Marty : as I said in a recent IM, I got a swimsuit version with non functional JCM. Could you send me the latest version so that I can start working on promo pics this week-end ? Nanoshi : Marty hinted that you could use some help in finalising items. If it is the case and you think I can help, I'm all yours. Ridokkun : "The forbidden city" falls into the adult anime genre, with sex scenes (with daemons and such), but I wouldn't label it Hentai. We just don't have that kind of films in occident, that's why we have a hard time figuring out what they are exactly. Marty : I'm not that sure that "sex sells". There are no sex items in the Top20. There are textures, fetish clothes, but nothing suited for Renderotica. If you do explicitly sexual items, you'd run the risk of getting a bad rep. Sexy surely sells (otherwise why would we see so many girls in bikini trying to sell us cars ?), but you can always make "sexy promo pics". I mean, the swimsuit you're working on can be textured to look like a sports wetsuit or a fetish latex leotard. I wonder if MayaDoll is a good candidate to carry on sexyness. She is not realistic enough. May be you could concentrate on the AnimeDoll, which is still in the top 20. As for sexy in the anime genre, well we already have miniskirted schoolgirl uniforms and maid outfits,the bunny outfit with your catsuit, and there are bustiers, fetish leotards and fetishic clothes in the MP. A japanese gym outfit could be nice, or cheongsam dress (china dress). You could also make a Ninja accesories pack or a cyborg outfit. Or a Bubblegum crisis like suit. Or a really cool SF motorcycle. Or SF weapons ? As for improving sales, have you considered selling at other stores ?
