UPDATE TIMEEEEE 3/8/2021 NEW SPRITE REDESIGN

OMFG ITS ANOTHER UPDATE POST WEEEEEEEEEEEE. 

Okay, if you been paying close fucking attention to development you know I was redoing Ashley and Zacks sprites right? Remember how I showed off Ashleys Sprite? 

ASHLEYS 4th REDESIGN: "FUCK"

Well after making it and then trying my hand at just drawing her I realized something...Her hair IS FUCKING HARD TO DRAW BECAUSE ITS A SPIKY HAIRED INCONSISTANT FUCKING MESS AND ITS SO FUCKING TIME CONSUMING TO ANIMATE. Seriously I get shes supposed tyo have messy hair but like, its not fun to draw, theres no consistant uniformity that makes her design stick and its all over the place. Honestly this game happened accidentally because Gabe, our programmer was transitioning to another job and my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and we decidied to just take a break for a few weeks or whatever then, me being a workaholic that I am decided to sesign 2 characters from my rpg maker game, threow them in game maer with shitty animations and try to make a quick game and buck. after shit got settled I told gabe about it and he wanted in, and because hes and experienced proigrammer and code for him is like breathing he managed to make all these systems that needed assets so I didnt put any effort into the character designs that much since everything has been a linear creation path for me. So after much debate and struggle I talked to all my close artists friends about redesigning her and bitching about how I didnt plan the designs out enough cuz I was to busy making shit. The Sketches that started a 4th redesign were these 

And then When I drew her bun everyone was getting fucking horny over it but I thought about all the asset Debt Id accumulate because of it. but the design was flawed to begin with, so the question was, "How much hell should I deal with?" I tried to recycle the existing 3rd redesign but it just wasnt looking good...

But this shit still having the same problem messy but insonsistant at the same time and just a bitch to animate! LIKE WHAT THE FUCK WAS I THINKING 

then I tried this and I felt like I was on to something and so did my friends so I kept asking for everyones advice constantly reiterating 

AND THEN BAMMMMM I GOT IT I FIGURED IT OUT, MESSY BUN HAIR OVER ONE EYE BUT STILL KEMPT FOR CONSISTANTCY SAKE. 

It was just a matter of picking and idle pose and what to go off of which was p time consuming cuz as decisive as I been, the design problem itself was a blow to my confidence because I did not wanna make the same mistake the 4th fucking time lmao

After being indecisive on the poses the porgrammer had an idea on the future of the idle poses 

So later when the situation calls for it, Ill go ahead and make more idle poses based on the situation for her! So after some thought I wanted to 2 different key poses for the walk and Idle that would emphasize her fat fucking titts so I decided to keep the arms crossed one but went a diff route with the walking.

The speed I was able to wip up these animations were fucking AWESOME I WAS SO HAPPY, why? Because her hair is simple nbut consistant and overall suits her character even more so than before! LIKE HOLY SHIT . After showing the designs off to the same batch of friends that hear me bitch everyday I decided to start cleaning up the lines to get a bet6ter feel of this new design I squeezed outta my twat.

I was even mor ehappy after doing all this and got to work right away with her, hers took some more time than ususal though because I was deciding how many frames to use for her animations, before each leg had 2 frames of animation for a total of 4 for her animation I /doubled it and even added blinking for her and this is what it [came out to be 

And thats basicallt her OFFICIAL 4th AND FINAL Redesign...I hope to never do it again now lmao.

The biggest thing now is her busts, I have some previews on what thats gonna look like now.....Jurry just has to redo a fat amount of coloring unfortunately

Zacks Redesign was straight forward and fucking easier than my ex-gf CHECK IT 

As for some under the hood stuff, check it

Particle Effects

With the new functionality of "Particle Effects" we can hnow have Onomonopeia's play over any piece of drawing or animation for added effect! the difficult part is juggling and tweaking the sex particles to get the point across but not be utterly intrusive.

Clothing System

WAT??! FRAME BY FRAME ANIMAOTION PLUS A CLOTHING SYSTEM ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY???!

Shut the fuck up your so fucking loud, and this is necesarry because you guys will be able to relax in the apartment so you guys should have your shoes off. So the way it works is if you ever go outside with or without ashley you both wiull have your respective shoes on 

Dialogue Trees

The most important component of this game now branches properly after trial and error and error and ERROR, but now shits all good, now alot of gameplay stuff lately because we wanna polishi and finish up[ as much systems as possible so these systems can interact nicely. 

Now that I have a better understanding of Ashleys Character designs I feel ALOT more comfortable with designing her interactions now. Remember to check the Trello as its updated every day and check my "In Progress" and "To Do List" on there for the most consistant things being worked on. Ide say game play stuff wont really jhappen until the relationship/money system is in place and the store is up and runnign as thats where all the game sandbox elements take place everything else is just consistant polishing with little addons to make the experience more unique and fun interaction and visual wise.

Ight  thats all from me for now gonna post a few other things on Patreon for Patrons only so if your not please consider being one or dont I dont fucking care man its your hard earned cash, your prolly get begged  times a day on the internet to like comment donate and subscribe, I wont do that as Ill let the product speak for itself and what Im doing
