Glassix 2 - Dev Log #2
🕑 Added 2022-01-23 14:24:01 +0000 UTCHi everybody,
As said before, here is the video with my latest work on Glassix 2 which covers 4 main points:
- Eyebrows and Pubic hair texture extractions: This process is quite tedious and time consuming. I've only completed 7 or 8 skin textures so far and I have 31 more to go...
- Facial and skin details: Tattoos, moles, scars, pimples, freckles, makeup... It should add a lot more customization to the characters.
- Mods: This set up is still quite early but should introduce how easy it'll be to add new content in the game in the future, as well as all my future games.
- Translation: With both offline and online ways to translate, I'm hoping to have the game available in more languages. Many players struggle with English so this should help. Moreover, once a string has been translated, it'll be automatically reused for mods or other games using this same string. And it's plugged to Google Translate for lazy machine translation though it would take time to translate everything due to restrictions.
Last step before Glassix 2 v0.1will be to add the save/load feature for the female customizer. Though I say v0.1, it would only be a female customizer and no gameplay yet but it'll allow you to check the upgrade in quality plus test the online features.
I'm aware it's been 4 months since the last video and what I'm showing you doesn't match the time lapse. Several reasons for that:
- My work as web dev has been unexpectedly quite busy in October and November. Long story short, one of my customer died of cancer, his wife took back the business but had almost 0 knowledge about it and I had to help her. Plus once she got the hang of it, she noticed some huge flaws with the invoicing system I had work on with her husband leading to a lot of work to fix all this mess...
- The release of Lust Complex on Steam and DLSite took some time too. I had to create video, screenshots and prepare a lot of paperwork which is a hassle but required.
- Some unplanned optimizations, such as the Eyebrows and Pubic hair texture extractions. At the beginning, I didn't pay attention to it too much but once I got into it, I decided to go the hard way so that the models have the best customization possibilities as possible. Since I'll be reusing those in my next few games, it's better to have more variety and taking care of that as early as possible is better than later.
- Plus to be honest, some lack of focus during the festive period where I could have worked more :x
Anyway, I've been trying to reduce my web dev work so I can focus more on Glassix 2 and release the female customizer asap. After that will come the male customizer then the "Root" character editor and then with that completed, the actual game with the introduction of the scenarios, city exploration and more. I'll release a proper roadmap after I release the female customizer.
Sorry again about the slow pace of development for Glassix 2. I have a lot of ideas to make this game better than Glassix and something fresh and unique among the adult games which nowadays seem to lack proper gameplay. So I'm also taking my time with it to make sure I create a stable foundation to build on in the future. But it the long run, it will definitely pay off ;)
Thanks for your patience and support!
