Progress Report - June (Scene Poll, Features, Etc)

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all having a good start to your month. I have quite a few things to talk about with you here to do with what’s coming this month and also have some questions for what you’d like me to focus on to do with the head redesigns. There will also be some cool stuff to show you with the scene poll that’s coming this month so hope you’re excited for everything :D

Scene Transitions

If you didn’t get to see the feature focus poll from last month one of the new options was this feature idea suggested by a few people to have transitions between the scene that are all in the same room. This won by quite a lot and it seemed people were really interested in it which is nice to see as its always fun to try something new.

This is how they are looking so far. I have chosen to go for the D*ggy & Rev C*wgirl (Back) scenes first so you’ll be able to transition between these ones. Then the plan is to move onto the H*ndjob & D*epthroat next although I do have some ideas that could be a temporary transition for the scene that don’t have these full animations yet.

One thing to note though is these animation will have to be done at the same frame rate as they are in the sketches here. This has to be do for file size and so that they can actually be run without causing any performance problems as due to them being a close up they take up the whole screen and therefore the file size for them is a lot bigger.

Let me know what you think of these and I’m going to try and get some sketches done for more of these soon once we see how these ones come along.

Scene Poll June - F*otjob

Its been a long time now since we’ve had a f*otjob scene poll so thought it would be nice to get another one added in. In the last poll there was a few options that other people seemed to like which is nice so I’ll be adding those ones back in however I thought that 3 wasn’t enough to make it a really good poll so I’m going to add two more new ones.

Here are a couple of the current ones that will be in the poll which are very nice.

Then so far I have managed to get another sketch done of one of the new ones. This one is quite a cool position but I’m going to work it in a different way. So as the view is of the back I’m going to have a little “window” in the top left or top right corner that has the characters head, similar to how it is in the D*ggy Close Up (I have shown in the image) . I will also have it so you can toggle it off and just get a full view of the a*s. The reason for this is because as it is looking at the back I think having the head turned round in this scene might not look the best.

One other thing with this one. I have kind of left the a*s in a good view so that in the future I hope to add some v*g or an*l dldo options to go along with the scene.

Let me know what you think of this though. The next one I have planed is going to be some cool movement and a kind of close up but I hope to have that ready to show you in the next WIP.

Head Designs, Audio Or Features/Improvements?

Now this is the thing I need your opinion on and have some questions about. Basically for the last like year or so I think now I have been working on updating old character heads to look better and also adding in some variations of current characters.

I have been doing around 3/4 a month which has been fun to do and also allowed me to improve a lot on how I draw character heads however we’re getting to a point where there just isn’t enough characters that need to be redrawn or that have variations XD so I have some options for things I could do.

Firstly though I would still like to do these redesigns but I think the best thing would be to do 1/2 a month and then also focus on some other stuff which would mean I still get to keep improving my drawing while also adding some other things. Anyway the options are.

• 1/2 Head Designs + More Audio

• 1/2 Head Designs + Smaller Features Like Cmshots & Squrting

• 1/2 Head Designs + More Outfits (Generic & Unique)

• 1/2 Head Designs + New Background Themes

• 1/2 Head Designs + Go Round Improving/Updating Small Things About Individual Scenes

• 3/4 Head Designs But When I Run Out Of Head Do Update I Go Back And Just Do Slight Variations of Others (Hair Styles, Quality, Eyes Etc)

I don’t think I really need a poll for this I’ll kind of just see what you want int he comments and this won’t be a which ever one is most wanted gets done I’ll try and do all of them but the one it seems people want the most is the one I’ll focus on the most.

Outfits

For this month I would like too focus a lot on getting some legs spread on desk outfits done as I have updated this now to the new outfit system and will add in the Save/Load system soon. As this does how the new outfit system though that means when the outfit option next wins the feature focus poll I will be able to add the feature that lets you use any outfit with any character.

Anyway these are some of the outfits I would like to get done.

Let me know if there’s any other characters you’d like to see and I’ll get the sketches done.

I would still like to start off with some of the more simple outfits though just so I can keep getting better at adding them to this scene before moving onto some of the complex ones.

The next scene I would like to add the new outfit system too is the d*ggy scene. 

The D*ggy one shows outfits for Mercy & Mrs McPherson. The Rev C*wgirl (Back) shows outfits for Marceline & Mrs McPherson. This scene has a lot of outfits already which will be good for when I add the ability to use any outfit with any character to it however this does make it more complex to update the code. I think I’ll do this when that options wins the poll again so if you want I can add it back to the feature focus poll next month just let me know :)

Audio Updates

This is something I haven’t worked on for a while so I think ti will be a nice thing to work on over this month. I have lots more audio that’s ready to be synced up and added into the game so I’ll try and get a decent amount done.

However the main thing I wanted to speak about is how the lip syncing works. At the moment I have to do it all myself and like listen to the audio and try and get the right mouth at the right time which takes up a lot of time and after doing it for a few hours I start to like not sync it up the best XD anyway what I’m going to try and do is have it all work with code. So the code will be able to see how the audio looks and sync up the lips as best as possible. There’s only really 3 mouth so I think this should work code wise but I’ll have a go with it and see what I can do. If it works this will help to add audio a lot quicker and also should make it sync up better.

Still Images & Animations

Starting off with the images. As this is a feature focus update first I will be doing one of these images and then two more for the update after. Here are some of the options I have ready at the moment though so let me know if you like any of them.

There’s still some final edits and things I need to add to them to get them looking perfect but so far I’m pretty happy with how they look.

Now for the animation I will be getting this done in time for the next update. I am just setting everything up at the moment to make sure it can be animated and hopefully I’ll have something to show you in about a weeks time in the WIP post. Let me know what you think though and if there are any other images you’d like to see animated.

QOL

This is just a small couple of things but firstly I wanted to talk about the Hole 3 scene. This didn’t win the feature focus poll so I haven’t needed to update this scene to the new way of loading yet and there’s some other things I need to test out with it to make sure its all working well but I think I’ll get it done for the next update.

Now the next thing is quite a small thing but I have notice for some older devices when you load a new scene there might be a small bit of performance problems. I don’t think anyone has noticed this as the old device I use to test is very old so that’s the only reason I notice it however it might be a good idea to to work on improving it now. This would take a bit of time though so I probably won’t do it in the next update as there’s a lot of stuff I need to do but if you’re ok with I’ll spend a bit of time with the updates after just improving upon this.

That’s everything I think I had too say, there’s a lot of exciting stuff to look forward too over the coming months so I’m can’t wait to show you all everything :D Thank you though for all your support.
