August 28th Update
Added 2016-08-28 03:35:38 +0000 UTCKnowing I had to get to it eventually, I spent much of this week learning about particle systems. This was something that I was completely unfamiliar with, but with a little learning time I'm getting the hang of it. Its actually kind of fun, as the animation work it does require tends to be fairly quick.
While I certainly have a TON more to learn, I was able to get a few simpler effects that I wanted completed, and have started on a few more. While I still need to build LOD's for the particle systems i have now, none are too heavy so it should be too much of an issue.

I did also take a moment to make a specific animation for the portal trap spell. You'll have to hold the cast button down until the spell is complete, otherwise it will cancel.
Next week my plans are to do some more particle systems, as well as finish all the animations for the tentacle trap spell.

alternate costumes and hairstyles isn't something I had originally planned for, but being how highly requested they are, its something I will include. Its likely it will be awhile before I do another though, as they are time consuming

2016-08-31 17:31:00 +0000 UTCI have question. I looked through the previous posts and I didn't find anything about it, so I believe nobody asked yet. Or I missed it, and well in that case, sorry for that. I was wondering if you are planning to add some basic customizations in the final version? Like different hairstyles or outifts (to find or to unlock, that could be fun) for Meridiana? Or something similar perhaps? I know there is currently two different outfits available, but since it's just a test build, I assumed it could be just a temporary outfit. And for the hairstyles, I saw that you used different hairstyles on some early concepts, so perhaps there is something to do with them?

2016-08-30 17:12:24 +0000 UTCYour game looks better with each update! Do you think we'll get to play around with the tentacle trap in the next build?

2016-08-30 16:41:23 +0000 UTCYeah, I haven't explained it yet. Its part of a quest that I haven't really explained yet.

2016-08-29 05:00:30 +0000 UTCHi MIthos, I may have missed it somewhere...did you ever write up anything on the purpose/role of the plants in the game? The awesome animation you did kind of portrayed the idea Meri was a little less than enthusiastic about sucking it.

2016-08-29 03:59:00 +0000 UTCThe goblins have a threesome, and a foursome, the trolls just have one threesome

2016-08-28 17:32:41 +0000 UTCHey, I just wondering how many 3-way combinations there are? there are 2 group scenes for the goblins. But 1 for the trolls? with the captain and non-captains have the same animation. Is there anymore I am missing?

2016-08-28 16:38:36 +0000 UTCNice work! For me, actually, the more important part is the subjective hero's and NPCs' part - I mean their facial, gesture, voice expressions reacting to the environment and each other (e.g. some smug male' faces (her enjoying face is pretty good), may be concideration to gradually change reactions due to corruption for her and to previous encounters with her - for them). But I hope of this part only in the future, saying this just as feedback FYI.

2016-08-28 12:51:35 +0000 UTCI do stream on occasion. I try to do so so when it's something interesting, but I still want to start streaming more.

2016-08-28 07:26:32 +0000 UTCGood stuff Mithos, little details like this will add so much to the look and feel of the game! I'm excited to see what you'll be able to do with these particles in a month!
