Ultimate Fusion: Random Generation Testing - News & Updates (Release date)

Hello treasured patrons!
It's that time again! we have all the juicy updates ready to share.

(Random Fusion Generator Tester Page - release details below!)

We have been...

• Implementing and editing the 94 characters to fit the latest generator version
• Busy improving the character addition process to make adding characters quick and easy (because we want to add as many of your requested characters as we can)
• Trimming the fat on the generator to allow it to run faster and easier to debug

Until now we have basically... 

continued the following process over and over in search of a fully functioning  generator.

For the first time we are happy to report that there are nearly no incompatible character parts in the latest version of the generator!

More..

In case you forgot we deliberately added characters that are hard to fuse in order to produce a fusion generator that can accept any character.

We have finally arrived at a generator that produces clean and compatible combinations! (ready for use to cherry pick (via algorithm) the best possible fusions).

IMPROVEMENTS / FIXED ISSUES

(just a select few of the 100s of corrections / modifications)

Beards
We have found a way to add beards to characters and it looks pretty good!

Smart Foot Resizing / Flipping / Borrowing

This detects the angle of the leg and tries to match the best foot angle by either flipping the foot or even copying the opposite foot.

Blending the Face with the Head
Smart coloring compatible with masks and heads that are not skin covered.

Belt Over-hang Cropping

Does what it says on the box, it crops the part of the legs that peaks through the top of the belt.

Legs Gap

Fills in the gap for legs that have a long gap from the waist.

Belt Size Corrections

Belts were never stretched but now limits can be set for characters that cannot have a very tall belt.

Foot Layering Corrections

Foot layering was an issue especially with characters like Pikachu (where the feet go under the legs, but most feet need to also stick out!
so we had to code a compromise)

Head Sizing Issue

We have changed the head size to prioritize the size of the face instead of the head/hair (and it has fixed a lot of head sizing issues)

OTHER

Fixed Leg Overlapping (when feet are close together)

Feet that were close together would often overlap incorrectly so the legs are on separate layers now.

Faster Leg Warping

At the same time we corrected the leg overlapping we minimized the area required to be warped as much as possible so characters will load a lot faster!

Horns and Ears Have Been Revamped

7 fixed positions for horns with 3 size options have been added to make horns and ears fit cleaner.

Quick version updating

We have made it easier and quicker to create a sharable BETA so we will be able to share hands on versions with you more easily.

Announcement Of Generator Testing!
All 94 characters 1 Random button

We are happy to announce a BETA page for trying the first fully functioning version of the Ultimate Fusion Generator!

Clicking the "RANDOM" button will generate a random combination of parts that follow the new algorithm to ensure the parts fit correctly depending on the needs of the character! The possible results are in the millions and it is very addictive!

We plan to release this playable version to patrons in order of VIP tier level.. -------->LATER NEXT MONTH <--------

We still have a few things to do for each character related to colors and tags but we hope to keep to be able to keep to the deadline.

We have added bunch of images to this post of some of the randomly generated combinations you will be able to create yourself soon.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Next we are concentrating on making the "fusion" algorithm for the actual fusion generator and cleaning up the character editor (not much more to go!)

BACK END STUFF

New Parts Control Panel

This allows us to quickly fine tune the generator by limiting parts that do not work on a character, and the generator is designed to automatically work around the limitations

(for example if middle horns don't look good on a characters head we can fix it in a few seconds with 0 coding)

Improved Color Updating Speed (Unreliable Function Patch)

There were bugs with colors not updating that slowed down a LOT of progress and allowed for errors so we essentially patched that!

Drastically Improved Exporting Speed and Optimized the process (Unreliable Function Patch)

Exporting the characters was often a game of luck but now we have removed about 3 or 4 steps from the process not only making it faster but saving hours and hours of time.

Thank you and look after yourself

We appreciate your support and incredible enthusiasm.
Remember you can always PM us to talk about any ideas, requests, and questions (anything really)
We love your input and look forward to seeing what amazing things we can create together.
YOU ROCK! d==(^_^)==b
