The Naomi 3D Sample Demo has been released to Patrons!

It's finally fucking done days after i originally intended to release it. If you've been watching my stream (or the recordings) you'll see the past few days have been full of hell and long hours working on this. Unfortunately this means the Naomi Halloween image is delayed :<. You'll see preview sketches soon, I still want to finish it asap but I'm exhausted.

Any way this content of this build is the type of content I'd like to release more regularly and publicly. In short, i'll release an animation like this (Simple animation, cinematic camera, with optional free-look) to patrons if there's no The Couch content ready. And some time in the next month a public release of the same animation, maybe with a little additional stuff like audio. And this animation should be available on PC, Web, and android. 

Now i hear what you're saying, "Sacb0y this is really pretty, you sure you can get it to run on a phone and browser?" fuck yeah I do. One of my goals has always been release higher quality 3D content for phones. It's why I've focused on optimization for so much of my 3D work. And i'll aim for it to look about as good as it does here beyond some obvious limits.

Speaking of quality, this sample is still very much in progress, literally every asset in the "apartment" space is place holder. I'm not much of a modeler when it comes to objects. But we do have an environment artist that can make objects for us, we're just still planning things. Beyond that there's a range of technical issues i just could find time to fix, one of the animations glitches, some skinning issues, the physics decided "Fuck you i'm going to work differently in the editor than in a build for no fucking reason so you can be forced to make multiple builds for hours trying to fix it HUR HUR HUR!". I just wanted it done at a certain point.

i'll be dealing with these later in some free time, Generally these things only get noticed in the models use. while other things i need feedback from asset developers.

Now lets answer some quick possible questions about this release...

Whats up with all the white in the scene?

Place holder, the proper space is still being designed, expect a proper environment to slowly grow from this initial mock up. The lay out is roughly set in stone but the design of the room is not.

This wasn't set up as a scene in unity until the last several weeks, but the model and animations were made over the last several months. It's on a massive time crunch between everything else i do. 

How much of the apartment will we see? 

All of it in due time, it's ultimately going to be a fully featured space. The outside will mostly be superficial for a long time though. For now there's just a random picture.

while we haven't talked about our goals much long term, this space is more than just places to have sex in ultimately. We'll be expanding on the interactive features found in The Couch. 

Will this be a proper game like The Couch soon?

Only when The Couch is complete as far as the project outline states. After that we'll move some of the systems over to this project having a well established foundation by that time. In the end though expect that to be a very different game scale wise. It's another step going from a Couch to an Apartment.

Is there a male avatar for different sex positions than solo?

Yes, i'll be asking for feedback on this soon, but the dildo model is made from the male model, so you can expect the same dick. It will have the same customization possible in The Couch once it's part of a release.

As a fun fact I've designed it to be able to toggle the hands, body, head, and dick all as separate parts for full customization. 

The model is human and it is a rather tall bloke. The avatar is designed to be a silhouette type avatar not a character. I've designed the model to be exceptional in a few ways but average in others. 

Will there be X-ray/womb view in 3D?

I definitely want it, i have some concepts for how to pull it off. Expect a more symbolic representation than whats in The Couch. I feel like that will be as compelling... I don't personally want to do a little window off to the side, but worst case scenario it could be that too...

I want more Camera control...

All in due time, for now I'm trying to hide all the issues lol...and MiNT would need to program it.

Will there be VR?

Yes, MiNT has been itching to get back into VR work again so expect some fiddling there. We recently got a VR headset thanks to a client who's also doing VR stuff and we helped them release it.

There's nothing to say specifically on what VR stuff there will be but do know there's always going to be non-VR version unless it's impossible otherwise.

POV sex has always been a huge focus for my work with Naomi and I intend to continue that trend.

When is the next The Couch update?  

I'll be back full force on The Couch now that this is out and i have some peace of mind. There's editing on The Couch's dialogue and finishing up the new animation. I'll announce a more specific release schedule for this month second week of the month after the 12th.

Can we request or vote on new animations since these are easier to do? 

Possibly, I need to plan things a bit first. I may leave some of this up to votes, and others I may make a patron tier for with the understanding the animation is still public release. I do want my doing this to be as much rewarding as the Couch releases. But i know people are here for certain things so I don't want to do something that ends up becoming too much of a main thing before The Couch is done...

Why are you doing this again?

I have at least 4 clients that are 3D focused, and none that do bone based animation lol. I need to put my skills and tools to use effectively. This stuff costs money after all...

When is the next Raffle?

It will be later in the month, this week I'll be travelling, then i'll need to get back to work and make sure nothings falling behind. Once that's done i'll be comfortable with a Raffle. it's also possible i may do it as a warm up...or maybe some other surprise...

How long will the Naomi Halloween image take? 

I'll try and pick some day over the next week  or so to do it. I'll post sketches at least, maybe do something a little special than just a painting to make up for this :P. you guys know i work fast it's just a matter of when. 

If you have any other questions i didn't answer here feel free to ask! 

Thanks for your continued support! I now must drive 17 hours...
