Next shift, fleshing out the story, animating our "first time" - Komadori Inn Devlog #5

The golden-rod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
The girls in apple orchards
In nut are being drown

Hello everyone!

Like little steam locomotives, we move forward and push production further every day.

Working at the bar

During our employment at Komadori Inn, we will be able to choose one of three duties each day. In the Alpha Build v 0.0.1 we have shown you a snippet of our first day of work at the inn, which included working at the front desk. Now Mugenji is working on the second type of duty, which is working in a hotel bar. We'll have to take orders from our guests, prepare the drinks, serve them to the tables and clean after, so the next guest may come. 

We have already created a list of drinks and ingredients, but apart from the programming itself, we are also refining  the behavior of our customers and the way we will be making the drinks, to make everything as pleasant and relaxing as possible. Of course, once the work is finished, it will be the perfect opportunity to release Alpha Build 0.0.2 to you!

The story

Between other tasks, we're fleshing out the story and the game's premise, and create the small bits needed to tell the tale of our little MC. Here we are, on our way to the hotel, in the glow of the setting sun.

while working on the game, what we planned earlier will probably change more than once. At the beginning, we assumed that (just like in "Long and Hard... Summer!") the main story would be wrapped up in a specific number of in-game days, but after recent conversations we came to the conclusion that we would prefer to abandon this approach. This requires changing a few points in the planned character development, but at this stage of production it is not a problem at all, and we believe that it will serve to make the game even better.

Animating first sex position

So why do I call it the first sex "position" and not "scene"? 

Sex in "Komadori Inn" will appear differently than in "LaHS!". In our previous game, sex scenes were mostly story driven and occurred when you performed certain actions. At "Komadori Inn" you will be able to propose sex to girls at any time. At any time - but with certain limitations resulting from your level of relationship with them, time of day, work schedule, your stat points or where you are currently in the hotel. And if the girl agrees to your invitation, you will choose the position in which you want to "do the deed". This also means that the girls will have the same (mostly) positions available to choose from, but through animation we can reflect the unique character of each girl in those positions.

So I'm in the process of animating this first position available - The Handjob. It's a lot of work, because even though we can have sex with girls in the same positions, in return we want to make these animations feel as "alive" as possible and reflect things like:

• The girl's current clothes
• MC's clothes
• The girl's excitement level
• MC's excitement level
• Speed
• Girl's character
• Our level of relationship with the girl

After seeing the first results, I'm sure we're making something great! And if you've missed it, you can check out the illustrations for the handjob here on Patreon. 

Aaaaah, can't wait to show you more! But now it's work, work, work, work, work.

Bye~!
