WIP - More Belly Expansion
Added 2025-12-20 00:35:50 +0000 UTCHello again! I still don't have a new build yet, but I have been making some good progress despite a few setbacks.
First off, my CPU kicked the bucket last week so my PC was unusable until I was able to get it replaced. Thankfully, it's up and running again. I also realized the blob belly phase would need a lot more special treatment than I anticipated, but I'm figuring it out. Luckily, I was able to get the initial belly growth phases working in Unity pretty easily so here's a peek at that.
As I mentioned before, the blob belly phase needs a totally different setup so it can roll and work with the softbody physics. This means I had to build a new belly using the maxed out belly blendshape as a reference. The new belly mesh is separate from the rest of the character and has a much higher polygon density so it can use the softbody system more effectively.
I also had to make a new set of animations and set up an adaptive rig that can react with the belly in a more convincing way. Notice how her hand stays gripped to the belly as it wobbles and her elbow bends as you'd expect. Without this, her limbs would clip through the belly as it jiggles around.
I still need to make a few more animations, but the idle and jumping feels pretty good so far. She also gets squished a bit when the belly rolls over her. :P
There's still a ways to go, but most of the hard stuff is figured out. I still need to make clothing textures for the blob belly and hook it up to some of the other systems. I'd really like to get this update done before the end of the year and start off 2026 with some inflation stuff.
Thanks again for your patience and happy holidays!

2025-12-20 11:42:45 +0000 UTCWow! This is looking great! Awesome job on everything. Super excited to get to play around with this new shape! :) I think I speak for a lil' niche of people when I say it'd be nice to get to play around with the fart/burp sound system more in the future. Maybe being able to adjust the pitch of the sounds- but I specifically think it'd be neat to manually hold a button down to control the length of the sound effects. I have absolutely no clue if anything like that would even be possible, but it was a neat thought I wanted to share. Thanks again for all your hard work!

2025-12-20 11:00:45 +0000 UTCThis is not an urgent request, and I don’t want to undercut your work that’s really impressive. I just want to put this here before I forget. When farting or burping is enabled, maybe characters could release a massive fart and/or burping when their belly is squished.

2025-12-20 10:09:54 +0000 UTC*Kiunny Lab on duty!* Excellent physics and collision integration. The only thing that doesn't seem right is that according to the character it should be slightly more "plump" to give a "blob effect". Anyway it's a great work and Happy Bnnuymass/Blimpmass blobygon.
