Party At The Camp 2.0
Good afternoon,
Friday again so time to take a short break and report on what I did over the past week.
I started with Imawyn's prison BJ animation which I remade and extended with a second view. This will then also be available via the dream feature. I thought about making it available this way even if you are on Imawyn's love route. After all, it's only a dream then and you don't feel obliged to go the corruption route so that you don't miss the scene (this will of course also work if you are already past the whole quest).
As I wrote in my last report, I had already started working on Imawyn's sprites and dialog pictures. I continued working on them this week and created a bunch more to have something for all situations. I also reworked the pictures during Emily's kidnapping.
After all this was done, I had to integrate all the new dialog pictures into the existing dialogs. I have taken direct precautions so that in the future, if there is a pregnancy update for Imawyn, it will not be such an effort to adjust the dialog pictures again.
I then started a somewhat longer test run and fixed a few minor and major bugs. (Played through Imawyn's quest from the beginning). At this point I should also mention all the other bugfixes I made over the week which were only possible thanks to your reports! Thank you for that! (and for now better do the quest with Katherin before picking up Bianca into your group or things will bug out badly, also no Bianca at Isha's place).
When I was finally done with that, I started the actual work on Imawyn's scene. First of all, I thought about how best to realize it. Imawyn now has different clothes in the camp at the beginning, which will be changed by a small quest that I want to add, so that she ends up with the clothes that can also be seen in the title picture.
However, as the whole thing has to comply with existing saves, she will also be able to take part in the party in her other clothes, but then only to a limited extent as a violin player (making all animations in 2 variations would be too much work).
However, I plan to add an alternative version in case there are no mercenaries present, in which case Tia can beat the drum in the background.
But now I also needed animations for Bianca, who I also wanted to include and also for Lyvia, because so far her only animations at the party were the ones where she dances with the MC (or with him and Liandra).
This in turn led me to consider making the whole scene modular. Similar to Rumah at the fire. So the MC first dances for himself, so to speak, and then approaches individual women to dance with then, as you can also see in the title image.
However for this to work I have to restructure the whole scene. In a way that it also works with all layers of animations not to get in conflict with each other. So far I haven't started with that yet... I'm still in the middle of working on the animations itself.
It all took longer than I would have liked. So I already know that I won't finish today. I've already made more animations for Imawyn, but they all still need to be edited.
My goal now is to finish editing today so that I can start rebuilding the scene on Monday.
I will still have a lot to do with this today before calling it a day. Unfortunately this also means that I didn't manage to finish the scene this week as planned last Friday.
So the plan for next week is to finish the scene as quickly as possible and then move straight on to Arianna's content. I hope to be able to report on the first steps in this regard next Friday.
For now I wish you all a nice weekend!
