Hey friends!<\/strong><\/p>

Beauty and the Thug 4.1 is out in the wild, and many of you have already played it. I really hope you enjoyed the new content. Fun fact: this is the very first time we didn\u2019t need a 4.1a, 4.1b, 4.1c\u2026 just a single clean \u201ca\u201d version! Even I was surprised, especially since the game\u2019s structure had some major surgery this time around.<\/p>

Now we’re hard at work on the next update \u2013 Amy\u2019s route. The plan is to bring the story to that big milestone where Lisa and Amy officially become a couple. It’s not going to happen in one big swoop, of course. Their relationship will build gradually across three major events. And the first one, despite all the chaos and complications, is done!<\/p>

Now, what would a report from me be without some good old-fashioned computer drama?<\/p>

Lately, my internet kept vanishing… only on my PC. Everything else in the house was online and happy. The only \u201cfix\u201d was to reboot the whole computer. It used to be a rare thing, but then it became an everyday adventure.<\/p>

After playing tech detective for a bit, I finally found the culprit: Norton Antivirus! Yep. As I was fool enough to pay for the whole year, I\u2019d been putting up with its weirdness for a while, but this was the last straw. Not only did it miss a threat that cost me several thousand dollars (luckily, I got it all back \u2013 recently the bank ruled in my favor officially!), but it also kept flagging my own mini-apps as dangerous. Adding them to the exception list was useless. And now, to top it all off \u2013 it became the reason my internet was cutting out! So, I did the only sane thing: deleted it and switched to BitDefender. Problem solved.<\/p>

BitDefender, by the way, is considered one of the top antiviruses out there. And more importantly \u2013 it actually likes<\/em> my apps and never freaks out over them.<\/p>

But wait, there\u2019s more! A few days later, the drive that stores all my project files (including Beauty and the Thug) decided to take a nap and stop showing up. Not fun. Luckily, I use iDrive to back up to the cloud, so the essential stuff was safe \u2013 but the latest files for the new update weren\u2019t synced yet. Also, reinstalling DAZ Studio and all its libraries would\u2019ve taken days<\/em>.<\/p>

Thankfully, after waiting for 15 minutes and rebooting, the drive showed up again. As I found out, this was a known<\/em> issue with the Samsung 990 Pro. Today I installed a brand new Western Digital Black 8TB NVMe, cloned everything to it, stress-tested it, and\u2026 problem #2 solved. I\u2019ve already submitted a warranty request for the Samsung one.<\/p>

Now for some good news from the land of Aqwaa \u2013 he\u2019s upgrading his computer! The new one will be powerful enough for full 3D rendering, and we\u2019re already setting him up to render scenes for our games. Actually, the drive issue I mentioned earlier started when I tried to archive and upload my 800+ GB DAZ Library for him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The next big scene happens in a park. Back in the day, Amy and Lisa had a magical ability to get themselves into ridiculous, awkward, embarrassing situations. You know, the ones you wish you could forget\u2026 but later laugh about until you cry.<\/p>

However, it\u2019s not just a \u201cchildhood thing.\u201d Leave Lisa and Amy together for some time, no matter their age, and the chaos writes itself. Add Lisa\u2019s well-documented talent for escaping her own clothes, and\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I\u2019ve already started working on the next event, which will bring Amy and Lisa even closer emotionally and show some surprising new sides of their relationship.<\/p>\n

Things are going a little slower than usual because image post-processing is taking more time than I expected \u2013 but I\u2019m getting better at it. Aqwaa\u2019s tasks are shifting too. Right now, he\u2019s focusing on enhancing facial details and sharpening background elements using some online tools. Unfortunately, those tools tend to lag hard in his country, so we may need to reshuffle who\u2019s doing what again.<\/p>\n

A quick heads-up: I\u2019ll be taking a short 5-day vacation at the end of July \u2013 beginning of August. I hope you\u2019ll be kind and not throw rotten apples and dislikes my way!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all for now. Once again, thank you all so much for your support. The 8TB SSD for storing my DAZ libraries, original renders, and animations (several gigabytes each!), the premium antivirus, the cloud backup system that keeps my projects safe even in worst-case scenarios, the new 3D assets, and the not-so-cheap post-processing tools I use \u2013 all of that is possible because of you<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Have an amazing week \u2013 and I\u2019ll keep working on Amy and Lisa\u2019s next big adventure!<\/p>
