Honey select 2 first impressions (character creation)

 

Ok so messed around in the character creation for HS2 for like 20 minutes and quickly put together this bunny for comparison and wanted to give a report of my findings

Illusion soft's has a lot of experience making 3d char maker H games and they do a decent job of improving their tools upon each game and in some ways it all culminates in HS2. All my criticisms here will be in comparison to Honey select 1 more than anything since this is marketed at it's sequels and in that sense there's waves and waves of improvements as expected.

I'm not gonna comment on vanilla clothing since community mods tend to make up for any lacking in that department. However clothing has a greater degree of freedom than in the original even giving you to stick a pattern on clothing similarly to Koikatsu. KK however did have 2 clothings that gave you 2 layers to customize. I didn't encounter that in HS2 which is a disappointment since the best character creators IMHO give you 2 layers for tops. Eg. in the comparison pic, the only way to get rid of the shirt inside the blazer is to find/make a clothing that leaves only the blazer without the shirt.

The U.I for the character maker is also a vast improvement. It is very cleaned up and easy to read for the most part using thumbnails for all your clothings and other options giving you a quick preview of your choices without having to load every one individually to find what you want. This does complicate the possibility of a search plugin in the event that you have a Huge Hoard of mods but i think it's a reasonable trade off. better than going through your whole list one by one you know?
 

The #1 improvement that I could notice though are the models. they are vastly improved from the original. Do keep in mod that in both games I turn off the bloom since they are the worst thing that the ps3/xbox 360 era of gaming gave us lol. regardless the vanilla meshes are really good and they morph and bend with little problems. The best improvement and the thing I'll harp on the most is the eyes. First of all iris customization is highly improved to the point that you can change teh shape of the irises mostly removing the need for a long list of modded irises (unless you want specific shapes and designs such as hearts or sharingans or something) if you want cat eyes simply make a skinny iris :P. On top of that is the way the flexibility with eye shapes. No longer do you get awkward sunken looking eye holes when you try to make big anime eyes. So you can finally have kawaii desu girls with a reasonable amount of sleep.

everything else is pretty standard although I did notice that there's a futa checkbox right outta the box. clicking it didn't enable a dong on my girl But I'm sure that's so you can handle that yourself, customize it and then use it's 'features' in game. I'm not interested but go ahead and 'play around with it' if that's your thing . However I do have to mention one unfortunate detail that breaks my heart. 1 CARD 1 OUTFIT. In both HS1 and KK multiple outfits can set for each character so that they can be worn and easily switched in accordance to the setting that they are in during the actual gameplay. In KK's main game for example, once school ends, the girls will be in their "going home" outfit, during club room period the will be in their "club" outfit and etc. Hs1 only had 3 outfits but choosing to do your girl in the bath or pool will load them in their swimsuit outfit and doing them in their bedroom will load them in their "room" outfit. HS2 strips that completely and defaults them with the outfit that you saved the card with. Speaking with ppl on the discord, it seems the idea is to save the outfits themselves separately (which yes, is a feature in the other games that I only use for copy and paste convenience) and just switch to them when desired. Like i said i haven't tried the main game yet so maybe it's seamless but this is really gonna effect how I show off the cards should I make the new thread for it and I can't help but feel they just added extra steps and complicated card sharing -_-. it's not a deal breaker but damn that's a really big blemish in what otherwise was looking like the textbook definition of a sequel that improves on the previous game.

Well that's it, Can't really give a final verdict without experiencing this game for a couple more hours but it's definitely promising. And as I've mentioned b4 one big positive is that this game has complete mod and card compatibility with A.I shoujo which I haven't played but for those of you that are interested, much like KK it's an illusion soft game with actual game, this one involving being stuck on an island with your created girls (or something like that). or hell, get both and switch between them as per your mood :D. with that said I look forward to exploring this game further and It might be time to say goodbye to the original and start over. But again, feel free to share what you guys think and shape my opinion or ask any questions which I will answer to the best of my abilities

THAT'S A COP OUT NON ANSWER AND YOU KNOW IT!

[Honey Select VS. Koikatsu (discussion thread for the galleries)]

GENTLEMEN! I HAVE A DILEMMA!

So, I've been keeping eyes on the Honey select sequel known as Honey select 2 : libido. It's out now, I have plans to get it but certain fears I had were realized
bad news, all mods and cards from the original HS are NOT compatible due to HS2 using a different newer engine
good news is that mods and cards from illusion soft's previous game "Ai-shoujo" which gives HS2 a head start in available mods

What this means fellow haremversites is that I have a choice. Either Abandon HS1 and start making haremverse cards for you guys in HS2 from scratch or keep making cards for HS1 and just keep HS2 for personal enjoyment.

So I just need you guys to voice your opinions. Should I jump ship to HS2 and start from scratch or continue the path. then again I could say screw both and just stay on Koikatsu. I'll at least make a bunny card for comparisons sake

Bonny Jenkins

 Note: Request from @Varnart Outfits based off both her standard and festival variations are in this card. (thought there were more variations. huh)

[Honey Select VS. Koikatsu (discussion thread for the galleries)]

@Varnart i humbly accept the request but please keep the requests and comments here so that the card threads can function as galleries

Bastet

 

 

Note: Ran into some snafus while trying to upgrade my PC but it's done and running beautifully. And I couldn't resist making a character of my Smite Main from the latest goddess event. As you can see couldn't recreate the clothing too well but I'm proud of the important bits 😼 Thank the Heavens I managed to pull her

[Honey Select Cards (redux)]

Fairy

note: Thought we were due for a honey select card. and no, not gonna put her in an egg or try to make "fairypillar" and try to giver her 4 extra legs. so you just get this and 2 other dresses close to her default dress. doing this also reminded me of how difficult it is to get the eyes into an anime fashion. so I'm just gonna leave them normal although a tad bigger

[Who here actually plays smite?]

anyone remember beta kali and beta bastet? now those are some designs i'd love to see as classic skins. But religious idiots can't stand their imaginary friends be depicted faithfully in a video game. When it's in ancient illustrations it's fine for kali to be naked. but HOW DARE THEY render her in a revealing outfit in a god based video game!

[Who here actually plays smite?]

So surprised that the new event girls are smite themed. And of course these crossaints make my main (bastet) a legendary pachinko pull XD

Kimie Chiba Komina

Note: all versions (as of 4/2/20) are here. yeah, had to settle for an aproximate outfits but at least I could make a texture for the shorts on the base halloween outfit to add SOME accuracy

Hey everyone, just wanted to hope everyone is staying safe with the current epidemic. I live in new york where everyone (smart and responsible) is practicing social distancing as the city is in quarantine with an unprecedented amount of emptiness in the streets. I wish I could be using this chance to crank out a nice batch of cards for everyone but I work in delivery so I'm still out here on my daily grind. With that said i hope everyone stays healthy, stay stocked up,  wash your hands, don't hang around too many people, and epstein didn't kill himself

Lives

Notes: Requested by @jelom Consider this a late WIP of sorts. I essentially cheated on the lynxtaur model by modifying someone else's centaur character and if I really wanted to I could try retexturing the legs to make it look like fur but that would take alot of time that I don't have. still think it wasn't a bad job

[Not a drawing, but also creativity!]

NANI?! THE FUCK!

Of course because it's a woman, you know how entitled they are nowadays and that the government and court is rigged so women always profit at the expense of men.

That's why I'm a MGTOW Monk.

Yep definitely sounds like a mig. Lol. To bebfair evidence showed that her husband was abusive towards her. Still crime's a crime.

 

Respect the lifestyle btw. Just literally had to explain to someone on facebook the difference between mgtows and incels since both the media and undercover incels gave you guys a bad name. Now not having a girlfriend is treated like the first sign of a serial killer and it pisses me off

Mizuki Kawamori

NOte: as requested by @Dxhu123 It's Mizuki, the only reason any of us spent any time on hentai clicker. Even added her outfit from one of her scenes as her school outfit.

I said Gork as a joke, but you did an excellent work in the poses 👍. You even made his face uglier than in the model (she is not really so ugly in the original, by the way), and I am sure it is difficult to do with this tools . I expect that some people who complained about her ugliness in the game don't see this or they will have more reasons to do it .

 

[Honey Select VS. Koikatsu (discussion thread for the galleries)]

I dont play hentai clicker myself but i guess it's not off the table?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gork

 

 

Note: Here's my attempt at the swoll orc girl as requsted by Jelom. It was interesting messing around with body texture to add the scars, using fur textures to simulate it on the neanderthal variant and had to makeshift the cornrows by just placing a bunch of ponytails. looks awkward from certain angles but I personally think it worked out

Her standard outfit is on the swimsuit slot while the neanderthal variation is under casual  

[Honey Select VS. Koikatsu (discussion thread for the galleries)]

shit dude, you want all that at once?

[Honey Select VS. Koikatsu (discussion thread for the galleries)]

[Honey Select VS. Koikatsu (discussion thread for the galleries)]

alright guys, I'm back from getting all the skins from smite's rwby battlepass, and playing as siren in Borderlands 3. as far as card making goes gonna be focusing more on koikatsu than honey select since some really good mods are out including a "card snowflaker" as i like to call it so finally we get big, easy to view cards.

Also to make working on the next sets of cards more fun I'd like to ask for requests for what HH girl you would like to see next!

[Koikatsu party Cards]

LEE LEE DICER

Note: Lee has only the one outfit so card only

Been a while guys. Something about Lee Lee made me want to work on her next and I'm super proud of the posing recreation here. And in case it isn't obvious a card re-image tool was finally made for Koikatsu so we got large cards bois! the modder warned against issues when saving a card of different resolution so I'll keep my eyes out for any potential card loading issues but from what I've seen so far all her cloting and sliders remained in tact.

@KoikatsuLover
sorry, I don't know how to make mods or outfits. I've tried to mess around with importing 3d models in other games but it was too confusing for me. the most I can do is texturing and I'm not terribly experienced at that either

P.S. SAO is trash, lol

[Honey Select VS. Koikatsu (discussion thread for the galleries)]

More modes? Like what?
