Hey everyone,
First, the big news: all of the animations are finally done. Holy crap, that took a while. You'll all be able to look forward to the four H-events and 12 animations next weekend for the early build team! Including the H-events, we're looking at around 10 events total for the upcoming release. Still not as much content as I would like, but the new lighting and improved animations took a lot of time. I hope you'll all enjoy them!
For the upcoming week, I'd actually like to do some work on the back end. I've started getting a lot of requests for an official Android version of the game, and so I'd like to work on that as well as the usual bug fixes and maintenance. There's also been a clamoring for a compressed version of... uh, all versions of the game. I'm not quite sure how to do that, but I'll look into it! I want to make Superheroes Suck as accessible as possible for you guys. I don't know how long this process will take, which is why I've reserved the last week of development for it, but if I finish early I'll just go back to churning out renders. There's always more to do!
For everyone that saw the MILF Update post earlier in the month, I've decided that I want to go back and do some touch-ups on Missus Powell to bring her more in line with the other girls' visual fidelity. She was the third ever character added to the game (the protagonist was first with Harper second, for those interested in the trivia), and has received fewer improvements because she isn't one of the main four driving the story. This is a good time to do it, since the lighting changes my software had... well, they had the effect of ruining all of my old environments. Before, if I wanted a render in the classroom, I just needed to load that and then the model. Now I need to redo the lighting in every environment. I'm still happy that it looks better overall, but it is contributing to a slowdown in production. In the future, I plan on fixing this by just updating all the environments in one, Herculean swoop over the course of two or three days. Since I'll be redoing everything anyway, I might as well throw the character update in there as well!
I'm also thinking about redoing Sumire in her entirety. She's at a point where you only see her in two events, so I'm hoping to replace those and fix it that way. In general, I'm just not very happy with the model, and I think I can do a better "Asian MILF" character.
The more I think about it, I might tackle the MILF changes if I finish early with the back end updating this week. I'll post pictures of before and after shots to keep you all in the loop (as was requested!), and I'll have a poll at the end to decide if we make the switch. If I don't finish it early, we'll just do it during the next update cycle. My primary focus is still on completing Version 0.60 so that you all can play it!
