WIP May - Part 2.

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. I have some really exciting stuff to show you I this post that’s all to do with new features and things I’d like to add and then also some other new stuff like the new character, outfits etc like what I normally show. Anyway I’ll start off with the new character as that’s probably what you most want to see.

New Character - Emma Frost

Starting off I wanted to say this poll has gone really well. I know some of you might have wanted another character but overall I think it was a very close poll and had a change of how was winning a couple of times which is very nice to see. Its also had a very good response from people to do with some of the other characters who will again get their chance to win a poll in the future and be added to the game. That all being said Emma Frost was the character who has one and I’ve have a very fun time drawing her. I have got both her heads done but let me know what you think. Mainly colour wise as I was trying to get her hair looking perfect but if you see anything else that could look better let me know as well. One thing though for her hair, I have added some detail shadow lines similar to how I did with Mercy but if you would rather I can just do it as normal colour, I might get a variation of that to show people and see what everyone thinks.

I am going to be getting her added to the the first batch of scenes like I normally dow tie new characters.

For her audio I have also got a new voice actor who is getting the audio ready for her. I think for her I am going to have the spoken words and normal audio in their own parts so that it will be easy to add the toggle that lets you choose between the two in the future. To start with it will have both but I plan on adding the spoken words as another option to the audio customisation in the pause menu like how I have with the “Soft” and “Soft Slow” options.

Now for the quest line, I asked a lot of people about this as there are three ways I can do this each with good things about them. Firstly I haven’t done a character that you can unlock with coins for a while so thought this might be a good one to add, could fit in well with her character but mainly would give me more time to focus on some other things as adding the quest does take a lot of time. The next option is to add her like I normally would with her own location, standing image and some dialogue to make it a full quest. The final option is kind of in-between where I have her location and dialogue but have a kind of holder outline for her character image just as that is what take the most amount of time to draw. This last way would still give me a decent amount of extra time to work on some other stuff for the update. The standing image would also get done at a later date, probably when I do a lot at once as there’s some other characters who’s are missing so would be best to do them all at once. Let me know what you’d like though I don’t mind either way.

Finally, I speak about this a bit more below, I thought it would be a cool idea to add the new hair feature I put in the latest feature focus poll. Obviously if that wins I will be adding it to a lot more characters and really trying to get it looking as good as possible but I thought it would be nice to add it to at least once character just so you can see how it looks and also so I can check how it works performance wise. I have added it as a toggle just so if you don’t want it or it does cause performance problems you can toggle it off and it will be off by default so if you’d like to see it you can toggle it on in the customise menu. Here is a little thing of how it could look but you’ll see it better when she gets added to the scenes.

More Speed Sliders and Auto C*mbar In Scenes

This is following on from the last update where I added some more speed slider options to some scenes and also some the auto C*mbar to more scenes.

Starting off with the speed sliders I have added these to 5 more scenes. Here are some of them.

I will try and get them added to some more in any time that I get as I think people are really liking them.

Next moving onto the auto C*mbar I have added that too 3 more scenes and a couple of them have the F*ta C*m as on option so when the bar fills you can toggle that on and it will play.

NOTE - There are still a couple of bugs with this i need to fix to make it look and work as good as possible but that will come in the update :)

I’m not 100% sure how this will work with the cr*ampie. I know you won’t be able to have the F*ta Cm and Squ*rting happen at the same time just as there would be too much going on and everything would be overlapping but I think the cr*ampie should work but I’ll test it out a bit more.

Again with these I will try and get it added to some more scenes, I would really like to get both of these added to all the scenes as soon as possible just so everyone can enjoy them. Let me know what you think about them though and I’ll continue to work on them.

New Hair Animation

I speak about this a bit more in the feature focus poll and it is one of the options there so if its something you like the look of you can go there to vote on it but I’ll speak about it here as well. Basically for a while the hair movement has kind of just been up and down which looks good but could look better.

This one as a lot more advanced code wise which makes it look really cool the only thing I am thinking is performance stuff. I have added a toggle so you can toggle it off but from what I can see it should be fine on all devices I just want to add the toggle incase there are any performance problems.

Anyway there are still things I need to change to get the hair looking perfect but I can work on this and with your feedback get it looking as good as possible.

This will also be really cool for scenes where there’s head rotation and also where the head moves in more of a circular motion. From above you can see when the head moves to the side it kind of flows a lot nicer so I really hope this all works out and even if it doesn’t win in the poll I will try and slowly add this to some characters and we can go from there :)

Scene Transitions

I speak about this as well in the feature focus poll so if you want to go and vote for it there you can.

This option was suggested by one of you a couple of months ago and got a lot of people really liking the idea so in that time I have got some sketches done for what this could look like.

Basically it will be an option to move from one scene to the next if they are in the same room with a little animation between. At some point I could also have this auto happen after a certain amount of time if you want to toggle that on or just leave it as a button you have to click.

These animations will be in half so the in part will be used for when its transitioning into a new scene and the out part will be used when its transitioning from a scene. Hopefully that makes sense.

The scenes I have started with are the Rev C*wgirl (Back) And D*ggy Scene. In the future though I will have it so you can go from whatever scene you want to any other scene in that room as each will have its own animation that will transition to the next.

New Outfits - Generic And Unique

So starting off with the generic I have gone for some more legwear items as people really seem to like them. Last update I had to choose between the Jack O scene and the M*ssionary V2 and went with Jack O as I thought it could do with some more outfits however for this update I have added some to the M*ssionary V2.

In total I have added 8 some of them have torn options.

For these leg options I have added them in parts so you can toggle the lower and upper parts together which should mean they can be used with other leg items if they fit and don’t overlap.

I do think this are really cool to do and just add more customisation to scenes as well as working with all characters which is always nice but let me know what you think.

Now onto the unique outfits. I have updated the Legs Spread On Desk outfit code so this will now be on the way to adding the unique outfits. I won’t be able to add the feature that lets you use any outfit with any character yet but when that option wins in a feature focus poll I’ll be able to get it added in.

Anyway I would like to get at least a few outfits added to this scene, two of the ones I was thinking would be quite good are these.

Let me know if there’s any others you’d prefer or would also like. However I do think it would be better to start with some more simple outfits just while I get good at drawing them in this scene and making sure everything syncs up well.

I would also like to add some more to the D*ggy Close Up scene if I have some time. There’s a couple here I would like to do just to practice and get better at adding them here although this scene would also be a really good one to get some generic legwear in so let me know if you’d prefer that.

Characters Added To Scenes

For this update I thought the best thing to focus on scene wise would be to get some more characters added to the newest scene. I was able to add 10 so far which I think is quite a good amount as I will also be added a decent amount for Emma Frost which should be nice.

If I get any more time though I will try get some more added to this scene or maybe try get a few more of Charlie added to some scenes as that could be quite nice to have.

Let me know what you think of these though and hopefully well have all the characters in this scene very soon.

Adding Hands To New Scene, Making Quest Easier, More Background Themes

Last update came with the new scene which people are really seeming to enjoy. As it took quite a while to add though I didn’t have time to add the hands for the guy and said I would get them done soon or in the “Scene Things” update next time that wins a feature focus poll. I just wanted to quickly ask again her if that’s something you’d like to see get worked on now instead of waiting for a “Scene Things” update.

Here is how the hands will look and I will make it so they work in the same way as the b*ob play where you can click on the character to enable them. If you’re happy to wait though I can add them in later. The hands can also be placed either way around.

Now onto the quest, a couple of people have said part of the quest was a bit hard or took a bit too long to do so I am going to make it a bit easier. I am going to lower the amount you need and also lower the level needed from 3 to 2 which should make it easier to complete. I thought because it was quite a late quest it would be nice to have you kind of progress towards it but I might have made it a bit difficult so if you haven’t completed it then next update it will be easier.

Finally the backgrounds. For the last update I only had time to get the basic theme done. In this update I have managed to get all the themes done which looks really nice. Here is a couple of them for you to look at and the rest you will be able to see when the update comes out :)

New Character Head Designs

Following on from what I have been doing for ages now, every update gets at least one character head design and recently we have been moving onto different variations of characters. For this update I would really like to get Carrot done as a lot of people have been asking for her.

However there’s two others I think would be cool so if I get time after Carrot I would like to do either Chun Li or Yor Forger, just let me know which one you’d prefer and I’ll get that done :)

Still Images And Image Animation

I’ll try and keep this one quick but for the still images this update there is going to be two. The first one is going to be of Harley which I have the base colour done for and you can see below.

The next is going to be for Gwen and I have the sketch which you might have seen before and I will be working on getting the colour done for this one soon. Both of these I think look really good and its nice to start seeing characters getting more than one image.

Next for the image animation, this won’t be coming in the next update as I’m going to stay with having it come in the mid month update as I think that works best for everything but the image I am going for I the next ones this one of Aqua. 

Let me know what you think though I was also thinking of doing the power one where she’s kind of on the table but I don’t mind, which ever you’d like to see.

Updates To Hole 3 - QOL

This is just some very quick QOL stuff. I spoke about this a bit in the last update but at some point, if it wins this feature focus poll thens sooner, I’m going to add the multiple character in this scene like how it works in Hole 2. To do this I have to set up the code so everything can be loaded in on its own which does take a bit of time so I thought it would be nice to start setting this up now.

There’s nothing for you to really see yet but just for the next update make sure everything in this scene loads well and there aren’t any problems. Another good thing that comes from this anyway even if I don’t add the multiple character for a while should be the file size. This should reduce the file size for the game and also make it just run a bit better which is always a good thing.

Anyway I think that’s everything I had to show you, please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions about anything and I hope you’re looking forward to what’s to come.

Thank You
