If Dawn 2 came out soon, I would be really upset, and I wouldn't be willing to spend money to make her usable, unless she where were great and free, out of the box, no add-ons needed - we know that is not how it will go. The first release of Dawn is only becoming usable for me now, that I have a reasonable set of morphs, including third party morphs, and a selection of textures to make her look different. I am happy to make clothes for her now.
I would be interested in a male version, but again, if the morphs were absent, expensive or limited I wouldn't buy. And I need non-caucasian textures. So, having seen how things progressed with Dawn I would probably wait before committing to the male version.
Dawn at least has a chance of surviving. With Rex and Roxie, Smith Micro made the same mistakes and worse - figures that were released with major flaws and no third party support, that didn't initially even work in the face room and had very limited other morphs to change the face, and only a caucasian texture. Would you have bought them, or even downloaded them for free if they hadn't come with the software? Rex and Roxie have been around longer than Dawn, and at this time I only have only one character set for Roxie with a few skin tones (by Virtual_World and now on sale here), and two for Rex, both by 3Dream. The Rex textures are both caucasian, even if there are different shades. The Roxie set at least enables me to create characters that could conceivably be a different race, and I can sculpt the head morphs myself in Blender.
To make it worse, an essential update for Rex and Roxie is then released, but it makes previously created morphs incompatible. Then a major error is found in the updated Roxie and she is updated again (I am not sure whether the same thing happened with Rex). It is a comedy of errors, and this is one of the reasons why I am still interested in Dawn. I bought a character for Dawn yesterday (again by Virtual_World), so I am still engaged, prepared to buy and make stuff, when it comes to Dawn.
