Hey all,
It's been a bit busy with two game projects running, but I have some updates on Quid Pro Quo that I wanted to share.
First off, you might notice that characters look a bit diff...

You all know the drill. This patch has major improvements to the sex animation engine, including fixes for your favorite bugs like "penises don't bend that way" and "Why do furanari ...
2020-02-29 01:12:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
There are a few patches left, but only one more that's going to have a vote: the Final Stretch Goal. This is the last one, so, I'm going to leave this vote up for a ...

Most of this patch is focused on fixing bugs in the... ahem... animation engine, but I'm also doing some new environments for existing events.
The goal is for most events that take place outs...
2020-02-15 21:17:21 +0000 UTC View PostI feel weird calling this a part of the "All Tied Up" 0.27a update because bondage gear is barely changed (I guess it was mostly stable). Instead, I worked on fixes for everything else (along with ...
2020-02-02 00:55:04 +0000 UTC View Post0.27 is currently building. It would normally be time to put the direction of 0.28 to a vote, but there's only one content update left in the plan. Before I get into the design, I want to touch on ...
2020-02-01 21:05:31 +0000 UTC View PostThere's nothing really graphically interesting about this patch, but here's the part of the changelog I'm most excited about: The Rules Assistant works again, after a long time spent fixing bugs th...
2020-01-28 01:02:04 +0000 UTC View PostThis one is a doozy. In addition to the new clothing, I ended up running through about 60% of the bugs and community improvements on my list. The rules assistant got the most love, with some long-o...

2019-12-25 07:26:49 +0000 UTC View PostHappy holidays! I took a bit of a light patch due to other obligations, but filled out the promised 16 furniture items per category and fixed the highest-priority bugs. Without further ado:

The club is getting some love this patch as well. This version will add a DJ assignment, as well as dance floors for both your residents and your slaves. It also adds slot machines and keeps the ol...

2019-11-16 20:54:01 +0000 UTC View PostThat was a bit of a marathon, but I'm glad it's dealt with now. I'm sure there will be more tweaks to the animation engine in the future, but this will be the last major rewrite (and if it never ha...
2019-11-03 22:30:09 +0000 UTC View Post0.25 is uploading as I write this, so it's time to start work on 0.26 (after a day or two of some wholesome wall-staring).
The idea for this patch is to give you more customization opti...
2019-11-03 03:43:14 +0000 UTC View PostI'm planning to publish 0.25 in the next week or two, which means that it's time to vote on 0.26! 0.25 is a huge pain, so the options for the next patch are a little restricted to give me time to b...
2019-10-18 00:30:37 +0000 UTC View PostAs of Catalina, Apple requires that all applications (and all new versions of applications) be sent to them for approval. The process requires Apple hardware, a developer subscription, and, most im...
2019-10-15 19:11:17 +0000 UTC View PostThis has been the longest patch to work on so far, but I think it's worth it. The new animation engine adds a lot of realism to sex scenes, and that was one of the biggest issues before now.
It's taken a couple trips back to the drawing board, but I managed to get this thing working more generally. Thanks to a new dynamic raycasting system, it no longer fails with certain character sli...

I bit the bullet and bought a motion capture setup! Calibrating the new IK system for each pose is insanely tedious, and I'd rather not repeat the work after the inevitable animation overhaul.

I underestimated the amount of fine-tuning needed to make this system work smoothly. This patch is going to take another couple weeks. Procedural animations are a lot more fiddly than I expected, a...

It doesn't look like a win on the surface, but the math is working! There's quite a bit left to do (including replacing the strange meat suit with the player's actual skin), but the "top" animation...
2019-09-05 05:20:12 +0000 UTC View PostThis is pretty much what it says on the tin. It's a full patch because the variation in player/slave height means that the animations have to be proceduralized, and I don't know how to do that yet....
2019-08-26 16:02:38 +0000 UTC View PostI'm trying this new thing where I forget to launch the vote before publishing the patch, then start it late and pretend it was on purpose. Probably shouldn't have said that out loud.
