Development Report 11/12/2018
🕑 Added 2018-11-12 13:46:38 +0000 UTC Hi Patrons!New Dev Report here!
Project Cancellation! ... ???
OK, people, just calm down... the title is just a small part from a lot of some nonsense stuff the we have been reading lately about us and our projects especially about Bioasshard.
So, throughout this and future posts, we will try to clarify these misunderstandings or dismount these lies.
The first stupid thing we've found is people saying the Bioasshard is cancelled... well as you can see the project isn't cancelled, those are simple hoaxes spreaded by certain people who don't have access to posts for patrons (in which we talk about the development progress) and need a new version of Bioasshard, desperately. Cause, yeah, they're only interested in this project.
Another thing I want to add about this is, if, for whatever reason, we're forced to cancel ANY of our projects we will announce it here for everyone, clearly, so nobody can have doubts. We're not going to to run with the money ... (well we don't even have a 'money' to run with hahahaha)
Waifustream
For people interested on Waifustream that doesn't are on Discord we have some new info for you:
We have a logo:
You can see more info about this here.
Also here is some info on the status of Waifustream, it's a bit outdated but still valid.
Punished Mai Walkthrough
Well I started to play the game again and also looking on the project files in order to write the walkthrough. I'm just at the begginning of chapter 1 but hope to make some interesting progress during this week.
The Future of Punished Mai Universe
Ummm... Lots of things happened lately...
I'm very excited about all of this stuff and the course of this project but...
It's too soon and I don't want to spoil anything ^^
It's NOT our fault
Well another of the shitty stuff like I mentioned above on the post: This time is some kind of 'confrontation' we had on our Discord server some days ago, specifically the day we published the Waifustream logo.
There was an user who seemed not to agree with the fact that we shared the link to the Waifustream logo using the @everyone tag. Someting we always do with the important posts on our projects.
This user not only disrespected us and our projects but also spoke for everyone (something like a superior being huh?) saying that all or almost all users on the server are there only for Bioasshard.
I have 2 thing to clarify about this:
1-We already know that a lot of people came for Bioasshard but there are also other people interested on our other projects. Hell, even some of the people in there aren't interested on Bioasshard at all but in some others.
2-We're devs/artists with various projects in progress and as such, we must promote all of them and not only the one that already has more followers or is better known or your favourite one. ALL OF THEM. So as the title said it's not our fault. It's nor our fault if you're only interested only in one of our projects.
Meguido here to tell the same words I told that user: "If any user has any problem with the way things are posted in our Discord, the solution is pretty easy and it's not a door pretty far from a couple clicks"
Bioasshard
Before starting, we want to share a render gallery made by Apocrypha (Apocrypha Futa & Dickgirl Vids) with some Jill and Claire sexy stuff that he made for his patrons and shared with us and our patrons very kindly. So please, check it out.
Now let's go:
New Character
Well as noone has said a thing about it after the Bioasshard Secret Files comic release I'm going to comfirm it here.
The girl, main character of the comic, the one that looks like Rebecca ^^ will be a playable character on Bioasshard. (on the main game not on the Arena)
So rejoice Rebecca Fans :)
Confirmed Characters until now: Jill, Chris and Rebecca.
The Man is Back!
I mean... Meguido is here with some hot info:
Hello everyone!
Well in the latest weeks I've been working a lot on the new implementations to the movement system. Fixing a lot of problems with the animations for the new Jill. Basically what worked for the old one, gave a lot of clipping issues for the new one, so had to work on more than 200 animations (Yeah, I didn't notice we had so many animations already in the project lol).
After fixing them, I had to reimport & reimplement them in the new animation blueprint.
One thing to note is that we're getting rid of root motion, so everything should be smoother now in terms of animation transitions. This said, don't expect perfect animations tho, because we're not animators lol.
With that done, everything in terms of animations is fully working now with the new Jill (until now I couldn't jump up or down, climb ladders or even equip a weapong from the menu, because of the animations still pointing the old Jill, but not anymore). Meaning I can play through the entire level once again.
So went to other stuff like upgrading all the UI as you could see from the latest ScreenshotSaturday and this screen below where you can see the new look of the inventory as well as some other stuff we've been working on... (did you notice the camera btw? xD).
The other system that we implemented is the crosshairs. Yeah, it was getting really hard to make the animation aim to the center of the screen without an IK system for the hands (like the expensive ikinema one) so we decided to get rid of the laser sight system and put a crosshairs system in its place.
Now onto an important thing. About the two past ScreenshotSaturday posted (the one with Jill walking on the new area and the one with her aiming with the gun showing the crosshairs system in place). Are they really that dark? I mean, I can see them perfectly on my PC but then MrVersus X told me they're almost black for him. Also mentioned me that some people are reporting the same on discord. So I was wondering if that's a real problem for everyone and I'm the only one seeing them like a day-scene. My PC monitor is on its default values and the driver custom image configurator panel shows the brightness on default value as well: 50%. So that's the point for this poll, to let us know if you can or can't see the latest 2 ScreenshotSaturday pics.
That's all for now from me. Thank you for your patience and for being there :D
New Poll: Are the screenshots above really that dark for you?
As Meguido said, we need to know this, so vote on the poll, please.
Character Names
OK we need your help here.
In order to avoid as much as possible the infamous C&D letter we're taking several measures and one of them is to change the character names.
And this is a really difficult task ^^
So we're requesting your help here: suggest (parody)names for the characters, no matter if the character is already talked for the game (Jill, Rebecca and Chris) or not (Leon, Ada, etc) basically because we won't spoil the game characters yet xD.
Just put the real name and the parody name/s at his side. It can be serious or funny names (but not too stupid). Put it on the comments below or in the discord server.
If we get enough names we'll do some polls for patrons to decide the final names.
Nunca te abandonaré
Nunca te fallaré
Well I think that's all for today, don't forget to vote and to suggest names.

Versus X Studio
Hats off <3 Seriously, you wrote an epic comment there :) About that guy, well as far as I know he's not even a patron (he joined on discord with no rank at all), which makes it worse. He came one day and the day after he did that lol. Anyways we just wanted to clarify what we do in case anyone else had doubts about how we use the @everyone tag on discord, didn't try to give any attention to that user at all. And yeah we love criticism too, the more detailed the better ^^. It helps us develop our projects. Dunno why negative comments have to affect more than possitive ones but still they do hahaha. These damn brains XD. Thank you very much for your suggestions. Took note of them all. I also thought of Clara as an option for Claire's :D #WeAllLoveJill
Versus X Studio
Thanks <3
Versus X Studio
Thanks! I'm glad you like all the new features we're working on :D. Looks like Meguido's the only one seeing the night-scene screeshots like they were a day-scene lol.
Icarus Media
Ooh I got a mention! Thank you. As regards the post: Lighting I would suggest a setting within the game options. I've found different monitors and screens have different gamma levels. When I ported my work from my old laptop the colour drained out of most of my models so I had to saturate them more than I did on my old laptop. That or patrons could adjust the screen themselves in their computer settings. Asshole Patron. There is always one, I've had it, you've had it. We've probably all had it in real life. That one guy or girl with an entitlement mentality, I found it much easier to be upfront and honest and simply refund them and state you don't want to do business with them. The grief, worry and internal stress is never worth it. See this comes from telling people 'Everyone is entitled to an opinion' but forgetting what follows that '...but not every opinion is equal'. Ask this guy, or girl what WORK they have done? Ask them what SACRIFICES in TIME & MONEY they have made to MEET DEADLINES, ask them are they still LEARNING & developing their SKILLS? Or are they just doing what they did last year, and the year before that. Stuck in a dead end, feeling internal frustration and taking it out on you, the MORE SUCCESSFUL person. I remember the line 'People who say it CAN'T be done...should NOT interrupt the person DOING it'. This is YOUR work, YOUR journey and more importantly YOUR effort. That said I love criticism if it's constructive, If it's detailed enough I can do something with it. One of my patrons suggested more kissing scenes, so the next video had some kissing scenes. One guy wanted Aliens, so I made a whole 30min+ video just for him, but if someone is just bitching and moaning. We don't need that kind of negativity. You can have 100 nice patron comments and then you read 1 negative one and BAM! Knocks you for six. Like I said it'snot worth the worry. Critics mean you are DOING something. 'If you don't want critics, say nothing, do nothing and be nothing' - I forget who said this, my bad. Names. Jill - Jane Ada - Anneta Chris - Kyle Rebecca - Becky Claire - Clara Leon - C**t, but in all seriousness 'Liam' Enough to be distinguished for the purposes of Law but at the same time there is enough that you can recognise them. Anyway regardless lets all unite in our love and appreciation of Jill and her shapely ass....ets. :-)

i agree with this, keeps it simple and familiar.

About the names, we could try getting them with the same inicial letter so for example* jill = jane * ada = ana. *chris = curt. *rebecca = roseta *claire = clarice * leon = lonie.
2Bornot2B
Great job guys keep it up, cant wait for the next update.
Boyahh
Images are REALLY dark for me. Even when I turn gamma up, they are really dark. Other than that I love the UI and new features you are implementing. Getting real excited now.
