Update and Peculiar Positions
🕑 Added 2022-08-12 02:47:29 +0000 UTCGreetings and salutations, it is i, the person who never capitalizes their i's. Bet you didn't expect that huh? Anyhow;
With the Terato update now being safely under control, i've been working on my own content with the PoV mod and helping the community with modding what they want, which is a fun learning experience, and always a new wall to bash my head against until it falls. It may not sound pleasant, but learning and figuring things out is a joy of it's own.
Now, granted, i don't have much to show sadly for the PoV side of things. A lot of assets i've been working with weren't quite up to par, and not only that, but new layers, misaligned images, the notorious "wobble", and more have been making me revisit many of the assets to polish them up. Not to mention it easily became way more than 2 sets of assets...
There are a total of 5 assets per set in the current build i'm working with, being normal body, penetrated body, "back", and the genital and pregnant layers. Doesn't look like much, but they're 9x the size compared to Sexbound animations. It may feel like "more room for error", but as an artist, you easily notice those errors, and they nag you until you "fix" them. Now make that 5 sets, for each sub-gender as well, and that's 25 layers, for just actor 2. Actor 1 also features a similar number of sets, with 4 layers each.
All these numbers pile up to 45 assets per race. Not that bad all things considered. Problem is, detailing the details. The floran's "leaf shawl", the Novakid's glow... These things take way more time than i expected. The pixel-art of Sexbound in comparison, for monsters, leaves plenty of room to make simpler choices. A single pixel's worth of space there, is 9 pixels here. A simple choice between a single color or another, becomes a deeper choice of patterns. It's quite frustrating... But a rant that is a tad bit unecessary, so i'll spare the lines here.
A couple other bits of news; Considering a GitHub. It was a tool that was very handy when i was part of the Sexbound team, and i can see it making life a lot easier for things going forward, but their stance is to not allow such types of content in their platform, making life harder. Alternatives are there, but are of much lower quality.
And also, would using this Patron for more frequent posts, and more "Rubber Duck" type of posts be something people would like to see? I assume most people don't read Patreon posts often, i know i wouldn't unless i got an e-mail from them, at which point, i'd be spamming ya'll...
Anyhow, that's all for now. Thank you all for your support, much appreciated as always! And remember to have a good time folks. Cya'!
