WIP 36

Added 2025-04-06 00:13:01 +0000 UTC

For all returning characters from earlier chapters, improvements need to be made to match the graphical quality of the newer characters . After all, it would look odd to have the current Daniel standing next to Nicky’s old model from Chapter 3 . This is also a great opportunity to refine aspects I wasn’t happy with before and define each character more clearly.

The improvements include enhanced facial features and better facial harmony, while still preserving the characters’ identities . The eyes now include a tearline, occlusion, and added depth to the iris and pupil . Skin textures have been improved as well. Most importantly, the hair — which used to be made with hair cards — is now fully strand-based, with each strand individually rendered.

In addition, unique facial expressions are created for each character.

In the new chapter, you’ll see these and more characters returning. I can’t wait to show it to you!

Chapter 7 is still in development and should be released soon.
