MaliXemas! (and a Happy New Year!)
Added 2023-12-25 03:57:34 +0000 UTCMy idea for this month was simple, to make a mini-game to introduce you to the new possibilities of interaction during the sex scenes that I implemented, which would serve as an apology for the delay in finishing S4H and also a Christmas gift. I used the date for the game's theme and even thought of a funny title.

I planned to assemble everything in two days with a few more days for improvements, I would deliver the mini-game to you before Christmas. But everything went wrong as soon as I started combining new mechanics with the character rigging system.
As I already mentioned to you, I replaced the Rigging system I created with the native Unity system. For me, it made sense to use the system that already comes with the engine, after all, there was no way my system could be better. Well, my system is much better, in fact, it is impossible to make two characters interact with each other with the Unity system.
I had no choice but to resuscitate my system and I can't explain to you how complicated this was. It's a very complex system that I can barely understand how I've ever made it work.
But I managed to get my system working again. I improved it a lot, included some things, and simplified its use. If you want to know what a rigging system is, in the video in this post there is a part where I move some blue shapes to position the characters, you can't do sex scenes without it.
But Christmas arrived and I couldn't finish the mini-game in time. I thought about giving up and saving it for next year, or removing the Christmas theme, but that's nonsense, I want to finish giving you this little Christmas gift, even if it comes a little late.

I'm not in the mood to explain the technical details, so I'll just leave the link to the making-off video with Christmas music in the background. I also didn't have much time to edit the video, so I can't guarantee it will be interesting, but I recommend that you at least skip to the end of the video where I show the mini-game working.
Thank you very much for staying with me for more this year. I wish you all a sincere MaliXemas and a happy new year!

Thank you so much, it means a lot to know that there are people who believe in me and what I am doing. Regarding the rigging system, I completely agree with you. At times, simplifying processes can be counterproductive and make our lives harder than before. In this case, creating my own rigging system allowed me to customize it to fit our needs specifically. My system is probably the best for making a character do a blowjob, for example π. I think I didn't appreciate my work until I tried using other systems and failed miserably. I hope you enjoy the rest of the holidays and wish you a Happy New Year ahead!

I'm glad to see that you've managed to overcome the rigging problem. Sometimes things proposed to simplify life aren't necessarily the best. I think it's great and daring that you've created your own rigging system (and funny that even you find it hard to understand how you managed to get it up and running). Thank you for this video, which shows just how complex your work is, and just how hard you've worked. I'm also glad to see that you're not going to abandon this mini game just because it's late. Even if we don't have it for the Christmas period, it doesn't matter. Enjoy the end of the year and relax a bit. Can't wait to see the first results of your work in 2024! Kind regards
