Dev update #117
🕑 Added 2023-06-29 09:44:05 +0000 UTCHi!
First things first, I wanted to let you know that I'm continuing my work on static renders and will keep doing so in the coming weeks. Nothing new, I know. But here's the thing! I've just completed the first sex scene in Episode 3 (without animations, for now). In this update, you'll be treated to not just one or two, but a whopping 8-9 quality sex scenes! Get ready for some intense action!
Since the first sex scene is already done, I can now put to test my new animation workflow on an ACTUAL scene. I've tested it several times over the past week on random few-frames test animations, and it's working... 80% of the time! This is beyond my expectations, but what exactly does it mean? Better, more natural-looking animations and more (improved) animations, faster! I'll hold off on giving my final verdict until a few more sex scenes are completed, but things are looking very promising.
The development of Exploration Phases is progressing smoothly without any issues. Once I'm done rendering the stills and clear the queue, I dive into creating backgrounds and characters for those free-roaming sections; color grading them, compositing in Photoshop and coding into the game. There are still a few more Exploration Phases to go, but I'm pushing through and making steady progress!
I've also added new menus that allow you to skip minigames in Episode 2 (and all further episodes). This is great news for those who aren't big fans of minigames. And here's an extra bonus: In Episode 3, there won't be any minigames at all.
Also, a small change to the Exploration Phase images - I've changed the outline of hovered characters. I absolutely hated the previous look, so I've made changes to something much more polished and refined.
That's it for now! I'll give you more updates on animations in the next week and my final verdict on the new workflow. If it works, I'll able to produce 80-100 animations per update. I would say easily, but there is nothing easy about it.
Thank you for your patience and support!
Take care!
