Illustrated Dev Diary, June 21st, 2024


First, thank you very much for last week's kind comments. I hope all of you have just as nice memories from your grans as I do.
It seems that last week's events didn't hinder progress too much, as I was still able to get a good chunk of work done, especially on the animations. The output was 1,223 frames of animation and 62 story renders.
I started the Roxy scene, and since you all helped design her through several polls, I thought I'd give a bit of insight of my thought process for it.

The first step was to improve her skin, as we'll be seeing a whole lot more of it. That includes designing her genitalia, resurfacing it to PBR, and high-resolution HD nipples.
Then, as you know, Roxy has this adult toys store and will claim that toys are just as good as real people. Of course, we'd like to argue differently, at least when she's the target love interest.

I could have solved the argument by simply having a lewd scene, and her stating that you're the best she's ever had. I mean, by adult game logic it could work. But instead, I wanted the first part of the lewd scene to contain elements of humor and some fun animations too, as opposed to just ramming it home and choosing where to deposit. Mainly to show that, yeah, a lot of different things can happen when there are actual people involved. Some very unexpected things.

I think the animations so far are my best works yet (see the actual non-post-processed animation frame above). There's no better feeling than putting a rendered animation together and seeing the result surpass your expectations.
Next week, I'll finish Roxy's scene and continue the crazy party.
I've also been invited to the 'Steam Next Fest', Steam's celebration of upcoming games. This is really odd, as I haven't even registered U4iA yet. But it definitely means that I'll have to look into getting the Steam store page up and the game approved sometime soon. This is not a tiny process. It's several days of preparing graphical assets and a playable demo.
Anyway, enough chatter from me for now. I'll get right back at it. Roxy is eagerly awaiting more fun.
Have yourself a nice weekend, and stay safe out there.

savenaming would be great thing.

Hopefully the camera angles for the animated scenes will also get better and better. To me still the biggest let-down to the absolute brilliant Leap Of Faith.

 

[rafaaa]

is roxy a LI?

is roxy a LI?

possibly.

 

[rafaaa]

possibly.

because we only saw on the store and nothing else. would be good for the dev to say if she is or not. i think would be good a good LI.

well 1 thing this doesn't lack is potential lis, teagan, hotel owner, girls on boat, .........................

 

[MakkAnzy]

I'm not even sure which girl is NOT an LI in this game tbh. lol

A very solid game so far, but this is to be expected from Drifty.

 

[Jafo]

This is reading a bit funny.

and high-resolution HD nipples.

Are there also SD, UHD and 4K nipples te render........

good cause all are.

There already is a girl that throws up and murders the mood irreperrably because of the over-excitement - there literally is such a small possibility this dev could come up with anything more aggregious or disgusting then the scene with the girl who cannot hold her bowels - that scene where and when MC attempted to appease the outdoor lewd fantasy of a virgin - also when Drifty dealt such a horrendously low blow to us players.

Now ... doubling down on the blue balling in the middle of a hot scene is just evil.

E.V.I.L ! I tell ya !!!!

MC literally wakes up with the hangover of a dead man reanimen - we even get to choose how he treats it - going all in with another bottle of booze, or get some vitamins in after the bender of his lifetime.

well we don't know how that starting scene is related to rest of game, it looks it has much younger mc than rest of game

Pretty compelling case of strong substance abuse and the aftermath

Okay, so I went a bit nuts on the Roxy lewd scene. I ended up with 20 animated sequences, which have been rendering all week and finished up about an hour ago. So, no story renders were done this week, but a hefty 2,647 frames of animations were done, which is the maximum I can output in a single week.

I did finally add 'bones' to the ass cheeks on the girls. This adds for some more 'jiggly' action, as none of these models have naturally moving asses without using morphs.

All in all, it's a great scene. And here's a little preview (ruined by YouTube compression, but still).

You must be registered to see the links

I also made some changes to Episode 2 in preparation for the Steam version. Games with school uniforms have been banned from Steam before. So, I decided to re-render those few images in the Paige flashback to avoid getting rejected.

If a game is rejected by Valve, it is banned forever and can never be re-submitted to Steam. U4iA is too big of an investment in both time and money to take that chance.

While looking at the first two episodes, I made some changes to the sound. Now, the music will adjust to the scenery; for example, at the club, the music will sound muffled when you go to the bathroom.

Someone mentioned that there's not much phone content yet, which is true. After season 1 (episodes 1-4) is completed and released here on Patreon, I will add content to the phone before it hits Steam which should be about a month after the Patreon release. This will also include new lewd scenes connected to Sergei's app, messaging, camera opportunities, and the new Lovelyfans app you will get access to in this episode.

I know many of you who support me here on Patreon also plan to pick up the game on Steam. This way, you will get quite a bit of new content if you do.

In total, we're at 13,156 animated frames and 2,146 story renders.

Have a nice weekend, and stay safe out there.

So, this is utterly trivial and unimportant - why is this game missing the VN label? Every other Renpy AVN game I play (except for pure kinetic novels) has that label.

I don't agree it's a sandbox game at all. There are free roaming elements, but so do many other VN games.

These freeroams are treated as sandbox.

There's a lot of sandbox in the game, and the most annoying part is cleaning the trailer. Just this alone would drive VN lovers away.

not forgetting beach scene, run from 1 side of beach to other side twice and meanwhile go to showers and meet nekkid girl and on next door grab few things to be delivered to various groups.
