I hope in the spring.
Probably I'll first update BL with the feedbacks I am getting and integrate all that on CB ;)

If that's the case, perhaps this would be a good time to revisit the core design of FTL and DCKT, and make a few changes at the base level? I have a few suggestions:
1) Perhaps a name change. Since G9 is gender neutral, it would make more sense for the product to have a gender neutral name (e.g "Meipe's UniDick (UD) for G9", as it would be unisex).
2) A higher polycount allowing for more detailed morphs, maybe even integrate the Cocky Clacker's style polycount/morphs into the base figure (the dforce addon could still be sold separately, as would the foreskin geograft).
3) Maybe some extra bones around the anus for more control over stretching/posing. Laudanum's Advanced Pussy has an incredibly impressive rigging system allowing you to pull and pose different parts of the vagina and anus in very organic ways, and something like that for FTL/DCKT would be amazing. That said, if I understand correctly, Laudanum's AP completely replaces the entire hip area, which might've been necessary for such a system to work as well as it does in the first place, and as such I understand if such a thing can't be implemented into a new Meipe genital to the same extent (if at all).
4) Controversial opinion, but maybe the default shape should be smaller? I only suggest this because DCKT is one of the best genital figures out there, with a wonderful amount of customisation. But sometimes I like to make characters that are more realistically endowed and that can be difficult to do with DCKT sometimes without encountering a lot of scaling issues (especially when using muscular body types, trying to make a realistically sized flacid dick tend to give me multiple rigging issues with the pubic area). Based on personal experience, it seems to be MUCH easier to scale a bodypart to be bigger than it is to scale a bodypart smaller, so making the base shape smaller might be the best way of ensuring everyone could use it regardless of whether they're rendering little soft dicks or massive hard cocks.
5) I have a suggestion for how the anus could be redesigned. You know how the coverup foreskin is basically just a smooth, spherical tube which you can then add wrinkle detail on top of? Perhaps the default anus shape could be redesigned into just a smooth, circular hole shape, which different styles of wrinkles could then be added onto. Wrinkles on the anus can be just as varied in shape and number as on the foreskin, not to mention a user may want more or less visible wrinkles depending on whether they're rendering realistic or toon characters. You ever heard of anime having "Same Face Syndrome"? Well, this would be a good way to avoid having "Same Anus Syndrome". :P
I agree! :)
But about using bones for gaping the anus, it requires large piece of geometry... RIP HD morphs.
So probably it is better for users to be able to choose between grafts with different approaches, as each of them have strength and issues.

I think this is a fantastic compromise Meipe. I WANT to use the HD morphs and I don't care AT ALL about a gaping anus. Giving us essentially two grafts would probably satisfy the majority of people on here. For me, the less the graft replaces of the original geometry the better! I assume there is plenty of room for a gaping vagina with a smaller graft?

Would it be difficult to update Breastacular 9 to use Genesis 8 UVs? There's a recent product out that lets us use Genesis 8 skins on Genesis 9, but this of course doesn't work for geografts like Breastacular.

You mean Cayman Studios's one?
There:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ffifavqwol2odvw/G9Breastacular_LegacyUvsCayman.zip?dl=0
Set up G9+Breastacular, load Cayman's "Prepare G9" script and " Apply G8F UVs", then load your G8F texture map (previously resaved as non-hierarchical), and load the Breastacular "Material copy" script.
Breastacular G9 isn't fully compatible with Cayman's shoulder geograft, they overlap a little on the armpits. There isn't an easy fix I can provide, so just render two times, the second one with Breastacular hidden in the scene, and then merge the two renders in Photoshop/Gimp.

Meipe, Would it be possible to ask where in your plans a G9 version of Dicktator and Pumping Pole Palette would fall? It's a great product, and pretty much indispensible for characters that don't have genital materials included.

Dicktator/Futalicious/Pumping pole as well as Golden Palace are indespensible. I also like those the most and am eagerly waiting for news... Would be great to have them for G9 soon. I'm starting a new project with G9 and generally would be glad if everybody had the correct attachements, so they don't need to be exchanged later on (what probably would make a difference).

Not really a suggestion but didn't wanna to clutter your forum with another topic when I just have a quick question.
Does Dicktator use JCMs, by any chance? I've exported Dicktator to Blender and I'm having a hard time getting some morphs to work, and if Dicktator perchance uses JCMs, then it would explain my issues (since I haven't imported any JCM).
I know this is a super random question but I'm just checking out any possibilities.

I'm currently working on G9 Dicktator. It'll take some time to finish, as it has been redesigned, but I suppose it'll be released in January.
I'll build support for Pumping Pole Palette as well...

Consider every morph in a matching area is transferred from the main figure to its followers. If you bend a leg, the JCM is triggered on Genesis and if a custom matching JCM is not present on the graft/clothing, it will be created by DAZ.
As far as I can remember I have created custom JCMs for Dicktator, but I'm not sure if they are kept when the graft is merged to the main figure before exporting...

Thank you so much for answering so quickly! Looking forward to it.
Have a happy holiday season!

You are not an outlier. For me, small morphs for Cover-Up is a must. I really want to use normal-to-small sized penises with really good looking foreskin.
Meipe, did you ever update Futa CoverUp for small sizes? Or is it still on the list? I remember asking awhile back but can't remember what your response was.
Speaking of which, Meipe, do you have a "To Do list" or "currently working on list" that you feel comfortable sharing with us? Thanks so much.
The morphs are done, I just need to find some time to pack everything up... G9 changed all of my plans ;)
Hey there Meipe. Any news on this update? I am really anxiously waiting for this :D

I have yet to hear if there is a possibility of a G8M version of Futalicious. After the release of Golden Palace for G8M, I thought the release of the Futalicious version was soon to follow.
BTW, love the GP G8M package. It makes having transmen much easier.

@Meipe, when you port Cluster Bomb to G9, do you think it would be difficult to make separate grafts for 6 breasts vs 4 breasts? For people who prefer 4 over 6, but don't want to deal with the bugginess of the flattening morphs that usually don't work with other full body morphs. :)
