🕑 Added 2024-02-23 15:20:47 +0000 UTCGood afternoon,
While writing this I'm currently trying to get a moving Background working... If that somehow works out I'll post a preview later when the rendering process is done.
Anyway, lets talk about the past week. I've mostly been working on positions and transitions for the characters around the old boar inn. So I've added daily cycles for Carmen, Bjorn, Kate & Claire and made travelling between Arenfield and the old boar possible. It didn't work the way I wanted it to at first, and it took a few attempts before it looked more or less the way I wanted it to.
The problem was that moving the wagon diagonally was not animated as I had imagined. Especially when driving around a bend, this required a bit of trickery, as such movements are simply not intended for such large objects as a wagon with the engine. Another problem I encountered was the on the road animation of the wagon. I had the idea to make the wagon stop at some point (In case you get ambushed by bandits for example). But it seems that this is not possible without creating an additional map for it. Which is a bit of a shame, but since I want to add something like that, I'll have to do it this way. But since this will also include more scenes, I'll have to postpone it until next month, as it would far exceed my deadline, which is next week Thursday. So I already know that I want to extend the part of the journey between Arenfield and the old boar after the 0.5.7.5 update, but for now the goal is to make it functional.
Back to the actual travelling: the first time you do that it involves some more dialog but after that you can either trigger it directly at the wagon or at night when talking to Kate. I've also worked on an introduction when arriving the first time at the old boar.
The thing that is now still unfinished is the scene for Kate & Claire that I wanted to add to the inn after you arrived there. This is something I'll work on in the coming week.
Another smaller thing I worked on this week was a change to Emily's scene. There is (was) a problem with triggering Frisha's nightly visit. The scene requires Emily to have 2 orgasms, but in one of the animations there wasn't an actual orgasm implemented which made triggering the Frisha scene confusing for many. I've now added that and also put in an option to make Emily cum (similar to Mira's scene where you can do it to make Emily show up).
So the closer we get to the end of the month, the more I'm trying to get a functioning concept up and running. I hope I can do this by next Thursday, but bear with me if it takes me longer.
Ok, the image series I started at the beginning of writing this post is now done... It's not quite perfect yet, but at least good enough to give you a first impression (I'll put more work into it before I can actually put it into a scene). Anyway, made it into a .gif so that you get an idea what I want to achieve with it.
Ok... I'll now focus more on getting this working!
I wish you all a nice weekend!

That is not an option at the moment, but I will continue to follow developments in case the time comes one day.

I have a question . can you generate pictures with AI or something ? I mean if its possible your work become much easier .

It's a start, but as you can see the position of the road is shifting (should stay at the same angle) and also I'll probably double the amount of images to make it look smoother.
