Rogue-Like Update 5/13/2024 (layers on layers)

Been a while since I did an actual update, figured it was about due. Sorry about that. I have been hard at work, I've gotten mostly through one pose that I'm adding in the next build, and like maybe halfway through the other? I think you guys will have a lot of fun with them once they're finished. I'm aiming for "end of the month, early next," somewhere in there.


I've talked about this before, but I thought it might be fun for me to discuss a bit of how I make new animated sprites in this game. After having some basic ideas of what I'm aiming for, my first step is usually to do a rough mechanical draft of the core artwork, sometimes just a sketch with flat colors sloppily applied under it, so I will know how the shapes will be layered, and whether they will move how I intend them to. Sometimes a plan doesn't quite work out and I need to try something different, because it just looks too mechanical or will leave inevitable gaps. for a titjob sequence, for example, I typically have a body layer, a head layer above that and perhaps a hair layer underneath it, a layer for the breasts under the dick, and another for above the dick, perhaps a separate layer for hands or arms (depending on how they will move), or a layer for clothing that gets caught on the dick, etc.

Once I have the basic idea working, I put in the time to polish the artwork, make all the various clothing options, etc. Then I have to test those, and make sure they don't clip each other or do something weird during an animation, such as passing over something that they should go under. I tend to like to get a project close to finished, and then work on a different part for a bit, because then I can think about it more and maybe realize some change I'd like to make, which is why the first pose is only mostly complete. I plan to do the finishing touches after getting the second one mostly finished.

So that out of the way, I've finished about half the clothes for the second pose, and I'm getting into the second half now, talk you to guys later.

I just tried it and ended up getting it to run, but it failed to load the background images.

I use joiplay all the time and have zero issues. Make sure you have the renpy plugin for joiplay downloaded and you add the .exe file when adding the game to joiplay

More specifically I get this [code] I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File "game/script Functions.rpy", line 4876, in NameError: name 'StageRight' is not defined -- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------ Full traceback: File "script Functions.rpyc", line 4876, in script File "renpy/ast.py", line 1293, in execute File "renpy/display/transform.py", line 1075, in __init__ File "renpy/atl.py", line 306, in __init__ File "renpy/python.py", line 1159, in py_eval File "renpy/python.py", line 1152, in py_eval_bytecode File "game/script Functions.rpy", line 4876, in NameError: name 'StageRight' is not defined [/code]

That guy

Tried joiplay it takes forever and when it finally loads I get an error screen.

That guy

There is no audio.

Oni

I can not get any audio, should I do something? or the game has no audio?

jagoory

Just use JoiPlay, this is emulator for android)

Erlocimus

Please can you make some apk please

Looking forward to seeing the new girl get some animations - the squirrel girl scares me though.... she's creepy looking, I don't trust her with my nuts

FG13

nothing happends by just talking to her, she only asked if her blowjob was good enough. By chat menu, do you mean Change her -> Your petname? If so no, I can only choose "My initial's fine", "Call me by my name" or "Dude works"

Anonymous

Did you get her to the stat tiers where she should have had those scenes? Can you access those nicknames in the chat menu? Have you tried chitchatting with her a few times and perhaps activating the scene that way? There will definitely be a discussion about it before it becomes a wardrobe option.

Oni

Was this on an emulator? I don't know how it would be possible for that variable to not be defined under normal conditions, but sometimes emulators "forget" random variables. What was going on in the game at the time?

Oni

Looking forward to the next update. Take your time.

Take your time Oni, great dishes take time to cook 👨‍🍳🤌

Josh

and I still waiting for Magik and Domino in the game. 😁😁

Thank you, kind stranger.

Question, how do I access my save files?

uanokiyoko

I can't get doreen to ask about her tail. She hasn't given me the "i love you" speech or "Do you want to be called master" speech either. She has ripped her pants in the danger room and talked with gwen tho.

Anonymous

Thank you for the update and explanation oni!

Josh

A "remastered" patch would be pretty sick.

easy2predict

Cool! Thanks for the reply. I was asking about Discord because I thought it would be better to be able to post screenshots and/or save files for right where the bug happens. I'll continue reporting on here I just didn't want to be an annoyance either 😊

Pablo Honey

I don't, sorry. You can always post such things on any thread here (I'll get a notification, but the "most recent release thread" is generally the best place) or PMing me. I'll try to clear up that bug though, I'm not sure the exact cause off the top of my head, but I believe it's related to not clearing out the "teaching" version of the character properly (or alternately it's showing the close up version too soon).

Oni

Hi Oni. I was just curious if you have a Discord server where we could report minor bugs and what not. For example, when playing a new game on the latest release, the first time you catch Emma masturbating in the classroom, it's showing 2 images of her, one close and one far away.

Pablo Honey

i can't wait for the this update .Keep doing this great work ,Oni . 😁😁👍👍

WaNNaPAN

Yeah, although the fine details can be a little embarrassing, since the earliest animations were built when I barely understood the Renpy anim system, and have a lot of redundancy and backwards thinking (ie moving things a bit to the left in one part and then a bit to the right in another so that they end up back at the same point unnecessarily), and then some later ones got built on top of that so retain the same errors. Part of me wants to go back through and rebuild some of them from scratch to be more streamlined (they would end up looking basically the same, just with more efficient math in the coding of them), but then the other part of me prefers to push forward on new stuff. :D

Oni

Thank you for all the work you've put into this. it feels really nice to see the constant updates, know that your work is appreciated!

Jackson Tellings

i had actually been wondering about this for a while; which led me to de-compile the game and take a peek into the inner workings of the anims. it was seriously impressive seeing just how many layers goes into a single animation. keep up the great work!

easy2predict

Heh, don't get high on your own supply. :D

Oni

Yes.

Oni

Thanks for the update👍

Chaosdestille

So the real Q is: How often do you have to stop to JO while working? :D JK keep up the great work.

gnome

Is Oni talking about Betsy or is he talking about Doreen?

StarBat

you're doing a bang up job and have been happy to contribute to what is an fantastic game. The characters are numerous the areas diverse and the interactions are pleasurable to say the least. Long story short keep up the good work I don't know if there is more than one of you working on this project but pats on the back for everyone.

Joseph VELA

This game is the best. Thank you for your hard work

Tanner Stevens

I know this is weird to say about a porn game but I genuinely have fun playing it, aside from the sex, I like having to save up money and building a (fake) relationship with the characters

uanokiyoko

good luck oni thanks for the hard work !!! we are all waiting patiently.
