Status Update #63
Hello everyone!
This week we've been focusing on animations.
Animations are one of those things we try to improve on with each cycle because they're so requested. Back in the day when we had no animations, we kept hearing that we need them, and lots of them! We didn't really have any scenes to put them in then, but now we do. In fact, we're starting to reach the kind of content where we can make a whole bunch of them, especially for the main girls.
We also have our animation rig up, and the next step is waiting for graphic cards to open up the path to anything we can think of. We luckily managed to avoid the crazy spike in RAM prices, but Fs in the chat for those who were planning to build new setups now or in the future.
We still have a couple of animations we'd like to add, as well as new renders. We also tried a multi-animation test for a scene where the animation doesn't loop, but transitions between angles like in a video. It's a bit odd for now, but we'll continue working on it and see if it's worth keeping. This is one of our goals for some of the longer scenes, so we'd like to get it right the first time.
Android also got plenty of attention this week, and we've been considering if we should release it after the PC version. It works as intended, mostly. However, the in-game phone and laptop content don't really agree with that small screen. Unless you're rocking some heavy prescription lenses at least.
Most of the bugs should now be cleared, at least from what we've managed to comb through. Dialogue is also starting to feel clean. We have a few scenes left to edit properly on our end, and then it's time to get some fresh eyes on the update to see what we've missed.
What we've done this week, basically:
A lot of DUG stuff (Dress-Up-Game)
New backups and NAS change coming
Android scaling and edits
Android phone/laptop edits
Pokethroughs
Script edit
Dialogue edit
Coding and changes
Animation tests
New Animations
SFX work
The monthly special poll is also running, and currently it's a pretty even split between
Sophie and
Eve, with
Ms. Hill in third place.
