Progress Update: Fur, Patterns, and Heads
It's been a while since my last post, but I promise I wasn't just sitting on my ass and playing video games. I just got a little too wrapped up in development and lost track of time.I've finished the head assets (minus some texture fixes). They have expressions, and can be morphed with t...
Refined Exo and Transformation Design
First, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who sent me feedback (or just "research materials"). It really helped me to refine the next patch. Since then, I've been doing a lot of thinking and experimenting, and I think I have a final design for how the new content will work. Overall, I...
Exo Experiments
I've started experimenting with different ways of handling the new exos, and I need data. Please let me know which of the following styles appeal to you. Unless there's broad consensus that something is terrible, I will try to include it as an option, so please only vote for things you would...
Version 0.20: OwO - Tentative Design
Now that 0.19 is finished, it's time for me to get started on 0.20. I know it's been a short voting period (I blame the holidays), but the winner is Exo Market II.This one is a bit out of my area, so I'm going to be relying heavily on you all (and a few gigs of... research material) to g...

Sneak Peek: Makeup
When I came back from my break and looked at the game with fresh eyes, the characters really stuck out, and not in a good way. It's long past time they got some serious work.With that in mind, I built a new makeup and tattoo system with a few different styles to choose from. Like the clothing sy...
Sneak Peek: New Face Generator
Holidays are over, which means development is back into full swing. Over the last few days, I completely rewrote the face generator, and I think it's finally ready to show off (along with one of the new hairstyles that will be in the next update).The new algorithm works by combining a library of...
Environment Preview: The Juvie Corporation
The Juvie Corporation makes its money by keeping captives alive until they're old enough to sell. They don't do any significant training, but make up for the low quality with colossal volume. And now their showroom isn't just your suite.In more "nuts and bolts" news, I've add...

Sneak Peek: Campsite
Hey all,As I mentioned in the patch notes, one of the focuses of this update is going to be building out 3D environments for all of the cutscenes. Here's the campsite from my favorite random event (taken during the day, before everything goes to shit).There are a LOT of these in the pipeline, an...
Sneak Peek: Dressing Room
While the game lets you commit some serious crimes against humanity, you can't yet commit any against fashion. I decided to fix that. The next update will add around 20 new outfits for slaves, and let you mix and match any of the (roughly) 60 available components of those outfits in any way you ...

0.17 Preliminary Design: 4X Overhaul II
It looks like we have a winner, so I took a break from 0.16 to do a bit of planning around 0.17.
