Friday Update 06/26/2020 - New Poll
Added 2020-06-27 05:42:48 +0000 UTCThis week I've been working on my side project, mostly practicing with the rig that came with the models. If you're not interested in what's going on with that project you can skip ahead to the bottom where I talk about FuckNAF.
Regarding the side project and back end stuff:
Here's a couple renders from earlier in the week:

The modeler is RyanReos, so check his stuff out if you like what you see.
Unfortunately the rig that was included (also used in the above gifs, credit to Gifdoozer) was made with a free blender extension called rigify. Apparently rigify and Unity are mortal enemies because there's no way I could get the rig functioning inside of Unity's humanoid rig system in any capacity. As a result I'm making my own rig using AutorigPro which is a premium rigging extension with an, in my opinion, much easier to work with rig. The practice in rigging will be good for me overall since going from a sculpt to a game ready model is 95% of the work/expense. I'm also planning on extending a Unity extension, Umotion pro, by combining it with my internal "Composite Animation" and "Event Board" extensions to create an internal set of software to allow making/importing/modifying animations as friction-less as possible.
Regarding FuckNAF:
FuckNAF is pretty late into its development and as I've mentioned before there's only a few things left to add before I consider the game to be V 1.0: Maledom animations, and Springtrap/Golden Fredrika. Naturally since things were added in an order determined by popularity the remaining items (maledom scenes) are the least popular. I've been thinking about how to address this issue and I've come up with two possible solutions:
A. I work as quickly as possible on the remaining content so that not as much time is spent on it. After 1.0 I'll start adding content that is based entirely on polls (i.e. more femdom scenes, non-dom scenes, bonus characters.).
or
B. I work on 1.0 content alongside poll content which will slow down the progress to 1.0 considerably, but will also add new stuff that more people want.
I made a poll on SmutCube.com to determine what approach I take towards V1.0 so please let me know what you think!
Unless I run into issues like I had the past couple months with sales tax and the Unity update I should be able to get one "chunk" of content (a new character/new game over scene) done once a month. Option A would result in one month of a maledom scene and one month of a new character while Option B would result in one month of either a maledom scene or a new character and one month of poll determined content.
Comments
I don't truly have a preference, the pros and cons are about equal. FuckNAF has a lot of issues that make development sometimes frustrating but it's also overall easier to just add new content on top of the pile. On the other hand starting a new project is always fun, but there's a lot of boiler plate and tedious work to be done to make sure it doesn't end up with the same issues as FuckNAF. So in the end reaching 1.0 and starting development on a second project amounts to trading mild frustration for mild tedium.

2020-06-28 16:44:53 +0000 UTCThanks for the concern, I just want to make it clear that I don't have a problem with almost any fetish as long as the participants are willing and able to consent. My main motivation is to make a "complete" game. If only some sex bots have maledom scenes it feels as if there's a hole in the content, so either they all have one or none of them do. It's not that I have a preference for the content that's necessary for 1.0, I've just made a commitment to those particular additions. If I have to delay them a short time to keep things interesting for the people making it happen it's not a problem for me to do so.

2020-06-28 16:35:35 +0000 UTCI wouldn't focus so so so much on polls for content to add to the game. Yes its a nice benefit to encourage donations but at the end of the day you should be doing what you prefer. If you like femdom make more of that and you'll attract that audience. If you don't like femdom or any other fetish for that matter but you force yourself to do it because of polls, it will attract more people that are into that thing and thus make the problem worse.
