Anduo Report - May 26th, 2021

Heya all! Vils here with weekly lewds for the week! Lots of fun concept art stuff this week so let's get into it!

Project-Next Environmental Concept Art

We've been doing a lot of explorative work into what the environments could look like. We've been trying out 3D and 2D things and right now we're in love with the 2D concepts that you can see at the very top of this image dump.

One of the big problems we've been running into with early prototyping is that the problem of determining draw order is actually much more difficult than we initially thought for a more isometric style with multiple layers of height, compared to TC's flat straight-on 2D look. 

With TC, it's very simple. We tie draw order to how high on the Y axis something is. Like if Jenna is stood above a tree, we can safely assume that she's actually behind the tree. And if she's below a tree, we can assume that she's in front of the tree.

However, with this new look. We've also been trying to experiment with having multiple levels of height in a scene. For example, having someone standing on top of a building, while also having people standing on the ground behind them. With TC's logic, since this person on the building is above the person on the ground on the Y axis, they should draw behind them. But that wouldn't make sense because there's this hidden Z coordinate that needs to determine how high in the world this person is standing. 

We're still working on figuring this out and it's just a bunch of really annoying math to solve.

Project-Next Story

Right now we're in love with the idea of playing a character of a long-extinct succubus-like race that recently gains her succubus traits living in a fantasy world where unlicensed sex is outlawed and the land is ruled by a tyrannical religious group. Naturally, this group wouldn't be happy with a succubus running around so there'd be some conflict there. It's a bit of a fun reversal of how TC's world was, where instead of the world being the source of sex and corruption, we're the source of the sex and (optional) corruption in the world. This will also allow us to integrate sex into combat from the very beginning in a way that makes perfect sense.

We're excited to have races like catgirls, bunny girls, humans, elves,  plant girls, and all kinds of other fantasy races. It'll be fun to have a variety of character designs that weren't really that possible in TC as much since TC is a more human-centric world.

Project-Next MC Concepts

Here's a peek at a bunch of different looks that we could go with for our main succubus girl. We're playing around with the idea that you'd start out with either no horns or just very short nubs, and then your horns would grow as you progress. It's all very explorative and nothing is final yet. Let us know which you like most! 

Project-Next Art Style

Here's a look at how the character art style has progressed since we last showed it off. We're using Liedryn from TC as a placeholder to test what a character could look like.

Not much to show here that isn't spoilers! But we did finally put out the monthly release recently, so we hope that you've all been enjoying that!

New Outfit Concept

Here's a peek at some concept work on a new dyeable retro 80s outfit that JuggerDown has been working on! Right now it's in the line art phase.

Non-Futa Bar Jenna

Here's a look at the work that bear's been putting in to make the futa part of the bar end an optional thing. Tahdah! The penis is gone!

Bar CG

Here's a look at the fun juice layers that rated has been working on for one of the bar end's CGs.

Bar End Animation

And here's an early WIP peek at the animation that bear is working on for the same CG!

Here's a quick update from Thao on the CG front for Rosas are Red! Splish splash!

That's all this time! We'll see you all next week for another Anduo Report!
