Progress
- Particles... 100% DONE... ← Now everything plays in sync with Audio and Animations!
- Bust Icons... 100% DONE...sort of??? ← Now every time a character talk they're bust icons are displayed, its fully functional and working, all I have to do is make new icons based on the emotes of the bust and attach it to it an then its finished, for what we have rn it'd take 2 seconds but I been grinding out the more important shit!
- Sex Animations... 100% DONE...FOR THE DEMO ← The demo currently has 3 FINISHED, ANIMATED, WITH SOUND EFFECTS, PARTICLES, AND DIALOGUE SUPPORT!
- UI Improvements... 100% DONE... ← I have designed a Style Guide for myself and Have been implementing it into every UI Feature we CURRENTLY have at the moment
- The Opening's... 99.9999999% DONE... ← THE OPENING HAS BEEN THE LONGEST FUCKIN PAIN IN THE ASS FOR ME IN TERMS OF BUG FIXING, DEVELOPING, IMPROVING, AND CUMMING!! I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW HUGO MARTIN FELT ABOUT FINALLY FINISHING THE OPENING FOR DOOM
- The Menu System... 25% DONE... ← We are in the Concept, and Early Implementation phase at the moment, but I can share the concepts and designs we planned or are planning
- Autoplay Toggle System... 100% DONE... ← a big QoL FEATURE FOR THE GAME! With it enabled, the game will autoplay dialogue so you can jerk off to your hearts content!
Particles
The Particles I felt were one of the most IMPORTANT parts for the sex stuff, its basically the the topping that complements the ENTIRE base of the sex stuff, whether its the Animations/Busts/CG's
Body Collision Particle Effects
I had to take it a step further and add another type of Particle for the Sex Animations as it wasn't hot enough, so I added a random percent chance, where a particle will trigger.
Tiny particle speech bubbles can also appear, there are 3 other types that can spawn!
Moan Particle Effects
These same Particle Effects are also used in the normal Visual Novel CG Scenes, which you'll see later on!
Bust Icons
This is also another Quality if Life/Game Enhancement, as you watch whose talking, sometimes you just don't wanna look at the bust art, you just wanna read whose talking, an know what face their making, I expedited this visual process by just having Animated Icons of whose talking, and using that same bust thats being used, and using a minimized version of it with just the face being in the portrait.
Sex Animations
I'm gonna be honest, I really don't wanna share them, the demo will possibly be relatively short sex content wise, and since sex is the main thing, I don't wanna spoil it yet, Ill be more open with sex content after the demo release but I'll show frames from it!
We Have 3 animations total right now, with 3 Animations States in total! But your 1st Actual Sex Animation has 4, the most important, being how horny the penetration animation is since this will be your only actual Sex Animation at this time....
Also completely added sound effects with these, the cool thing being that these Audio sounds have varied types that play along with the sex and sync with particle effects and the animations themselves to give a fuckin sexy horny feelin B)))))
There is also 2 other features, the Sex Dialogue System and Cum Meter
Sex Dialogue: It will be a random pool of a dialogue based on strict Conditions, where the same dialogue wont be said twice, its based on relationship you choose, time of day, cooldowns, how much money, how much progress, etc... Zack will never talk as that's too intrusive for my taste, so instead we will use a narration dialogue box instead!Cant show much yet, since there's an update Plourdy has to do to fix the right Animations states to use the relative dialogue pool
Cum Meter: An important part of the game, its what determines the speed of the animations based on how full it is, you can also decrease the speed of the animations as well to suit your tastes!
UI Improvements
There's alot of Overall Improvement and Style as I get to know my tastes and this game for what really makes it stand out, Ive learned how to better structure shit and design a base style and then populate it with art and then refine it outside its own canvas
There's been several improvements Spanning ingame Dialogue Speech Bubbles, Bust UI, Sex UI, and ingame UI
New Sleek Speech Bubble
Fingering Sex Icon
Blowjob Sex Icon
Doggystyle Sex Icon
Combined together they make a nice UI Concept of what the Sex UI could look like
(Made in Drawing Program) Concept for Sex UI
The Current Base UI is very fucking Old and VERY FUCKIN SHIT, so I decided to try updating it, here's the concepts in Chronological Orderrrrrr
Still in the works, but we're leaning on making her stats only show up when talking to her to reduce Clutter
This is closer to a final Product I feel in terms of the UI
When you don't talk to her!
Also a notification system will be in the works!
The Opening
The Opening cut scene's has been the most biggest pain in the ass for development, getting it absolutely perfect is so fuckin important for a first impression, and I'm pretty much very fuckin close to being done the opening cutscene/intro to the game. Once this is done we'll focus on a game play loop to level her up to level 2 and then release the demo for all to enjoy!
Menu Concept Art
In game Pause Menu, will be tailored to in game shit I can go in depth about this menu but I'm not to sure what would be in and what would be cut, Ill save that for next time!
This was such an old menu Im just showin it so someone sees it lmao
Combining the Pause Menu with the Options Menu
Alpha UI Video Settings
Alpha UI Sound Settings
The Fuckin Conclusion
So alot of progress has been made in the past 2 months, this progress will set up an almost template,style, and theme that can be reused throughout development. With this stuff soon to be out of the way, I can start focusing on populating the game with shit to do!, the foundation for this game is almost done, gameplay will be coming soon!
