Thank you so much for the support this month! I really appreciate what you do for the game of our dreams, without your help I wouldn't even be able to come close to the current state of the game!
But sadly, lately Patreon support has been going downhill a bit, and it's quite strange - the game's going very good and lots of systems, features, models are being completed and finished.
Surely the updated character visuals took a while, but it was important to do now, because there's been overwhelming amount patron requests on our discord channel to improve the graphics of the game. It's all great, but truth is - the better the graphics, the more time it requires to make it look good. However it's actually all complete now!
This is the new eye shader - probably the best one I've managed to build in any engine or renderer!
Eye colors are, of course, customizable like the rest of the body, even has ability to independently change left and right iris colors.
They also can move... independently... but that will be controlled by special animations that will make sure it doesn't look as derpy! (I'm basically just changing positions by hand in this gif)

Eyes are also capable of changing the size of the pupil, such as when character is located in low-light situation.. or just overjoyfully excited:

Overall I'm pretty proud of how it turned out! It's not a physical based eye with all the science and stuff, but instead its artistically stylized, just like the rest of the game! There is even a little bit of Anime thrown into it :}
IMPORTANT For high-tier Patrons: Don't forget to send me your ideas about your rewards (messages/pictures/statues/bodyparts). Those rewards require your input your creativity. I can't just make them automatically! So please - send me a PM, message on Discord, or even leave a comment anywhere! Soon they will start appearing in the upcoming game builds.
