Pay Raise - Patreon Version Released (public post)
Added 2021-08-16 01:40:54 +0000 UTCIt took a little longer than I expected but I have my next scene ready for release :)
"You think you deserve a Pay Raise and have finally built up the courage to ask the boss."
Instructions: Follow the red buttons for the story.
I've experimented further with this release with the following:
Real Voice Actor
Angel Freakly generously help out with the voice-over in this one. I think it adds a nice bit of realism & character. I'd love to spend more time on the animations and expressions but it's a battle between polish and actually releasing something :)
Embody Testing
By using the embody it's possible to move the user around the scene embodied in the male character. I'm still using pose switching as I feel transposing the character introduces motion sickness (albeit these kinds of scenes seem popular on the hub).
In the poses section, I've not reset the male pose so you can move around between poses.
On one of the scenes, I've linked the hip to the head so you can control thrusting :) There's also included a button for the 'free man' the has the hip linked for some fun.
I've added left/right/both profiles again for Embody so if only one controller is being used. This alleviates the floating hand issue :)
You can also turn off embody in the scene to view the action in 3rd person.
Poses
I've animated some of these slightly. Not sure if it's better just to have more poses. The downside is it locks the character. I've added a 'Stop animation' button to get around this.
Mocap
I've tried using Kinect & CV1 controller to do a bit more in this one but I'm pushing up against the technology. I have an Index on order + 3 trackers (and counting) so hopefully, this will improve things considerably. My girlfriend is happy to help out also :) So the next ones should see improvement here.
Again I've made all the assets in this, some of the clothes and the look with RenVR wonderful textures.
Thanks to
Angel Freakly for the Voice Talent
Acidbubbles for Timeline 5, Embody, SpawnPoint & Glance.
RenVR for the Base Texture & HairStyle
AdamAnt5 for Realtime LipSync
Dub for AudioMate
Hunting-Succubus for the Enhanced Eyes
Jackaroo for the Gen Normals
MacGruber Essentials & Logic Bricks
NoStage3 UnityAssetVamifier
And of course... thanks to my Patrons,
these scenes take a lot of time and your patronage encourages me to keep going. Looking forward to making better and better scenes!
Please comment with any feedback, good or bad as it helps to inform future scenes.
I'll probably run a poll later in the week.
Comments
question: i use desktop, do I have to manually use a plugin for the male to thrust?

Anyways, I hope I've clarified things and any further questions about this feedback, please let me know! :)

2021-08-25 22:48:07 +0000 UTCSo just the Foreplay section animations might need some addressing. Three scenes: 1. Do what she says, 2. Eat out, 3. Touch Breasts. So after a certain period of time, in only these scenes the model will stop animating and moving. I'm not sure if this was intended, but it does make things less realistic because in the real world she will continue to keep moving around and animating her body and head.

2021-08-25 22:40:34 +0000 UTCSpeedy update XRWiz but yes I have checked 3.2 and the issue has been addressed now! Also the world scale seems to have been addressed as well which was probably due to Embody. Great job on that! So regarding the first point about the animations; I think I made a mistake on not being clear enough so apologies for that haha. Check the below comment for more info! :)

2021-08-25 22:30:01 +0000 UTCThanks for your review on the hub :) Yes, it’s an interesting environment at the moment. I’m still trying to get the balance right. Maybe some people don’t realise how much time goes in to making and polishing the scenes. I know they could still be better though.. but I gotta get them out at some stage. I like the ‘to be continued' idea :) I may experiment with this concept. I was going to try a more linear scene next time. I really want to try a branching story.

2021-08-25 07:52:28 +0000 UTCGreat scene. I reviewed your free version on Vamhub and criticized others giving you lower scores on free content when you provide so much more than other VAM content creators. It's just stupid how entitled some of their comments are. For your free versions, I suggest creating a really solid intro to the scene that includes beginning story progression and really smooth animation with foreplay and end the scene with "to be continued". So don't create the menu options early on, make the scene very linear with maybe 2 or 3 foreplay options that are extensive and done well, then don't let them progress to the main menu of content unless they buy the full version. People are clearly thinking they're entitled to more when they see your huge menus. Just remember, ignorance is bliss.

2021-08-25 04:58:58 +0000 UTCHi Jason, I've uploaded a new var with overlay on load turned off.. let me know if this fixes it in VR if you get a chance to check :)
XRWizard
2021-08-25 01:46:45 +0000 UTCThanks for Testing! I really appreciate it... it must be related to the overlay on load... I'll switch the on load off and repack :)
XRWizard
2021-08-24 23:41:18 +0000 UTCGreat stuff! Just had time to check the new update and for some reason nothing is being displayed in VR. Everything is black. Works fine in desktop though :)
Jason
2021-08-24 21:08:47 +0000 UTCHi Jason, just letting you know I've updated the animations to loop better :)
XRWizard
2021-08-24 03:10:58 +0000 UTCNo worries. If you test it yourself, you'll find out the model stops animating after her animations play-out. Looping it would be great for those who want to stay on one subscene longer than intended (i.e. all the subscenes in the beginning where you're asking for a pay-raise). Happy to look forward to the update! :)
Jason
2021-08-23 02:00:24 +0000 UTCHi Jason, Thanks for the feedback! That's a good point.. I'll switch some of the jumpy ones over to loop better. Also, there should be a marked improvement to animations in future scenes as I'm upgrading my motion capture to vive trackers + getting some mocap talent. In regard to the world scale.. that might be an issue left from embody, I'll look into this. Thanks again this is super helpful... I get so close to these scenes and can get a bit blind to the priorities.. I still see so much I could make better :)

2021-08-22 23:41:13 +0000 UTCAlso just to add: World Scale is set to 1.03 which is intended? My models are on the smaller side so had to reset the world scale to default for every subscene. Just curious! :)
Jason
2021-08-22 18:44:09 +0000 UTCThe scene was very immersive! If there's one feedback I'd like to give you (for once it seems!) is that I found it a little bit awkward when the model stops animating herself if you stay in a particular subscene for too long. Perhaps the animation could be looped so she doesn't eventually freeze in one place? Anyway, Pay Raise is definitely up there with Sisters of Sin! :)
Jason
2021-08-22 18:41:42 +0000 UTCChecking this out in a sec XRWizard! Looks good! :)
