become a 10-12 Gb file that I don't know how I can share it with you. Mega has 5 Gb transfer per certain amount of hours (6, 8, or a day, not sure), so, you would need to download the first 5Gb and then wait several hours without turning off your PC until you can resume the download, and it could be the same process 3 times. And if something happens, like a broken connection, you wll have to start all over again. The only way to avoid this is by getting a mega subscription, and it wouldn't be nice that you would need to pay another $10.
Dropbox allows it, but it has only 45 Gb per day of traffic, so after a 4th patron downloads the file, my account would be suspended for a week. There are other platforms like anonfiles that has unlimited transfer and unlimited size files. The big, big problem is that your PC may get AIDS in the process, after a dozen porn advertisements pop up. This is an issue that I knew would happen with Marco's quest, and I thought I had a couple of months to look for a solution.
I'm gonna look for options, and if some of you know from a reliable and not very expensive platform that offers unlimited or very high traffic rates to upload and download larger files, I would appreciate it.
p.s. I bought some new stuff. Below it's a modern dress I loved. I'm not sure about the color, but it's how I pictured her in the beginning. A classy, modern and very sexy MILF. And this kitchen is the perfect scenario.

Thanks a lot for the info. I believe I will use wetransfer, it's very reliable as it's mainly used for business.

2023-07-23 23:55:02 +0000 UTCWell, they CLAIM "You’ll never hit a bandwidth or download limit with ad-supported downloads, no matter how popular your file is" with the paid version. But I've also read complaints from people about slow downloads. (I've personally not experienced that, though I also use Internet Download Manager for such things, which Mediafire does not seem to mind.) Trying to find non-biased reviews from non-ad-supported sites is tricky. I stumbled on one that compares some services that does not, in turn, seem to point you to a "try OUR product!" link: https://geekflare.com/online-large-file-sharing-tools/ . Mediafire is not even listed, interestingly. Wikipedia has a nice comparison page of file hosting services, but nothing about the client/customer experience: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_hosting_services .

2023-07-20 18:09:28 +0000 UTCIt's something like Mega plans. But the question is what happens when a free user wants to download a big file? Can anyone download large files directly without dealing with very slow transfer rates or limited amount of Gb per day like Mega?

2023-07-19 14:31:51 +0000 UTCAnother thought for file storage: how about Mediafire? They advertise up to 50GB files can be stored with the "Pro" membership. It would be another cost for OTK Productions, but I wonder if it's worth looking into. Here's a link: https://www.mediafire.com/upgrade/

2023-07-19 14:22:33 +0000 UTCTrue! The so-called "abandonware" list is, I'm sure, much longer than the "completed games" list when looking at one-person game development in the adult market.

2023-07-16 14:53:42 +0000 UTCAll the extra freebie versions of Ms. Rachel should at least mollify some of the plantation overseers' whips, I would think. 'Hope for it around' and 'shooting for' are targets, not hard deadlines, especially for a one slave operation. The average elsewhere is 2-4 YEARS to crank a single game. And over half never even finish that!

2023-07-15 20:00:40 +0000 UTCI have used WeTransfer (free version) in the past, and it seems to be pretty good, if a bit slow. As for the issue with declining patrons if things don't get released quickly enough, would it be possible to just state up front something along the lines of "bigger projects may take several months, so there may be times games are not released on a monthly basis"? While that may be a red flag to several people, at least you're saying it upfront. You might also consider lessening the blow, as it were, by promising something like 50 or so images from the game in progress to tie people over a bit. That might be satisfactory to the lesser-tiered patrons, especially, since for many other renderers that's all they're often used to, anyway. Heck, there's plenty of sites out there that just render images alone and ask for fairly decent dollars. Just a few random thoughts. Otherwise, I echo what darthbrat and eric say...I, at least, am willing to wait.
