Honey Select, race and Ejo


While it took Wubopi several months and evolutions to find her final form, the only character I have that I constantly try to play with her appearance is Ejo.  I still don't like it.  

For those not in the know. The "engine" I use to make this game is honey select 2 DX libido.  Its basically a fuck game, but with an INSANE mod system to change up the girls you want to see get fucked. There is also a side studio called Studio NEO V2. where I do all my actual shooting, any animated sex scenes are done in game at the moment. 

The game's default characters are all Japanese ideal standards of beauty. They all look like young teens, girls, the main boy, you name it, they look underaged. Thank fully because so many people want to see their favorite character get naked and fucked, there is a plethora of custom mods out there for mostly realistic looking white and asian women to choose from.

However that comes with a downside. At some points the mods are so distorted, they have to break features of the character's facial mobility to function. That's actually where Isadora got her autism diagnosis. No matter what I did she had issues emoting properly because her face was broken

Now push that too the extreme and you hit the valley of the uncanny if you try to make them then emote even slightly.  East Asians, especailly teens and west Africans look probably the most extreme in physical features you can get.  Ejo was very loosely based on a person I used to work with, VERY loosely, but I couldn't get that west African look I was going for.

Finally I sat down and googled images of Ghanan women and her features are pretty close to what a woman from Ghana looks like.

However I never was fully happy, and i struggle with if its my colonialist bias that made me dislike her. After enough time I realized the answer is no, the engine itself is the antithesis to everything west African, without any active racism.  Once she has all the physical features I'm looking for she almost is now so distorted that she almost hits the valley of the uncanny which is not sexy.  Her face also can't properly emote even worse than Isadora.  Add that straight hair is easy to digitize while curly hair is not, I kind of have a limited number of hair styles I can get her with and most look frumpy. 

I might be trying to tweak and reshoot Ejo until the very end of the game.  This is a porn game and she needs to be at least somewhat enjoyable to watch having sex, and if she looks like she's had a bad botox job, that's not hot.  I'm going to start copping out with the whole straight vs curly hair thing with the fact that they are in shells, as her face looks much better with different hair.

Luckily Lakisha is Indian African American which is African, and European mixed so I think she looks great.  Ejo doesn't have that leeway if I want to be even remotely accurate.  I may also give up on it. 

We shall see how this goes...
