Top 5 requested body shapes uploaded

Hi Supporters,

This is how it mostly goes every week or so. I create and render the missing body shapes the most requested by the game client. Each of these top 5 batches (excluding Oliver) are roughly 40-50 renders, its a rythme of production that I have judged to be sustainable, One time I tried to render a top 10 and that was quite a stretch as each render requires more than just rendering time but also scene adjustments which can't be automated or worked in batch. (Excluding again, Oliver)

The screen grab shows how game metrics are collected, whenever a missing image is encountered, a new line is added in the database, then its just a matter of ordering them by count of occurrence.

• Character 1 is Emma
• Character 2 is Olivia
• Character 3 is Ava
• Character 4 is Jack
• Character 5 is Oliver
• Character 6 is Charlie

HeightLevel 0 = 6'

Some attributes are limited to a certain level (ex: Fitness is 5) other add-up to one another to push beyond the first attribute's limit (ex: Muscle + BodyBuilding = 10+10)

I'll wait a couple of days and start on another top 5, hoping that further testing will bring up some later game images to the top.

 I see that a few testers have pushed the game to December, I can't wait to hear from those who completed the first semester, how the game behaved after that because it is almost uncharted territory!

Besides the rendering I've been optimizing a few game structures to increase performance and reduce flickering. But there is just nothing that will make the images download faster on their first use. (The movie takes a while...) I've also been putting a little bit of time programming the next distractions that will hopefully make the game a bit more enjoyable. Maybe A6 will bring one of them to user testing.

We're still almost one month away from A6, so those saved games won't go anywhere until then and so far A6 looks like it wont need a do-over on your progress (this is NOT a promise!) it might be worth it to try to play further in the next few weeks, who knows... I'll wire in game money to those who PM me when they run out.

Ciao!
