What's up, Naughty?

September has come and gone, the weather is turning colder for those of us living in the northern hemisphere (and I imagine, warmer for those in the southern hemisphere), and it's about time I gave you a little update on the state on the game.
Good news is, I'm plugging away as hard as ever, and I'm getting a lot of work done. Bad news, there's a lot more work to do still. As you're probably aware by now, I am going to do another full chapter for the next release, and I'm aiming to deliver at least as much content as the last chapter.
However, it involves more complicated scenes than the last update, and I think it'll likely take a bit more time than the last one did. We'll know for sure once we're a little further, and I'll keep you posted.
For now, another annoyingly cropped bit from a coming scene.

As always, thank you for your support. You are the ones that are making this project happen and I am so very grateful for that.

They're Armenian. Just a guess.

 

[Watcher X]

Does this game plan to have any animated scenes in the future?

 

[Deleted member 1019532]

We'll all find out together.

Surprisingly this has never actually crossed my mind at all I'm so engrossed with the story.

 

[Mrs Delington]

You have some kind of animations if I remember well, and one of them is when you dream of your wife and she is giving you an handjob.

Not a deal breaker for me, as I'm enjoying the story too much to really care. But I've not seen this dev's previous work so I don't know if animations is his thing or not.

God I honestly don't remember, I'll have to play again and find out

 

[jamdan]

Im fine if this doesn't have animation, that would've made getting whacked in the dong by a broom that much worse.

(...) But I've not seen this dev's previous work so I don't know if animations is his thing or not.

I've done quasi-animated, like two/three stills fading into each other, but I haven't really gotten around to trying full blown animations with many dozens of frames. I do a lot of manual posing so I am not sure how well that would work with store-bought animations, where I'd probably have to modify many key frames. Plus making an actual animation look good takes some skill, and I've seen plenty of not so good looking ones where I though it would have served the artist better to focus their time on a good still or two, rather than an awkward and immersion-breaking animation.

Long short; it's not my top prio at this moment, and although I'd like to try it one day, that day won't be soon I'm afraid.

You do what you can, and don't what you can't. No complaint there. The graphics and story line, as is, can't be beat.

I've tried playing around with animations, but have never had much success. Where many of the ways one can interact with a static pose are easy to find and experiment with, animations are a lot more obtuse. Part of that is just down to the dimensionality; working in 3 dimensions is hard enough, but you can see everything at once. Adding time to the mix means there are no easy ways to display a significant amount of information in a way that is easy to understand.

On the other hand, fading between stills does get most of the benefits without nearly so much pain (or storage). You certainly showed its use to good effect!

Hope we get to fuck the S3... hope its not femdom.

You will, and it's not. They're a quirky bunch, though.

Like how quirky?

Well...

You can expect their respective segments to involve those characteristics in some way.

They're Armenian. Just a guess.

It's what I thought at first, but apparently they're Native American chicas, possibly Mayan or something. I never realized how much alike they look with the peoples of the Caucasus.

 

[Small tits are best]

they are from some were hot (coz they smoking)

I think more likely Armenian over Mayan. Following the Turkish massacre for their Armenian population, many emigrated to the United States. Not too many other groups from the Caucasus emigrated here. The Mayans, on the other hand, more or less stayed in their part of Mexico.

Well, it's not what the narrative of the game describes or naughtyroad says. Also, there are quite a few photos of real native chicas here in this thread where we had a discussion about it and you can find plenty of examples yourself via web search, too.
