You say that the project has "degraded" but everything that has been added so far is in line with their original vision. They originally said they were going to make a character creator before starting on animations, and that is what they have done. I am not exactly sure what kind of game you were expecting this to become.
I started to pay attention to this when the original YF1 has been stopped developing at that point it was told that this game will be the same idea but improved up but currently its still at the point of being an expensive 3d char maker with the idea that we getting the animation maker so we can do some actual gameplay being forgotten (i know its been not but they really do take their time like the breeder of nephelym dev).
like the first one, it's not a game. there's a reason why they refer to it as a yiff program/app, not a game. the first one was a pose/ik animation program and this one's pretty much going to be much the same, but with a character creator and key frame animation. if you're expecting more, you're letting yourself down.
It's just a framework for animation/character creation. The "game" part comes from what it will (eventually) be used for. It's a tool, not a toy, essentially, but it can still be used for for some quick fun messing about if tweaking rigs is to your liking. Just think of it like a more advanced (furry) gobbo maker, like DAZ or more so Honeyselect, except with actual interesting and more unique/customizable models and gasp animation/physics
when finished it will have the CC, the animation maker, and the visual novel editor.
good idear but honnestly i dunno best is to ask them if yes or no or dunno =)
Personally hoping it's as good as the menu for adding meshes to the current version is. I would love to just be able to add my animations just like that after doing them externally or using the system from the first version as well but expanded. Tons of potential that has shown to be working already in the first game.
I like the easy animation the first had, for example how easy it was to just have penis to vagina BUT, the animations are limited, you cant do a lot of things with it. So I hope that they found a way to bring back the old system but also to being able to make way more complex animations, for example the first didnt had blowjobs from what I remember. Of course animators were creative like making a third model invinsible however it was limited nevertheless.
It would just need more states which I'm almost certain it will have. The original was basically a strong IK engine with some ambient movement and good physics from what I remember. It worked pretty good honestly. This has the workings to be that an then some with traditional anims layered on top of it. A lot of the facial animations were really good and blended well in 1 already so I'm pretty hopeful for what they're doing and have been showing off thus far.
not this time
Rip, another year of wait.not this time
here the post for the release of this build :
As before, we would like to point out that this is a pure content build. The work we showed off on physical IK is still a work in progress and will be released along with the new interaction systems sometime next year.
We will post a progress update about the new interaction systems later this week or in the next. We have some very exciting things we want to share with you. Great progress!
Thanks to all of our patrons for supporting the project. It is your support that makes all this possible. We cannot stress enough how important it is to us and how grateful we are to have you as our patrons! Thank you all, so very much!
We hope you will enjoy this build!
All the best.
