The Last Post of the Year!
🕑 Added 2018-12-30 13:58:26 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
Here I’m writing this for the 2nd time because Chrome + Patreon decided to fuck me deleting the text wall I’ve wrote. So, let’s start with the last post of 2018.
2018
The year is over… Man, time goes fly!
Looking back, we discovered that we’ve made more releases than we remembered during this year. Take a look at this:
- A Punishment for Mai V1.0.1 (finished)
- Punished Mai V2.4.4 (finished)
- Punished Mai GOLD edition V1.0.1 (finished)
- The Case of T - CG Selection (finished)
- The Case of T V1.0 (finished)
- The Case of T GOLD edition V1.0 (finished)
- Bioasshard V0.0.1
- Bioasshard V0.0.2
- Bioasshard V0.0.3
- RTP Ero-Adventures V0.0.2b public release
- Midnight Assault (finished)
- Heather X Pyramid Head Mini CG Set (finished)
- Bioasshard Secret Files: Failed Experiment (finished)
13 releases in one year, plus promotion for all of these releases, revamp of our Patreon page (a couple of times ^^U) and the extra content for some of these releases. Isn’t that bad for two procrastinators as someone called us.
It could have even been better, but since summer, we started with all the PC related shitty stuff (specially Meguido) and this totally cut our development pace. But you know, as someone else said, these are ‘excuses of failure’… Well, it’s a way to call that, when your PC crashes an average of 15 times during a day of work. By the way, we don’t need to put any excuses, we aren’t making a living out of this (unfortunately) if we talk about our problems (PC stuff or whatever) it’s cause it’s part of the development process of the projects and we want to maintain our Patrons and followers informed and then, is the fact: we have made 13 releases in a year.
13 releases are a lot but I want to surpass this the next year. This doesn’t mean that we’re going to rush any release, (we prefer quality over quantity) this is more like a motivational new year resolution and all the projects will have their cooking time. But more on this later on the post.
Flexible Early Access
Well this is a something that already has been happening since some time ago, so I can’t consider this a change but a confirmation. It’s an adjustment to how the Early Access works.
From now on, the different Early Access timing will depend on the kind of project, as we show on the following chart:
Notes:
- The public releases will depend on the project itself and taking into account that NOT all projects will have a public release.
- Hotfixes will ignore the Early Access.
- It’s possible that some special releases, like something special for Halloween, Holidays, etc. will ignore the Early Access too, but it will depend on different factors.
3D Art of the Week
This time the 3D render will be dedicated to Soul Calibur fans.
A little bit of Ivy always cheers everyone up.
Punished Mai Walkthrough Progress
I’ve done really an amazing progress on this, lately. Chapters 1, 2 and 3 are already finished!
Chapter 4 is on progress and taking into account that some of the more difficult parts are already written on the outdated Gameplay FAQ, I think it won’t take me too much to writte this chapter. I hope to finish it really early on next year.
Bioasshard Dev Report
New Area
I continue making progress on this, but I’ve found a lot of troubles updating from blocking stuff to final assets, because the scale of some assets doesn’t match really well. And I’m also fighting with the interior lighting. Meguido found some interesting Lighting tutorials for me. Now I only need the time to see them. ^^
Meguido
Meguido has been painting, programming and making some surprises, here is what he says:
Hey everyone!
I guess I won’t be spending too much time writing for this post… basically because I think MrVersusX will write enough for you all XD.
So, I finished with the sync markers adding process for the feet in every animation for now. Also fixed some problems with the aiming animations where it would pop-up with the smallest movement of the camera (this is something I don’t remember happening back in the old version).
Right now, I’m doing a lot of animation tweaks. Going back and forth between the DCC and UE4.
Also, already finished with the updating process for the AnimBP, all that left now is to keep adding the new stuff. Here you can see the difference between the old AnimBP’s Event Graph and the new one:
OLD
NEW
And apart from working on the infected I showed for the ScreenshotSaturday, I’ve been also working on adding something a lot of people asked us for… but to avoid any problem I can’t show it through here, so go our Discord and you’ll see it there in the Bioasshard channel.
And that’s all for now.
Have a happy new year everyone and thank you for being there!
Raikage X Kushina Mini CG Set Progress
This is almost finished, but I got stuck while working on the variations. I needed to make a mask on a layer but as I’m a noob with Clip Studio… Well, it took me some time to remember that Google still exits… finally, I learned how to make masks properly on Clip Studio ^^.
Working on some internal anatomy...
While I was looking for the way to do a mask, I discovered the animation tools on CS… and then I became an animator. You didn’t believe me? Continue reading…
2D Art of the Week
Look at this fucking masterpiece:
Is the first time I do traditional animation (frame by frame) hahaha
Impressive, isn’t it? I promise the next one will be a stick figure with boobs :P
Lessons Learned
‘Thanks’ to the Tumblr NSFW purge, we’ve learned that this kind of artists/creators can’t be dependent on one platform only. During 2019 we’re going to create some profiles on different sites and we will be revamping our blog (It will be a good place to put public posts and project profiles with information) and also, we will be looking for other ways to get support, other platforms aside from Patreon, which is already starting to show signs of following Tumblr’s path.
We will keep you informed about what we do.
2019
What will it bring this next year to us? Well, I have a new image for you, take a look:
Crazy, right? Well you know what they said: “who risk, wins”. So, be ready for an apocalyptic epic fail of incalculable proportions :P Also, take into account that as I’ve written on the image, this is stuff to be worked on during 2019, it’s not a releases list. So, it’s even possible that we only work one day of the year on one of those projects 😊 and for Bioasshard fanboys just keep calm and don’t kill us. Bioasshard continues to be our main project, at least, until it’s next release…
Some final words from the creators:
Mr.Versus X: A couple of these projects will be released soon ^^
Mr.Versus X: That road… the only thing I can say it’s: “it has nothing to do with Bioasshard”
Meguido: And I can add that it has nothing to do with some blue hedgehog…
Mr.Versus X: There is also some weird stuff, comics and a couple of reeditions of image sets… something easy :P
Meguido: It’s Personal… Well it’s really becoming personal with it taking so much time to get worked on.
Mr.Versus X: Maybe it’s because we 'hate' the main character... hahaha
Meguido: Of course, we’ll see a new release of Bioasshard next year! Don’t scare people like that XD
Mr.Versus X: Meh... The special case of Case of T: this project is already finished, but we announced the pubic release for the regular edition when we started with Waifustream… then after the Tumblr purge WS died and the Case of T came back to VXS… Well, explaining all this situation will take a long, so I’m only going to write what we’re going to do from now on:
- Release the Case of T for Eagle Patrons and later for Pigeon Patrons. (respecting the new early access timing)
- Public release of the regular edition.
- Then, create what we called the Case of T +, a new version with some new content only for Patrons.
- And finally, create the GOLD edition of Case of T+ for Fox Patrons.
Phew~ I hope it is understandable…
Meguido: Looks like someone is really obsessed with Tifa...
Meguido: Don’t lose hope on OiU. If everything goes well, we’ll have that release… lol
Mr.Versus X: I really need it!!! Only you know how many time I’ve been planning/working on it. It’s the project of my life ^^
¡¡¡Desde Versus X Studio os deseamos un feliz y próspero año nuevo a todos!!!
And that’s all for now, so I think it’s time to say goodbye… but before that, we want to thank all our Patrons: for all your support, for staying here and for your patience, so thanks, thanks and thanks and the best whishes for all of you amazing people. And for the rest of our fans and followers, have a happy new year!
